1.[1]Japan's post-World War II value system of diligence, cooperation, and hard work is changing. Recent surveys show that Japanese youth have become a "Me Generation" that rejects traditional values.< /p>

[2] "Around 1980 many Japanese, especially young people, abandoned the values ??of economic success and began searching for new sets of values ??to bring them happiness," writes sociologist Yasuhiro Yoshizaki in Comparative Civilizations Review. Japanese youth are placing more importance on the individual's pursuit of happiness and less on the values ??of work, family, and society.

[3] Japanese students seem to be losing patience with work, unlike their counterparts in the United States and Korea. In a 1993 survey of college students in the three countries, only 10% of the Japanese regarded work as a primary value, compared with 47% of their Korean counterparts and 27% of American students. A greater proportion of Japanese aged 18 to 24 also preferred easy jobs without heavy responsibility.

[4] Concern for family values ??is waning among younger Japanese as they pursue an inner world of private satisfaction. Data collected by the Japanese government in 1993 shows that only 2304 of Japanese youth are thinking about supporting their aged parents, in contrast to 63% of young Americans. It appears that many younger-generation Japanese are losing both respect for their parents and a sense of responsibility to the family. Author Yoshizaki attributes the change to Japanese parents' over-indulgence of their children, material affluence, and growing concern for private matters.

[5] The shift toward individualism among Japanese is most pronounced among the very young. According to 1991 data from the Seimei Hoken Bunka Center of Japan, 50% of Japanese youth aged 16 to 19 can be labeled "self-centered", compared with 33% among those aged 25 to 29 To earn the self-centered label, the young people responded positively to such ideas as "I would like to make decisions without considering traditional values" and "I don't want to do anything I can't enjoy doing".

[6] Diminishing social responsibility, according to Yoshizaki , is tied to the growing interest in pleasure and personal satisfaction. A study comparing society-conscious youth from 1977 to 1990 found that the Japanese had slipped far behind American and Australian students. Only 11 % of Japanese aged 18 to 24 said they get personal satisfaction in doing something on behalf of society, according to 1993 data from the Japanese government, while four limes as many Americans said 50.

[7] Yoshizaki concludes that the entire value system of Japanese youth is undergoing major transformation, but the younger generation has not yet found a new organized value system to replace the old.

[1] Japan’s value system of diligence, cooperation and hard work formed after World War II is changing. Recent surveys show that Japanese youth have become the "Me Generation" that rejects traditional values.

[2] "Around 1980, many Japanese, especially young people, abandoned the value benchmark of economic success and began to look for new value principles that could bring them happiness." Society Scholar Yasuhiro Yoshizaki wrote this in his book "Comparative Review of Civilizations". Japanese youth are now paying more and more attention to the pursuit of personal happiness and paying less and less attention to the value benchmarks of work, family and society.

[3] Japanese students seem to be losing patience with work, but this is not the case for American and Korean students. In a 1993 survey of college students in the three countries, only 10% of Japanese believed that work was a major manifestation of value, compared with 47% of Koreans and 27% of Americans. Most Japanese between the ages of 18 and 24 also prefer relaxed jobs that do not require heavy responsibilities.

[4] Among Japanese young people, the concern for family value standards is gradually declining, and they are replaced by the pursuit of personal inner world satisfaction. Data collected by the Japanese government in 1993 showed that only 23% of Japanese youth thought about supporting their aging parents, in sharp contrast to 63% of American youth. This shows that many younger generations of Japanese are losing their respect for their parents and their sense of responsibility for their families. Author Yoshizaki Yasuhiro attributes this change to parents' pampering of their children, material wealth, and increased attention to personal matters.

[5] The Japanese shift toward individualism is most significant among teenagers. According to 1991 data from the Japan Life Insurance Cultural Center, 50% of Japanese youth aged 16 to 19 could be classified as "self-centered", compared with only 33% of youth aged 25 to 29. %. Being positive about thoughts such as "I have no intention of taking traditional values ??into account when making decisions" and "I don't want to do anything I can't enjoy doing" earns young people the label of being self-centered.

[6] Yoshizaki Yasuhiro believes that the weakening of social responsibility is closely related to the growth of interest in personal satisfaction and enjoyment. A study comparing socially conscious youth from 1977 to 1990 found that the Japanese lagged far behind American and Australian students. Only 11 percent of Japanese ages 18 to 24 say they get personal satisfaction from doing things for society, according to 1993 Japanese government data, compared with four times as many Americans as Japanese.

[7] Yoshizaki Yasuhiro concluded: The entire value system of Japanese youth is undergoing major changes, but the younger generation has not yet found a new organized value system to replace the old one.

2. A strong earthquake attacked Japan at 1:46pm. I was shocked when I heard about the bad news. Why there were so many disasters in the world?

I looked up some files about the top fourteen worst earthquakes in the past one hundred years from internet. And some earthquakes even came with tsunamis. It was said that 300 thousands of people died in 2004 as a result of the earthquake and tsunami happened in Indonesia. And 242 Thousands of citizens died in Tangshan Earthquake in 1976 in China. Also in 2008, another big earthquake happened in China, and more than 7 thousands passed away.

How awful it is when we talk about these figures.< /p>

Everyone should cherish what we have now.

I felt scary when I watched 2012.

But the disasters happened are more fearful.

Dalian is not far away from Japan, my colleague told me that she would be too panic to go to bed tonight. It is funny.

I did not worry about that. No one can expect what will happen in the next minute. Just enjoy every minute in our life.

It is enough~
