Japan

Japan is an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of East Asia. The countries nearest Japan are Russia, China and the Republic of Korea.
The present form of the islands of Japan came about through slow collision of different moving parts of the earth’s crust, volcanic activity, and the resulting shifting of the ocean shorelines. You can see this dramatic geological history in the shape of Japan’s land. Much of Japan consist of high mountains with narrow valleys in between. In fact 68% of Japan is mountainous.


Japan’s mountains are one of its most beautiful natural features. The Japan Alps on the island of Honshu are very famous, but the best-known mountain in japan is undoubtedly Mount Fuji, the highest in the country at 3,776 meters.
Japan is completely surrounded by water: the Pacific Ocean in the east, the Sea of Japan in the west

Women Empowerment

In the last four decades, there has been a very significant rise in the number of lower middle and middle class women who seek employment to supplementheir house hold income. while there is little doubt that women from the lower ranks of society have always had to work in the fields or in petty jobs to sustain them selves and their families, there were strong objections and a marked reluctance among the middle classes to allow women to step out of the house to earn a living. their basic role continued to be gender- based, as daughters, wives and mothers. much has changed since independence.

Education, greater opportunities for acquiring diverse skills, growing urbanizations, rise in cost of living and growing aspiration for a better standard of living are among the many factors that have led to a continual rise in the number of women who seek a job, whether in the home of out side, in the process, erstwhile prejudices and barriers about women entering certain professions are breaking down.(171)

FARMING A LIVELYHOOD

Farming was once the chief way of life in nearly every country. People cannot live without food, and nearly all their food comes from crops and animals raised on farms. Many other materials such as cotton and wool also come from plants and animals raised on farms. Not many people farm for a living any more, but farming remains the most important occupation in the world.
Prior to the twentieth century, the typical American family lived on a small farm. They raised hogs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and planted corn, fruits, garden vegetables, hay, and wheat. Everyone worked long and hard, but the results were often meager. Families barely harvested enough food for themselves. This situation began to change during the last half of the 1800's and it changed remarkably in the next century. iving any more, but farming remains the most important occupation in the world.
