Hf you have just gone through a Swing door in a public place
shop、do you generally hold the door open for the next person behind yo
even though a stranger? Most British people do so automaticallY。 and

Tn an electric train in Britain、 some people are standing because the

and a few of the standing ones can now sit down. In such cases、Japanese tend

to disregard the[ 6 ]ofothers. Afew yearS ago 1 saw in a full electric train

in Tokyo an elderly man standing、 and a young man SDrawled acrOSS two SeatS

room for the old man to sit down, but he dd not move. The elderly man Was
holding himself upright. andTcould see by the Way his chin was drawn in that

make a room for an elderly man. The young man replied angrily、“"1T am a

There is one big exception to the indifference and even {[ 9 lshown by
many Japanese to StrangerS、 and that is the case of children. In these same

electric train carriages, We see people giVing uD their seats to let small
Ghildren kneel and look out of the window. In Britain there is far less interest

rather a[ 10 ]. This has always been the case, DerhapS: OVer a hundred

Probably it was based on a half understood idea of Darwinism. Before that,
children were thought of as being filled with sm 一 jke httle devils, in fact
especially the boys. The only hope of controlling their natural tendency to sin
was by severity. Things have changed now, and we have a much more lenient
attitude towards children, but even so, it is not to be compared with the
