  1. Japan Through American Eyes By: Gabrielle N. Pitts Gender Roles, Romance, and Relationships from the Japanese Perspective

  2. Research Paper: Clash of the Cultures My research paper had to: - Further investigate my topic. - Prove my point with research. - Convince my audience to see things from my perspective.

  3. Differences of Opinion • Japanese beliefs on what romance, gender roles, and relationships should be are vastly different than American views. • In Japan: • Women are expected to be housewives. Until recently there were little to no other opportunities. • Historically, it was perfectly normal for Japanese men to have as many women as they could afford.

  4. Differences of Opinion • In America: • Men are not openly encouraged to spend time with other women. • Gender equality is a serious matter. Improvements have been made economically and politically to grant women as many equal rights as possible. • While different, Japanese opinions are still in the progress of change and will likely follow the United States in the future.

  5. Physical Project:Geisha for a Day The physical aspect of my project had to: - Display what I learned. - Be something I did outside of school with my mentor’s help. - Had to put what I learned into action.

  6. I became a Geisha • Becoming a geisha was the perfect physical project. • I had to learn how to wear a kimono. • Learn the names for all the accessories that go with one. • Learn how I was supposed to wear it.

  7. I became a Geisha Every project starts with tests. Before I could go all out with my “Day at the Museum experiment I had to make sure I knew how to wear my “kimono” and order my makeup.

  8. I became a Geisha

  9. Reflections and Key Points • This Senior Project taught me almost as much as learning about my actual topic did. • I had to hold myself to deadlines and really plan out my time. • I had to learn to organize my thoughts BEFORE writing my paper. • I had to explain a complex and broad subject to an average audience. • I had to actively take initiative in writing notes and taking down any key information during class.

  10. The End Any questions? Thank you for your time and for your attention.
