Japan in a Globalized Community
This course examines the history of Japan in Asia, and how this legacy impacts dealings with its Asian neighbors. How is Japan optimizing it's position in Asia and how are these efforts seen by others in the region? How do Japanese cultural exports work to change perceptions of Japan and the Japanese people in countries once colonized by Japan? How is Japan opening up to people from other countries in Asia and where does it fall short as a regional leader?
Reflective Narrative |
This course was one of the most challenging I had taken in my time at CSUMB. Each class required 20+ pages of reading on various articles with classroom discussions being a big part of the course. One of the greatest advantages of his particular course was that half of the class was divided perfectly in half between Japanese and American students allowing for discussions to be more in depth. This course allowed me to gain a higher perspective in looking at Japan's position in both the Asian continent and the world stage.
