Is Japan becoming a bunch of fascists?

[L.S.D]

Anyways, I wish I was a japense dude, considering there the best country in the world right now, US sucks ass

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

And this statement is based on what? Your undying love for japanese video games?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

No, the fact that the japense econemy is high, the school's are great to learn what I love, and and the love for video games is just a add-on to the wonderfull country, and who here disagress with me that the US sucks?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This has to be the most stupid statement I have ever seen.

If you read and study economy, you will know that Japan's economy is on the slump. The schooling system in Asia (and especially Japan) has to be the most torturing and punishing system in the world that will drive people going suicidal. Man, you just in it for the videogames, isn't it? Grow up!

I think many of the serious points made on 4ch are valid. From the little time I've spent studying the history and language, and I'm sure most of you know, Japan is in some ways very isolated, despite the rapid modernization and westernization it went though. I think that article is bit overblown. I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Economy high? The Japanese economy isn't doing so hot, it has some nice exports but they're going through a recession. You wouldn't survive a day in their schools.

 

I disagree with some of the US policies but the country in no means sucks.

Anyways, since 2001, the Japanese economy has been dropping, and it just keeps on doing so slowly. A great example is the wrestling community there, the big draws for the local crowd is barely 2400 people, they'd be happy if they just hit 1000. And no, "wrestling is crap" doesn't work here. Because it's just one of the many things that earns money in Japan, it has international fans, but the main draw is some stupid sheit called the WWE. Onto the school system, it's really is frightening. Parents will do anything for their children to get into a decent school. Children will go no length like their parents to achive the status. Teens sleeping with teachers and divorced mothers having sex with the same teachers just to get some grades up to move on.

I don't think it's meaningful to go into such occurrances Wiz. Japan definately has issues in regards to extreme societal pressures on its citizens. One could just as easily mention U.S. problems...or the manifestations of them. I think what one can say about Japan is that as a people they have alot going for them. Their population is highly educated, and their students are among some of the best educated in the world. In addition, the general infrastructure is very efficient. But at what cost is this all attained? This is a problem that they are facing and have been dealing with for quite some time. In addition to their rapidly aging workforce.

Rapdily aging?!? I used to work in Sony, and currently, most of their top management are 28 to 40. Which is consider young!

I really think discussing it's education model (it does bring up some points) is good, but it is totally another topic on it's own. Let's not get away from the issue at hand. The fact that citizians from other countries and forign country born japanese are treated with disrespect.

 

[wikipedia information] That's just the jist of it. Especially when someone who is born from Japanese parents but concived in another part of the world experience the very same disrespectful actions(at times) as a someone from America would recive if they entered a bar or one of those public spring places.

Old.

 

 

Every country has it's faults, that's given, but I'd still like to see places like Tokyo and the japanese countryside with my own eyes. Sure, my expectations of what these two might be like comes mostly from anime, but traveling broadens horizons anyway, so it doesn't matter so much.

 

Japanese schools are indeed grueling, so I wouldn't want to study there.

Indeed. It's typical experience for many Korean Japanese whose family have been in Japan for generations, to be discriminated against. As well as other individuals with mixed heritage. In particular, they have it the worst, since many of them want to go back to Korea, but face many hurdles being that they are not culturally Korean, speak little of the language. So they cannot assimilate back in. In Japan, their are schools which those of Korean descent attend...and we haven't even mentioned foreigners yet hhehehe...

 

Despite being a modern industrial country, many remnants of class stratifcation exist from past periods in Japan's history. Their views in general on foreigners are not expected to be as positive.

I've heard this attitude a lot, and my only explanation for it is that the grass is always greener on the other side. Most americans don't know a hell of a lot about Japan, except for ninjas and bushido and video games, so it's easy to idealize it as some exotic wonderland where everything is cool.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I know about that, and I think it looks cool too. But I meant like..the stuff about their economy and recessions and shiit like that

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The conversation has moved on, but just to clear things up - I meant about what Drake said.

 

People tend to think that Japan (or other countries for that matter) are amazing when they are really just longing for their own ideal version.

 

Basically, I was agreeing with you, Weird, but going into detail.

[Bluestinger X]

i really dont think much has changed.. they have always kinda had it like that over there. Personly i think some things about japan are pretty cool.. such as anime , games and horror flicks.. but personaly id never wana live there. Theres much nicer places in asia... and alot more nicer people as well ( thailand for example which i may be going to next year). My personal view is just leave them alone.. if they wana be stuck up then oh well. Just make sure they keep it on there tiny island and not anywhere else.

 

U cant handle but remeber japanese history.. they were after everyone at one time. they still believe someday they will take over chine.. which i find unlikely lol.

sorry about that

 

I didn't get any sleep last night cause...idk why

[Ryuken]

here's what i think, school in Japan is hard and most people go crazy or just don't do anythin(same for most countries in asia), school in the US is easy, and people don't do anything anyway. that explain y mosy average asain are smarter than Americans but the way Americans teach make really smart people but not a lot.

 

so moving from the US to Japan would not e kool if ur still in school and if u don't have a lot of money, i say this because they have almost everything that's consider kool in there and if u can't get them then u'll be one of those unkool loser in school, but since ur from the US, they might think ur kool since they like US. ( how they keep drawing anime char. white)
