Topic: this is how japanese society is like (Read 1485 times)

This is some sort of motivation for a starting age, a child but somehow is there a question that somehow ask this child if he really like what he is doing. They dont have free will to do things they want. They are obliged to do so or as follows. This will encourage discipline in every sides which also shows the picture of falling in line..

"The last celebrated case of seppuku was in 1970, when Yukio Mishima, a famous writer known for his psychologically violent novels, killed himself in samurai style after he failed to take over a command post to protest Japan's military policies."

I don't believe they are worst of US anyway. That are fascinated with technology and
life changing for them but their culture is still strong.

It's finally happened. After years, if not decades, of warnings about Japan's aging population and its low birth rate, the day is here. Japan's official census shows that the country's population has shrunk.

And not by an inconsiderable amount either: The 2010 census showed a population of 128,057,352, but the 2015 figure, released Friday, shows just 127,110,000.

Japan's population had shrunk by almost 1 million people in five years.

While data on birth and death rates has long given clear evidence that Japan's population was on the decline, this is the first time since records began that the census has confirmed the nation's population has actually dropped (the blip between 1940 and 1950 in the chart is largely due to the fact that many Japanese soldiers were stationed abroad and Okinawa island, then controlled by the United States, was not included in the census)...

...Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has said that keeping the population of Japan above 100 million is a priority. However, actually doing that may be difficult. Last year, the Population Division of the U.N. Department of Economic and Social Affairs released a population estimate for Japan that showed the country would dip below 100 million shortly after the middle of the 21st century. By the end of the century, Japan stood to lose 34 percent of its population, the United Nations found.

They never had shortages on volunteers. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamikaze#Recruitment) Actually they usually had minimum twice as many applicants than planes. Different mindset as I said. In eastern societies the given society is more important than an individual.

Honest people respecting human dignity?
You never went to Japon obviously...
You know what's in anime isn't true? And that last seppuku was in 1868 dude...
It's like talking about the musketeers saying French people always fight for the good side xD

A Japanese form of ritual suicide, the term "seppuku". It is also known as harakiri.
Yes they are honest people, who respect human dignity more than everything else!

or this 

of course japan is not a perfekt land, but  i would rather live with that

than this

Well it could be said that a lot of Japanese people are rejecting the pressure now. Unfortunately they're doing it in even more bizarre ways such as the hikokomori.

...and socialists as well . They also like ant-people who are not asking too many questions just keep doing their "duty". Japs are a very different culture. Trying to apply western schemes to them is misleading.

If you relax Japanese society you get... A European society :/

Which is what Capitalists would probably dream of.
