Not only good aspects but also there are bad aspects in both of countries, United States and Japan. I came back to Japan two days ago and I still have jet lag right now, and I actually haven’t felt any culture shock yet, but I have an opinion that differences between Japan and America. Today, I would like to talk about two point that I respect to the United States. First of all, American people have strong opinion and they can share it into words to other people. I really respect this, and I want to learn from it, but it is very difficult in Japan because Japanese people feel ashamed to share themselves opinion to someone and would not like to stand out, so they prefer to majority and they hate minority. It is very bad point of Japanese people including me. Second, students in the United States are more talk about world issues such as gender problems, politic problems, and environmental problems than Japanese students. Japanese youth tend to would not like to talk about these things, especially in front of friends. They think talking these problems is boring and, if someone talk these things, they probably think what a show-off, and everyone really afraid this. They always talk about their hobbies, TV programs, and entertainments. I am interested in problems what happens in the world and I want to talk with friends and listen other opinions. I think it is very important to have a ourselves opinion and to learn from other opinions, and it makes us more good person who is independent. In conclusion, I prefer that people in the United States have strong opinion and they talk severe problems more than Japanese. I want to be a person to cherish my opinions and values individuality like American people.
