"Around 1980many Japanese deserted the values of economic success and began searching for new sets of values to bring them happiness,"writes sociologist Yasuhiro.Japanese youth are placing more importance on the individual pursuit of happiness and less on the values of work,family,and society.
Japanese students seem to be losing patience with work,unlike their peers in the United States and Korea.In a 1993survey,only 10% of the Japanese regarded work as a primary value,compared with 47% of their Korean peers and 27% of American students.A greater percentage of Japanese preferred easy jobs without heavy responsibility.
Family values are losing among younger Japanese as they pursue private satisfaction.Data shows that only 2304of Japanese youth are thinking about supporting their aged parents.It appears that many younger-generation Japanese are losing both respect for their parents and a sense of responsibility to the family.
Individualism among Japanese is most pronounced among the very young.According to 1991data,50% of Japanese youth can be labeled"self-centered"To earn the label,the young people reply positively to such ideas as"I would like to make decisions without considering traditional values"
Diminishing social responsibility is tied to individualism.A study comparing society-conscious youth found that the Japanese had slipped far behind American and Australian students.Only 11% of Japanese youth said they get personal satisfaction in doing something on behalf of society while four limes as many Americans said so.
