marriage divorce children

In Japan, divorcing was not a common thing. Once you were married, you were expected to stay married for as long as you live. Therefore, there were many middle-aged married couples who were not satisfied with their partner or life. However, in recent Japan, divorcing is not so uncommon. There are numerous TV shows where they teach the audience when the best timing for a divorce is, or how to sue your partner for the most money in the case of a divorce. Though this may increase the number of happier adults, this is a very bad influence to children.

Marriage in Japan has also changed in the recent years. In Japan, it used to be common for people, especially women, to get married at a younger age(maybe early 20s). Nowadays, women are getting married at a much older age(maybe late 20s, early 30s). This may be because the number of women who want to work are increasing. Until recently, the culture of the Japan was that men do the work, and women do the housework. Due to the globalization and wenternalization of Japan, this idea is now thought of as discrimination.

This leads to the change in the way Japanese couples think of children. Before all the changes of marriage and divorce in Japan, it was probably much easier to have children. Now, you have to think about your age, what to do if the wife still wants to work after having the baby, if the couple will be able to continue a good relationship, and the number of children they are caplable of raising. Some couples just don't have kids becasue they feel that they will not be capable of raising a child if they are both working full time. This may be part of the reason why Japan has and will have the problem of Aged Society.

dating in japan and america

I feel that there are differences between dating in Japan and dating in America. First of all, the events you spend with your girlfriend/boyfriend is different. For example, in the US the winter holidays is spent with your family. In Japan, it is considered normal for couples to spend time together on Christmas. On the other hand, I think it is common for Americans to spend time with girlfriend/boyfriend or friends on new years eve. In japan, new years eve is usually spent at home with your family. Another difference is the formality. In the US, I feel it is common for people to introduce your partner to your parents or friends even if they don't think they will get married. Japanese are usually very conservative about their relationship, and keep it to themselves until they feel that they have a steady and lasting relationship. Lastly, I don't think popularity or race has much effect on a relationship in Japan. There isn't really any need to find someone with the same rank, though it can be prefered at times. Nonetheless, I feel that Japanese society enables more freedom when it comes to relationships.
