This essay is on the differences between the United States and Japanese culture. We are not only separated by geography but by our attitudes and social culture. I will be explaining the main differences between our economies, crime, and education systems.
First let's delve a little into the economy. The traditional image of Asian countries is that they are relatively poor societies. Today Asian countries are building a huge middle class. Japan is a model among them. When it became a rich country it spread its wealth evenly throughout the country's population and that thinned the gap between poor and rich. Because Japan distributes the wealth equally the people have a sense of fairness and that adds to the stability and civility of their society.
