My First Career Aspiration At Age Six Of Being An Avid Traveler

How they are keeping up with the economy, technologies, sports, after WWII. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg because as a sociology student and future Ambassador I want to understand their mindset and what make them different from other countries. Their ability to grow exponentially and what is the cause? Personally, I’m also interested in some part of the country, especially northern japan because on the news, media. Most of what I heard are from the mainland, Kyoto and Tokyo, but Japan is way more than just Kyoto and

Before an American naval commander “opened” Japan, the country was extremely isolated. Interaction with other nations was limited. Trade was discouraged in society due to Neo-Confucian

Moreover, we are all deemed to live in a fast-pace and constantly advancing world, which bring the idea of global study to the front of spotlight. On my path of exploring Japan and Rome through studying Japanese

Feiler’s trip to Japan came from the invitation of the Japanese Ministry of Education. The purpose of his trip was to “teach English language and American culture in Japanese schools as part of a program to bring native English speakers into the heart of Japan.” At the time of his trip in 1990, Japan was emerging as a global-economic powerhouse; from the automotive industries to technology industries. Japan dominated the global markets with their products. Japan may have dominated global markets; however, its

In addition, I worked in legal administration where I would assist the Japanese Government, military police, and the Judge Advocate General’s Corps in information gathering for the use of senior officers and courts martial. This position offered a unique perspective on international law as I had to examine the Japan Status of Forces Agreement in conjunction with the Uniform Code of Military Justice to accurately establish legality. My work demanded a high level of analysis and cooperation with personnel of various cultural and social backgrounds. Eventually, I was appointed to be the liaison between the United States State Department and United States Forces Japan. I would assist the Consul General in various investigations for the purpose of naturalization.

In 1543, three Portuguese travelers aboard a Chinese ship accidentally drifted ashore on Tanegashima, a Japanese Island. Within a few short years, a myriad of Portuguese merchants, missionaries, and settlers began to arrive in the country and ushered in almost a century of Portuguese imperial presence in Japan. This time period was a unique era in the history of European imperialism, and it is important to evaluate it from multiple points of view. This comparison is easily done with records such as, Captain Alexander Hamilton’s A New Account of the East Indies: Descriptions of Japan and Engelbert Kaempfer’s History of Japan. These two works are both first-hand accounts of the European interactions with the Japanese people. Indeed, these two

Japans history dates back almost 53,000 years and is filled with interesting and fascinating events. Most of Japans actions have left the major world powers in the world stunned. The base of this amazing country is astonishing just by itself. The base is a bunch of active and large under water volcanoes. Japans uniqueness from the rest of the world ranges from its culture to its very interesting history to the change in government every few hundred years and their trading dilemma with petroleum and their assortment of fish that they export. Japan as a country is so very appealing and kind compared to the rest of the world its no wonder that it’s geographically separate from the rest of the world.

    Japan is a country of many cultures. Japan’s most renowned is the art of the samurai and currently, urbanization. Due to the American occupation in the pacific, Japanese moved from a cultural masterpiece, to an eastern constitutional monarchy. Which is generally effected by a western influence.

Growing up as a child, my parents gave me the gifts of a globe, an encyclopedia, and an atlas. I would constantly learn about and imagine new experiences, cultures, and places vastly different and similar to what I had known in Canada and my parents’ stories of living in Argentina and Peru. To this day, I can say that much of my interest in Japan comes from my love and academic studies on geography and urban society. I am interested in learning, building, and supporting Japanese culture through English instruction and cultural exchange at the local community level. I aim to positively interact with others, understand their perspectives, and develop the knowledges and skills needed for my further participation in both Canadian and Japanese

In this modern era the gulf between modernized nations and nations who are not grows constantly, and if a country hopes to bridge the growing gap they must advance quickly. As with any other growth, growing pains are routine. Among others is the pain of the existence of generations whose world is changed completely over the course of a lifetime. In few places is this effect starker than in Japan’s modern history, a country whose traditional ideals had to find a way to adapt modern westernized ideals to a historically traditional nation in a small amount of time. This era, the Meiji Restoration, put Japan through their growing pains and pushed the country to compete on the global level. Natsume Soseki offers a character whose relationships in the novel “Kokoro” are analogous to the progression and end of this Meiji era and how it effected the individual and their perceptions of change.

As an avid reader, I discovered manga while in secondary school; I was immediately hooked and actively sought out other forms of Japanese popular media. As I delved further into the culture behind the content, the cuisine, and the history of East Asia I developed a more academic interest and began to investigate means of incorporating my love of Japan into my long-term life plan.

LINKS BETWEEN EARLY JAPANESE PILGRIMAGE AND MODERN JAPANESE TRAVEL BEHAVIOUR, New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies 10, 2 (December 2008): 93-110.

in a mere half-century Japan had gone from a backward country being virtually dismissed by the West as an obscure and rather backward to being recognized as a major world power. It was arguably the most remarkable achievement of any nation in world history. (Henshall, 1999, P102)

My initial view of Japan was far different from what I had thought it was going to be. Although the city in itself was beautiful, it was completely different from was I was used to back in New York. I was used to my big house and open yard, but now I was living in a house one-third of the size and only the local playground as my backyard. The people were different and we quickly had to learn the customs like eating with chopsticks and respectively bowing as a sign of thanks.

According to the Japanese Ministry of Justice and Japan Tourism Agency, the amount of Japanese humans that traveled overseas in 2015 has increased more than four times the amount in 1980. Furthermore, according to Value create (a company in Japan) almost 70% of the people living in Japan has gone over seas. As you can identify from these researches it is becoming easier to travel to other countries and see different cultures. There are many options for travelling in the world as each culture has a beneficial aspect. Countries in the Americas are especially popular as they have had a strong relationship with Japan since the World War 2.
