Hi.This is Heboya. SR Saitama no Rapper.
Born in Japan, a Japanese raised in Japan, and one to write the answers.
- Japanese people think only Japan has four seasons
Maybe if the Japanese education very low. If the Japanese typical ignorant is not so.
- Japanese don't consider themselves "Asian"
- Japanese look down on people from other Asian countries
Geographically, it is located in East Asia but culturally all know, "was the most westernized of Asia's advanced countries," the Japanese would have no awareness that at least. That's absurd sense of superiority.
Moreover, discrimination in other Asian countries, such as the elderly over 50 in the country, no less.
They are being raised with prejudice after the war during World War II.
But now, with no majority.
20 or fewer racism, many generations later but net.
Prejudices about the countryside, have a chance, Hideki Arai's manga, "Eileen's love" to recommend.
- Japanese think their language is the most difficult in the world
- Japanese think that foreigners cannot learn Japanese
Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana is there, I read there are two kanji one.
Very specific language linguistically.
However, the Japanese "Japanese is difficult in the world," said, possibly I would have been told it from foreigners.
- Japanese consider their country *more unique* that other "unique" countries
As above, too.
Foreigners, "Japan is a unique" saying that listening to, but some people think about it.
Japanese people, but usually from Japan.
In a relative sense, there is no country not unique.
- Japanese are ignorant of history
The average Japanese people are learning about world history in high school.
Humans originated from Africa to first. Australopithecus, Neanderthal. Tigris and Euphrates civilization, Indus civilization of Mesopotamia, Egyptian civilization, ancient civilizations, such as Sichuan Yangtze River civilization.
Iron production in Hittite. Also rise and fall of Greece and Rome. The birth of Jesus Christ. Muhammad Islamic culture through the establishment of the Silk Road trade.
The Dark Ages Medieval, Renaissance and the Age of Exploration. European colonial imperialism by the industrial revolution. And the black slave trade, and the invasion of South America Mayan, Aztec ruin.
As the two world wars and modern history. Yellow vortex theory, the Holocaust. Cold War after the war.
They learn a basic knowledge of a street.
Of course, some ignorant lazy to study Japanese. That there is a difference around the individual.
However, a high school education are biased to memorize for a college entrance exam.
Therefore, students know and historical significance, the test that no students are also ignored.
Also.
Most people, if someone refers to "ignorant of history" when it comes, "(know yourself) ignorant the history," say something.
Say so himself, however, know the history of the opponent does not necessarily know.
Japanese people, "Boston Tea Party" is learning. But Americans are more detailed will.
Many Americans are not familiar with but have heard that
Commodore Perry, almost everyone knows Japanese.
Someone knows not know their own history, or different interpretations of "ignorance" and I think is arrogant.
Similarly, a person claiming to be heard from the history of one party, but also foolish to assume only heard the full truth.
As mentioned earlier, most Japanese people learn well in high school that the World War.
At least in another country, "that the Japanese" also know as bad as swearing incident.
And, above a certain educated Japanese, that more, not just hearsay and testimony, you know, based on documentation and verification.
Of course, as is the case in most countries, the damage had not exaggerated their own, people underestimate the harm that in Japan.
- Japanese think they're bad at languages
- Many Japanese will freak out when spoken to in Japanese by a foreigner, and not understand despite the supposed "fluent" Japanese
- Many Japanese will try to answer in bad English after being asked a question in "fluent" Japanese
"It is difficult to learn than Japanese," Japanese believe that many think.
One of them, too.
In result, some people are confused or other foreign languages ??spoken, happen to be decent.
(Personally, I have no experience of such I)
