Abstract
This program explores the central values of Japan, Germany, and the U.S. and focuses on what drives each of these societies. America’s hallmark is individualism, Japan’s the preeminence of the group; in America, freedom and diversity are primary values; in Japan, conformity and a powerful sense of nationalism prevail. Germany stands between the two, asserting individualism but striving, more than the U.S., for social harmony and consensus. The program shows how education is a metaphor for the contrasts in the three societies.
