The theory of uniqueness of the Japanese. It?s one of my subjects at uni. Some of the topics in the class are:
? Lack of Individuality
? The Difficulty of Moving to a Different Country
? How Japanese Economical Growth is Seen Overseas
? How Japanese Like to be Criticized
? Japanese Educational System
? Japanese Society Structure
I found that what I?m learning about is quite similar to things said on Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex.
Then I thought that I would like to hear what you think of the Japanese. Whether it?s what you think, what you heard from someone, read somewhere, or seen it on TV, I would like to know.
You could also write where you got it from.
I will also like to write about what I?m learning, so that you could write about that too. It would be my own translations from the Japanese texts, so if you would like to see the original Japanese as well, please tell me.
So, where did I get the idea for this thread? Well, we read so many Japanese comic books, watch a lot of Japanese anime, but how much do we really know about the people who makes them?
I?m not sure whether this thread is interesting for everyone? But anyway, here it is. :catgirl:
