I need a proper refactoring of 'saving face' culture. Is it actually bigger in Asia, or more openly talked about?

It's more part of culture & identity to value membership in a group, thus ppl readily do things to save reputation.

"more Asian"? Every time you hesitate then give an Uber driver ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you are saving face. Face ⍺ reputation ⍺ social ⍺ tech!

Honor, shame, public image are how hierarchal and/or authority-focused cultures maintain order. Cf. single mom in US, Korea, Iran.
