Big Picture

All my research of the issue of westernization in Japan has told me that it is over all a good thing. Japan needs this to become more un isolated from the rest of the modern countries. The old culture is primative to the way of living. We know now that if you want to make money in this world it's defenatly not in subsistance farming, it's in big sales and businese. We need more global financialy powerful countries in this world. We need new ideas and smarter minds to keep up with the rest of the issues on this problem filled world.

Future

The only thing that is being done is the elderly are trying to pass the ancient Japanese culture to their children and their childrens children. Other than that life is just moving along at a speeding pace. The region is going to become more and more technologicaly advanced. Already new and spectacular inventions are coming from Japan that are a great impact on the way we live. Westerization is greatly and positivley affecting Japan.http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Japan/IA11Dh02.html

Impact

The impact of westerization in Japan isn't very problematic, it is only affecting the srtucture of the family and the ancient culture of Japan. It sounds worse than it seems. If you take how we are in America it doesnt seem to be that big of a issue. If it helps with their economy and the the overal lifestyle it's a good step in the right direction. Although it will be good for the economy we have to take into the consideration the over all well being of the environment. The island has little forests left and if more cities come about soon the ecosystem will be destroyed. Nature reserves should be put into affect.
-The structure of the family will be affected. The big family all living in one house will no longer be in affect because of the divorce rate. Ancient Japanese culture will be lost.
-The economy will countinue to rise and better the lifstyle of the Japanese people. It will be easier to live and have a more healthy life.
-The enviroment has been greatly affected. All of the ecosystems have been cut to the ground and the farmland is being taken over for busineses.

Development

Ever since the introduction of western civilization in Japan hundreds of years ago it has been a steady incline and basis of the youth culture. The children quickly catch on to the american way but it is soon stomped out by the parents and the original Japanese culture is brought back to house hold. Except recently, the divorce rate has caused the family's to split up and the western culture found its open door to creep back in. It's been the hit of all the young people.
-Japans history becan thirty thousand years ago when humans were become more civilized creatures. These primative humans died and left tools and pots for archeologist to uncover.
-Dec 7th, 1941 the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and entered themselves into the Secong World War. The western culture was very much hated in that time periode when Japan was trying to take over the world.
-1980 Japan became very important Global finacial power. Creating new busineses and millions of jobs to keep up with the growing populaton and to make their products better for the worlds market.
