Destruction of cultures by the west
Thursday. 8.28.08 9:46 pm
I just returned from a three week visit to southwest China. After returning I have noticed some interesting differences between Japan and China. In China people will go around wearing their traditional clothing in everyday life, shopping, work, home etc. In Japan this is un-seen very very few people go around wearing their traditional clothing but rather prefer western clothing. Upon seeing this I realized that not only Chinese in China but Chinese in other countries do not wear their traditional clothing and go more for the western clothing. Except interestingly people from India or Indian desent wear their traditional clothing in the street wherever they are. If you have ever tried Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian clothing then you have to admit that they are far more comfortable than western clothing. Loose fitting and I have to say more fashionable for both work, home, shopping or just a walk in the street. Tight fitting clothing, those with buttons etc are are not just ugly but are unhealthy. The west is destroying cultures one by one to make a single mega culture. Who wants to look like a single mega culture? American or whatever. I have decided to wear as much as possible my own traditional clothing.

middaymoon> I think you must be blind. America is the number in trying to wipe us all off the planet. Everyone wants to suck up to the one in power. They buy their food their clothes all in a way just to look just like them.

I think it is the choice of the people as to whether or not they adopt western culture. It is true that America broadcasts culture in such large volume that sometimes it's hard to escape it. But I certainly don't think America does this malevolently, in a purposeful effort to destroy other cultures. Japan has always been both imitative and innovative, taking what it sees to be the best of every country in the world (English schools, German banking, etc) and then making it "Japanese". Japan has exported quite a lot of culture to the US in recent times, and lots of people around the world go around eating chinese food and wearing chinese letters and fabric patterns on their clothing, just like many chinese wear shirts with English on them. It's globalization... nobody is trying to wipe anyone else off the planet, it's just that fashion trends are now world-wide instead of just inside your country or city or high school.

By the way, you have quite an interesting cultural resume it seems. Japanese-American, went to a Canadian university, currently located in China? How is that?
