One of the elements of the Korean mindset that often poses a special problem and danger for Westerners is the role of changpi (chahng-pee), or shame, in the culture—a role that is so deeply ingrained in Korean attitudes and behavior that it is one of the primary foundations of their national character.

     Instead of being programmed by a religion to feel guilt as a result of wrong doing, and being subject to punishment by the creators and keepers of this method of social control, Koreans have traditionally been conditioned to feel intense shame when they are guilty of or are accused of wrong-doing, as well as when someone fails to follow the institutionalized rules of etiquette and morality in their relationships with them, thereby damaging their “face.”

     As it happens, this system turns out to be a more powerful control mechanism than religious-based guilt feelings, resulting in Koreans in general being far better behaved women's cheap ugg classic short metallic boots soft gold 5842 on sale uk usa than their religious-guilt oriented counterparts in other countries.

     The role of shame in Korean culture derives from the influence of Confucianism, which teaches that personal shame should be the basis of all morality—not religious concepts that promise punishment in an afterlife or secular laws that call for punishment inwomen's cheap ugg classic short paisley boots grey 5831 on sale uk usa  real life.

     In such societies people can do the most horrendous things and if they are not somehow caught they can behave as if they are innocent and live normal lives, well-treated by family, friendshttp://xulinguo.blog.igg.com/ and others. Many, in fact, take false pride in having gotten away with something.
