“What is a class society?”【Beautiful stories from far away From Japan】

2022-09-06 | TOSHI

“What is a class society?”

Dear followers and readers, how are you?  I’m TOSHI, a Japanese woman.

There are still things in the world that I don’t understand even after learning them at school, one of which is “what is a class society?”

When I grew up in a rural area of Japan and studied at the French Literature Department within a university in Tokyo,

The professors taught me in class that “there exists a class society in the world,” but I still don’t really understand what that truly means. Because I have never lived in a foreign country.

This is a delicate topic, but when I stayed at a Japanese ex-pat family’s house living in a foreign country for about a month, I was able to listen to the local stories, there was a story concerning “occupational discrimination?”

I was told that this is the case in this country because I thought it was good over there, so I didn’t understand it anymore.

When I returned to Japan and talked about it, everyone was surprised.

People can be respected regardless of their occupation

Of course, there are many other serious forms of discrimination in Japan.

However, if you are smart, you can go to a university where you can grow up and can succeed, and even if you do not go to a university, people who work diligently, find passion in their work, and master it are highly respected within the country. Moreover, people can be respected regardless of their occupation.

On that side, I think Japan is a relatively equal country in regards to social classes.

That’s all for today.
