520 This book is a collection of true-to-life essays which
offers the reader various ways to view the socio-cultural
state of the modern world as seen through the eyes of the
author - a somewhat cynical but ethical Japanese
professor. Through journeys in various cultures, these
stories break numerous stereotypes, from the failure of
higher education in Japan to the mysteries of using
various types of toilets in Mediterranean Europe. The
author narrates brief encounters with all aspects of
society, from radical students to conservative
academicians, from old-style street merchants to modern
business people, from government agencies to independent
artists. These stories also include lessons which, the
author believes, people and society as a whole can and
should learn from such encounters. The episodes highlight
what is rapidly being lost across cultures in an era of
globalization and the shrinking number of differences that
once made every culture independent of the others. The
book will captivate those who enjoy seeing another's view
of the world, observing many unique 'windows' from which
to view global change on a personal level. Also of
interest will be the cynical but ethical assessment of the
future of Japanese universities which have lost their
educational principles at this critical time of survival,
and the approaching IT society.
