1. Rising Sun & Its Current Scenario (after WWII)

● 15th August, 1945: Japan surrendered● 1945-1952 (occupied by US):

several reforms (including land reform which helped small farmers to be independent)

● -1970s: period for highly development

①Investment and improvement in technology

②Enough quality & quantity of labourers

③High consumption on TV, washing machine & fridge (1960s)

1. (cont) Rising Sun & Current Scenario● (cont)-1970s

*negative effect of development

①pollution which caused several diseases(e.g. asthma)

②workaholic● 1985-1991: the period of 'Bubble' flourishment (Too

much investment on land and stock market--The prieces extraordinarily went up--One day everything collapsed and the prices dropped)

● 1991-now: in long stagnation

*2004 Neo-liberalism was introduced in labour law

(which allowed companies to hire more temporary workers)

*2011 Earthquake & Tsunami (Northeast religion)

(The picture of tsunami, 2011)

1. (Cont) Current Scenario● World's no.1 aging society

24.1% of Japanese population is above age 65 yrs (2012)● Increasing income gap b/w the rich and the poor (due

to neo-liberalism policies)● Unchanging politics

long-lasting rule by conservative party,

less interest among young people● Changing the idea of 'Family' (Too much individualism)

increasing no of nuclear family & one-person household● 'Otaku culture' (among young people)

comics, animations & video games

2. Nuclear power..

2. What about nuclear power..?

The number of working nuclear plants in Japan dramatically reduced after the earthquake and tsunami (Only 2 plants working out of 50 in 2012). As of now in May 2014, no nuclear plant is working in Japan.

2. (Cont) Points over Nuclear power● Fear among majority people ● Gap b/w government & people● Reality at present

[Can we survive without nuclear power now?]

-Safety is the priority to use nuclear power

-Necessity of nuclear power for the time being (Because thermal power is costly and it also contributes to global warming)

-Shift to Renewable resource energy (However, it takes time to be used as alternative)

3.Shaadi...(Japanese marriage)

3. Japani Shaadi -How we marry-

● My grandparents generation (around age 80-90s) : arranged

● My parents generation (around 50-60s): half-arranged, half-love

● My generation (around 30s): loveHowever, these days it's difficult to find partners among young people...

3. (cont) Japani Shaadi -diversity-● Marriage function -basically not religious

①promising marriage to 'PEOPLE' those who attend

②promising to Shinto Gods● Divorce -happens occasionally

year 2011: 23lakh of couple

(1.87person/ 1,000persons)● Unmarried mother -difficult, but possible

year 2010: 1.3lakh (of unmarried mother)
