JAPAN, GENDER, NATIONALITY AND AGE
For many mindless otakus, country like Japan seems heaven. Why? Because they think that the animation cartoon 『Anime』 they call , is taken from the real life of Japan.
Thinking Japan will be a country same as Anime is like thinking, America has Comic superheroes walking in day light and India has God going out and blessing people and Korea has that dramatic life.
In real life, it is just the opposite, if we look at America, where superheroes come and save people, it has one of the highest rates of crime in world.
India still has some of the poor places in the world. And Korea, and Japan are the countries which exist as the worst place to live according to happiness index.
No one wants to understand the fact that what is seen is not always true.
It’s because in real life there is necessity of something that people, want it to be true, so use their imagination and make their reel life, be it superheroes, drama or anime.
Do you know firearms are the main reason for most death in America?
If superheroes existed, wouldn’t they be saved?
Do you know Korea and Japan have one of the highest suicide rates in world?
If life was same as drama or anime, wouldn’t people be happy, why need to die by sadness, when you are filled by love?
Do you know how many people in India die of poverty?
If God did really walk in India, would he let people die.
I am sick of current generation of people, who live in fantasy without thinking.
I will want to talk about this topic in further, but today let’s talk about JAPAN.
Japan is a traditional and island country 『島国』, they call themselves.
They are a really conservative people, who try to be themselves as much as possible. Discrimination is everywhere, you go to USA you hear people doing discrimination according to race, color, country.
In Japan its different. Their thought process is 『It’s my way or the highway』and once you go to Japan you will understand, its like “It’s us and that’s them”. They don’t care if you are American, African, European, Indian. You are outsider to them and you will always be.
No matter how long you stay there, you will always be a foreigner.
Like any country is different in Japan than other country. Why is it so let’s leave it some speculations and enter the dark side of Japan
1. Gender role
Japan is one of the developed nations in the world, but it still has that man and female discrimination.
There is a saying I have heard when I was in Japan 『women can work but only men can have careers』.
The night life of Japan is legendary. Here the women act as a commodity and men also become commodity themselves. Japan is a place of Status and Money, and people are going to do lot of things to achieve that status and enjoy the power that comes with it.
Maybe the Japanese treat this as a normal thing as it has happened since long time, but as long as people see women as a commodity rather than a human, the change is a lot difficult.
2. Nationality
Japan is a traditional and island country 『島国』, they call themselves.
They are a really conservative people, who try to be themselves as much as possible. Discrimination is everywhere, you go to USA you hear people doing discrimination according to race, color, country.
In Japan its different. Their thought process is 『It’s my way or the highway』and once you go to Japan you will understand, it’s like “it’s us and that’s them”. They don’t care if you are American, African, European, Indian. You are outsider to them and you will always be.
No matter how long you stay there, you will always be a foreigner. But based on country the way they treat you may change like rank.
As a foreigner you are allowed to stay and work, but working as a full-fledged salary man in Japan is really difficult, and promotion is like once in a blue moon moment, which you never see.
Its normal for a Japanese man to earn 4–5 times more than the foreigner even if they enter the company at same time. (Japan has a system of long-term employment, and your salary increase with age than ability, although it is changing.)
3. Age
Japan has this senior junior (senpai kowhai) relationship. And a junior is always supposed to respect and do everything their senior ask them to. And they never say no. Because of this thinking, only the same age people tend to be good friends. Even if your age is different by one year, the probability of you being friends with them is really slim to none.
Unlike other countries where if your thinking matches, energy matches people don’t seem to care about age, it’s not so in Japan.
These are the dark side of Japan and if you are planning to come to Japan because you want to live a life like in anime, think through properly.
Try to have a critical thinking mindset.
Don’t be fooled, and most of all don’t be a fool.
