You could get a Japanese character that mean protection. I have no idea what that is but many people get tattos of them.

If ordinary folk get involved in politics, not very many people know or care about their opinions.  But celebrities have a great deal of influence.  If they have a candidate or issue which is of importance to them, they are aware of the fact that their fans will often go along with them; they have influence.  If I was famous, I would use that power to put forth my political opinions, too.  Wouldn't you?

Personally I like to find common ground among all of us. \n\nIf your students are young they might be interested in learning about corporations that produce gym shoes and blue jeans and ipods. \n\nCheck on the Yahoo Q&A in the family and friends categories, for instance, and see how people all over the world have the same worries and concerns.\n\nI live in Chicago and probably the largest Japanese influence would be in the food industry. People here love sushi (I think that's Japanese). And we all drink lots of tea. Chicago would be a great place for your students to travel to because there are always so many things going on in this city; and the transportation is pretty good too.\n\nI lived in San Francisco, California for a time and S.F. has a very strong Japanese influence as it is a port of entry to the U.S. \n\nS.F. had a Japanese neighborhood with great stores and hotels. Golden Gate Park in San Francisco has a wonderful Japanese Tea Garden.\n\nI see Japanese influence in art (Isn't the popular "The Kiss" by a Japanese artist?), architecture, coral and jade jewelry and gifts, furniture (both materials and design), plants, flowers, flower arranging, and landscaping.\n\nSome of our national concerns are: the right to life vs. freedom of choice; the possiblity of global warming; alternate fuels for transportation and other industries; violence and poverty. Do any of these also ring true for Japan?\n\nThese are areas that interest me. I'm sure the Japanese influence can be seen in the sciences, medicine (I think eastern medical practices are gaining a stronger following in the U.S.), education, etc., etc.\n\nAnd I think it's the Japanese beetle that's been problematic to some of our local trees.\n\nI think teachers are special people. God bless you!

I'm Japanese and have lived in Japan. My Advise to you is just be yourself. If you try and emulate Japanese culture in your mannerism then it will come off as awkward and forced. They are interviewing you because of your qualifications not because you are an expert on Japanese culture.

that is an ignorant statement. not all japanese people share the same traits.

Cubs fans are called Cubs fans because they root for the Chicago Cubs, whether it be hardcore SABR geeks or drunken yuppies running around the bleachers. There are certainly different levels of fandom though. Many Cubs fans would stop being "fans" if the Cubs build a new ballpark in Crystal Lake. But if you take out the bad fans, the Cubs still have more "real" fans then the Southsiders.

As of right now, as in 1947, it's important for Japanese players to be impact players in the league.  As time goes on and its more common that Japanese players are in the league, they will need to validate their greatness by championships.

Japanese immigrants are in the USA for the same reason your ancestors moved here.  For the opportunities to make something of yourself.

Read up on the Japanese culture - it is not considered good form to show your private feelings in public.  If you judge another culture using YOUR cultural values you will almost never understand what is going on...

Even during the seclusion, Japan had some trade going on, but exclusively with a few peoples.\n\nAnyways, I think you should mention something about it giving Japan a strong sense of unity or nationalism that other countries don't necessarily have. Or say something about how it allowed them to preserve their own culture longer than other countries that began extensive trading with other countries earlier.
