What was interesting was that, even though a majority of the adolescents considered collective punishment unjust, most showed a tendency to take responsibility for behavior in order to avoid punishment to the collective, and this tendency increased with age.

When you consider that Chinese culture emphasizes the group or family over the individual, it¡¯s not surprising individuals would ¡°sacrifice¡± for the good of the whole. Maintain the group harmony is a top priority. Plus, given that Confucianism stresses obedience to elders/leaders, it¡¯s important to respect authority, even if the outcome is unpleasant.

From the authority¡¯s point of view, it¡¯s understandable they¡¯d want to punish the entire lot. In China — even today as self-responsibility is gaining more popularity — people would, in general, rather not be the one in charge, but rather spread the responsibility around. It¡¯s safer that way, right? As long as everyone holds a little responsibility, no one gets sacked from their job. If you¡¯ve ever dealt with any bureaucracy, you know what I mean.

I think of the one time I almost ¡°lost¡± my entire life savings in a snafu involving electronic bank transfers from one bank to another (not for the uninitiated, that¡¯s for sure). I was caught in a ping-pong match between the banks as to who was not responsible for the mistake. Later on, I discovered it was a name input mistake — obviously an electronic, and not human, error.

Yeah, right.
