Is Japan A Dying Country?

Note: This is an updated version of a video published earlier.
The village of Nagoro, Japan, is filled with human-sized creepy dolls. There are no children left - the dolls are the only companions for the 27 elderly residents who remain.
Japan's population is decreasing, and this spells trouble for its economy. There are more deaths than births, while younger folks would rather stay single - or marry a hologram wife - than have kids. Meanwhile Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has declared a "womenomics" policy and revised immigration law, to bolster the workforce. But is it too little too late?

Has anyone stopped to think about how the intense Americanization of Japan has negatively affected its population ? Of course, White Christian Europeans and their descendants around the world have always arrogantly assumed that their culture is naturally superior to every other culture they have encountered. But what are the long term effects on an insular nation like Japan when its culture is swept away and replaced by Western style "progress" ? Can Japan's population decline be an unintended side effect of Americanization ?

I think that depends on support that the government is willing to provide. My 4 siblings and I were raised by single working mother, she is working hard so she is only at home at dinner, in fact she had no time to cook, so we divided household chores. When I was a baby, she would either asked our neighboot to babysit me or take me with her at wotk. And it worked. In Japan, mothers are discouraged to bring their babies at work, there is no nursing area at workplace. That is not the case where I came from, babies and kids are supported. We live in rural area, we dont pay rents, we dont pay for tuition fees in elementary and high school, I studied hard to obtain scholarship in university in urban area, my mom paid tuition of only 2 children in university. Our daily expenses are basically food, transportation, miscellaneous, research, books, etc. It worked. I think, work is not an excuse to not have a child, lack of support and child care facilities are the reason why women today dont want to have kids.

How to fix birth rate problem: Fix overworking culture where students and workers are put under so much pressure to point when they run away from home/become depressed/commit suicide, not having any time to be in home when they work overhours. Students and workers in Japan often sleep 5 and less hours per day, don't come back home till midnight and everyone expect them to do everything perfectly. There are many cases where workers aren't paid for overhours and are too afraid to ask for raise. Anime is so popular in Japan because it allows them to escape from this reality.

you cant. Japans People are so loyal and so hard working. They will work and never want to leave their job buildings at first. from 10 vacation days . japanese people took 4. it isnt about politics but about the culture of working a´s hard as you can for your country. Japan would have also won the second world war if the United States didnt attack their civilians. In Japan Dying for your Country is the most honorable thing to do. and giving up the most unhonorable thing to do. In Japan there is even a word called (romanji:kiroshi). It means death by overwork. There is even a law that tells companies to shut down the light at offices at a specific time of day in order to force employees out of their offices. and even if schools were much easier and youd get through every year with a grade D in every subject and only 1 main subject with a C ( like in german schools ) (not ABI) the children would still spend all their time trying to get a A+. How to fix it really though? Invest your entire GDP in Anti Aging Research and Development. That way japanese people cant die.

Anime is the exact opposite of Japan in many ways. I honestly think it's an escape for them. To them, anime would just be cartoon shows depicting idealistic versions of life. Versions of life that most of them lack. It's sad to think about. From epic adventure anime to even ones with basic plots about high school fun and romance, anime portrays something that a lot of Japanese people simply can't have, which is probably why it succeeds in the country.

Just because statistics show men as more dangerous doesn't mean most men are that dangerous. Anyone can commit crimes and make illogical and harmful decisions. Anyone is capable of influencing another's perspective and decisions. No one is immune, and just because we see these crimes and we know what they are doesn't mean we can't make the same mistakes and decisions. When they say 'everyone makes mistakes', they don't mean simple mistakes like forgetting to put on your watch in the morning, they mean things like yelling at your children for small things making them insecure about themselves, or bullying someone.
