GLOBALIZATION

“This process of internationalization has proceeded at the expense of a loss of Japanese culture and identity among young people. Japan can be said to be witnessing the marginalization of Japanese culture in the name of globalization”

Globalization has benefits and advantages but also there are too much other disadvantages:

•      Globalization is equated with North Americanization.
•      It is almost impossible to live in Japan without knowing English.
•      Adoption of European imperialism resulted in total devastation of both the country and many traditional values.
•      Following World War II, Japanese culture has been jeopardized very seriously by the Western culture.
•      Languages were the major obstacles, but English has become an international language both in the real world and the world of virtual reality.
