[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper discussing conditions within Japan's stock market since 1989. That year, the Nikkei average approached 40,000 but it lost more than 60 percent of that value by the end of 1990. After some false starts, the Nikkei appeared to be recovering but the Asian currency crisis and the fall of the Japanese banking industry curtailed that advance. The market appears to have stabilized, and the nation's economy is healthier as well. The paper recommends that investors still use caution, however. Foreign funds are pouring into Tokyo, but locals have been selling for months. There may be further corrections in the market, but it is seen to be on a path of overall growth. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

“Dimensions of Japanese Society: Gender, Margins and Mainstream”
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page review of the book by Kenneth Henshall. The author of this paper asserts that this book is not the typical exploration of Japanese society that we have come to expect from the modern press. The book distinguishes itself from the vast majority of the work written on Japan and her culture, in fact, in that it delves not only into the mainstream of Japanese culture but also the marginal aspects of that culture. Included is an expose on issues such as homosexuality and patriarchal domination, and the various other factors which serve to marginalize certain components of Japanese society. No additional sources are listed.
