>While in the West people have no respect to other people

Big overgeneralization. Here in Germany the "Recht am Eigenen Bild" (literally right to your own image) has existed for decades, and similar to Japan publishing images of others has some pretty big limitations and without consent is usually restricted to places or persons of public interest. To the chagrin of Google Street view or Twitch streamers

It’s more generally known as personality rights / right to publicity and a lot of western countries have laws relating to this:
