Japan Through American Eyes
By: Gabrielle N. Pitts
Gender Roles, Romance, and Relationships from the Japanese Perspective
Research Paper: Clash of the Cultures
My research paper had to: - Further investigate my topic. - Prove my point with research. - Convince my audience to see things from my perspective.
Differences of Opinion Japanese beliefs on what
romance, gender roles, and relationships should be are vastly different than American views.
In Japan:› Women are expected to be
housewives. Until recently there were little to no other opportunities.
› Historically, it was perfectly normal for Japanese men to have as many women as they could afford.
Differences of Opinion In America:
› Men are not openly encouraged to spend time with other women.
› Gender equality is a serious matter. Improvements have been made economically and politically to grant women as many equal rights as possible.
While different, Japanese opinions are still in the progress of change and will likely follow the United States in the future.
Physical Project:Geisha for a Day
The physical aspect of my project had to: - Display what I learned. - Be something I did outside of school with my mentor’s help. - Had to put what I learned into action.
I became a Geisha Becoming a geisha
was the perfect physical project. › I had to learn how to
wear a kimono. › Learn the names for
all the accessories that go with one.
› Learn how I was supposed to wear it.
I became a Geisha
Every project starts with tests. Before I could go all out with my “Day at the Museum experiment I had to make sure I knew how to wear my “kimono” and order my makeup.
I became a Geisha
Reflections and Key Points This Senior Project taught me almost as
much as learning about my actual topic did. › I had to hold myself to deadlines and really
plan out my time. › I had to learn to organize my thoughts
BEFORE writing my paper. › I had to explain a complex and broad
subject to an average audience. › I had to actively take initiative in writing
notes and taking down any key information during class.
The End
Any questions?Thank you for your time and
