Abstract
The paper relates that the Japanese and American corporate cultures utilize different image protecting values. The paper looks at the Japanese Boshido Codes of Honor, which instills a more individualistic type of corporate image and is extremely important to the success or failure of the leader or employee. The paper then compares this to America's more secular or more "practical" ethical approach to protecting corporate image. The paper shows how these differing views highlight the contrasting elements of ethical values instilled within the modern Japanese and American corporate identity.
From the Paper
"The Japanese culture is often been for centuries a country that has been isolated from the rest of the world due to extreme nationalism and resentment toward western imperialism. In the past, a distrust of "outsiders" such as Americans and Europeans has led to an individualistic process within Japanese business culture that rejects outside secular belief systems. Although modern Japanese society has recognized business ethical models through European identity (Kantian Philosophy) in modern times, there is a general tendency for Japanese business leaders and employees to follow their duties, yet not dishonor their own individual role within a particular organization."

From the Paper
"Intermarriage is one sign of the assimilation of a foreign population in their new country. Such marriages, however, often encounter numerous difficulties, from discrimination to cultural tensions between the husband and wife. Racial intermarriage involves the added difficulty of different racial backgrounds, which also create instances of discrimination and problems fitting into the community. The marriages of Japanese women and American men constitute one such intermarried population facing particular problems and issues.
When the Japanese started arriving in the United States in the 1890s, anger about the Chinese was simply transferred to the newcomers, and the focus of hostility and agitation against the Japanese was in California, as had been the case with hostility toward the Chinese. This was also where most of the continental Japan..."

Abstract
This paper examines the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II by comparing this action with the freedom experienced by German-Americans during the same period. The author questions the inherent racism of Americans that enabled such an occurrence to be legally sanctioned, while German-Americans lived their lives freely, although Hitler and Germany were also enemies of America during World War II. The paper then presents a detailed background of the Japanese immigrant experience in America, contrasting this with the American ideal of freedom and the reality of racism. The experiences of African and Native-Americans are also considered. The paper then describes the actual Japanese internment, which was unprecedented event in American history. The paper further states how the Internment still has an effect on the psyche of the Japanese-American population today. The author concludes that the internment of Japanese-Americans during the Second World War was one of the great tragedies of American history.

Conclusion
From the Paper
" Naturally, the situation was worse the further removed from the Anglo-Saxon ideal a group might chance to be. After the Civil War, the newly reunited nation demanded a huge supply of cheap labor to build its rapidly expanding railroad network. In the West, this labor was provided, to a large extent, by settlers from Japan and China. Labor Contractors, generally Japanese or Chinese themselves actively recruited these workers and brought them to America. They helped to lay the foundations of America's industrial prosperity. White American racial attitudes combined with a nationwide railroad strike in 1877 to create the necessary conditions for a crackdown on Asian immigration. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was soon followed by other, stricter acts, in 1892, 1902, and 1904. And as White America saw little, if any difference, between Japanese and any other Asians, the anti-Chinese immigration laws were followed by a Japanese Exclusion Act in 1907. By 1924, the United States had imposed an almost total ban on all immigration from East Asia, ..."

Abstract
This article examines the causes and consequences of Executive Order 9066 during World War II that incarcerated Japanese Americans, as well as Japanese residents. The writer argues that the American policy in forcibly relocating Japanese Americans to the hinterland was tragically flawed, but post-war redress made some amends for the injustice involved.
From the Paper
"This research paper summarizes the principal causes and consequences of the massive exclusion and evacuation of Japanese Americans (J.A.s) during World War II from the West Coast and their relocation to remote internment camps in the interior. J.A.s were forcibly removed transported and incarcerated by the United States Government. Approximately two-thirds of them were Nisei persons of Japanese descent who were born in America and therefore were American citizens and the remainder Issei J.A.s who were immigrants from Japan ...

Japanese and American Players, 2005.
Examines the problem of finding common ground with regards to Japanese players in American baseball leagues and vice versa.

Abstract
This paper discusses Americans playing for Japanese leagues, and Japanese playing for American leagues. Through the years there has been a great deal of cultural tension, yet, through baseball these tensions are beginning to change. The paper shows that Japanese players in the American baseball leagues are making a significant cultural impact. Americans playing in Japan are affecting the culture as well.
From the Paper
"Research indicates that in 1934 Babe Ruth led a group of professional American players to tour Japan. During that visit the Japanese were so impressed by the players, and the game, that they began to form their own leagues within a few years. Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Japanese baseball was not considered seriously by professional athletes. Furthermore, there were no suggestions that Americans play for Japanese teams. Yet, as time progressed, and tensions eased between the two countries, some American players began to consider that the Japanese leagues might be where they belonged in the sport. It was also true that American managers decided to take a chance at working in the realm of Japanese baseball. And, as the world has begun to change, Japanese players have been enticed to attempt to play in the American baseball leagues."

A Military Necessity: the Japanese American Internment, 2006.
An examination of the interment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how, due to military necessity, 120,000 Japanese Americans were unjustly interned in 1942, permanently scarring America, and creating a future precedence. The paper argues that this was an unjustified response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Surprisingly, the paper points out, many of the internees proved that they were able to make the best of a bad situation. Furthermore, despite the unfair treatment, a select few Japanese Americans were still willing to fight for their country and eventually became part of the most decorated unit in American history, the "Purple Heart Battalion". The paper concludes that this story proves that even in the face in adversity, people can do great things.

From the Paper
"Education was another serious concern among the camps. Schools had to be set up quickly, and materials were in short supply. Most schools opened around October, an unusual month compared to normal schools. In Wyoming, "A block of barracks was set aside for use as classrooms. Books did not arrive until December and then only in limited numbers. If a student had homework, he or she had to check out the textbook for the evening. Paper and pencils were also in short supply. The chalkboard was a piece of plywood painted black. Students sat on benches, and though some teachers had a table, others used boxes for desks. Students who sat in the front of the classroom near the potbellied stoves roasted, while those who sat in the back wore coats to keep from freezing. The open ceilings made for continuous distractions as the noise from one classroom invaded adjacent rooms." Other camps had it even worse though, holding classes in dinning halls, which proved to be both noisy and crowded. Teachers were also extremely hard to come by, but were appreciated when they did. Students were eager to learn and naturally cooperative. Later in the years, real schools began to appear complete with libraries, auditoriums, and even wood shops. To make things even better, "Graduates from the high schools in the relocation centers who qualified for colleges and universities, went to these schools in the mid-west and east coast states, usually on full scholarships. By the end of the war, many of these "students" were ready to graduate with college degrees and enter the job market at the same time the returning service men were just getting ready to enter college." So many people received college degrees that many camps were even able hold reunions for the students."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the issue of Japanese-American internment camps, through a review of Roger Daniels' book, "Prisoners Without Trials". The paper discusses the argument that the internment was justified at the time, due to the Japanese-Americans posing a security threat to the United States. This claim is explained as a poor excuse for racism, discrimination and political interest, on the part of the government. The paper continues to describe how the same government eventually admits that the internment was unjustified. The book is portrayed as clearly presenting the background and facts of this episode of racism and placing it in its historical context.
From the Paper
"The argument that the interment was justified because Japanese Americans posed a threat to the security of the United States ignores the fact that Italian Americans and German Americans were not rounded up and placed in internment camps. This was true despite the fact that Germany and Italy were enemies in World War II along with Japan. The racism of the American government and the people who allowed internment to occur is evident in such a discriminatory decision, for of the three enemies in World War II, only the Japanese stood out in appearance from other Americans. Had Germany and Italy been located in Asia, or Africa, meaning that German Americans and Italian Americans would have appeared "foreign" to Americans, it is likely that German Americans and Italian Americans would have been locked up in internment camps as well."

Japanese and American Ambition, 2002.
The cultural differences in the way Japanese and Americans view the concept of ambition.
1,245 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 42.95
»

Abstract
This paper describes the general overall differences in the ways in which Japanese and American society vary in their acceptance of personal ambition. The writer provides a definition of the concept of personal ambition and examines why it is easier to define this concept in the context of Japanese society than American society. It examines the relativity of this concept to these societies.
From the Paper
"The question of how ambition as a personality is expressed in two different cultures ? for example, in the United States and in Japan ? is a complex one for a number of reasons. The first is that any cultural entity as large as Japan or especially the United States is bound to have a tremendous amount of intracultural variation amongst people, so much so that the concept of the existence of a single dominant style of expressing a trait such as ambition must be called into question. This is especially true for a culture as diverse as is the United States; it is relatively easier to describe the expression of such a trait in a more homogeneous society like Japan ? or perhaps it only seems so from the perspective of the United States, for surely it is true that cultures always look simpler when seen from afar."

The Japanese-American Bio-pharmaceutical Industry, 2002.
An insight into the Japanese-American bio-pharmaceutical industry and the availability of drugs in each country.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Japanese-American bio-pharmaceutical industry represents an ongoing international effort between the two top pharmaceutical markets in the world. It looks at why a number of pharmaceutical products that are currently available to U.S. residents are unavailable to Japanese consumers and how from a humanitarian perspective, this discrepancy denies access to life-enhancing and life-saving drugs to the Japanese population. It proposes a study to evaluate how the United States and Japan can work collaboratively to optimize the availability of ethical pharmaceuticals so that every American and Japanese citizen is permitted free access to life-enhancing and life-saving drugs.

From the Paper
"Regardless of the strategic tools that are utilized for a meaningful entry into U.S. markets as well as growth, Japanese firms must increasingly rely on local staff. Depending on local staff to manage their business, and providing those managers with sufficient opportunities and incentives, is a management challenge that Japanese pharmaceutical manufacturers have yet to overcome, especially in the United States. This will require a modification of management methods throughout the firm, including domestic headquarters. Such changes will be slow and will be resisted; we expect the issue of bicultural management to be a struggle for most Japanese pharmaceutical firms throughout the 1990s. This ?people issue? also involves a number of organizational matters that many of these firms are now attempting to manage."

Abstract
Both the United States and Canadian World War II era leadership participated in the internment of Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans in an effort to ensure national security. This paper reviews the historical events surrounding the Japanese internment camps of World War II. The paper also examines how Americans learned from their mistakes after this incident.
From the Paper
"Daily life in these camps was not as difficult or harsh as the work camps of Europe, however the overall happiness, prosperity, and functionality of these Japanese Americans was compromised. These people were forced to live in intimidating circumstances, behind barbed wire fences and surrounded by armed guards (Satsuki, 15). A significant percentage of those interned died from simple illnesses and injury due to inadequate or nonexistent medical care. Internees were shot for allegedly disobeying orders or trying to run away. The conditions were so unpleasant that President Roosevelt himself referred to these locations as "concentration camps" (Gallavan, and Roberts). These camps are filled with overzealous American military personnel who encouraged riots and incited unrest within the facilities."

Japanese-American Internment Camps, 2007.
Discusses the Japanese-Americans internment camps run by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Department of Justice, during World War II.

Abstract
This paper explains that the three Japanese-Americans internment camps run by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, part of the Department of Justice, during World War II, were different from the ten relocation camps operated by the War Relocation Authority. The author relates that, although the vast majority of the internees were Japanese, the internees, who were called "enemy aliens", also included "potentially dangerous" Germans and a few Italians. The paper stresses that this interment represents race discrimination because the internees did not commit any crime other than belonging to an ethnic group, which was condemned at that time.
From the Paper
"These Americans blurred the identities of these rather different groups. The Japanese government, after going through a forced opening of their economy, modernized speedily. And unlike other countries which had let the Europeans and Americans conquest them and reap economic gains, Japan fought against these and develop militarily and industrially that it could not be touched. As evidences of its military power, we have the Sino-Japanese War, where China was conquered; we also have Japan humiliating Russia by destroying the Russian Baltic Fleet at Port Arthur."

The Japanese Yen and the American Dollar, 2002.
Applies economic models to interpret the exchange rate movement of the Japanese Yen to the American Dollar.

Abstract
This paper discusses the exchange rate movement of the Japanese Yen to the American dollar using three popular exchange rate models: the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP); the Current Account Model (CAM) and the Portfolio Balance Model (PBM). These three models are discussed after a brief introduction that establishes the groundwork for the investigation. The paper includes tables.
From the Paper
"Hedging and arbitrage to achieve exchange rate maximization are primarily functions of capitalistic economies. Since both the United States and Japan are "capitalist" countries (although each adheres to a different philosophy of capitalism) a study of the relationship between the Japanese Yen and the American Dollar can be an instructive guide to the disparate nature of capitalism. The American government still adheres to the myth of free market fluctuations and flexibility as the basis of capitalism, while the Japanese believe that business and government must become allies to engender growth of Japanese companies."

From the Paper
"The Japanese employment system has been described by some as the result of cultural norms encouraging high commitment, reciprocity, and conformity, but Andrew Gordon takes the opposing view that these practices are actually an economic response. He traces this system back to its roots in pre-war Japan, showing how the system developed from a different system in the era of World War I and the 1920s into something closer to the current system because of the interplay of economic forces.
The Japanese system offers many observable Japanese managerial practices which can be reduced to three underlying factors:
1) a long-run planning horizon;
2) a commitment to lifetime employment; and
3) a sense of collective responsibility."
