Tradition and modernity of Japanese security culture
Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2012, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
This article aims to show that currently, when our culture, system of values, sense of security ant the economic situation suffer from a vast crisis, it is advisable to look for a solution not only in the immediate vicinity. European systems of values derive from antiquity and Christianity. Unfortunately nowadays they are frequently forgotten and neglected, which lowers the level of ethical and security culture (both in micro and macro scale). Western societies become the “worshipers” of consumerism. That is why the values which came from ancient China and Japan and have been collected is Bushidō (the ethical code of the Japanese marital clans) can be an interesting alternative for Europeans. It is possible for the Far East values to relate to Western cardinal virtues. Seeing the fundamental virtues in a new way can be a help to the renewal of the value system among Western societies. This applies mostly to uniformed services which have contact with the Far East principles through training of the Marital Arts.<br/><br/>
