What was the major effect in japan after war world 2? -

Please help! intrigued by the modern society in japan as today! cheers!

the thought about politics and philosophy , i think. before the war , we were following the samurai ideas(busi－dou、武士道),even if that kind of ranks were dissapeared after we met the western cultures again 150 years ago. people were strictly required to be royal to the nation and the family of the emperor,to devote themselves to national polity,to have samurai spirit. the myth was still alive. but when we lost at the war,what we finally got was the devestation of our land and asia,numerous deaths. so, we extremely changed (or was forced to do so) our politics and mind. elderly people say,it was remarkable in education. we are not demanded to have ultranationalistic thought,to have extreme strong mind and tough body,but recommended only to be peaceful and to have cultural mind nowadays. we probably will never cut our berries (seppuku 切腹)and do Kamikaze atacks.rather we can t. on the other hand, there are some people who have the sense of impending crisis of loss of our traditional morality,and weakning mentality. a decade age ago ,it was a taboo only to talk about changing the constitution which prophibits to have armed forces, in the diet.but now we have the prime minister who positively mentions to it. some says japan is leaning to the political right... we have succeeded economically ,but are still losing the way of social,political policy.

Technically speaking, one could say that Douglas MacArthur was the last Emperor of Japan, such was his power. MacArthur s staff gave Japan the constitution they use today. A woman on MacArthur s staff quot;Beate Sirotaquot; had the idea of giving Japanese women rights, such as the right to vote. Up till then women in Japan had zero rights. The Japanese men freaked out ! But they had no choice in the matter because MacArthur used his power in totality as no emperor before him could have dreamed of.

The allies wrote the current constitution that Japan uses. It was not given a choice as the rules it has to follow because of its unconditional surrender.

The major effect in Japan after world war two was that a whole crap load of people died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Now, they re taking it out on us by building better cars than the US. Payback is truly a *****...

Peace and prosperity
