Introduction
"The immigrant experience in America has been varied, and those who are of different ethnic or racial backgrounds have had a more difficult time as immigrants than those who fit into the majority white society more easily. Immigrants from Asian countries are first of all marked as different from the time they arrive. They also are likely to experience language difficulties. They are a true minority population that has tended to settle in given areas. They usually create their own small communities within the larger American communities and so creating a protective shell based on union. The Japanese and the Chinese may seem much the same to whites, but in truth they are from quite different societies and have different attitudes toward their own community and the processes of assimilation that are part of the..."

From the Paper
"Within the Japanese cuisine, there contains many strange meals but there are myriads of delights that would make anybody's tastes buds melt. Coming from a Japanese decent I have tried many of these tasty meals, but I would not take it too an extreme to say that I drink "snakes blood for longevity"(Steinberg 6). Japanese meals are actually considered very healthy and low fat considered to the traditional American, southern fried chicken. Japanese food is served in little portions and displayed in a very exciting way to liven up every aspect of each savory bite. To liven up these dishes we often cut vegetables or fruits into tiny designs or animals, or organize each piece of meat and each small vegetable in a way that flatters the plate. Cutting and Slicing, mostly vegetables into meticulous designs, makes a dish its own work of art. "

"This study will consider a number of elements of the "submissive" middle class in Japanese society as described and analyzed in Karel van Wolferen's "The Enigma of Japanese Power".
The basis of much of the power and order of Japan in the world in the late years of the 20th century is what van Wolferen calls the "submissive" nature of that society. As the author notes, "The post-war aims of the Japanese System have been entrusted mainly to the economic organizations. The System is preoccupied with industrial and commercial pursuits.. " And industrial and commercial pursuits are successful because of submissive and obedient workers, who are modeled on the "salaryman" model.
As the author writes, " . . . The term 'salaryman' connotes much more than 'office clerk' or 'white-collar worker'; it stands ... "

Abstract
The history of Japanese immigrants to America has not been one of 'open arms'. Japanese citizens were not allowed to leave Japan until the end of the isolationist policy in 1868. Those who found their way to the United States experienced racial hostility and discrimination that included federal, state, and local laws. This paper shows that the reaction of the Japanese-American has been to endure, adapt, and survive in order to develop an ethnic community and presence. Through it all, they have managed to maintain strong family values, as well as religious and other elements of their original culture, within the paradigm of assimilation and acculturation.
From the Paper
"The history of the Japanese American in the United States has taught the majority culture a great deal about perseverance through adversity. The level of discrimination and assumed values that led to stereotyping was endured until the American people were able to 'see' the inherent value of the addition of this particular culture into the 'melting pot' that is the American social objective. Many of the Japanese Americans have taken the social value of education and translated that into a career in teaching, which has strengthened that particular value for all students and added to the American concept of education."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of the history and migration of the Japanese to Hawaii. The writer explores the migration beginning with the history and then offering an explanation of the migration as it pertained to the Japanese and how it affected those who migrated as well as those who were residents of Hawaii at the time.
From the Paper
"One can trace the history of various migrations to the United States to see that it has not always been an open armed proposition. There have been many national immigrants to the states and while they came with high hopes of beginning new lives they were often greeted and treated as outsiders who were not welcome. One of the most interesting migrations in United States history was the Japanese migration to Hawaii. It showcased the many difficulties that the migrations to the states encountered. "

Racial Tension in American Immigration Policy, 2002.
An overview of the history of American immigration law policy and the discrimination of Chinese and Japanese Americans.

Abstract
This paper will study the affects of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the Alien Law of 1913, and the Immigration Act of 1924, to better understand what they meant in the times they were created. By realizing this, we can argue for the stance of Chinese and Japanese Americans and the discrimination that was used against them in American history. Also, the affects of these laws that are present today can be seen in light of the past that created these racial circumstances.

Abstract
The study takes a broad exploratory approach to studying issues of identity in the Japanese community in Canada. Chapter I traces the historical settlement of Japanese-Canadians in Canada with reference to how Canada's changing attitudes on dealing with immigrants has affected the way in which Japanese-Canadians perceive themselves. Chapter II researches the relationship between language and identity. Chapter III looks at two types of modern day Japanese in Canada. First, a young student studying at MIT is used as a real life case study. Second, various fictional depictions of Japanese-Canadians are used to delve deeper into issues of Japanese identity. The subject matter has not yet been specifically covered in detail by academia (although it has rather more so by fictional writing). Available sources are analyzed closely to try to uncover trends in identity. Sources used vary from academic works (both Japanese and Canadian) on history, sociology, politics, linguistics and psychology; through to personal journal entries and fictional works concerning Japanese identity written by Japanese-Canadian authors.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Thus, using Bourdieu's analysis, it is theoretically possible to apply it to the situation of Japanese-Canadians to try to delve deeper into their ethnic self-identity and individual make-up. However, there are various flaws when trying to apply Bourdieu's work. First, Bourdieu interviewed his participants in some depth for his study in order to get a detailed profile of each. This variety of data about Japanese-Canadians is not currently available for this thesis and would need to be obtained first-hand (see 'Recommendations' in Conclusion). Second, and more importantly, it is not possible to apply the same analysis intended for a Western, European nation such as France to a complex, Oriental nation such as Japan that prides itself on its 'unique' ethnic identity and 90% middle-class (which, if true, renders analysis using economic capital as a variable useless anyhow)."

Abstract
This paper examines the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II by comparing this action with the freedom experienced by German-Americans during the same period. The author questions the inherent racism of Americans that enabled such an occurrence to be legally sanctioned, while German-Americans lived their lives freely, although Hitler and Germany were also enemies of America during World War II. The paper then presents a detailed background of the Japanese immigrant experience in America, contrasting this with the American ideal of freedom and the reality of racism. The experiences of African and Native-Americans are also considered. The paper then describes the actual Japanese internment, which was unprecedented event in American history. The paper further states how the Internment still has an effect on the psyche of the Japanese-American population today. The author concludes that the internment of Japanese-Americans during the Second World War was one of the great tragedies of American history.

Conclusion
From the Paper
" Naturally, the situation was worse the further removed from the Anglo-Saxon ideal a group might chance to be. After the Civil War, the newly reunited nation demanded a huge supply of cheap labor to build its rapidly expanding railroad network. In the West, this labor was provided, to a large extent, by settlers from Japan and China. Labor Contractors, generally Japanese or Chinese themselves actively recruited these workers and brought them to America. They helped to lay the foundations of America's industrial prosperity. White American racial attitudes combined with a nationwide railroad strike in 1877 to create the necessary conditions for a crackdown on Asian immigration. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was soon followed by other, stricter acts, in 1892, 1902, and 1904. And as White America saw little, if any difference, between Japanese and any other Asians, the anti-Chinese immigration laws were followed by a Japanese Exclusion Act in 1907. By 1924, the United States had imposed an almost total ban on all immigration from East Asia, ..."

From the Paper
"This paper will discuss an aspect of the history of Brazil, the settlement of the Japanese in Brazil. The paper will discuss some of the earliest Brazilian settlement patterns, focusing on the settlements of Japanese immigrants. The discussion will continue into more recent history, particularly the problems related to Japanese settlements during World War II.
Most Japanese came to Brazil sometime after 1899 and settled in agricultural regions like Sao Paulo, Parana and Mato Grosso. The Japanese colonies in Brazil are known as cysts, though they are also called quistos by Brazilians. These Japanese colonies tended to be close knit, with the Japanese preserving their cultural traits and resisting assimilation. During World War II, these Japanese colonies tended to be very nationalistic in favor of Japan. When it became apparent that Japan was losing World..."

Abstract
This essay is a discussion of how great a role coercion played in the enforcement of Japanese imperialism in Asia. The paper focuses on the Japanese occupation of Korea, while also alluding to other areas that the Japanese controlled. Various examples of coercion are presented and discussed at length.
From the Paper
"In the course of Japanese imperialism, the Japanese used coercion extensively to maintain their rule, but also employed some other methods at times. Their coercive policies were often harsh and brutal, with the Japanese authorities refusing to relent until their goals had been reached. In certain instances, however, they allowed their subjects to have some level of choice in matters like education and employment. In response to the Korean Independence Movement that developed after World War I, for example, the Japanese appeared to "return to the Koreans a modicum of personal choice" and allowed them to publish their own newspapers, create their own schools, and to be employed in the government (Kang, 15). Such concessions certainly existed outside the realm of coercive policies, even though they were somewhat cosmetic in nature. The people were still often subjected to the same horrid treatment and the same unreasonable regulations that they had become familiar with from the coercive rule of the Japanese, but there were glimpses of light that shone through the dark cloud of Japanese rule."

Abstract
This paper documents a study that has been conducted for the purpose of understanding why the rates of breast cancer differ between Japanese women living in the United States compared to those living in Japan. The examination of risk factors associated with the rapid fluctuation of breast cancer incidence rates in Japanese women in the United States and those in Japan may help to explain differences. The paper offers methodology, data collection and analysis. It also gives a clear conclusion of the findings of the research and recommendations for further research on this topic.

From the Paper
"Meta-analysis begins with estimation of the success rates of treatment and control arms of multiple separate trials through use of a separate 2 X 2 table for each trial. At the point in time that the researcher is convinced that the trials are "sufficiently uniform in design and methods that pooling their results makes clinical sense, a statistical test for homogeneity is used to help decide whether pooling results makes statistical sense." (Gilbert, 2005) After having made the decision that the "studies are sufficiently homogeneous to be combinable, the effect measure has been chosen, and a fixed- or random-effects technique is adopted, the calculations required to perform a meta-analysis are quite simple, usually through use of statistical software."

Japan's Immigration Policy, 2006.
This paper evaluates the effectiveness of Japan's current immigration policy.
1,950 words (approx. 7.8 pages), 6 sources, APA, £ 32.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the Japanese people, who are among the most nationalistic people of all, try hard to preserve their ethnic homogeneity, ensuring that the population of Japan remains dominated by the Japanese and that foreign nationals are a very small percentage of the population. The author evaluates Japan's immigration policies by focusing on its labor markets, rights protection, societal identities and border security. The paper concludes that globalization of Japan's industries causes an increasing demand for skilled workers;
however, currently, Japan's immigration policy is not open enough to welcome foreign workers and businesses as compared to the policies of
Singapore and Hong Kong, which leaves Japan behind in terms of economic globalization. The paper includes several quotations.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Japan's Immigration Policy: An Evaluation through a Study of the Policies' Evolution
Japan's Immigration Policy: In Comparison to Other Countries' Policy
The Effects of Japan's Immigration Policies
From the Paper
"In terms of maximum period of stay for foreign workers, Japan currently grants a maximum of only three years; surprisingly too short for a worker who wants to establish a good future; and surprisingly too short as compared again to other more developed countries. In terms of the employment status of foreign workers, on the other hand, considering the claim of Japan on their strict policy on limiting, or even preventing, foreign unskilled workers, it is surprising that "entertainers" and "trainees" coming from neighboring Asian countries are categorized under skilled workers."
