Name: Tutor: Course: Date: The works of Vincent van Gogh and sol LeWitt and Japanese influence on European art 1. In drawing a comparison and contrast between the works of Vincent van Gogh and sol LeWitt, Vincent van Gogh’s application of symbolic colors and paint to express subjective emotion have created the basis of defining abstract expressionism, which started with the Americans after the World War II movement of art creation and presentation. LeWitt’s work, on the other hand, has been used as a basis for the use of traditional art materials during the creation of artworks. However, his use of traditional art materials had been improved, to involve the use of digital technology and computers to create and edit these materials. Some
Document 2 is also a chart showing cotton yarn production in the same years as document 1, but in Japan. It was also gathered by a government power, making it trustworthy as well. As in document 1, it shows a huge increase in machine-spun yarn production, jumping from 5 million to 666 million pounds per year in 30 years. This shows how Japan also had a huge increase in production of cotton materials starting in 1884. Document 6 restates the idea in document 1 of the increase in machine textiles and the decrease of hand-weavers due to unmatchable competition with industry.
Through imperialism, India and Japan were forced to Westernize. Westernization allowed the countries to advance in the world and become more level with European powers. For example, without the absolute rule of the British, India would not have prospered socially or economically. The British established a modern secondary education in English that resulted in the development of irrigation projects for agriculture, the world’s third largest railroad network, and large tea and jute plantations. A unified, powerful state was created in India by the British vanquishing kingdoms of the India and placing the same general system of laws amongst the Hindu and the Muslim peoples.
Wushe Incident was one of the most considerable rebellions of the native. On the other hand, Japan were actively press ahead with the infrastructure development plan which modernized this small island. Additionally, disciplined Japanese brought about some positive changes such as the extraordinary performances of Taiwan’s KANO baseball team after Japanese training.

The annexation of Hawaii and Philippines in 1898 and 1899 convinced Secretary of State Hay that the US should have announced a China policy. 3. The relationship with China was plagued by the exclusionist immigration policy of the United States and by laws inhibiting citizens. Balancing Japan in the Pacific from California to Manchuria 1. Population pressures, war and a quest for economic opportunities caused Japanese immigration to the United States to increase dramatically around the turn of the century.
Japan, which lies east of China and just under Korea, was no exception as it too fell under the gaze of the West. However Japan is regarded as an exceptional case in history, for it ‘opened its doors’ to these nations and learnt and adapted to their Western ways in order to emerge later as a stronger nation and world power. This paper seeks to exam the process through which Japan underwent during this transaction. The arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry in Uraga Bay, July 1853, saw the beginning of this process of rapid and bewildering change that would greatly alter the course of Japan’s history. In less than a century, Japan would transform itself into the first country outside of the West to possess a modern state, a modern industrial economy and involve itself in the politics of the world; Japan would become the first Imperial nation that wasn’t from the west.
Japanese Americans Entering this exhibit was an amazing experience for me. The reason why I find this culture so important was because I was able to relate it to so many other cultures and traditions, even mine as well. So today I would like to share my experience about the Japanese-American culture and traditions. The Japanese had immigrated to America before any other Asian immigrants, beginning in the 1840’s. They came to America like any other immigrants, hoping for a dream and willing to work for it.
Recently Japanese Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi created headlines by saying, “achieving world-class excellence demands that all Japanese acquire a working knowledge of English.” (Masci, N.p) He not only went on to say that English should be the nation’s official second language but also suggested the alternative was to be left behind in the global race to prosperity. (Masci,N.p) So while other countries are clearly embracing English as a necessary language of the future, the United States continues to embrace multiple languages and, in fact, encourages it. In a recent article by Joe Castaldo, he states that German and Japanese based companies choose English as a primary language of their business and employees. (Castaldo, N.p) In fact, deviating from the “English Only” policy has severe consequences. (Castaldo, N.p) The article concludes that companies with global aspirations have no choice but to use English as the language of business.

Moreover, Mattel fought competitors in Japan by joining forces with Bandai, Japan’s largest toy company. They adapted Barbie to Japanese culture and realized that Japan’s market prefers well known American Barbie. Finally, partnership strategies had been eliminated but still Mattel had a huge success with 31% of total revenue. In brief, Global strategies are partnerships that adapt it product to local taste, economic condition and pricing. I think that Mattel is doing Fair in Middle East and well in the Asian market.
