Japanese People -.-





The world Are compose for many differents tribes of people. Which tribe have their own languange, their own aspect, their own culture, their own belives, their own laws and rules, their own life style. To diferenciete them from which other we nominated them in many diffrents ways, for example, by their looking, by their realigion or their continenties...

We can find every kind of people, from everywhere in the world, all the relligion, all nations and all these in a small group of islands called Japan. But the natives from these island are called japanese, but Japanese people have their own characters, their own languange, their own relligion, their own life style, their own culture, that many other nations copied from Japan. Life in Japan can be really easy if you follow all the rules. People here will be always helping you, always being really respectfull and polite, and really kind if you are mutual, otherwise it would be a really hard time, everyone here think highly for the well being of their population and envioriment, the preserve for their future, what in many others countries these facts do not happen.

Western model vs Old fashion lifestyle
Traditions trying to fit the western lifestyle
Non equal roles
Although the japanese people try hard to hold onto their culture, the young generation are beginning to deviate to a more western culture. You can see this with the popularity of McDonalds, and Japanese versions of western music. Clothing is also another good example, and this extends to all generations not just young. Japanese people have been wearing the western style of clothing for centuries, but you can still see Japanese people dressed in traditional kimono.
The family structure in Japan is also changing. Traditionally the Mother was very dominated, and did what the Father wanted. And there were no job opportunities for females. It is starting to change now so that females are becoming more equal to men. Though they have a long way to go.

  1. Lots of interesting ideas in this post, but kind of scattered. It is near impossible to generalize about all Japanese people, as I said in class. You would do well to focus on one specific case study, research it and present it along with your photos and helpful links.
