Taking a Look at Japan

There were plenty of rivers as well. These separated the people apart from each other and kept things more secluded. The seclusion kept people apart so there were different ideas which at times would cause the government some trouble whilst trying to keep things under control. The climate in Japan was not very hot or very cold it would snow and there would be a lot of heat but not all year around, it’d change with the seasons.

Through the Geography 101 course, I have become increasingly familiar with certain concepts that are easily applicable to cities and countries that I am familiar with. These concepts help me fully understand the geographic situation occurring in these locations. One location that has been brought up many times throughout the semester and I have increased with familiarity is Japan. This location is constantly changing and growing. It exports many different vehicle and machinery parts, and is at the forefront of technology and the revolution that follows. Though I do not have any personal connections to the country of Japan, I know that has important geographical traits and occurrences that affect the population and cultural geographies, the agricultural and economic geographies, and the political and urban geographies of the country.

The earliest inhabitant of the Japanese islands was hunter-gatherers. They were people who traveled in the woods and hunted down their food. They would hunt down deer, ducks, and doe . hunter –gatherers also ate fruits off tree or plants. Prehistoric Japan is divided into three major cultures: Jomn , Yaogoi, and ,Kofun. Jomn caused the sea level to rise and isolate Japanese from the Chinese mainland.

With all of the hustle and bustle from the city and busy lives, they still make time for planting a garden, flowers, trees or picking up trash in parks. “…professing a love for nature while simultaneously pursuing environmentally unsustainable lifestyles” ("About Japan: A Teacher's Resource | Nature and the Environment in Postwar Japan | Japan Society”). Japan's love of nature isn't like anything else, they have a delicate touch for nature. “Grass-roots environmental groups have flourished in Japan in recent years and many Japanese corporations are world leaders in the development of environmentally sensitive technologies” ("About Japan: A Teacher's Resource | Nature and the Environment in Postwar Japan | Japan Society”). After the attacks on their country, they still wanted to nourish their land so it can thrive for the

The islands of Japan are really just the tops of undersea mountains and volcanoes. About only 20% of land is flat, and most of that land already has people living there. The Japanese people didn’t have a written language, until they learned the Chinese language. Seafood, was and is a main part of life due to living surrounded by the sea. Japan had different “cast” or societies. Life for the Emperor, Shogun, daimyo, Samurai, and peasants were all different; it was hard for some and easy for others.

Japan is one of the world’s most successful democracies and largest economies. The U.S and Japanese alliance is one of the cornerstones of modern society. Which has led to more fundamental and regional stability and prosperity for both countries. The alliance is based on shared vital interests and values. Both countries support preservation and promotion of political and economic freedoms as well as the support for of human rights. This paper is focused on the comparison between U.S and Japan.

You ever wonder what the why people from all over come to the United States, what could be so different from their home compared to ours. Even Japan, the United States and Japan have many things in common, but then again they do have many different thing. The US and Japan are similar/different because of their social status, myths/legends, and cars. Theses 3 types may have different examples to them but both the US and Japan can relate to them.

Japan is located in the region of geologic instability known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. Due to where Japan is located there are approximately fifteen hundred earthquakes each year and is also subject to floods, blizzards, typhoons, and due to volcanic activity on the ocean floor Japan is also subject to Tsunamis. Japan’s most recognized volcano even though it’s no longer active and has been dormant for years is Mount Fuji with a cone-shaped peak of 12,388 feet and is about 70 miles southwest of Tokyo. Japan is made up of more than 3,000 islands scattered off the eastern coast of mainland Asia. The Japanese call there islands Nippon which means “source of the sun” and others may interpret it as “Land of the Rising Sun.” There are four major

Have you ever wondered about other countries outside of the United States? Have you thought about how different their foods, religions, and languages are from yours? There are many countries that are very different from the United States, especially Japan. Japan is only a short 6,000 miles away from the United States, but have strikingly different foods, religions, and languages. Now then, let’s see how much different the United States is from Japan.

Globalisation has had a profound impact on the Japanese economy influencing levels of international trade, business operations, financial flows, government policy, labour markets and even environment. This movement has been driven primarily by numerous TNCs, trade liberalization, and the deregulation of the financial system, and numerous strategies adopted by the Government and Economy, resulting in the creation of a 'new' Japan.

One of the main topological features of Japan is the many mountains that are positioned down the middle of the country, taking up 85% of the land (Yale Geography). A majority of these mountains have formed over time due to past volcanic activity. The fact that mountains do take up a large portion of the land has had a significant impact on the agriculture of the land, as there are not many areas left that are suitable for agriculture or even to reside in. This is why there are areas of condensed agricultural activity, as well as population, found throughout the land. While the islands of Japan are all for the most part temperate zones, the latitudinal stretch of the land and the bodies of water that surround them do impact the climate.

Our company is now in their fifth year of business, and we want to market our product which happens to be the Naim Mu-so QB, which is a music player. The country I and my company choose to sell our product to the country Japan. We base our choice for the pure reason that Japan is a great country to export to and receive good profit in return. Japan as a whole is a very technological country so it won’t be added to them have something of great value. The music in Japan is very electric and diverse. People there are also very into music, they even have a global activity originated in Japan, which is called Karaoke. This activity is played everywhere. Of course, if we want to export to Japan, looking at the Gross Domestic Product is one of the key features in any profit making decision. According to Japan Demographics the GDP in Japan is taped at 4.92 trillion dollars, which is by the way third largest in the world. Since, their GDP is at that amount their GDP per capita is at 33,633.71 per person. These facts show there’s a great possibility the people living in Japan will most likely be able to buy our music player. The population in any country does play a role in whether it’s a good place to sell to because, of that country needs great amount of people willing to buy the seller 's product. According to the Japan Demographics, Japan’s population stands at 127 million people so they have a lot of people to sell to. According Japan’s Unemployment Rate, the unemployment rate
