There are more differences between the United States and Japan than conflicting values during World War II. Cultural and societal differences between the two nations and its peoples shaped beliefs and perceptions and thus interactions within those societies and between them as well.
The Japanese media made sure to cast the United States in a negative light during the war. Even afterward, they would distort everything from Ted Kennedy’s car accident and the death of Mary Jo Kopechne to important battles and events. During World War II, newspapers tried to give the public what they wanted for morale. Positive news was widely broadcast, but anything negative was also distorted or hidden. Sons or husbands who died during World War II were heroes, for sure, but the concept of suicide missions was unknown to the Japanese.
The dropping of "warning fliers" by the United States before the atomic bomb was let go is controversial. Some feel they were fair and that the Japanese denied their existence and failed to adequately warn the people. Others think they were a part of psychological warfare, really dropped after Anola Gay flew off to Hiroshima, and merely acting as a doubtful precursor of any future attacks.
The war and the role of the Japanese government caused uncertainty and hatred among the Japanese toward Americans. Any of the few white people living in Japan sometimes had their houses searched --- not by the government, but by curious neighbors. "What I never got used to was my home being searched; nothing ever stolen, just investigated frequently," said one American woman living in Japan at the time.
The Japanese looked upon Americans as crude and immoral, by their standards, as a melting pot without a culture of its own. They also underestimated America’s ability to unite for a cause and develop such a powerful bomb, perhaps because of the broadcasts by the Japanese media.
The United States citizens looked down upon the Japanese as well, disgusted by the brutality of medical experimentation on human subjects by the Japanese government. The treatment of POWs angered the United States as well; the notable photo of Australian Sgt. Leonard Siffleet about to be beheaded with a sword didn’t help with anti-Japanese sentiments, which probably began with the "sneak attack" on Pearl Harbor.
Similarly to the actions of the Japanese media during World War II, the United States felt it necessary to dehumanize the enemy with bombs. Their refusal to accept defeat angered and put off Americans, as did Japanese propaganda. Boycotts on Japanese products popped up in America.
Culture clashes continue to leave gaps between America and Japan. News of sexual slavery during WWII on the part of Japan, and anti-Japanese sentiments evident in American societal products and business, keep the nations apart.
American disrespect for the Japanese is expressed in ______.
选项
A、winning the war with atomic bombs
B、stopping buying Japanese-made goods
C、using human bodies for experiment
D、taking brute revenge on Pearl Harbor
答案
B
解析
提示信息American disrespect for the Japanese指向第六和七两段。A的信息出现在七段开头,没有表达美国人“讨厌”日本的情绪。B来自七段最后一句:boycott(抵制)被置换成为stop buying。C源自六段,但是动作是日本人执行的,是导致美国人“讨厌”日本人的原因。D出现在第六段最后一句,但是不是“讨厌”的直接表现。
