Japanese education appears to be both first-class and uncreative. It looks premodern in some areas and postmodern in others. The somewhat contradictory picture has given rise to a variety of schoolarly and policy-oriented debates. Scool until university sucks.

The work-culture in Japan is toxic and demands a lot from its workers. Not to mention that the corporations have the law on their side?! There are many types of workers that exist in Japan and the stereotypical white-collar worker who is devoted for life to one company is but a fraction of the actuall workforce. They just have most power and influence and are thus in the forefront in media and society.
