This document summarizes cultural aspects of Japan that would be relevant for hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It discusses Japan's core values of respect and community over independence. It outlines the changing position of women in the workforce, with more pursuing careers instead of traditional housewife roles, contributing to declining birth rates. The treatment of foreign residents is examined, noting both welcoming and prejudiced perspectives. Stereotyping in Japanese advertising is also summarized, with traditional gender roles often depicted and younger women more frequently sexualized. The document concludes with overviews of the LGBT community facing discrimination and regulations around advertising to children.
An overview of poverty levels within ethnic communities in the US. Governmental attempts at a baseline. Five types of capital formation within a capitalist infrastructure as pathways out. This is the basis of the video at https://vimeo.com/vivgrigg/uspoverty
This document provides an overview of global inequality and stratification. It begins by outlining the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, which aimed to reduce extreme poverty around the world by 2015. Progress was made in some areas like poverty, education, and health, but many goals were not fully achieved. The document then discusses different frameworks for understanding global stratification, including Wallerstein's world systems approach which categorizes countries in a global economic hierarchy as core, semi-peripheral or peripheral nations. Finally, it examines how terminology has evolved over time to describe levels of development among countries.
This document discusses factors that contribute to global and domestic inequalities. It introduces dependency theory, which argues that poorer countries are disadvantaged in the international system through exploitation by richer countries. Global factors like colonialism created economic gaps by exploiting resources from colonies. The structure of the world economy also favors richer nations. Domestically, overpopulation, unemployment, and the legacy of colonial social divisions contribute to inequality. Dependency theory asserts that underdeveloped countries must isolate from capitalist states to gain independence.
This document discusses global inequalities of income, wealth, and social development. It covers topics like geoeconomics, trends in global income inequality within and between countries, debates around measuring global inequality, and forms of social inequality regarding human development, health, gender, race, and ethnicity. Specific data on global trends in life expectancy, literacy rates, and school enrollment by gender are presented. Causes of health inequalities and continuing challenges relating to inequalities based on gender, race, and ethnicity are also examined.
The anti-globalization movement had its coming-out party in Seattle in 1999, when thousands of activists and trade union members protested against a new round of trade negotiations in the World Trade Organisation. Millions were drawn to these protests because of a preceding anti-WTO statement that was circulated on the internet, and signed by about 1 500 different groups, from churches to militant communists.
Role of Agriculture and Rural Development in Poverty AlleviationTri Widodo W. UTOMO
The document discusses strategies for alleviating rural poverty through agricultural development and empowering local communities. It argues that poverty remains a major problem in rural areas due to lack of economic opportunities and disparities between rural and urban areas. Effective strategies should focus on improving small-scale agriculture and cooperatives to boost rural economies and empowering local people through participation in decision making, training, and access to resources and markets.

Narrated public lecture of growing u.s. income inequalitydenny4573
The document summarizes the major findings from a book and lecture about growing income inequality in the United States. It finds that absolute income inequality is increasing, the middle class is shrinking, and poverty has been increasing. Additionally, it finds that U.S. multinational corporations cause more inequality both domestically and globally, and that there are huge inequalities between different areas of the U.S.
This document summarizes a study on poverty transitions in rural Bangladesh between 1996-97 and 2006-07. It finds that while poverty declined substantially over this period, some households remained chronically poor. Initial characteristics like education levels and assets affected poverty status, as did common shocks like illness and death of earners. Life histories revealed that dowry payments combined with health expenses sometimes pushed households into chronic poverty. The study concludes there is still work to do in increasing education, building assets, and providing protection from risks like illness through mechanisms like microinsurance.
The document discusses growing inequality between wealthy nations and poor nations. Some key points:
- 80% of the world's population lives on only 20% of global income. The U.S. uses 30% of resources with only 5% of population.
- The World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than $1.25 per day. 1.4 billion people live in extreme poverty.
- Literacy rates, malnutrition rates, and lack of access to health care are indicators of poverty levels within and between countries.
The economic crisis has disproportionately impacted communities of color due to pre-existing inequalities. Universal policies alone fail to address differing circumstances. An approach called "targeted universalism" acknowledges disparities while promoting inclusion and targeting marginalized groups. It recognizes interdependence and advocates systemic interventions to spur transformative change for everyone's benefit.
The document discusses global inequalities and patterns of development. It provides statistics showing large disparities between developed and developing countries in areas like income, access to resources, education and health outcomes. Over a billion people live on under $1 per day, while the wealthiest few individuals possess as much as the poorest countries combined. Development indicators also show uneven progress, with LEDCs having lower GDP, literacy and life expectancy than MEDCs.
It gives a complete idea of various ways to reduce the gap between the rich and poor people in India and finding the ways of such an inequality in income
- The Chinese population in Malaysia has been declining rapidly compared to other ethnic groups due to institutionalized discrimination and government policies favoring Malays. Many educated Chinese youth are emigrating abroad for university and not returning.
- Between 1980-1991, the Chinese population grew by only 530,000 while the total Malaysian population grew by over 4.6 million. Chinese population growth has also slowed while other ethnic groups have grown rapidly.
- With more Chinese youth emigrating and smaller family sizes, the Chinese population is aging rapidly with many elderly Chinese parents being left behind while their children live abroad. This trend is driven by the high cost of education and desire for better opportunities overseas.
The document discusses income inequality and GDP growth in several countries by examining their Gini coefficients. It finds that India and Mexico have relatively high Gini coefficients, indicating high income inequality, while Denmark and countries with low Gini coefficients tend to have greater GDP growth. The US has high wealth inequality though also has one of the largest economies. Singapore has the highest income inequality among developed OECD countries. Government transfers are effective at reducing inequality in most countries.
The document discusses income inequality, which is the gap between rich and poor in terms of wealth and income distribution. It provides data on income inequality ratios between the richest and poorest 10% of populations in various countries. Income inequality varies between societies, economic systems, and over time. There are various ways to measure economic inequality numerically, including Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients. The document then discusses some of the key causes of income inequality like changes in labor markets, globalization, technology, and tax policies. It also discusses some of the impacts and trade-offs of income inequality.
The document discusses the issue of homelessness in the United States. It notes that the number of homeless people continues to rise each year for various reasons, including poverty and economic recession. The poverty level remains high as the economy struggles, foreclosures increase, and finding jobs becomes more difficult. Several nonprofit organizations work to address homelessness through research, prevention programs, and fundraising to help the homeless population.
The document discusses three scenarios for managing migration from Mexico to the United States: (1) keeping the current quota of green cards, (2) cutting legal migration for one year, or (3) increasing quotas for skilled workers while reducing unskilled migration. Over 11% of Mexico's population lives abroad, with 143,000 Mexican migrants receiving green cards in 2012 alone. The U.S. government faces pressure to reduce Mexican immigration as tensions rise.
Third World countries have several characteristics that contribute to their low levels of development, including subsistence agricultural economies, high birth rates, high illiteracy, poor health, and low per capita incomes. Subsistence farming leaves them vulnerable to natural disasters and trade barriers imposed by industrialized nations. High birth rates strain limited resources, and high illiteracy rates hamper economic and social progress. Poor health is widespread due to issues like malnutrition, disease, and lack of access to medical care. Together, these factors have kept Third World nations in a cycle of poverty.

This document summarizes opposing viewpoints on whether inequality matters for poverty reduction. It discusses the World Bank's perspective that inequality does not necessarily hinder poverty alleviation if economic growth occurs. However, Robert Wade and Simon Maxwell argue that inequality complicates anti-poverty efforts and should be reduced simultaneously with poverty. The author ultimately agrees with Wade and Maxwell, concluding that inequality and poverty are intertwined and comprehensive strategies are needed that incorporate both economic and human development factors to effectively reduce poverty and inequality.
This document discusses concepts of poverty reduction, development, and sustainable development in the Nepali context. It defines poverty as a lack of basic needs, capabilities, and freedoms. Poverty is caused by lack of assets, voice, and vulnerability. Efforts in Nepal to reduce poverty through economic growth, social services, targeted programs and good governance have faced challenges from political instability and conflict. Ending poverty requires building human, physical, financial, natural, and social capital. True development is a participatory process that meets peoples' basic needs and allows them to realize their potential with dignity. Development and poverty reduction depend on supportive cultures, policies, and empowering local participation.
This document discusses various social and economic problems facing Pakistan. It identifies key social issues like poverty, illiteracy, corruption, unemployment, child labor, and health problems. The major economic problems include power crises, the war on terrorism, declining exports, a tumbling stock market, lack of tourism, and loss of business. It provides details on the causes and impacts of each problem, noting how social and economic issues are interlinked and pose significant challenges to developing a problem-free society.
劉遵義 Income inequality under economic globalisation(final) 20150414Andy Kuo
The document discusses income inequality under economic globalization. It examines how globalization and technological changes have contributed to rising income inequality within and between countries. While globalization has helped lift many people out of poverty, it has also been a factor in increasing national income disparities and declining wages in some developed countries. The Gini coefficient is presented as a common measure of income inequality, with higher values indicating greater inequality.
The document discusses homelessness as a global issue that has many causes and serious effects. It provides statistics showing that millions of people worldwide are homeless due to issues like poverty, lack of affordable housing, unemployment, natural disasters, and more. Homelessness has negative mental and physical impacts, especially on children, and the document suggests ways people can help address the problem.
The document discusses income inequality and the Occupy Wall Street movement. It defines income inequality as the uneven distribution of income among a population. In the U.S., the gap between rich and poor has grown significantly over the past 30 years. Occupy Wall Street protested in 2011 against social and economic inequality and the control large financial institutions have. The movement drew attention to the fact that the top 20% of Americans control over half the country's wealth. Income inequality is a global issue and the gap between rich and poor continues to widen both in developed and developing nations.

The document discusses how Japan experienced rapid population aging due to declining fertility rates and how the "lost decade" of economic hardship in the 1990s exacerbated this issue. It notes that during this time, deregulation led to a large increase in temporary employment, which had lower marriage rates than regular jobs. As fertility in Japan is primarily within marriage, lower marriage rates likely decreased fertility and accelerated population aging. The document examines how economic changes during the lost decade influenced the labor market, marriage trends, and ultimately fertility rates in Japan.
Japan is commonly thought of as an egalitarian society with limited poverty, but it actually has significant layers of inequality. The map shows that the prefecture with the highest percentage of households receiving welfare is Osaka at 4.35%, while nearly one in six Japanese families live below the poverty line. There are also large regional, rural-urban, and gender disparities. Japanese culture values humility and "keeping face", which hides economic inequality and poverty. As a result, the government does little to address class issues. While income disparities are lower than many countries, Japan's tax system does not always benefit the needy, and more children now live in poverty than the OECD average.
This presentation is about the past, present and future ongoing of Japan's culture, politics, stress at work, feminism, women empowerment, youth and education
This document summarizes a student paper that examines social factors contributing to Japan's rapid aging population. It explores three Japanese demographics - parasite singles, hikikomori, and herbivore men - that show disinterest in marriage and relationships. While these groups may impact fertility rates, Japan's fertility decline predates them. The paper determines that Japan's work culture, with its long hours and expectations, makes it difficult for women to have both a career and children, presenting an "either-or dilemma." Government policies to increase births have also proven insufficient. The paper concludes that significant fertility increases require changes to make the work environment more supportive of working mothers.
This document discusses Japan's potential bid to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup. It outlines several cultural and social factors that would need to be considered for Japan's bid, including its treatment of women, workforce equality, stereotyping, advertising to children, treatment of immigrants, and stance on LGBT rights. Specifically, it notes that while gender inequality remains a problem in Japan due to traditional gender roles, the country has taken steps to promote equality through new laws and programs. It argues that hosting the World Cup could help advance gender equality and provide economic opportunities. The document examines these issues in the context of evaluating Japan as a prospective host nation.

Presentation addresses the current economic challenges in Japan that have arisen due to the dramatic demographic shift.
Prepared by Robert Wensley, Harvard University, Summer 2011
The document discusses gender inequality and discrimination against women in contemporary Japan. It summarizes research showing that Japanese society expects women to become housewives and prioritizes their domestic duties after marriage over career aspirations. However, some Japanese women are rejecting these traditional gender roles and pushing for more equal treatment. The document argues that in order for Japan to continue advancing as a developed nation, it needs to eliminate longstanding discrimination against women and allow them greater freedom to pursue careers and lifestyles of their choosing.
This document summarizes a book report on "Advancing Decent Work Amidst Deepening Inequalities in Asia" by Prof. Rene Ofreneo. It discusses the stark realities of poverty and inequality in Asia despite economic growth. While some countries have reduced poverty, issues remain such as unemployment, poor conditions for informal workers, gender imbalances, and child labor. The document also examines the concept of "decent work" promoted by the ILO, which focuses on employment, social security, social dialogue, and workers' rights. Prof. Ofreneo argues for policies that strengthen unions, provide social protection for all, and establish standards to curb unreasonable practices by transnational corporations.
GEOGRAPHY CAMBRIDGE IGCSE: GOVERNMENT POPULATION POLICY - KENYA, INDIA, JAPANGeorge Dumitrache
The document discusses population policies in Kenya, India, and Japan. It notes that Kenya began a national family planning campaign in the 1960s focused on matching population size to available resources through local health officials in rural areas. India introduced its first population campaign poster in 1952 and declared a "Population State of Emergency" in the 1970s that involved forced sterilizations, though it was not successful. Currently, India's policy aims to advance women's status. Japan faces a declining birth rate of 1.35 births per woman, which leaders view as a threat as the elderly population increases; some localities now offer parents monetary incentives to have children.
The document discusses Japan's declining population trends and projections. It notes that Japan's population peaked in 2008 at 128 million and will decline to around 86 million by 2060, with 40% of the population being over 65. This aging and shrinking population will impact the economy, communities, and social security. The government aims to slow population decline and stabilize around 90 million by improving birth rates from the current 1.42 to around 1.8 by 2030 and 2.07 by 2040-2050, the replacement level. Various measures have been taken since the 1990s to encourage childrearing and support families.
A Chronicle of Marketing Practices and Consumer Culture in Japaninventionjournals
This paper addresses the marketing practices and consumer culture of Japan. After describing certain aspects of the history of Japan, as it relates to the Western influence of consumerism and marketing in Japan, we consider current Japanese consumer behavior and culture and how it has been influenced by the West, and how, in spite of this influence, how it is unique in several way. We then note how this behavior is changing, the reasons for this changing, and how these changes offer several challenges and opportunities to marketers wishing to participate in the Japanese market

This document discusses Michael Porter's theory of national competitive advantage and how it can be applied to analyze Japan's economy. Porter's theory examines how factors such as country context, strategy/structure/rivalry of firms in an industry, and related/supporting industries influence national competitiveness. The document will outline Porter's theory and validate a suggested answer about Japan's competitive advantage by applying Porter's analytical framework to examine Japan's industries and economic conditions.
This document discusses modernity in Japan with references to the novel Woman in the Dunes by Abe Kōbo. It examines whether Japan achieved modernity through a miracle that could be reproduced elsewhere in Asia. While Japan modernized in some ways through industrialization, it also maintained many continuities from the past like its social hierarchy and emphasis on collective identity. The document analyzes challenges facing modern Japan like its aging population, low birth rate, gender inequality, and relations with China. It explores themes in Woman in the Dunes of escaping modern alienation and the conflict between nature and modernity.
Modernity and Today’s Japan discusses Japan's path to modernization and issues it faces today. Key points:
- 50 years ago, Japan was the only Asian country seen as achieving modernity, though questions remain if it was truly a "miracle" that could be reproduced.
- Modernity is complex with both continuities from tradition and changes from global influences. Works like Woman in the Dunes explore this tension.
- Current issues include an aging population, low birthrate, gender inequality, high suicide rates, and defining national identity amid changes in geopolitics. The impact of disasters like Fukushima also challenge Japanese society.
This document discusses modernity in Japan with references to the novel Woman in the Dunes by Abe Kōbo. It examines whether Japan achieved modernity through a miracle that could be reproduced elsewhere in Asia. While Japan modernized in some ways through industrialization, it also maintained many continuities from the past like its social hierarchy and emphasis on collective identity. The document analyzes challenges facing modern Japan like its aging population, low birth rate, and the changing role of women. It explores cultural influences from Buddhism, Confucianism and the impact of recent events like the 2011 Fukushima disaster.

The document discusses debates around China's One-Child Policy. While some critics claim the policy has caused problems like an aging population, the Chinese government denies this. In reality, illegal extra children and underreported births mean China won't face serious workforce or aging issues. The document argues aging populations are an inevitable result of development, not a problem, and that addressing economic and social factors can help deal with aging societies. It also argues that abandoning the One-Child Policy would not solve issues like sex-selective abortion and an preference for boys, which are more cultural problems. Overall it concludes the One-Child Policy should continue to be implemented for China's future.

Japan's Core Values:
Japan's core values are largely about looking after one another, respecting the elderly
and knowing ones place to name a few. This is instilled into Japanese children from a
young age. Western culture tends to have a more individualist view on life, where
independence and self-interest are the priority, (Kanagy 2013) which can be seen in
table 1.
Japanese culture is very subtle and nuanced. Japanese people have a strong level of
respect for one another and visitors from overseas, making it a friendly culture for
FIFA to explore. Japan has one foot in the past and one foot in the present; the
blending of the two creates cultural diversity.

Positionof women in the workforce:
The position of women in Eastern countries has changed rapidly within the last 2
decades. However these changes have started to cause concern for the Japanese
government with birth rates on the decline, and an ever-growing ageing population.
Marriage is very much sacrosanct in Japan; however there has been a steep incline in
the divorce rate, at approximately 20%, compared to 2 decades ago when it was as
low as 2%, which is heading towards the western divorce rate of around 50%. (Asian
Demography 2011)
Japanese women are forgoing their traditional housewife role in order to forge a long
lasting career. With more women in Japan and around the world choosing to focus on
a career, has started to have a flow on effect of women putting off or forgetting
marriage all together. This increases at every stage of education. Women's education
in Japan has greatly improved over the last few decades. This increase has changed
women's perceptions on what they really want out of life. This newfound freedom has
allowed the women of Japan to decide if marriage is for them or not. 'Marrying up'
was very much expected due to the fact that female education was not possible to
ascertain and female literacy was very poor. (Asian Demography, 2011) These times
have very much changed as women are now bettering their male counterparts. Table 2
illustrates Asian women in prominent jobs

It can be extremely for Japanese women to juggle a career and bring up a family. One
or the other is bound to suffer, as it can be extremely hard to find a well paying job in
Japan when children are in the picture. Women are also stigmatised for choosing to do
both, communally referred as oniyome (devil wives) (Asian Demography 2011)
These stigmas associated with having a career, a family or both has led to a steep
decline in birth rates. Birth rates in Japan had reached a critical low in 2005 with
1.26%, and then dipped again in 2014 by 0.01%. This rate is well below the 2.07%
that is necessary to maintain the Japanese population. The low birth rates are a major
ongoing issue for the government to combat, which could take decades for this down
turn to rectify itself. Japan's government spending on child rearing and support is
some of the lowest in the world, with just 1% allocated to the future of Japan.
(McDonnell 2013)
It will be hard to make the dramatic increase needed to maintain the Japanese
population, especially when women feel they are forced to make the choice between a
career and family. Living off one wage has become increasingly difficult, so the need
for two wages is almost a necessity. The Japanese government needs to make sure
that the issues that Japanese women face on a daily basis. The fears faced are very
real and integral to society.

Treatment of foreign residents:
2015 has seen approximately 2,800,000 registered foreigners make their home in
Japan. This is an increase of around 40% since the start of the decade. This is a
welcome sign in light of the ageing population and decreasing fertility rate. Foreign
residents are positioned to change the demographic face of Japan.
The multicultural coexistence has become more prevalent in Japan, but still remains
an outlier with one of the lowest percentage of foreign residents. Like many of the
other competing FIFA countries the Japanese public remain divided on the issue of
residential foreigners. Some locals believe that foreign visitors and foreign residents
are adding to the crime rate, by bringing in their own culture and customs. (Hardeep
Singh 2011) This view is not representative of the entire of Japan, but these prejudices
do exist, and are widely prominent in many other countries and cultures.

Stereotyping in Japan:
Japan and the surrounding Asians countries all share cultural similarities based on
Confucianism. The Confucianism culture has been blamed for it's rigid beliefs, where
there is a clear division between the genders. This division has exerted a negative
impact on the discrimination on women. This stereotype permeates directly into
visual advertisements. TV advertisements in Confucian societies are depicted in their
traditional gender roles. (Hagiwara Ivanov Prieler 2015)
The type of product advertised is a strong predictor to the type of primary character to
be used in the advertisement. Female centric products like cosmetics and toiletries
usually depicted by young women in Japan, this is very much in line through different
cultures. The depiction of young women solidifies gender stereotypes in a negative
way, as youth is more sought after than an aging woman. The underrepresentation of
older women in cosmetics advertising subliminally tells this demographic that society
is telling them that they are not as attractive as their younger counterparts. (Hagiwara
Ivanov Prieler 2015) The sexualisation of younger females in Japanese advertising
emphasises the importance of attaining an unrealistic view about one's body, as
viewed below.

Females in Japan are more likely to be found advertising home related products,
allowing the stereotype to continue. The traditional gender role advertisements are
still expected in Confucian society as the traditional gender roles are only just starting
to make a turn around from the norm. This also applies to Japanese men is
advertising. Most male roles in Japanese advertising are a show of strength. The male
demographic in advertising are portrayed as older and wiser. The age concern does
not apply to males in advertising. (Hagiwara Ivanov Prieler 2015) Men in most cases
were fully clothed, where as females, mainly young females were more likely to be
scantly clad. Voice-overs in Television are predominantly done by a male personality
to add a sense of prestige and dominance. This is very much evident in western
advertising.
Stereotypes in a visual medium are very clichéd if not strangely comforting.
Confucian cultures may be some ways off from pushing the advertising stereotypes,
but so is the rest of the world.

LGBT Community - Attitudes/Treatment:
Like much of the world, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and transgender community are
still fighting for the same rights as their heterosexual counterparts. Many Western
governments are now in talks or have implemented the legalisation of gay marriage.
However it is not in the Japanese governments consciousness. This important issue
amongst the large and thriving sexual minorities is largely forgotten, something that
can be seen as Japan's largely 'homophobic' attitude towards queer individuals.
It is a tough subject for the Confucian culture to talk about, let alone act in the best
interests for this community. The Japanese have had a rich culture of homoeroticism
in historical and more contemporary contexts, both in film and Manga, which shows
this minority in a very clichéd but positive light. (Suganuma 2005) This positivity has
dissipated over the decades, which may have been done to keep in line with Western
societies beliefs.
While this is a generalised view of the Japanese people and government, it does not
represent the entire population. There is more understanding about sexual minorities
especially from the younger generations. It will take time, but the attitudes are starting
to swing for the better.

Advertising to children:
Advertising to children in Eastern countries is very desirable for companies; due to
the influence children have on what is purchased by the family. This influence usually
extends to many every-day products and services. Japanese children spend
approximately 1.5 hours a day watching television, which is considerably less than
their American counterparts who average up to 3 hours a day. Japanese children are
consuming less due to rigorous study habits and regular bed times. (Gaumer Shah
2004)
There is juxtaposition when it comes to advertising regulations in Japan compared to
western countries where advertising is very strict when directed to children to
children. Japans' advertising is less regulated concerning children. The difference is
the way the ads are shown in Japan. Japanese children are more attentive to
advertisements and inturn less sceptical to what was shown. This is due to the fact
that adverts in Japan have a soft sell approach, with a more emotional appeal. In the
US the hard sell approach is the norm, and information is direct and to the point.
(Gaumer Shah 2004)
The soft sell approach allows the viewer to become more engaged to what they are
watching. The level of bias is mitigated through the interactions the Japanese children
have with their parents or elders. Japanese children are taught to not be pushy and
demanding, this is why advertising to children in Japan is still somewhat a novelty.

Conclusion:
After tying with South Korea to host the 2004 FIFA World Cup, Japan conceded and
allowed all matches to be played in Korea, with just the final to conclude in Japan.
The Confucian culture has a strong sense of community, something that is greatly
needed in a world that is becoming divided. Japan will bring all cultures together to
create strength in unity.
Japan's cultural attributes align congruently with many of the countries playing in the
FIFA World Cup, however there are some concerns in relation to the inequality
women face on a daily basis. This unfortunately remains a significant and ongoing
issue amongst the competing countries. Inequality also plagues the Lesbian, Bisexual,
Gay and Transgender community. Sexual minorities still face government bias in
relation to gay marriage. Their issues are still regarded as unimportant. However the
wider community in Japan are slowly changing their stance and demanding some
change.
One thing that has not changed is stereotyping in Japanese advertising. Men and
women are portrayed in their traditional gender roles that are very stereotypical.
Advertising to children is still somewhat of a novelty. There are very little advertising
regulations in regards to what is advertised to children. Many Eastern countries adopt
a similar approach, which is culturally different to the way Western countries
approach advertising regulations when it comes to advertising to children.
Japan's cultural differences are varied. There are some concerning aspects, however
the positive aspects about the culture far out way the negative. The Confucian culture
of Japan is the perfect venue to bring the FIFA players and spectators together as a
cohesive whole.
