high school in japan


-high school in japan


Major League Baseball teams are lining up to lure Japanese high school baseball pitcher Yusei Kikuchi across the Pacific to join them in an unprecedented raid on the country’s young talent.
Kikuchi, an 18-year-old left-hander from Hanamaki Higashi High School in northern Japan, would be the most coveted young Japanese player to join an MLB team, but he is equally desired by Japan’s 12 professional teams.
His star rose at the national high school baseball tournament this summer as his 155 kph (96mph) fastball dazzled. Japan’s Koshien tournment is a big thing even for non-baseball fans in Japan, as the event catapults high school players into the pro ranks.
Sometimes just one high school star can affect an entire team’s fortunes. Masahiro Tanaka, now a starting pitcher for Japan’s Rakuten Golden Eagles, was a high school phenomenon in the summer of 2006

-Japan’s schooling: The system of 6 + 3 years of compulsory education followed by 3 + 4 years of voluntary training that was established then are still valid today. The compulsory education consists of 6 years shōgakkō (equivalent to Swedish primary and secondary stage) and 3 years chūgakkō ( ”middle school”, the corresponding Swedish high school). This is followed by three years of a voluntary, fee continuation school, coir (equivalent to high school) where as many as 96% of Japanese were continuing. About 30% will continue thereafter to the usually 4-year higher education and one of Japan’s 580 different Daigaku (University).
U.S. schooling: Most children start school in kindergarten as five or six year olds and leaving school for eighteen years of age after their final year of high school. Some states allow students to leave school at sixteen years old. After high school, many choose to continue studying at university. About 85 percent of children in the U.S. goes into public schools, and many parents choose to send their children to private schools to charge. American schools have a grading scale of eleven steps, where A+ is the highest grade you can get and F being the lowest.

During the period from World War II until the late 1980s the Japanese economy grew very rapidly. From being almost totally destroyed by war, rebuilt Japan’s industry in record time with the help of the United States, and it was from the 1960s to the late 1980s the entire world’s economic locomotive. In particular in the fields of electronics and automobiles came Japan to take a world-leading position. The rapid growth was however marred by a series of problems, then it is largely based on manufacturing industries with high productivity and advanced technology. These competitive advantage became a disadvantage in the early 1990s when the EPZ was set up around the Asian countries where wages, because of the already low standard of living was a fraction of what they have in Japan

Japan has a democratic form of government based on a constitution adopted 1947th The Emperor is the head of state to Japan but have no power in practice. Instead, the supreme governing body of Japan’s parliament with 732 members, which are divided into two chambers, first chamber and second chamber. Parliament called on the Japanese Diet, which means the National Assembly. Japan’s parliament, like Japan’s laws and constitution, created after the German model.
Age for voting in Japan is 20 years. But because of Japan starts to count a person’s age from 1 year and upwards, instead of as we start from 0 and up, so it corresponds to an age limit of 19 years. In addition, do not count the age of majority depends on your birthday, but at a certain day of the year, all who were born 19 years earlier adult. Universal suffrage was introduced 1947th.high school in japan

Although the Japanese isolation from the outside world lasted over 150 years, it is remarkable how little influence foreign phenomena have on the domestic media market. The few who recognize it in the Western world adored TV series The Simpsons has probably only seen them in a commercial for a product they appeared in. Those who know the South Park characters have probably seen them as cuddly toys. In the film world, it is almost only the biggest Hollywood movies, which may break, otherwise it is mostly domestic production, which dominates the market. This of course depends largely on Japan, like the U.S. has a huge production of all types of media, but also in the Japanese sense of humor and Japanese expressions can often be very different from western diton, which means that some western humor and some Western concepts does not work as well in Japan as in Western countries

There is a very big difference between the japanese education and the Swedish education.Japan differs quite a lot from Sweden in many ways and there are not many countries like Japan.The education is very rigorous and tough and there are obviously countries that also have very tough education, such as North Korea. North Korea has longer compulsory education than Japan has.but I don’t think that the difference is so big between this countries,The morale is much harder than in Scandinavia.The japanese education is not very different from the Chinese education either.The morals is about the same in the countries and that’s one of the reasons why they often are very powerfull.
Japan’s economy is not quite like any other countries economy. The economy is very good in the country but there are so many people in Japan that it must import 60% of there food to provide their inhabitants. What I just wrote about the import has nott really anything to do with the economy but I’m just trying to prove that the japanese economy is good, because it wouldn’t be possible for a poor country to import that much food. Japans economy is one of the best economies in the world, even if it isn’t as good now and there is a connection between Japans and Chinas economy, they both have very good economy almost the best economies in the world. And it’s probobly because they have so hard and tough education. The Japanese are also known to work extremely hard at there jobs and I think that’s a big factor to the japanese economy.
”The modernization of the law of was based on the European law system”1.The japanese law system is also a bit different from most law systems, They have death penalties. But the death penalties are rather unusual, but it’s a bit like the state of Texas in the USA. You can almost say that the japanese law is a mix between the European law system and the law in the USA.
The japanese democracy is not very different from the Swedish democracy, They have an emperor as one might say is the equivalent of our King, The emperor is the head of state but he hasn’t really got much power at all. The japanese parlament has got the real power and that’s almost like in Sweden. The japanese parlament has got 732 members and they are devided into two chambers, and that’s almost like the swedish parliamentary.
Japan is an interesting country and there are many interesting things to write about and to do in Japan. The country is rather small but it’s still a very ”big” country in other aspects. Japan has got a very big influense of the whole world. Not only because of there stabil economy but also because they are great in almost everything that is important in the world. They are great athletes, They are skilled in technical stuff like computer games, new technical inventions etc, they are also big in the automotive industry, and much more.The japanese have a hand in almost everything you can think of.
There is ofcourse bad things about Japan. Japan has almost 128 000 000 inhabitants and that could be a problem in the future because I don’t think that they can provide enough food for the people, I mean the population will probobly increase in the future. I don’t think that they can import as much food as they would like to.That problem can be very devastating in about twenty to thirty years.But i don’t really know how du solve the problem but they should definitely do something about it.
”According to a study recently presented by the World Bank, it was during the period January 2005- March 2006 Japan was by far the tha largest byuer of greenhouse gas emissions. The World Bank estimates that the allowances for the period allocated under the CDM (the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism) is approximately 450 million tons of carbon dioxide. The Japanese purchase of rights amounted to 38 percent of the total. This compares with Britain 15, Italy 11 Netherlands or 8 percent”2. This is another bad thing that Japan is involved in. Japan is one of the countries that reduce the greenhouse effect most in the world. I know one easy solution to that problem and the solution is to stop placing out carbon dioxide. I know that it’s easy to say but not as easy to do, but that’s the only way to stop it

-Japan’s Ichiro Suzuki underlined his position as his country’s greatest sporting export after shattering one of Major League Baseball’s oldest records.
The Seattle Mariners outfielder was described as a “Hercules” by fellow players after becoming the first man to record 200 hits for nine straight seasons.
