Course Description
Study of the structure, concepts, culture and development of Japanese society. The study includes the theory of classifying Cultural Institutions based on 8 human life needs (Koentjaraningrat, 1994: 14-17). 日本文化と社会Nihon Shakai to Bunka is a science that studies Japanese culture starting from clothing, culture, celebrations, clothes, etc. (and also touches a little on the Japanese way of thinking). This course is only studied to get to know Japanese culture in general. So, we can understand the differences in culture and habits of Japanese society and Indonesia (in general). The main reason we study 日本文化と社会Nihon Shakai to Bunka is as a starting point for understanding Japan as a whole. As an inducement to explore and learn more about everything Japanese. Especially the mindset of Japanese people which is related to their language. Because learning a language cannot be separated from the culture which is the background for understanding the language. We hope that in the future, by studying Nihon Shakai to Bunka, we will be able to open the gate to understanding the norms that must be adhered to when dealing directly with Japanese society. For example, if there is an opportunity to live or go to Japan, so that you don‘t make the wrong move. 日本文化と社会Nihon Shakai to Bunka is a science that studies Japanese culture starting from clothing, culture, celebrations, clothes, etc. (and also touches a little on the Japanese way of thinking).
