Twitter and Japan!

Of all the odd comparisons I can ever make, an analogy between twitter and Japan, sounds amusing for me to analyze. To start with, “Change” is the common keyword (for google search) between twitter and Japan. But the flip side is much fatter! Twitters are blitzkriegs While Japan took five decades to reach the target of change. Further I can define twitter in 140 characters while Japan would require a whole page of wordpress blog to describe. To make my views simple, I would like to split the total context into three scenes: One the reasons behind the change two the current scenario and three is the real change possible? The significant past: Post the world war, Japan with the help of its “big brother” Japanese economy soared at a pace as rapid as the comments on a celebrity blogs soar. The economic and social conditions improved and so did the health facilities. Soon, Japan reached the numero-uno slot in the average life expectancy which is now 80. The working population is declining rapidly as growth rate stands at the minimal. Hence the growth bills are reducing while the pension bills are soaring. When the fairy story was going well, the special guest called recession arrived to Japan a decade ago and hence pinks slips increased as the exports fell. Current scenario: The incumbents have been taught a lesson no doubt. But can this election be the turning point in japan’s history is the question that haunts me. I may sound obsessed about comparing all the odd ones yet my answer would be: Did sir issac newton ever knew that his third law could make human dream of exploring the universe ? On the flip side of this election loss of LDP can inject some level of instability in the government as the upcoming incumbants would be DPJ led coalition government. Challenges Ahead: Japan is hit badly by recession. The “ageing society” which I had mentioned earlier is a challenge. Population growth rate must be brought to a balanced state. The government has already announced cash incentives for the families basing on the number of newly born in their family. Job loss, combating recession are also major challenges. In terms of international policies (the task is although not huge) new rulers will need to stick to their nerves as the DPJ promised many a milestone changes in foreign policy. The “Tom & Jerry” nature of Japan- China relations constitute an important part of the policy. The additional dimension is “Big Bull” America. Will china extent a co-operative hand to Japan? The co-operation of China has an additional angle. China has obsession to extend its influence wherever it steps in! This factor might disrupt the friendship process. Even though it does, what about the BIG Bull? Forget about the American reaction as the next issue happens to be directly with America itself! There is a stern opposition in Japan in the issue of Japans support to America in the issue of Afghanistan. Can Japanese government betray US and go ahead with Beijing to gain command over Asia? Well as I see, both the policies are difficult to implement. Those polices would be of course best sellers for web users.Twitters track the event, facebookers will analyze as the bloggers will bash each other with abusive content ………………………………….. Seems like tough time ahead folks!
