Woman and Japanese culture
To dive into different cultures and to have the capacity to understand those strangers’ values, norms and customs that identify them is in fact complicated, but nowadays we are living with globalization, a way to connect lifestyles around the world.
War is a symbol of death and misery, although if one thoroughly studies all the processes and changes that this originates, we realize that exist some consequences of the war which have allowed countries to advance. Example of this finds in Spain, where the Spanish civil war was one of the decisive events with which was forged that today Spain is a democratic country. Nevertheless, many people gave their lives from 1936 to 1939. Another example is the successful campaign to get freedom for South America that was managed by Simon Bolivar and followers. Although their dream was not completed totally, they reach half goal. Nowadays fifth countries are independent and do not continue subdued by the Europeans.
In Asia directly in Japan a series of conflicts as much social as economic and political with different ends have opened the way to an evolution of women’s behavior, in an interval of time that begins with the United States entrance into the territory in 1858 and up to now with the globalization process which has remarked a constant change. Then countries should adapt to be able to belong and be competitive in a market.
Analyzing the history of what has been list that the woman has carried out in Japan, finds an important period in which remarkable changes have been given due to external factors USA, being them implied in the "obligatory" turn of women’s behavior. Supposedly this twirl means a change in the machismo ethic that has been imposed in that culture from most all the time but this is a wrong concept showed by this country. As Nippon Konchuki affirm in his text, al least today the women does not have to walk behind his husband taking care to step on his shadow. It is the unique perceptible change in a society where still today is dived in the machismo.
According to USA entrance women’s behavior is divided in two periods, before USA entrance and after this. In the first finds the made that women is low a kind of masculine commanding which she is viewed like the simple housewife that looks after the well-being of the family and has the duty of raising good citizens.
The other stage is after the “westernization” process that Japan received from USA. The entrance of Americans bore to the transformation of the women’s stereotype. Since then on women have understood that they have the same rights as men and they are not less than them. Today we can find several examples that reaffirm this change. In Japan there are women who worry about being developed professionally, because they demand bigger freedom. That is between rich people and those who can study and be professional, but what really happens with poor people? The immediately answer is that women who do not have a way to study lay out to be submitted to the machista culture.
According to the text Two Méxicos, one experience in Japan, it is a country developed in the one that 97% of the students from high school continue its studies, and so in its population only 4.7% are unemployed. We can affirm that women have been developed in an atmosphere that has allowed them to change the stereotype and also with her form of behaving has impelled to the development of its country no matter if they were governing or let themselves be governed. Japan owes USA being industrialized but not for this reason they as a country have not stayed. On the contrary, men and women have known how to be unwrapped and although the machismo still reign in a part of this society has been able to advance.
From the perspective of a Latin American that has not had any contact with that culture it is difficult to make a statement being been worth so alone of the point of view of another person. It is included the possibility.
In the world there is diversity of cultures, for more difficult than it is to penetrate in some it is necessary to attempt it, just in that way we will know if we made it well or not. But it is necessary to pay attention and investigate everything related to the objective culture. Then the interested in will be sure not to make mistakes or the smallest quantity possible.
