Social Issues Facing Modern Japan

Japan is a Country at a Crossroads. A variety of factors, from globalization to an increase of women in the workforce to a dissatisfied younger generation are contributing to a rapidly changing society. And these changes are bringing with them new social issues that Japan is struggling to deal with as they try to maintain their traditional culture in an increasingly globalized society. In this book, ten undergraduate students enrolled in a Japanese Culture class at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA explore in depth various issues that are shaping modern Japanese society. This compilation of essays is a good resource for anyone interested in the social issues that will affect Japanese life for years to come.
