Course Description:
This course will examine salient Japanese cultural patterns, much of which can be difficult to see and teach. Through the
study of the conventional principles and everyday practices in contemporary Japan that are not normally presented in the
media and most textbooks. A deeper understanding of Japanese cultural patterns from a diverse cross-cultural
perspective will enable us to better understand how culture influences our actions and thoughts and hopefully enable us
to be more appropriate and effective in our interactions with others. Part of this effectiveness and appropriateness
comes from a heightened understanding of one's own culture. The readings, discussions, and ethnographic research
projects will contribute to one's own intercultural knowledge.
