Informative Speech About Japan

Great Essays
In recent years since I’ve been learning about Japan and the Japanese culture in general, I’ve come to learn that a good amount of people seems to think Japan is some unsafe place where serial rapes, train-molestation, and kidnapping happen frequently. Where the Yakuza runs rampant and that it is just a big country of debauchery. Usually after people claim to be an expert on the crime rate and what crimes actually happen in other countries, it usually comes with steaking the claim that America is the best country, or Europe is one of the best places to live, and apparently due to unpopular belief; these things are just not true what so ever. With strict drug and gun laws, violent crimes are at the lowest they are for most other countries. With dozens of safety precautions to protect children and everyday people from being kidnapped or assaulted, it because much safer for average people as well, and shows that the Japanese government actually cares about its people, and not just about having a low incarceration rate. Among with bigger, more sensitive crimes like robbery, assault, and theft, Japan is one of the World’s leaders in keeping our environment as clean as it possibly can, with having many rules and regulations everyone must follow when it comes to disposing of their trash. …show more content…
Won’t you be afraid of the Yakuza? How will you protect your loved ones from getting molested on a train?” Well, I am glad this is the perception people have of Japan and the Japanese people as a whole but this is just ignorance and spending too much time watching dirty cartoons.

    In the introduction of the book Staged Seduction: Selling Dreams in a Tokyo Host Club, Akiko Takeyama discusses the socioeconomic factors that contributed to the creation of neoliberal society, which created women who are willing to spend money on hosts and men who are willing to provide those women hosting services, which developed hosting industry in Tokyo. To discuss the rise of the industry, it is crucial to understand the role neoliberalism plays in the post industry society. In the 1980s, the governmental policies on economic and labor systems emphasized individual freedom of choice, and this neoliberal ideal urged young men, including hosts to seek individual success by working as hosts (Takeyama 7). At the same time, more and more young women were able to obtain a disposable income because of new service industries that allowed them to join the flexible labor; and with the help of economic prosperity brought by the bubble economy, those women shaped an affluent consumer culture, which led them to spend money on hosts (Takeyama 7).…

When Germany blatantly ignored their requests, war was declared on August 23rd.…

Generations of Latino immigrants have filled the lands of Downey over the years and now the way the Latino community has grown as a whole is something truly extraordinary.…

    Travis Hirschi’s Control Theory states that deviance occurs when a person has no control over their environment; they stray from norms and commit crimes. Travis Hirschi also believe that humans want to belong and that criminals are made when one’s bond to society is abated. Using Hirschi’s Control Theory, crime rate is low in Japan due to conformity being crucial, the publics’ view of prison, and the punishments in prison being harsh. Juvenile delinquency rates are also low; a factor contributing to low juvenile delinquency rates is socialization. Although socialization continues throughout ones entire life, it happens more heavily in younger years.…

    Another issue of Japanese education, especially when compared to western countries, would lie in the effects of Japan’s homogenous characteristic of its citizens. While this unique national trait helps bring the country and its inhabitants together as a whole, in schools this tends to take away from individuality, especially when it comes to students that were born differently from the standard Japanese. In an article in The Japan Times, the most popular English-language newspaper in Japan, O’donoghue (2015) says that although differential treatment is not incited in Japan, “by emphasizing sameness they [the teachers] could be instilling conformity and intolerance of difference.” Each student’s uniqueness seems to be taken away due to this…
