53.10253 The Identity of Asian Countries in Respect to External Influences: Examining the Cultures of Japan, Taiwan, and China.
This paper critically examines the statement made by author Tessa Morris- Suzuki in which she suggests that being Japanese is "not constant or stable. Instead... it was contextual and changing." This paper supports Morris- Suzuki's belief that the culture of Japan was not a constant environment but instead was a static world in which the Japanese people assimilated various aspects of those peoples and cultures with which they interacted. The cultures of Taiwan and China are also discussed in order to better clarify this statement, where the culture of Taiwan appears even more prone to the assimilation of external influences, while China appears to maintain more traditional isolationist policies. 5 pgs. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

56.3136 The Japanese In Korea.
This paper will explore the 1910 to 1945 period of Korean history when Korea was controlled by Japan. Japan annexed Korea in 1910 and forced Korea to take a new direction. The discussion will begin with a brief examination of a much earlier period time when, ironically, The Koreans were the ones who exerted a powerful influence on the Japanese. This will help one to understand the more recent history (in this history) of the country because it will reveal that Japan and Korea have actually had long-standing relationships. In addition, there will be some mention of the period of time just before the annexation of Korea by Japan. 9 pgs. 17 f/c. 8b.
