The Japanese demonstrated how a genuinely civilized society should behave, especially in time of disaster.
The Japanese conducted themselves with extreme decency and dignity after the triple disaster of earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis rolled into one.
Compare that to how people in New Orleans behaved after hurricane Katrina hit the USA --- there were widespread lawlessness, disorder, greed, selfishness and outrageously uncivilized conduct; quite a stark contrast and big difference!
