Japanese commuting environment: Integral Theory 4 quadrants


As you may know, Japanese commuting environment (lower right quadrant) is not so good in large cities. In particular, we, business persons suffer on a crowded train every morning. I think this commuting environment (lower right quadrant) may have negative impact on other quadrants.

When I commute in an overcrowded train, I feel unpleasant and I sometimes think that I want to escape my current situation (upper left quadrant).

Then, this feeling makes me irritated or stressful, moreover this emotion leads to working behavior (e.g., not efficiently act, a lot of sighs).

I suppose that a large number of Japanese business persons feel like this.

As a result, a jam-packed train becomes an infamous symbol in Japanese working environment and we, Japanese have negative image (lower left quadrant) about commuting.
