Japan its history and culture

Japan its history and culture #15
 
           While I only summarized the topic of culture and industrial growth above, I expanded
on the concept with some additional research. I found the following book “japan its history
and culture” by W.Scott that deals with the history and culture of the
Japanese people and its economic development. The book narrates about the social changes
that have happened in the recent years. It takes into account the social events and political
changes that have occurred in japan since the post war industrial growth and development.

Furthermore, I found the book “ The Japanese Experience” by W.G. Beasley that deals with
the same content. This book also talks about the culture of the Japanese people and how they
have changed in recent years. This book takes into account how technology and the culture of
the Japanese people has shaped their culture. I found out that there is a significant relationship
between culture and development as witnessed by the culture of the Japanese people which
has propelled them to economic development.

In these books, I found out that there are several factors that enhance the culture of people.
Through language many people like the Japanese people, have enhanced their culture. While
researching on this topic I also noted that development and culture are influenced by ideas
and institutions which help to propel the contents of the peoples’ culture. The changing
society and culture of the modern world is greatly depended on the history of the people.i will
summarize this research nothing that although culture is a complicated issue, there are several
distinct characteristics which are only found in a given group of people like the Japanese.
