The New Japan: Debunking Seven Cultural Stereotypes Summary
| The New Japan by David Matsumoto sets out to describe the anxiety and unrest that plague current Japanese society, the rift between the older, more traditional generations and the younger, more cosmopolitan and Westernized generations. The author draws upon a wealth pf Japanese and Western sources to compile a thorough exploration of both classics and contemporary views of Japanese culture. Citing academic studies and surveys, Matsumoto debunks seven common stereotypes of Japanese culture: collectivism, consciousness of others, perceptions of self, emotionality, the "salaryman," education and lifetime employment, and marriage. Matsumoto also explores the reasons behind tumultuous upheavals, the meaning of the shifting cultural patterns in the workplace, education, sports, and everyday life. |
