It is very important to remain allies with Japan as well because of Japan's influence on the other side of the globe. The relationship between Japan and the United States is affected every day by simple actions that are completed. Aso Taro's speech only strengthened the bond between the two countries and continuing peace."

Abstract
A strong work ethic is vital to the success of any firm. In recent years, there have been many comparisons made between the work ethics of American and Japanese employees. This paper compares and contrasts Japan's management theories and work ethics with those of the United States. The paper presents differences relating to changes in technology, as well as interpersonal relations.
From the Paper
"Additionally, managers fail to cater to the needs of workers and have the tendency to make employees feel that they can easily be replaced. This managerial theory is much different than the one that is practiced in Japan in which managers take special interests in the personal lives of workers. When American managers fail to view their employees as people with lives outside of the workplace they have a difficult time creating a job environment that is conducive with high levels of productivity."

Abstract
This paper begins by examining the broad issue of trade that affects the United States and Japan today. The paper then takes a look at the cultural and historical factors that have led to Japanese dominance in business. Finally, the paper considers how the Japanese gains in automobile market share have affected the United States and the world economy, as well as the problems and the opportunities facing business in an international setting given these circumstances.
From the Paper
"The United States and Japan have an interesting relationship. It was not so long ago that Japan was the sworn enemy of the United States, intent on the downfall of the United States. It was Japan that destroyed Pearl Harbor, dragging the United States into World War II. The fighting in Europe was intense, but fighting in the Pacific was more arduous, filled with more danger, against an enemy whose cruelty seemed to know no bounds. Stories of the war that fill high school history textbooks include the Japanese basically going on suicide, or Kamikaze missions to destroy U.S. naval power. The books tell a story of soldiers who buried POW's in the sand up to their necks, propped the POW's mouths open with sticks, and allowed local ants and other insects to feed on the soft tissue of the POW's mouths and throats. In response to this threat, the United States dropped nuclear weapons on two of Japan's cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was after the Japanese surrender that the relationship between the two countries became really interesting."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although political and economic systems of the United States and Japan are very similar now, until the end of the Second World War, they were very different especially because of Japan's isolation as a nation over two millennium. The author points out that both economic systems are market-economies, which are moving into the Information Age, display adaptability and are trending towards deregulation. The paper relates that four political parties compete for seats in Japans Parliament just as American political parties compete for seats in Congress; however, unlike in the United States, Japan's prime minister is elected by majority vote in the Parliament's House of Representatives and House of Councilors.
From the Paper
"Japan's form of constitutional democracy has been described as a constitutional monarchy, but the emperor has no real power and essentially serves as a ceremonial head of state. Governing power is in the hands of the Prime Minister and Parliament in Tokyo. This parliamentary system in Japan differs from the federal government system in the United States, which features a presidential system comprised of three equal branches of government: an executive branch headed by the chief executive, a bicameral legislative branch, and a judicial branch."
"
"Both economic systems are market-economies, are moving into the Information Age, and have experienced recent downturns in their economies. But both have displayed adaptability and trends towards deregulation, and these elements, along with the strong cultural work ethic in Japanese and American employees, bode well for the future economic prosperity of Japan and the United States."

" Strategic Trade Theory and its Application to the
Japanese-United States Semiconductor Battles
The Theory Defined
Strategic Trade Theory, as it is defined by Robert E. Kennedy (1996) is a new way of analyzing the trade relationships between two countries which in effect turns against some of the traditional theories of comparative advantages. Kennedy states: "The theory of comparative advantage is one of the most widely accepted economic principles among economists. The theory, as well as substantial historical evidence, suggests that free trade raises national income, while government intervention in trade relations generally lowers a nation's wealth" (Kennedy, 1996, 1).
But. argues Kennedy, the comparative advantage theory does.."

The United States, the Superpower, 2005.
This paper explains that geography, technology, manpower, productivity, investment and finance are linked together to make and maintain the U.S. as a superpower.

Abstract
This paper explains that its geography and demography gave the U.S. the initial capacity to invest U.S. capital thus becoming a mighty engine of world finance, gathering increments of power by bolstering old enterprises or by opening new enterprises. The author points out that W.W. II literally forced America to become an internationalist nation; the period after W.W. II marked a transition to a new phase of nationalist feeling incorporating a militarist emphasis in foreign policy and an increasing anxiety about security. The paper states that the use of atomic bombs in Japan to end W.W. II was a watershed event in history and ultimately proved to be the catalyst in propelling the U.S. into the elite club of world superpowers at the time: Today, America is the only superpower in the world.

"In any calculus of the world's resources - immediate, reserve and potential - America leads the procession of the nations, with even the Soviet Union following at a distance. America was estimated (in 1950) to have 30 percent of the world's harnessed water power and to produce 42 percent of the world's total electrical power from all sources - about 430 billion kilowatt hours (Western Europe produced 25 percent, the Soviet Union eight percent). It used 60 percent of the world's total petroleum production and 25 percent of its total coal production. Its per-capita use of electrical energy from all sources increased from 455 kilowatt-hours in 1924 to 3,000 kilowatt-hours in 1954, and its per-capita use of total mechanical energy was like that derived from burning eight tons of coal for every person."

Abstract
The paper looks at the history of Japan after WWI. The events described are the conquering and occupation of Manchuria in China, the Panay Incident, the actions taken by the US towards Japan and the actions taken by Japan after WWI. The paper also looks at the Japanese government's instability during that period. The paper concludes that the actions taken by the Japanese in World War II were a direct result of the relationship that had developed between the United States and Japan between World War I and World War II.
From the Paper
"The period between World War I and World War II was a tumultuous time for the world. From the focus of most of the civilized world, the majority of the trouble was arising from Europe. There were two countries that were threatening the free world with their oppressive ideals, and hand banded together for their mutual benefit. With Hitler heading the Nazis in Germany, and Mussolini heading the Fascists in Italy, the future of Europe was hanging in the balance. These dilemmas, however, were not the only ones the world would have to deal with. In the Pacific, an alien and seemingly remote country, that until just under a century ago had been totally un-industrialized, was threatening its neighboring Asian countries. Using their powers of adaptation and an indomitable spirit, they had forced themselves into being one of the most powerful nations in the world. The Japanese had seen what the world had to offer, and had immersed themselves into becoming a force in the world instead of becoming a province of another world power. The nation they would become, in accordance to their method of borrowing outside concepts and re-conceiving them with a distinct Japanese identity attached, was heavily dependent on the interactions that they would experience with other nations. The actions taken by the Japanese in World War II were a direct result of the relationship that had developed between the United States and Japan between World War I and World War II. The major events the shaped this relationship were the incidents occurring in China, instabilities within the Japanese government, and the actions taken by the United States towards Japan."

From the Paper
"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."

Capital Punishment, 2005.
This paper discusses the issue of capital punishment in Japan and the United States.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the United States and Japan are the only highly advanced industrialized countries that have retained capital punishment. The author points out that Japan has a death penalty but uses it sparingly, executing two or three prisoners a year; many Japanese psychologists agree that the death penalty provides a psychic release from the pressure and degradation of conformity, repression and overwork and is an effective tool for instilling fear in police interrogations. The paper relates that the death penalty in these countries is approached differently: The United States, through its constitutional rights, has facilitated a plethora of information to support or abolish the death penalty; whereas, Japan offers minimal information about this issue to the general public.

United States: Capital Punishment
From the Paper
"As previously mentioned, Japan does support capital punishment. "The Japanese Penal Code lists 13 crimes that identify the death penalty as an appropriate sanction, and an additional five are sited in other statues." The Prime Minister's Office reported that a survey has revealed that almost 80 percent of people polled nationwide, up from 74 percent in 1994, expressed approval for Japan's continuation of the use of capital punishment. The figure is an all-time high among six such polls conducted since 1956. Results of the poll, which were conducted after a five-year lapse and covered 5,000 men and women aged 20 years or older, also showed that support for scrapping the death penalty has dipped to a mere 8 percent. This is the first time the figure has fallen below the 10 percent mark."

Abstract
The paper discusses how, with regard to national emergency laws, Japan, the United States and Canada focus on man-made disasters, whereas China and India emphasize naturally-occurring events. The paper shows how, while all five countries adhere to the same basic approach of contemplating mitigation, vulnerability and recovery, the United States and India have produced extensive and impressive bureaucratic responses to recent events while other nations have lagged behind. The paper discusses how different nations' plans are a direct reflection on what they feel are most threatening to their future security and well-being.
From the Paper
"Japan is the first of the nation's whose national emergency management will be reviewed and it does indeed provide an interesting case. Specifically, it is appropriate to look at Japan's recent national emergency legislation - legislation designed specifically to give that country greater military freedom in the event of external attack or even threat. To begin with, 2003 saw the Japanese Parliament or Diet approve three contingency bills - the Bill to Respond to Armed Attack, the Bill for Revision on the Law Governing the Security Council of Japan, the Bill for Revision on the Self-Defense Forces (SDF) Law. Essentially, these bills - which are quite complex pieces of legislation - permit the Japanese government to disavow the "abandoning war" commitment delineated in Article 9 of the national Constitution; in a closely-related vein, injunctions against strengthening or broadening the country's military operations and development have now been cast aside."
