Japanese banks found their balance sheets loaded with bad debt and they reduced lending. As the stock market plunged and property prices imploded, individuals saw their net worth shrink.

    1. The Japanese has stagnated due to Japanese banks, which had financed much of the boom in asset prices with easy money, now found their balance sheets loaded with bad debt, and they sharply contracted lending and deflation. The Nikkei average plunged from nearly 39,000 points in December 1989 to about 14,300 points in August 1992, thereby losing about 60% of its value. As a result, investors lost the equivalent of (U.S.) $2 trillion and property values plummeted by about $10 trillion. Property values in certain parts of the country declined by 70% and plunged Japan into a deep recession for 10-years.…

    While Japan may still have some problems at the time, they moved forward in such a huge way. The Meiji restoration boomed throughout and modernized Japan by the end of the 1890’s. The Meiji restoration may not have effected other many countries with it’s own internal revolution, but it did revolutionize the entirety of Japan in less than a hundred years. If you ask me, thats incredibly…

    Because no nation has come half so far so fast, Japan is envied by capitalists elsewhere and looked upon as an example to emulate. Thirty years ago, its war-shattered economy was little more than one-third the size of Britain's. Today the Japanese G.N.P. exceeds the combined total of Britain and France, and the gap is certain to widen in the years ahead.…

    My first memory involving religion of any kind is when my grandmother was my temporary Sunday school teacher. This memory had absolutely nothing to do with reading the bible or praying or doing anything of that sort. I have no idea why I remember it either. The memory is of about four other kids and me sitting around the Sunday school table while my grandma sang a song about our ancestry and how it didn’t start with monkeys. The song went like this “I’m no kin to the monkey, the monkey’s no kin to me. I don’t know much about his ancestors but mine didn’t swing from a tree!” And it continued to repeat just like that. I will always remember this no matter what. Even now I can remember the exact flow of the song and the sound of my grandma’s voice.…

    The modern period was a turbulent time for all East Asian nations. China, Japan, and Korea were all faced great challenges in the modern era and responded to them in different ways. China and Korea turned inwards initially and opened up (except for North Korea) more recently, while Japan was the first to modernize and has been open for decades. The first and possibly most tragic country in the modern period was China which stuck firmly to traditionalism into the 20th century and would later on westernize and open up.…

    Christianity was drastically transformed during the five centuries after the death of the religion’s founder, Jesus. Jesus was a Jewish carpenter and he lived in a province of Judaea in the Roman Empire. Over the span of three years, Jesus taught and performed “miracles”. His teachings had a sharp political and social edge which landed him in hot water. Jesus’ career was cut short after he was executed for being a political rebel. He was barely mentioned in the historical records of that time period, yet the religion of Christianity that was created by his teachings, had a dramatic impact on world history.…

    After thinking about it, I thought Wicca hasn't really changed my life that much, at least not in concrete ways. I've always loved the Earth and thought of it as being beautiful and precious. I've always been fascinated at the beauty and mystery of the Moon and the starry sky. I've always found Nature to be healing in an all inclusive way that encompasses the physical, mental and spiritual realms. I've always believed that our minds have the power to accomplish amazing things. I've always thought that there is much more to this Universe than what we can see with our eyes and grasp with our minds.…

    Growing up, my family and I were on and off church goers. In my younger years we went every Sunday, but as time passed, we seemed to go less and less. Though I no longer attended church, I still believed in God. I devoted my life to the lord at the age of seven, while attending a youth camp in Michigan designed to bring young hearts to the lord. I participated in the camp for several years, but as I got older, I wanted the summers to play sports and socialize with my friends. So I stopped going. I became what some would call a “pocket Christian”; I would only pray to Jesus in my time of need and then stick the whole “Christianity thing” back in my pocket when everything in my life was fine again.…

    Today japan is one of the most industrialized countries of the world, but about 70 years ago, it was totally bankrupt and destroyed. World War 2 was a disaster for the nation, specially the nuclear bomb disaster. They have managed to repair themselves, and become very powerful. They did that, by slowly producing stuff, using their own raw materials to make mostly cars using their war factories from ww2, exporting the stuff, importing more materials using the money they earned. But now the pollution level in japan is extreme. I would like to debate if japan, making so much industry on so little land was a good idea.…
