"We don't need to get ahead..." That is the typical opinion of current Japanese high school students. Mainichi Newspaper reported on April 24 that it was found that the motivation to get ahead in Japanese high school students is low, according to an investigation for motivation of high school students in America, China, South Korea, and Japan.
One of the questions was, "Do you want to succeed in the world?". The percentage of students who answered, "Yes, I strongly think so." was as follows: 34.4% in China, 22.9% in Korea, 22.3% in America, 8% in Japan.
I can quite understand this situation. People, especially, Japanese youngsters are quite suffering and struggling under a stodgy society. They are sensitive enough to know that current society and coming future are quite different from the past Japan where relatively majority of citizens could live positively by getting a wave of steadily growing economy.
When youngsters start to give up for their futures, it will be the time for the country to slip into a melancholy decline.
P.S. Having said that like above, actually, I don't think that Japanese youngsters are totally paralyzed. I can feel some buds in the depth of their mind that may be next theme of my second book.
Thank you for visiting and have a nice day!
P.S. I am listing my debut volume, "Falling Japan ~On The Verge of Bankruptcy and Destruction" on ebay. Please take a look at the auction page.
