It discusses social attitudes and values towards, for example, work, gender roles, family, welfare and politics, highlighting certain subgroups which have been particularly affected by societal changes. It explores social consciousness and concludes that although many Japanese people identify as middle class, their reasons for doing so have changed over time, with the result that the optimistic view prevailing in the 1980s, confident of upward mobility, has been replaced by people having a much more realistic view of their social status.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carola Hommerich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367563746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367563745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.40d","brand":"Carola Hommerich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057220841727,"sku":"9780367563745","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39cab53b-ad90-4bd6-9a2e-d4c8e7b545e7.jpg?v=1685045726","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-change-in-japan-1989-2019-carola-hommerich-9780367563745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
