All things have to be atomic, individual, always. There is no society and no society level discourse allowed, using individuals as samples. Any discussion of societal level problems and solutions is heavily discouraged, by those running societies. You must focus more on the self, the small unit. Always.
Change is forbidden, and subverted through the discussion culture that reflects on it.
That would be a bit surprising. Any statistics to back this up?
The TFA doesn't mention which gender it affects the most, but similar issues in Japan (taijin kyofusho / hikikomori) are more widespread among men. Also the quote from TFA
> "Parents give everything to their children to ensure them opportunities, and they also expect a lot from their children," she says. "They believe their children must inherit the wealth and social status that they have achieved."
Clearly applies to men first. In South Korea the culture is still very patriarchal and pressure on young men to deliver success/money/legacy is high while women traditionally are not seen in that role (and as a result are really discriminated in pay etc.)
