War II affected the society and the political system of the
Japanese. The Japanese have always been a proud people.

Youth Sports Structure / Japan vs. the United States:
A 5 page essay comparing the structure of youth sports in
Japan to the structure of youth sports in the United States,
concentrating primarily on the schooling period that
equates to middle- and early secondary school in the United
States. Japanese students operate on a modified year-round
school schedule and the school days are much longer than
those of the U.S. In addition, more than half of the students
of middle school age also attend private tutoring classes
five and six nights each week, and three hours of
homework daily from the public school is common.
Japanese students have little time for sports activities of any
kind, and the structures between the two countries are very
different. Bibliography lists 4 sources. Ythsport.wps

administrative structure, it has allowed Japan to add
another, unexpected, export: professional baseball players
to U.S. teams. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Prosport.wps
