Abstract
This paper discusses the perceptions of modern day China, Japan and Korea. The paper essentially argues that the misconceived notions that China, Japan and Korea are not modern countries is related to the fact that they were isolationist towards the west and because they did not follow the European modernization concept.
From the Paper
"The relationship between China, Korea and Japan with the West is both complicated and filled with misconceptions. The largest misconception about China, Korea and Japan in the West is that these countries have followed isolationist foreign policies. For example, in "China Attempts to Soften Its One-Child Policy" Jessica Bernman suggests that China had isolated itself from the rest of the world and is just now beginning to open its borders (Bernman 567). Japan has also been thought of as a country that had isolated itself from the world for centuries (Toby 6)."

Abstract
This paper reviews how China, Japan and Korea are often referred to as 'leaders' in the world economy. The paper discusses how each country reflects a different kind of modernization and, mainly in the post-World War II period, an accelerated development success story, just as each country indicates its own kind of economic and political achievement. This paper argues that this view of the three powers in question is most problematic, especially in view of their respective defects.

From the Paper
"Every language has its own way of solving certain social issues that arise whenever people come together in a social setting, and the people of Japan and Korea can serve as examples of how different languages address these concerns. The use of honorifics is a social convention that can have a number of purposes ranging from identifying family relationships and marital status to showing that the speaker is adhering to the conventions of polite society. The system a society develops for handling honorifics says much about the society, the relationships valued by that society, and the expectations placed by that society on individual members. Many of the subtleties differentiating various Asian societies are lost on the Western observer, but there are very real linguistic and social distinctions to be noted between the languages of Japan and Korea ...

From the Paper
"Tourism is an industry that many countries seek to encourage because of the large amount of foreign exchange it develops without requiring large amounts of natural resources or direct government expenditures. In developing countries, tourism can serve to introduce foreign visitors to the country and may result in increased business activity down the line. In addition to foreign tourism, various locations within countries seek to promote their own areas as sites for domestic travel, again to attract the traveler's money. Tourism encourages a wide variety of businesses, such as hotels, tour operators and restaurants, and helps supports ancillary businesses, such as retail sales and local industry. This research examines the various social, cultural and environmental factors that influence tourism in ... "

Abstract
One of the most dramatic changes that took place in Asia after WWII was that several countries that had been colonized or semi-colonized emerged as independent, self-governing states, freed from colonial rule. This paper discusses the arguments for and against the statement: Japan and Korea faced a favorable, international environment in the post-war period, through close alliances with the United States during the Cold War.
From the Paper
"Once this happened, Japan started to improve its relations in the realm of international politics. In the 1950s and 1960s, Japan?s policy in Southeast Asia revolved around economic diplomacy, where relations were low-key and focused more on economics than politics. From the late 1970s, however, with the Americans withdrawing from Vietnam, the Japanese stepped into the limelight. In the wake of the Cold War, Japan was brought into a kind of strategic balance of power between China and the United States. It was only after this period that Japan actually gained a strategic advantage in international politics."

From the Paper
" Society and Religion in Non-Western Societies
Reconciling the societal differences between the Western world and Asia--particularly with respect to China, Korea, and Japan--may never be a possibility. The divide is not so simple as the distinctions between mere Christianity, Confucianism, or communism, nor is it reducible to simple philosophical terms such as capitalism, liberalism, or Marxism. Indeed, the inherent dissimilarities between Eastern and Western cultures are as likely the result of the forced separation due to geography and the consequence of limited contact over the millennia.
As Rozman insists, the failure of social science to investigate national heritage as the fulcrum of societal.."

Abstract
The paper explores how China and South Korea appear to be diametrically opposed; China is authoritarian while South Korea is democratic. The paper discusses the modernizationist approach and shows how China is basically an authoritarian state while South Korea is democratic. The paper shows, however, how there are various aspects of these states that indicate neither one fits into a simple category, but instead both have moved at times in the opposite direction. The paper also shows how in both China and South Korea, the influence of tradition and ideology such as Confucianism has been beneficial for growth and development.
Outline:
Introduction
The Modernizationist Approach
Authoritarianism
Democracy
A Unifying Force
Conclusion
From the Paper
"What at first appears to be a sharp polarization between an authoritarian country and a democratic nation proves to be a complex matter. The modernizationist paradigm is based on "the attitudinal changes of the middle class, arguing that economic growth, urbanization, greater literacy rates, and organizational know-how help to stimulate middle-class participation in politics" (Text 12). Two very different types of modernization took place in South Korea and China. The rapid industrialization of South Korea in the 1970s and 1980s appeared to be related to state capacity and especially strategies used by the estate to overcome free markets and to accelerate growth. "Industrialization led to a new, much more diverse, complex and interrelated economy which becomes increasingly difficult for authoritarian regimes to control" (Text 13)."

Abstract
Past mistakes when writing the history of China, Japan and Korea, involved seeing these societies as having grown up in isolation from the rest of the world, until the arrival of European explorers and traders of the early 16th century. This paper helps to show that Qing China, Tokugawa Japan, and Choson Korea, did have knowledge of other civilizations, and exposure to them.

From the Paper
"For centuries festivals in Japan have been more a way of life than a mere reason for celebration. While many of the popular festivals in Japan are based on long standing legends others celebrate the coming and passing of the seasons. Festivals in Japan are a time to relax with family members, a time to eat and drink and a time to celebrate Japan's rich spiritual culture.
They range from the bizarre - at Kanamara Matsuri the locals parade a large pink penis up and down the main street - to the spectacular - during the Cherry Blossom festival parks across Japan become awash in a sea of pink blossoms."
