In class today we read about how Japan has tackled the clash between their own and western culture.
When the Japanese surrendered after WW2 many westerners came to Japan and were shocked by what they saw. They thought of the Japanese culture as childlike and immature. But instead of folding to the western culture, the Japanese went on the offensive.
Today the phenomenon of "Manga" and "Anime" are taking over our animated culture. Disney Channel now broadcasts shows like "American Dragon" in "Anime-style". Pokemon and Digimon might not be as popular now as they were, but Japanese culture has definitely left it's mark on Western Culture.
Short but to the point post about Japan and more precisely Manga and Aimee. I suspect you already new about this before your started this task? Perhaps you could have shared with us your reflections on how to learn this material?
