Version 2 Invisibe Belief

It is difficult to recognize invisible beliefs because people from different culture cannot follow or realize that. Therefore, someone thought it is common sense, but others said it is invisible or it cannot be a common sense.

In Japan, there are many beliefs in Japanese common sense which is difficult to understand. "annmoku no ryokai" is one of examples. It means "Answer the question without saying about that". If you are going to buy home electronics at the retailer, you are planning to get discount from store cloak. You say "How much is it?" if price card are already displayed. Store cloak will answer "it's already tried the best effort for you". It means "please don't expect more discounts." Sometime, you can get more discount at there but almost you can't.

From Ted's videoclip, we could understand the definition of "Invisible beliefs". From her perspective, it is unusual why staff and manager did not to serve tea with sugar because they have it. I think her opinion is right. However, Japanese people afraid to take a position which majority did not. Why? Japanese tend to tease people who did not follow current trend or tradition. "annmoku no ryokai" is one of traditions, so people who will come Japan should understand before you arrive!
