What are the similarities between Japan and the US?

Answer 1

# USA is nearly twenty times the land area of Japan. But the population is not in that proportion.

2. USA owes its civilizational underpinnings and culture to Europe. Japan is an Asian, Oriental society much in contrast.

3. Japan's prosperity is in its ant-like hardworking nature of the people. USA is anything but that.

4. USA is endowed with many Natural Resources in abundance, which is the cause for its prosperity and will continue in future too. Japan is scantily endowed with such things; yet by persevering and by dint of hardwork they built a huge export driven economy. It will continue to prosper for the same reason.

5. Japanese society is like a monoculture. It is highly homogenous, where a non-Japanese sticks out like a sore thumb. USA is built up as a social group of immigrants; utterly heterogenous and every trait has (social or political) its root elsewhere, notwithstanding what her politicians crow about.

6. The very serious demanour of Japanese attitude in contrast to the American attitude makes the latter almost frivolous. Or the American light-hearted attitude makes the Japanese attitude very grave in comparison.

# Both are in the temperate zone, with the ocean current 'Kurosio' doing to Japan what 'Gulf stream' is doing to eastern sea-board of USA.

2. Both are acclaimed as rich nations, members of G-6 and what not. Both are knowledge driven societies with high premium placed on services like Medicine, Engineering, Science and Technology, which makes them role models for all (without exception) other countries. For a person with these skills who is made to feel welcomed, all national barriers or ethnic/Jingoistic perceptions melt away. Very few countries can boast of this national trait.
