[2]“1980年前后,许多日本人,特别是年轻人,摒弃了经济上成功的价值基准,开始寻找能给他们带来幸福快乐的新的价值准则,社会学家吉崎康宏在《文明比较评论》一书中这样写道。日本青年人现在越来越重视追求个人幸福而越来越少关注工作、家庭和社会的价值基准。
[3]日本学生似乎正对工作失去耐心,而美国和韩国学生却不是这样。在一项1993年的对这三个国家的高校学生进行的调查中,只有10%的日本人认为工作是一个主要的价值体现物,而韩国人和美国人分别是47%和27%。年龄在18到24岁的大多数日本人还更喜欢无需负重大责任的轻松工作。
[4] Concern for family values is waning among younger Japanese as they pursue an inner world of private satisfaction. Data collected by the Japanese government in 1993 shows that only 2304 of Japanese youth are thinking about supporting their aged parents, in contrast to 63% of young Americans. It appears that many younger-generation Japanese are losing both respect for their parents and a sense of responsibility to the family. Author Yoshizaki attributes the change to Japanese parents' over-indulgence of their children, material affluence, and growing concern for private matters.
[5] The shift toward individualism among Japanese is most pronounced among the very young. According to 1991 data from the Seimei Hoken Bunka Center of Japan, 50% of Japanese youth aged 16 to 19 can be labeled "self-centered", compared with 33% among those aged 25 to 29 To earn the self-centered label, the young people responded positively to such ideas as "I would like to make decisions without considering traditional values" and "I don't want to do anything I can't enjoy doing".
