The Identity of Asian Countries in Respect to External Influences: Examining the Cultures of Japan, Taiwan, and China. This paper critically examines the statement made by author Tessa Morris- Suzuki in which she suggests that being Japanese is "not constant or stable. Instead... it was contextual and changing." This paper supports Morris- Suzuki's belief that the culture of Japan was not a constant environment but instead was a static world in which the Japanese people assimilated various aspects of those peoples and cultures with which they interacted. The cultures of Taiwan and China are also discussed in order to better clarify this statement, where the culture of Taiwan appears even more prone to the assimilation of external influences, while China appears to maintain more traditional isolationist policies. 5 pgs.
