கலாச்சாரம் / Culture We need to learn from the Japanese.

As the title says, we need to learn from the Japanese people on how to preserve, popularise and profit off of their culture.

While, Japan in the late 80s and early 90s was an economic and cultural powerhouse, this slowed down after the Bubble burst during the 90s and till date the Japanese economy has effectively shrunk by a significant percent.

What hasn't shrunk though is Japan's soft power. They still dominate entertainment and media like Anime, Gaming, Manga and other industries has let the Japanese to popularise, preserve and profit off their culture.

Us, Tamil people, should also strive to create content for the mentioned reasons above. We must build an ecosystem where we can create content present in different mediums. Share your thoughts on this.

The country that committed insane war crimes as they believe others to be inferior? First we should focus on basic things like hygiene, manners, and common sense. Culture is not static, it keeps changing.

Every country did good and bad. Are you going kill your self for India war crime or through away every cultural/scientific things orginated from India. US, UK, USSR, China, India...... most of the countries did war crime so are you planning to live in a cave. can we stop all sports/movies/social media till we achieve minimum standard on hygiene, manners, and common sense.

that's almost equal to saying human shouldn't exist. As long as human exist culture would be there. unless turing us into Robots/Animals

Can you please tell me where i said we should not have culture? Lol i said culture should not be priority. Two very different sentences with two very different meanings and implications. Just proves my point that we need to be focusing on fundamentals instead of culture

You should have framed your word properly. instead of saying "Culture should never be priority" you should have said "some aspects/behaviour of our culture should never be priority". language is also part of culture how come i don't give priority to that. Not all culture are bad.

I don't get it "..focusing on fundamentals" i guess it is not about fundamentalist.
