Abstract
The paper explores the intent and goals of the American occupation of Japan. The paper also discusses the many effects of the occupation on Japan, including social, economic, industrial, educational and political changes that allowed the nation to become one of the top industrial and technological competitors in the world.
From the Paper
"The main result of the American Occupation of Japan by many accounts was the fact that Japan came out of it as one of the strongest and most educated, technologically advanced nations of the world. In recent decades Japan has even been more advanced than America in many areas of technology and mathematics and it can be traced back to the measures put into place to begin a democracy in Japan during the 1945-1952 occupation (Costa, Danielle The American Occupation in Japan 1997 Tufts University: Chinese and Japanese Politics)"

Abstract
The paper examines America's occupation of Japan after World War II, governed at the time by Douglas MacArthur, known as the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP). The paper explains that he helped revive the Japanese economy, the Japanese political system and major reforms in various institutions in Japan. This led to an agreement in San Francisco in 1951 to allow Japan to defend herself and to continue with her economic development.
From the Paper
"The end of World War II in the Pacific came in 1945, but the war did not end for Japan for some time even though the fighting was over. After the war, Japan was occupied for some time by the U.S. under the command of General Douglas MacArthur. The Japanese chafed under the restrictions placed on the country by MacArthur and his administration, but in the long term, the people emerged from this era stronger and fully able to take advantage of new economic opportunities, allowing them not only to rebuild their country but to achieve a major increase in economic terms over the next several decades."

Abstract
This paper takes a critical look at the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong in December of 1941. The paper points out that the occupation lasted till the early autumn of 1945, and the brutality of the experience is still a topic of resentment. It asserts that the occupation of World War II is part of Hong Kong's history and local memory for it harshly affected every family then living there. The paper adds that Japan's unknowable agenda caused some people in Hong Kong to rather welcome the 1997 lapse to the PRC, aware that their territory would be defended by the Red Army should their worst fears come to pass. The paper concludes that the fall of Hong Kong and the Japanese occupation were shattering events that have shaped Hong Kong's culture and consciousness.

From the Paper
"One is unsurprised by comments of older people from Hong Kong on a 'Japanese mentality' or condemnation of recent Japanese elections favouring right-wing candidates. Stories still abound of Hong Kong civilians forced to dig hideouts for Japanese boats on Lamma Island, the diggers killed to keep the boats' locations secret. Part of the trouble involves how such horrid events contrasted with a colony of which many Chinese were most proud for Hong Kong had grown from nothing after the 1840s, the work of ordinary immigrants from the Mainland, the British administration working in their favour in years when the Mainland was hopelessly turbulent or just inefficient. In fact, after World War II, people wanted a return to stable government, eschewing decolonization in favour of colonial rule that lasted till 1997. The Japanese occupation had a deep impact, in this sense, as in 1952 proposed liberal reforms were not of interest to the public. Authoritative, stable rule was wanted instead, for the IJA occupation had destroyed Hong Kong's pre-War trading economy based on entrepot shipping and services linking the Chinese treaty ports that were most profitable. Hong Kong was a place of employment, education and hope, different from other European colonies in the region, its atmosphere said to be happier and more harmonious than in British Malaya or Singapore. Its people were often the children or the grandchildren of 19th century migrants, many from Canton, the whole social order differing from that of China, the well to do proud to descend from some ordinary soul to head for Hong Kong to make his fortune, away from the rigid class system of Mainland China, Qing instability and corruption."

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."

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
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."

Abstract
The paper reviews a speech given by Aso Taro, the Japanese foreign minister, on December 7, 2005, the 64th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The paper reviews the three concepts Taro used to define Japan and affirms each concept's truth. The writer states that the Japanese and American economies are highly interdependent. In conclusion, the writer feels that Japan and the United States form one, combined superpower.
From the Paper
"Japan has come a long way and is in a very controlling position in the Asian community with democracy. Anything that Japan does reflects on the United States because they are both democracies. It seems as if Japan will continue to be an ally of the United States for years to come. 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."

"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."
