yes I think everyone agree with youOriginally Posted by Golgo_13
but you don't say if you like it or not
(you'll probably answer that there is nothing you can do about it, no ?
Just little me!!! But maybe a little taller
You grow up, every day. Every second...
I like it that Japan has become a modern, industrially and technologically advanced nation.Originally Posted by yimija
I don't like it that this has put a strain on people's lives, e.g. stress, poor health habits, pollution, extinction of wild animals (there have been wolves and wildcats until the end of 19the century; there are very few bears left), etc.
But overall, positives far outweigh the negatives, and yes, there's nothing I can do about it, and I'm not bitching about it.
yes, good, I agree that we can be proud of the technological and industrial state of Japan.Originally Posted by Golgo_13
yes, this success have negative sides, and you mention some of them, important ones.
I'm not sure that positive outweight negative, it depends in which situations and of course there is not much we can do, progress goes too fast for little one as we are can catch up with and try to stop...

expedition to the unknown c.asia vol.1-2 (sven hedin??) :scientists all over europe examines newly discovered material at uygur territories discussing being modern...they met several archaeologists from japan (ealy1900's).Euros sure about that japan is successful at that time because of using west tech.nics.there is a great hegemony about west that no alternative way exists.Japan has been westernized but without dropping out own morals totally.
they say that people never believed in marco polo because such stories about greater civilisations is impossible nor the equals...west is the chosen peoples lands forever...
so Tarzan is a white instead of being asian or anything else...
japan ,is among the west club housing east, has been westernized for 150 years.japan proves that alternative style of being modern exists.
(scientists try to discover how 'll they explain the words west/east/left/right those whom coming from far universe )
no, Tarzan is white because the story was written by a white writer, and was played by Johnny Weissmuller.Originally Posted by aaltunn
If a Japanes had written the story, Tarzan would be the descendant of a proud japanese warrior and a lovely geisha.
