As we could see in some videos, there are big differences between Japan and America commercials, TV show, advisements, jokes, music and so on. It is interesting to see how were Americans views about Japan.
Thinking about that, I think Japanese are more “robotics”. I’m saying that because living here for a long time I have realized that everybody has to follow one concept, which is “normal” for them. In their mind, they might think that if they don’t follow what everybody does, they will exclude from others. Moreover, unconsciously there are more “collective”. While in America, they are more “spontaneous” and “individualist” in terms of expressing theirselves. They usually don’t care too much what people will think about them.
Watching some videos, I don’t think they made it to try to offensive, it is how they feel about the Japanese culture. Of course what could a joke for you might not be for me and vice versa. Although, in my opinion what is offensive and rude, is when you are trying to hurt someone, when you express that feeling in medias. But they and also Japanese are imitating they way the see it.
However, I don’t think Youtube and online communication has changing understanding of other cultures. I think they mixed one culture to another. For example, in many videos was shown foreigners in Japanese commercials and Japanese in other American medias.
After Youtube, facebook and others social media, this music world has changed a lot. It is becoming multicultural, but everybody are expressing they way they are interpreting it. Even though some countries are against China, the hit song a few years ago was for china but those countries against China also got involved with music… so I was wondering is that possible to make the world a peaceful world starting from these mixture music?
