The author is a member of Tokyo Simbun editorial board who once went to developing countries in Africa and to Haiti which was also hit by huge earthquake. And Mr. Yoshioka visited his old friend in Iwate Pref. and saw people's endeavor to reconstruct badly damaged their living places.
He compared people's attitude between Japan and other countries and found that we are more cooperative, kind and diligent than Haitian, Ethiopian and so on.
The results of his analysis of why it is so are as follows:
1.Japanese are decendant of agricultural race. Group work was necessary and important in their community. That's why the spirit of helping each other is left in our DNA
2.Mother Nature, or comfortable four seasons in Japan let Japanese people appreciate and respect various parts of nature: mountains, rivers, oceans and so on. That's why the megaearthquake victims weren't angry against nature. Instead, they accepted it as an inevitable bad luck.
