Japanese Social Hierarchy: Order or Constraint?

£7.00

As we discuss all aspects of freedom, this event aims to open up a conversation about hierarchy, order, authority and discipline as an essential part of a functioning society. We will study Japanese social structure as an example of such a model.

Japanese society consists of intimate hierarchical relationships which emerged due to necessities of life over a long period of time. In the past, relationships were regulated by clans to ensure trust, respect and fulfillment of social obligations. Nowadays, the world looks different but acknowledging hierarchy and acting within certain boundaries supports societal order and structure. There is a belief that a true democracy is not possible without equality and equality assumes absence of hierarchy. And at the same time, Japan offers us a different example of a working system which values subordination, democracy, duties and roles. Just like there are natural constraints in nature and our own body, there is an argument to accept limitations. This talk is designed to explore a possibility to see structure and constraints as a critical part for understanding freedom.
