Subject: Choose a country to focus your Summative Research Report due at the end of the semester.

In this Semester, I want to do a research report about Japan. There have three reasons, the first point is because I like Japanese culture. Japan has a lot of similar cultural heritage with China, especially in terms of architecture, food, and etiquette. The second reason is that I like the spirit of Japanese study. They often need to spend more than ten years to complete one thing. Compared to the current impetuous society, a lot of knowledge can be learned in them. The last reason is Japan's environment, compared to China's air pollution and water pollution. The Japanese environment is the reason why I want to understand this country.
