Japan living and expressing themselves

About 92 percent of the Japanese people live in urban areas , The prosperity of Japanese society is visible in these cities. The downtown streets are filled with expensive, late-model automobiles and are lined with glittering high-rise buildings. The buildings house expensive apartments, prosperous firms, fashionable department stores, and elegant shops.Most Japanese people who live in cities and suburbs enjoy a high standard of living. Many work in banks, hotels, offices, and stores. Others hold professional or government jobs.n traditional homes, the rooms are separated by sliding paper screens, which can be rearranged as needed. Straw mats called tatami cover the floors. People sit on cushions and sleep on a type of padded quilt called a futon. Today, many Japanese apartments and houses have one or more rooms fitted with carpets instead of tatami and containing Western-style chairs and tables.


Coronavirus Impact on Way of Life 

 It is a part of the Japanese culture to wear masks and maintain “utmost” cleanliness during the routine life, so COVID-19 pandemic did not change much in the country.

“The only issue is there is no aggressive testing of people to determine whether a person is infected or not,” a software engineer who identified himself with the name Ahmad and based in Tokyo told Anadolu Agency.In their daily lives, the Japanese use hand sanitizers, wear masks, and maintain cleanliness, he said. Japan reported nearly 13,231 cases of the coronavirus with 360 deaths. Despite an aging population, questions have been raised as to why authorities were not holding mass COVID-19 tests. Ahmad said the government declared a health emergency but people had “already taken precautions and stayed home”. “People felt like the anti-virus measures were already part of their routine and continued their lives but there has been less mobility since the outbreak started,” he added. Wearing a mask has been mandatory in many countries in fighting the pandemic which has affected nearly 2.9 million people globally, while more than 203,000 have died since the virus first appeared in Wuhan, China last December.

 Economy   Outdoor market in Jamaica Roasting coffee beans  Jamaica is a developing country. The country has a high rate of unemployment and underemployment. Foreign aid and  remittances  (money sent home) from Jamaicans working abroad are helpful sources of national income. Tourism also provides much income for the nation. The leading tourist centers in Jamaica include Kingston, Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios. About a sixth of Jamaica’s people work in agriculture. Sugar cane is the most important crop. Other crop products include bananas, citrus fruits, coconuts, coffee, and yams. Farmers raise beef cattle, chickens, goats, and hogs. But the nation’s farms do not produce enough food for all the people, and so Jamaica must import much of its food. Mining provides much of Jamaica’s income. Jamaica is one of the world’s largest producers of bauxite. Plants near some of the bauxite mines remove a mineral compound called  alumina  from the bauxite ore. Jamaicans also mine gypsum and li

religious background;   Church and state   is a term that refers to the relations between churches and governments. The church-state relationship has been the subject of disagreements and conflicts throughout history. Today, the  separation of church and state  is a central principle of government in the United States and some other democracies. It seeks to protect religious freedom and to prevent discrimination or exclusion on the basis of religion. About three-fifths of the French people belong to the  Roman Catholic Church .
