 Japanese Etiquette and Ethics in Business | Ichiban To Biri - Feeling Superior and Inferior
The Americans, Germans, English, and French in particular have traditionally been afflicted with a very conspicuous and destructive superiority complex that is a distinctive facet of their national characters.
The core of the traditional Japanese superiority complex probably derived from the ancient mythological theme that Japan was created by divine beings and that the Japanese themselves, however indirectly, were descendants of these same superior creatures.
This accomplishment has noticeably increased their feelings of superiority, but their feelings of inferiority remain a disrupting, emotional influence in their lives because they are now primarily related to racial characteristics that are absolute and to the minuscule size and economic vulnerability of their country.

 metamorphosism: New complex discovered
An evolutionary psychologist might say that the Superiority Complex arose as humans evolved from your apocryphal caveman into the slicker social beings we now are, in order to spare us this painful epiphany.
Other symptoms of the Superiority Complex would include deriving deep satisfaction from finding typographical errors in the newspaper or other publications; experiencing simultaneous pain and pleasure when a television or radio announcer misuses a word; feeling a diffuse sensation of "slumming" almost anywhere one goes; a general feeling of misanthropy.
One might add to this list secondary symptoms such as feeling extreme distress in the vicinity of schools one has attended, often to the point of feeling nauseous merely at the smell of cafeteria food; avoidance of one's hometown and especially high-school reunions, often to the point of moving to a whole nother continent.

 Alfred Adler's understanding of Inferiority
Indeed, the effort of concealment may be so great that the person himself ceases to be aware of his inferiority as such, being wholly preoccupied with the consequences of the feeling and with all the objective details that subserve its concealment.
The striving for superiority is innate and carries individuals from one stage to the next.
The aggressive impulse was followed by the "will to power" and finally "striving for superiority." Many people reading Adler come to the wrong conclusion that striving for superiority is equated with "striving for power." Adler described the striving for power as a source of neurosis and crime.

 Adler
The striving for superiority is based on the human's ability to be aware of himself, of his ability to remember past experiences and to imagine himself in the future.
When you hear terms like inferiority feelings, inferiority complex, superiority complex, compensation, style of life, goal-directed, family constellation, fictional finalism, the relationship between body, mind, and spirit, and psychiatry as the science of interpersonal relations, to mention only a few, you are encountering ideas developed by Alfred Adler.
When Adler replaced the earlier formations of the meaning of superiority by striving for perfection, he did not leave the earlier out of account; they were given a subordinate position in his system, just as he (p 102) had given the drives and heredity and environment a subordinate place.

 Opposition has superiority complex, looking down on Venezuelan ways   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
On the other side, "Florentino y el Diablo" -- directed by Michael New, Trinidad-born and settled in Venezuela, and based on a poem of the same name by the late Alberto Arvelo -- has been taken up by government supporters and even Chávez himself as a banner for their cause.
"The opposition have a superiority complex, they have the devil in them and believe they are better than the rest of the population, looking down on the country and on Venezuelan ways," Chávez said on the film's opening day.
The state-owned TV channel has tried to recreate this success by launching "Amores de Barrio Adentro" (Love in the Neighborhood) in the midst of the election campaign, telling week by week the story of sentimental tribulations in a Caracas neighborhood caught up in Venezuela's acute political confrontation.
