现代日本人日常言行中的等级意识

The Estate Ideas of Contemporary Japanese Daily Words and Deeds

现代日本人为什么非常重视日常生活中的礼仪呢?这主要和日本人的等级意识密切相关。在现代日本社会中,已经不存在像古代那样严格的等级制度了,但是在日本人日常的言行中仍然带有浓厚的等级意识。语言方面主要从发达的日语敬语和男女语言的差别两方面来探讨。行为表现方面除了探讨交换名片和坐席顺序两方面之外,还涉及了企业中典型的年功序列制。但是日本人的等级意识非但与现代日本社会毫不矛盾,反而非常和谐地适应了现代日本社会,有效地规范着当今日本人的各项社会活动。
