Thesis Response 1

The first thesis I choose to look at was Masayo Kimura's.

The topic of the thesis is when traditional things ,either they are food, items or even lifestyle, are brought over from other countries how we shape and change things to met how we view them, not how they really are. The example of the Japanese Restaurants. In Japan they what we consider a Hole In the Wall type place, good inexpensive food with large portions. However when the restaurants were brought over to the United States, we changed them. We made them in to large fancy things, with expensive food and small portions. What I would like to see are example of the same thing happening in other countries. How they view the United States and what they do to change our traditions to meet their needs.
