    TFT Episode 33- Loose vs Strict 2

    Is Japan a strict country to live in? In our original loose vs strict episode we looked at Michele Gelfand’s paper on the looseness and stictness of countries’ social and cultural mores. Going from the broad to the particular, this time we look at the norms of Japanese and American interpersonal relationships, workplace relationships especially, and analyze the rules of interaction and behavior.
