I have just finished reading Goodbye, Things by Fumio Sasaki, which I enjoyed.
As a minimalist myself it's always interesting to read someone else's thoughts on the subject.


On page 240 he mentions, very casually, "during ethics lessons in elementary school".

So in Japan they have ethics classes in elementary school.  I assume for that age group that the classes include ethics in day to day life, not just the sort of thing doctors or lawyers are expected to be exposed to.

So in Japan people learn about ethics, in everyday life, in elementary school.


Sounds like a very good idea to me.

I wonder if there are other countries that do this.
