My Life In Japan Analysis

Most of the Filipinas attending at GGCC, which I pastor in Tokyo and in Ibaraki prefecture, are former entertainers. They look cheerful, but I know deep inside, they carry such heavy loads in their heart which is seen on their faces. I would like to help liberate them from strongholds that enslave them (a violation made against them and horrible experiences that they can never forget) through the healing grace and reassuring promises of God. However, I could not help disengage them from these strongholds unless they confess them (strongholds) in order that we can pray together for deliverance. I hope they would realize that as their spiritual mother, I am not a different person, but a mother that God has given them whom they can trust of their …show more content…

I emphasized to them that harboring hatred in my heart, stole such precious time and great moments of my life in the past. I had lived in misery and anger without peace and robbed of happiness. Forfeited time cannot be recovered anymore and people are getting old and soon die. However, I stressed to them that I will be forever grateful to Jesus for taking my pain and shame by the power of His blood that was shed on the cross, embracing me with His reassuring and faithful love that I was able to forgive my offenders and violators. God’s goodness has compelled me to surrender my life into His arms and after this, the rest of my life has been very rewarding in Jesus. In addition, I told them clearly that I still experience pain and insults caused not only by the unbelievers, but Christians as well,; however, my responsibility, as a child of God, is to pray for these people and not retaliate. Furthermore, I challenged them to do likewise for this is the work of Jesus and the will of

    As opposed to righteous view that America was safeguarding its position in the war, the Japanese American internments were created out of resentment and racial prejudice fostered by other Americans. As the article “Personal Justice Denied” stated, the internments were led by “widespread ignorance of Japanese Americans contributed to a policy conceived in haste and executed in an atmosphere of fear and anger at Japan” (Doc E, 1983). It may seem like a precautionary cause to make internments but there aren’t any other extreme measures for other fronts. Caused by a hatred stirred by media and society’s view, many people disdain the Japanese.

    I believe that the bombing of Japan was an over the top choice by the Americans. This way of bombing the Japanese was very inhumane, and left thousands dead. The A-bomb was extremely inhumane, there were a number of other options that the americans could have used, instead of bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some might think that the A-bomb saved america, but it destroyed Japan.

    Japanese-American Relocation in the U.S. During World War II During World War II, many Japanese Americans were relocated by the orders of President Roosevelt. The launch of this war was due to the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941 as the national security was feared mainly on the west coast. The order was made to relocate all persons inland, citizens and noncitizens, who are part of a Japanese descent, mainly to prevent any infiltration and protection from those Americans who would want to take anger out on the Japanese. Since this order, 117,000 Japanese- Americans were affected, and about 66% were native-born citizens to the U.S.

  • The Transformation Of Musui's Story Of The Samurai

    Japan’s rich history of power, wealth, and influence had many remarkable eras. One of the more notable periods in Japanese history was that of the Tokugawa Period (1600-1868). The Tokugawa Period was talked about in Musui’s Story, an autobiographical book, written by Kokichi Katsu. (Katsu ix) Katsu wrote Musui’s Story for three main reasons: to share how he had transformed from a low-ranking samurai to a well-known hero, to show his sense of self, and to serve as a cautionary tale for his descendants.

    We do not forgive easily. After World War II, our fear and resentment of Japan was strong in our hearts, as approximately 106,207 Americans were murdered and 248,316 Americans were wounded or declared missing by the hands of the Japanese. Even after the dust settled between our people, America never forgave Japan for their stubborn refusal to surrender and needless desire to drag on the war in hopes of negotiable bargains that would profit the cities of Japan. With Japanese American citizens in the heart of our country, President Roosevelt, clouded with war hysteria and racial discrimination against those with Japanese ancestry, he ordered Executive Order 9066 which resulted in the internment of Japanese American citizens. Many Americans felt that this order would protect America from Japanese espionage and attacks on our nation, but the Executive Order 9066 ushered an unjust wave of misinformation and insinuations to develop in

    People from Japan began migrating to the U.S. in significant numbers following the political, cultural, and social changes stemming from the 1868 Meiji Restoration. Large numbers went to Hawaii and to the West Coast. In 1907, the "Gentlemen 's Agreement" between the governments of Japan and the U.S. ended immigration of Japanese unskilled workers, but permitted the immigration of businessmen, students and spouses of Japanese immigrants already in the U.S. The Immigration Act of 1924 banned the immigration of nearly all Japanese. The ban on immigration produced unusually well-defined generational groups within the Japanese-American community.

  • The Samurai's Influence On Culture And Culture In Japan

    932 Words  | 4 Pages

    From the Kamakura Period of the late twelfth century to the Meiji Restoration in the nineteenth century, the samurai have held prominent positions as noble warriors in Japanese society.

Samurai code was influenced by traditional Japanese culture, Zen Buddhism, and Confucianism. Bushido, or “Way of the Warrior,” was the code of conduct the samurai class were expected to uphold.

  • Japanese Working Culture Essay

    874 Words  | 4 Pages

    In some ways Japan looks like other western countries, also when it comes to their working style. If one looks at the official working hours for an office man, it is set for eight hours a day, and if one needs to work overtime, the company will pay for it. This sounds familiar with the working standards in the west, but unlike it, these hours mainly apply to women, because they leave the office at 6 pm, where the buildings close for air-conditioning and heating. The fact remains that the men stay and work a lot more, and later in the evening they finally go home, resulting that the trains can be more crowded around midnight than during the rush hour, since it is seen as dishonorable to leave the office before the boss goes home (Murphy, 2014).
