Japan has a strong, independent culture. Despite the influence other countries may have on Japanese media, the traditions that make Japan unique will not change. I seriously doubt they will.

Although I must say I am greatly disappointed with America. Having lived there my whole life I know that the majority of people do not care how they are judged. There is an ideal of getting away with anything even in other countries, which gives all Americans a bad reputation.

When I go to Japan, I will not tell people that I am American because it may close opportunities for me.
