―What have you learned about yourself through studying your country of concentration or national values?

I learned that value systems of a thing were different by a country. Our value system completely changes by the country where we are born if I express it in other words. For example, it seems that a tattoo is "a yakuza" in Japan. However, It is common in New Zealand. In this way I was proud of Japanese culture that is words, custom some other time by learning a difference with other countries.
