From the Paper:

"The overall structure of Japanese media shows how cultural the country is. Not only does it still have respect to the old monarchial establishment. It is revealed that Japan has large agricultural lands on its small Island. Instead of the supposed large metropolis and skyscrapers that Americans perceive Japan to be covered with, the country also contains vast acres of farmland. The cultural aspects of Japan is also important, as the news covers major events that happen within the Japanese religious establishment. It soon becomes clear that the Japanese are not wholeheartedly devoted to technology, but rather like Americans, focus their lives on much more important things."
