Pertinacious Papist looks to Confucianism

to explain Why there is no looting in Japan.

I wonder though how much of an influence Confucianism had on the masses in Japan.

Homogeneity is mentioned as a reason for why there is no looting (if indeed this is the case) not as an explanation in itself. Rather, it is the absence of one cause of intersocial conflict -- multiculturalism. By itself, it is not enough to explain moral behavior -- one must look at the culture.
