This study explores the tremendous pressure Japanese students must endure in the pursuit of academic achievement.

The focus of this study is the impact of academic pressures on Japanese students.<br>Japanese education is a single-minded drive for achievement that results in what many refer to as examination hell.

Abstract:
International Social Survey Programme 2003 found that about 90% of the people in Japan favour the idea of maintaining the ethnic minorities' culture, rather than their adaptation to the dominant majority's culture. It is outstandingly high percentage, compared internationally. The result is consistent with the fact that multicultural coexistence ("Tabunka kyosei") policy is welcomed in many local governments to support the immigrants. However, it contradicts to some academics' argument that Japan puts assimilative pressure to ethnic minorities. Therefore, this thesis analyses why the idea of m

Abstract:
This paper is about locating the meaning of a series of games known as the Dark Souls series in relation to contemporary social conditions in Japan. I argue that the game should be thought of as an emblem of the current cultural zeitgeist, in a similar way one might identify something like Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums as an emblem of the counter cultural 60s. I argue that the Dark Souls series expresses in allegorical form an anxiety about living in a time where the meaning of our everyday actions and even society itself has become significantly destabilized.

Abstract:
In response to growing social inequality, environmental crises, and economic instability, sustainability discourse has become the dominant "master signifier" for many fields, particularly the field of urban planning.

The social dimension of sustainability remains a "concept in chaos" drawing little agreement on definitions, domains, and indicators for addressing the social challenges of urban life.

This dissertation attempts to provide an exploratory structure to respond to, and tries to resolve, an existing void in international accounting research.

Abstract:
Recent studies have documented an alarming rate of alcohol use in Japan (Eisenback-Stangl et al., 2005; Milne, 2003; Shimizu, 2000). Indeed, permissive social and cultural norms for alcohol use exist within Japanese culture (Shimizu, 1990, 2000). Japanese college-students may be at further risk due to their developmental time period, where increases in alcohol use are typically seen. Furthermore, drinking habits formed during this time period may be difficult to alter later in life (Frone, 2003). Thus, social, developmental, and cultural factors exist to influence drinking among Japanese colle

The intent of this study is to examine the trajectory of ideology regarding standard Japanese and dialects from the historical perspective, and also to discuss the cause of the post-war shift of the ideology. Before the war, the government attempted to disseminate hyojun-go aiming at creating a unified Japan in the time when many countries were developing to be nation states after industrial revolution. After the Pacific war, the less strict-sounding term kyotsu-go was more often used, conveying an ideology of democratization. Yet despite the difference in the terms, speaking a common language

The language of children's manga will be analyzed using the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), which concerns itself with the relation between ideology and power in discourse.

This study examines how people compensate for their inability to accommodate the needs of others in service encounters. Being unable to meet others' needs violates the positive face of one of the participants in a discourse.

However, the language behavior that follows a face-threatening act has not yet received much focus.

According to Ishihara (2007) and Lee (1996 [English translation 2010]), kokugo, since its inception in 1900, has promoted moral awareness and assimilation of Japanese ideals across the country.

Abstract:
Based on the author's ethnographic research at the Karakuwa fishing community in Japan, this thesis explains a cultural process of the local people's synthesis of the values they place on nature and their everyday behavior in a modern industrial world. Explicated by ethnographic narrative, this study focuses on a revitalization movement similar to others attempted by fishermen in other parts of Japan. These revitalization movements embody values, held by fishermen for centuries, that nature should be respected. These movements also serve as symbolic activities to resurrect natural resource use

Abstract:
Although motherhood is believed to be an essential role for Japanese women, a growing minority of women are choosing to be childfree. This thesis explores why Japanese women choose not to have children, given the strong pronatalist discourse on motherhood. Childfree women’s voices are rarely heard in society and the subject is also absent from Japanese feminism. A qualitative-interpretive study of existing narratives was undertaken to record the reasons, experiences and meaning of being childfree in Japanese society from women’s perspectives. Women in narratives identified the difficulty of co

Abstract:
By the turn of the twentieth century, "rural youth" came to symbolize the spirit of hard work, masculinity, and patriotism. The village youth associations, the seinendan, as well as a number of other youth training programs, carried that ideal and spread it all over the Japanese empire. This dissertation examines how the movement to create "rural youth" unfolded in different parts of the empire and how young farmers responded to this mobilization. By examining three rural areas in Miyagi (northern Japan), Xinzhu (Taiwan), and South Ch'ungch'ŏng (Korea), I argue that the social tensions and loc

Abstract:
This paper examines the group ethos that is such a critical part of preschool education in contemporary Japan. The paper discusses the importance to parents and to the government of suppressing individuality and of inculcating a positive feeling for the group in children in Japanese early childhood education. The group ethos is a part of Japanese society as a whole and of its political culture, in particular. The purpose of this paper is to attempt to discover parallels between values that prevail in early childhood classrooms and in Japanese politics and culture. The paper also explores the p

Abstract:
Among sport sociologists, the dependency relationship between sport and the dominant culture has become an important area of concern. Examination of the cultural and historical transformations of specific sports may be expected to provide significant insights into the nature of this relationship. The purpose of this study was to develop hypotheses to explain how the meanings and the forms of judo have been transformed and/or maintained in the society of origin, Japan, and in an adoptive society, the United States. An ethnographic study, based upon in-depth interviews with judo instructors in t

Abstract:
This dissertation argues that Japan's rapid and dramatic demographic transition is having a transformative effect on regulation and law. It argues that the myriad social and economic challenges associated with demographic transition are a catalyst for collaborative forms of governance - that is, governance that employs indirect and pluralist regulation to supervise and co-opt an otherwise autonomous non-state sector. It contends that Japan's tradition of legal pluralism, which blends formal and contextual elements, is conducive to this collaborative approach to grappling with radical demograph
