Japanese Politics And Its Impact On The United States

The twenty-first century has seen pharmaceutical companies grow in unprecedented size and strength. Due to the unprecedented growth the larger pharmaceutical companies have gained leverage and power in the prescription drug industry, but they lack innovation to market and they seek ways to help the business continue to increase its profits. The pharmaceutical industry was once ethically sound and was a valuable player in the development of human health. However, overtime with the lack of innovation pharmaceutical companies are becoming an unethical market that exploits patients, doctors and anyone else it can to increase its profitability. With eyes only on profitability this can create a hazard for patients because there

Japan Test: Feudalism Thinking about our universal theme of chaos vs. order, did Japanese Feudalism have a positive or negative impact on Japan? Use documents 1-4 to support your answer. For many centuries, Japan's society was based on feudalism, a bond of loyalty between a lord and vassal. I believe this system negatively impacted Japan.

Japan noticed that American citizens were very different than their own; no appointed social class meant that Americans had more spirits of freedom, independence, and self-reliance.6 In comparison to the Americans, those Japanese citizens who were in the upper classes received special treatments and at times were almost untouchable. In America, however, the president and the bourgeoisie could walk around with freedom and happiness, as there was no threat to them. Kume Kunitake notes that, “It is a place where those Europeans most endowed with the spirit of independence and self-government have gathered and are in control.”7 This free spirited attitude without the pressure from the elite showed the happiness and comfort of the citizens. This notion created a happy society within classes. Americans truly understood the notion that they were a self-made country and did not have a set of social beliefs that they were required to follow.

After centuries of living in seclusion to the outside world, the government knew that they needed the technological advancements that the West offered. The Industrial Revolution and growing urbanisation in Japan had intended to and succeeded in mimicking Western growth. Moreover, the Japanese were well-known for their diligence, discipline, perseverance, and hard work – this resulted in substantial economic development including increased shipping of commodities and a significant expansion of trade and handicraft industries. However, the political elite pocketed most of the profits through influence and corruption. Workers and farmers found it unfair that their patriotic and back-breaking labour only received a little wage in comparison, but with a state-controlled media and education system, they couldn’t make their voices heard. So overall, this collective and nationalistic open-mindedness for communal prosperity was beneficial for Japan as a whole, but the common people were disadvantaged with no access to basic human rights and a fair

American troops invaded many countries and remain with them for a very long time, but nothing quite like the history between America and Japan. America’s presence in Japan has shown to have had grave effects on the country from past to present. The intent of this paper is to discuss how America has altered the Japanese way of life through the incorporation of its military, politics, and culture.

Currently in the world there are 196 countries, each one with unique qualities and political structures. Japan is an island nation in East Asia that is located in the Pacific Ocean. It has a total of 6, 852 islands that make up about ninety seven percent of Japan’s land area. It is the world’s tenth largest population with 126 million people. The emperor ran the country until it was forced to surrender and the United States assisted in the reform of the country. Currently, Japan is a democracy with a constitution that used the structure of the United States as a model. It uses the three-branch system, however, one of its branches drastically outweighs the other two in regards to power. This developed nation has many aspects of it government

The drug Lauwerpreshure was originally developed at Towson University, and was sponsored by BESPC. However, the University’s laboratory and equipment were used to create the drug but BESPC contributed money to buy the necessary compartments for the experiment. I would say that the rights of the drugs belongs to both the University and BESPC. However, we do not have significant information as to what documents were signed describing who owned the rights before the experiment was conducted. During the clinical trials, the drug company were the ones doing the clinical trials. I assume, if they were able to conduct the trials then they might have the rights to manufacture and mass-produce the drugs. Scientific American states, “The rationale underlying this perception regarding the influence of industry funding is fairly straightforward. Pharmaceutical companies or device manufacturers need to increase the sales of newly developed drugs or devices in order to generate adequate profits” (Rehman, 2015). Here, as we witness in the case study, the pharmaceutical company did not really focus much of their time on the trial studies. The animal trials should have lasted longer before moving on to Phase I of the human trials. If this had been done then their might not have been any casualties in Phase II. BESPC just wanted to increase the trial period so they can start mass-producing the product and getting profit. The company should have used a non-maleficence approach where their goal ought to have been to do no harm with the

The Japanese empire was an inspirational country to other Asians that spearheaded the fight against the European imperialism. After the Meiji restoration, emperor’s decided that the modernization of Japan was going to begin and in order for it to be a success, the government had to change which also influenced Japanese culture as well, “…restored authority faced new dangers in a new age… rootless and masterless samurai, the traditional fighting class – had been one source of trouble” (Roberts, p. 63). Moreover, this change also increased the Japanese people’s nationalism but want to continue their journey for imperialism because of the samurai having military leadership role, this stressed the importance of loyalty to society. Education was highly influenced by other countries because of British roles that already existed in Japan “For a long time, Japanese naval cadets had been sent to Great Britain for training.

But it is worth mentioning that all of this changes were also propelled to protect Japan from the foreigners. Therefore, to some people, this book seems to self-orientalise how Japan could only achieve its modernity in its own unique way which might have appeared to be improbable to other countries facing the same challenges at that period of time. But if we account the history, we can notice that there were also external factors playing a part that forced them to impose a strict social order either nationally or internationally. One of the approach they had taken to achieve this was the Closed Country Edict of

Critical issued of the appropriateness of conducting clinical trials in emerging countries has arisen over years. Being a leading company in biopharmaceutical industry, Novo Nordisk faces the critiques of whether it is justice to offshoring their clinical trials in developing economies. With the consistency of ethical principles brought up by Novo Nordisk, the company would be able to move their trials into emerging economies with the best interest for stakeholders. I will also propose ideas to Mr, Dejgaard for possible approach to media as well as the practices that Novo Nordisk could have changed over time at the end.

For example, Vedula (2012) notes that FDA guidelines state pharmaceutical companies can use peer-reviewed articles to publicize evidence of a drug’s effectiveness for off-label uses, as long as a number of conditions are met—perhaps the most essential of which is that “the information disseminated must not be false or misleading.” However, Vedula continues, there is no unyielding regulation that all research findings have to be published. Therefore, a company can still choose to selectively disseminate favorable findings. His article concludes that there is now a copious amount of evidence that suggests selective reporting of study results, based on the strength and direction of findings, is performed extensively by the pharmaceutical industry.

From 1868 to 1912, Japan experienced a period of vigorous reform and modernization called the Meiji Restoration. When the Meiji period began Japan was a militarily weak, mostly agricultural country that could not compete against the industrialized western nations. At the end of the restoration, Japan had achieved a working, highly centralized government supported by the people, a constitution implementing an elected parliament, a western-like transport and communication system, a highly educated population, a rapidly growing industrial economy, and a powerful army and navy on par with many of the western nations’. Japan’s story is one of great success, unity, and pride, one that is virtually unrivaled throughout modern human history. The Meiji

Japan is an unique oriental country in many aspects, especially in politics and economy, both western practices and traditional nationalism are coexisted in this country. The period 1890-1940 was just followed the Meiji restoration, and was typical in the history of Japan, at that time, Japan was on the way from a feudal country to a capitalistic country, called modernization. Many western practices were being more and more adopted, however, at the same time, traditional rules still had strong influences in Japan. Under this background, this report will discuss the Japanese cultural factors during 1890-1940 that influenced the disclosure

The culture of a place is an integral part of its society whether that place is a remote Indian village in Brazil or a highly industrialized city in Western Europe. The culture of Japan fascinates people in the United States because, at first glance, it seems so different. Everything that characterizes the United States--newness, racial heterogeneity, vast territory, informality, and an ethic of individualism-- is absent in Japan. There, one finds an ancient and homogeneous society, an ethic that emphasizes the importance of groups, and a tradition of formal behavior governing every aspect of daily living, from drinking tea to saying hello. On the surface at least, U.S. and Japanese

In Takashi Inoguchi’s latest publication, Japanese Politics: An Introduction, one of the foremost political scientists in Japan, Takashi Inoguchi thoroughly delves into two decades of Japanese history. The first period 1983-1993, and the second 1994-2004 sandwich the fall of the 1955 political system and era of one party dominance. There is a unique perspective that the author is able to provide due to his tenure as a professor of political science in the Institute of Oriental Culture at the University of Tokyo as well as Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations. His wife is also a well-respected political scientist who sat on the House of Representatives and had several other notable accomplishments, thus providing a truly unique perspective from the author’s point of view.
