Abstract
This paper examines how the psyche of "Japan Inc." is its strength and its weakness too. This psyche had initially served Japan well, but it has now outlived its utility and hence must changed. To change this psyche, the paper proposes two policy recommendations. One deals with the social roots of the psyche and the other deals with the economic roots. For the social aspect of the psyche, the paper proposes that the Japanese relook and rewrite their history. For the economic aspect, the paper proposes that the Japanese instate a viable pension system. (The paper recommends the Chilean Pension system along with the reasons). The paper shows that by restudying their history, the Japanese may come out of their myth of being a homogeneous race and thus move forward to assimilate foreigners. The paper explains how this assimilation will be in the interest of "Japan Inc". By adopting a sound pension system, the economic future of Japan will be more optimistic and rid the country of its burden of the 'lifetime employment? system The paper argues that both these measures will help change the adverse demographic pattern of the society to the long-term advantage of "Japan Inc". The paper includes graphs.
From the Paper
"It may be argued that the Japanese growth was nothing but a happy accident of history, but whatever it was, it was indeed awesome and left Economists gasping for explanations. However as Japanese are now realizing, in its bid to catch up with the West, Japan has caught its own tail. Side by side of following the West, Japan ?forgot? to learn English and could not become a favorite destination for foreigners in search for opportunities. Its empty immigration offices should worry Japan and the Government should swiftly move to attract foreign labor as they will not only bring youthful energy and ideas with them but will also be a source of huge demand for Japanese economy. The Japanese can learn from the US experience where the US economy is benefited by the demand generated by the foreigners apart from the Americans themselves- something which was consciously promoted by the US government in the past, of having a multi colored heterogeneous society which today is America?s biggest strength."

Abstract
This paper takes a close look at the accomplishments and goals of the Pepsi company in order to better examine the environmental factors Pepsi considers when makings its domestic and global marketing decisions.
From the Paper
"Another major factor is the economic environment of the domestic and international market that advertising campaigns intend to target. While in the United States, relative wealth makes the purchase of soft drinks a daily necessity for many Americans. Thus spending on soda and especially Pepsi products take place in large quantities with no more than second's thought. The domestic market caters to Pepsi's product and as a result, consumers are willing to pay the going rates in order to purchase Pepsi products. However, this is not necessarily true in other markets. When Pepsi initially advertised its products in China, it sold its product at the exchange price equivalent to the United States. As a result, Pepsi became a product that was almost never drunk in China for a period because of its relatively overpriced nature. Only when Pepsi realized that the market in China was not ready to accept Pepsi into its daily diet did they lower the price to a level that Chinese consumers would purchase it (Paley, 30). Economic environment plays a large role in how marketing strategies work within certain markets. Pepsi's products is a especially obvious because it is a consumer want, rather than need, and as a result needs to be carefully marketed both economically and socially in order to gain significant market shares within international markets."

Abstract
This paper argues that people make choices ignorant of the consequences. It examines the characters of Harold Pinter's "Betrayal" as manifestations of the Freudian psyche: the id, ego. and superego. Using this model, the author dissects their actions and the overall actions of the play. The paper includes two specific, in-depth analyses of scenes.
From the Paper
"Betrayal is one act, broken into nine formal scenes, suggesting the integral continuity of life, as well as its episodic nature. Close inspection of any one of these scenes reveals a careful representation of human dialogue when nearly all the action is based upon deceit. In particular, scenes four and five illustrate Pinter?s dramatic and thematic structure."

Japan's Modern Myths, 2007.

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses Professor Carol Gluck's views regarding Japan as portrayed in Chapter 5 and 6 of 'Japan's Modern Myths: Ideology in the Late Meiji Period'. The writer points out that Professor Gluck argues that Japanese society was and is a society founded upon the values of the collective, rather than upon the individual. Further, the writer notes that her view of Japanese civic virtues is extremely broad and suggests that on every level of public and personal morality, the nation is given greater value than the lives of its citizens. The writer then discusses that, in Chapter 6, Gluck paints the period as a constant struggle between the forces of nationalism and collectivism versus the "social fever" for modernity, or Westernization, that is still present and, in Gluck's opinion, was a natural, human impulse in contrast to the expressed will of the state.
From the Paper
"Gluck suggests that the Meiji policies of the late 19th and early 20th century Japanese government leading up to World War II made civil obedience and national sacrifice a religious calling. Gluck's views of the causes of World War II thus take on a very socially deterministic cast. In her view, because the Emperor was divine, everything he did and was done in the name of Japan was seen as right and just. In terms of Japanese religion, although Gluck argues that although it might seem Buddhism had had a strong religious presence in Japanese morality, she believes this should not be over-emphasized, stating that Buddhism was often perceived as a foreign religion by the state In contrast, Gluck stresses the emphasis on the indigenous Japanese religion Shinto as a state religion. She sees Shintoism, as opposed to the imported philosophy of Buddhism, to form the true philosophy of the civil cult of the state. She points out that the Shintoists continued to press their claims for the institutionalization of Shinto as a separate office of state, apart from Buddhists."

Japan's Nuclear Capabilities, 2006.
This well-researched paper examines not only whether Japan has the capability to create nuclear weapons but whether or not Japan already has these actual weapons.

Abstract
This in-depth paper explores the sometimes fragile alliance between Japan and the U.S. and ponders whether or not Japan is capable, from a technical standpoint, of creating nuclear weapons. This paper delves into the possibility that Japan may already have nuclear weapons in its possession. A large number of Japanese citizens and successive governments have favored continuing the alliance with the U. S. which involves enormous reliance on American security and military power to protect Japan from attack. This paper defines article 9, the renunciation of war, of Japan's Peace Constitution. The writer also discusses the economic benefits in developing and maintaining nuclear weapons. This well-researched and informative paper considers some of the means Japan could employ to gain greater military autonomy which includes completing the development and production of advanced weapons such as the FSX fighter. This paper also discusses the various groups and parties that oppose nuclear weapons including the Japan Council against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs.
From the Paper
"Considering that the huge military-industrial complex of United States is an often-criticized force in the American economy and that maintaining a similarly high level of expenditures on weapons was a critical factor leading to the economic and political failure of the former Soviet Union, many in Japan are understandably content not to have a defense industry of a comparable magnitude. But there are some Japanese willing, and even eager, to duplicate or surpass American state-of-the-art military technology. Those who wish to see Japan more independent of reliance on the American power, who believe Japan's future is dependent on an autonomous defense establishment, favor the concept of Kokusanka or, indigenization of defense production."

Abstract
In an effort to determine the causes of Japan's economic and technological success following WWII, this paper examines Japan's history beginning with the signing of the peace treaty bringing an end to World War II and the years that followed. The paper reviews the peace treaty and what was demanded of Japan to bring an end to the war after the bombing of Nagasaki and examines the role of the U.S. in ruling post-war Japan. Furthermore, the paper assesses Japan's aggressive pursuit of its post-war reconstruction, including what industries were pursued and why, and then analyzes those factors that made it possible for Japan to recover in such a short time following the devastating war, becoming a major, global industrial power. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.

Review and Analysis
Industrialization in Post-War Japan
Cultural and Demographic Factors
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The key points of these policies were simple and straightforward, and included the demilitarization of Japan (so that it would not again become a danger to peace); democratization, meaning that, while no particular form of government would be forced upon the Japanese, efforts would be made to develop a political system under which individual rights would be guaranteed and protected; and the establishment of an economy that could adequately support a peaceful and democratic Japan. Further, MacArthur shared the vision of a demilitarized and democratic Japan and he was well suited to the challenge. MacArthur was an outstanding administrator and possessed the leadership and charisma that appealed to the defeated Japanese. MacArthur did not tolerate any domestic nor foreign interference, and aggressively went about creating a new Japan. To this end, he encouraged an environment in which new forces could and did rise, and, where his reforms corresponded to trends that had already established in Japanese society, they served to play a critical part in Japan's recovery as a free and independent country (Winchester 1989)."

Japan's Immigration Policy, 2006.
This paper evaluates the effectiveness of Japan's current immigration policy.
1,950 words (approx. 7.8 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the Japanese people, who are among the most nationalistic people of all, try hard to preserve their ethnic homogeneity, ensuring that the population of Japan remains dominated by the Japanese and that foreign nationals are a very small percentage of the population. The author evaluates Japan's immigration policies by focusing on its labor markets, rights protection, societal identities and border security. The paper concludes that globalization of Japan's industries causes an increasing demand for skilled workers;
however, currently, Japan's immigration policy is not open enough to welcome foreign workers and businesses as compared to the policies of
Singapore and Hong Kong, which leaves Japan behind in terms of economic globalization. The paper includes several quotations.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Japan's Immigration Policy: An Evaluation through a Study of the Policies' Evolution

The Effects of Japan's Immigration Policies
From the Paper
"In terms of maximum period of stay for foreign workers, Japan currently grants a maximum of only three years; surprisingly too short for a worker who wants to establish a good future; and surprisingly too short as compared again to other more developed countries. In terms of the employment status of foreign workers, on the other hand, considering the claim of Japan on their strict policy on limiting, or even preventing, foreign unskilled workers, it is surprising that "entertainers" and "trainees" coming from neighboring Asian countries are categorized under skilled workers."

From the Paper
"While Japan is still very much focused on traditional culture, the country absorbed a great deal of Western technology during the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Bartleby, 2000). After losing World War II, Japan experienced an amazing recovery, which secured its status as the second most powerful economy in the world and a loyal ally of the United States. Although the emperor holds the throne as a symbol of national unity, the actual power falls to a network of powerful politicians, bureaucrats, and business executives. Japan?s economy experienced a major slowdown in the 1990s, following three decades of unprecedented growth, and currently has some serious economic challenges."

Japan and Southeast Asia, 2005.
An examination of the history of Japan's contemporary relations with Southeast Asia.

Abstract
This paper examines how history has had a considerable impact on Japan's relationship with Southeast Asia. The experience of the Japanese colonialism and the atrocities of the WWII participated in a persistent anti-Japanese resentment in the region with the result that Japan's foreign policy has had to deal with serious suspicion and difficulties to rebuild mutual understanding between Japan and Southeast Asia. It also looks at how the experience of the Cold War and Japan's submission to the U.S. economic and security interests have constituted an important obstacle to Japan-Southeast Asia interaction.

The Legacy of the Japanese Military Expansionism in Southeast Asia Before 1945
A Difficult Japan-Southeast Asia Interaction after 1945: The Japanese Foreign Policy Choices in a Confrontational World Order
Balance: Japan and the Challenge of Reconciling History With the Future of a More Globalised World
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Japanese historical presence in Southeast Asia thus can be considered to have participated in the development of forthcoming antagonisms precisely in this region during the Cold War. In this respect, Takashi Inoguchi's analysis of the impact of the Japanese occupation on Vietnam is particularly relevant. Indeed, he insists on the fact that Japan's colonisation of Vietnam led to a considerable exploitation of the country's resources which resulted in the emergence of nationalist movements and doctrines that would be then appropriated and exploited by confrontational ideologies during the Cold War.

From the Paper
"The demographic dilemma is certainly a cause for concern for Japan's economy but it appears that Japan will be able to cope with the shortage during the next 20 years. Japan has not been very receptive to the 'guest workers' for meeting its manpower requirements but a future shortage may change that situation. Increased productivity, late retirement, more participant of women in work force and possibility of using foreign workers are some of the options that can be used to meet the manpower requirement of the economy. Japan has the highest number of robots in use in the world [CIA Report on Japan Economy, 2005, the automation is another solution to the manpower shortage. "
