❚ “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.
