Aimlessness hashardly been typical of the postwar Japan whose productivity
and social harmonyare the envy of the United States and Europe. But increasingly
the Japanese areseeing a decline of the traditional work-moral values. Ten years
ago youngpeople were hard-working and saw their jobs as their primary reason for
being,but now Japan has largely fulfilled its economic needs, and young people
don'tknow where they should go next。
The coming of age of the postwar baby boom and an entry of womeninto the
male-dominated job market have limited the opportunities of teen-agerswho are
already questioning the heavy personal sacrifices involved in climbingJapan's
rigid social ladder to good schools and jobs. In a recent survey, itwas found
that only 24.5 percent of Japanese students were fully satisfied withschool
life, compared with 67.2 percent of students in the United States. Inaddition,
far more Japanese workers expressed dissatisfaction with their jobsthan did
their counterparts in the 10 other countries surveyed。
While often praised by foreigners for its emphasis on the basics,Japanese
education tends to stress test taking and mechanical learning overcreativity and
self-expression。“Those things that do not show up in the test
scores—personality,ability, courage or humanity―are completely ignored,” says
Toshiki Kaifu,chairman of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's education
committee。“Frustrationagainst this kind of thing leads kids to drop out and run
wild。” Last yearJapan experienced 2,125 incidents of school violence, including
929 assaults onteachers. Amid the outcry, many conservative leaders are seeking
a return tothe prewar emphasis on moral education. Last year Mitsuo Setoyama,
who was theneducation minister, raised eyebrows when he argued that liberal
reformsintroduced by the American occupation authorities after World
WarⅡhadweakened the “Japanese morality of respect for parents。”
But that may have more to do with Japanese life-styles. “ In Japan,”
sayseducator Yoko Muro,“it's never a question of whether you enjoy your job and
your life,but only how much you can endure。” With economic growth has come
centralization; fully 76 percent ofJapan's 119 million citizens live in cities
where community and the extendedfamily have been abandoned in favor of isolated,
two generation households.Urban Japanese have long endured lengthy commutes
(travels to and from work)and crowded living conditions, but as the old group
and family values weaken,the discomfort is beginning to tell. In the past
decade, the Japanese divorcerate, while still well below that of the United
States, has increased by morethan 50 percent, and suicides have increased by
nearly one-quarter。
