‘Serving for others? Or, being under a carpet?’ Under the social norm of the herd mentality (1/ 2)

‘The herd mentality’ - 10th October 2020


Personally, I sometimes wonder if the current phenomena of the polarisation have to do with the indifference. 

This is a story I heard when I recently returned to Japan from the Philippines and stayed at my parents’ house for a while.


This story happened in a small town next to the city where my parents retired and lived. The first people to get infected with the coronavirus in this small rural town were a little girl who is still at the age of attending a kindergarten and her mother. It’s a rural area, so it’s like everyone knows what kind of people live around. The rumor spread quickly, and even after recovering, it seems that everyone managed to avoid any contact with this little girl and her mother. Perhaps the parent and the child felt hard to live in, they moved to a place no one knew and simply disappeared.


When I told this story to an acquaintance living in Sapporo from the rural city, ‘Yes, I understand the response of the typical rural people. It’s hard for me to go home now. If somebody would see me parking with the Sapporo car number at my parents, it might influence the reputation of my parents. so I can not go home now.’

‘Eh?  It’s not the fault of anyone, and we don’t even know who actually are infected really anymore, so it is not one way of dealing.‘  I thought.
