   One can see what can happen to a country faced with pressures of Anglo-American neo-liberalism and obsession with consumerism for the past seventy years as Japanese culture has been turned on its head and its ugly Westernized sister culture reaches a total collapse structure. The problem of old Japanese being left to themselves and die a lonely and miserable existence could only have occurred with he corporatizatioin and branding of an economic culture that destroys and disrespects the dignity of the older person and Japan is the first place we are witnessing this epidemic reach epic  proportions.

I put full blame at the disregard of elderly Japanese people on globalization as much as I do on the evils and disrespect  of consumer brand and purchase product Youth of the country as Japan has been a country long brainwashed to put priorities into purchasing product by Western and Asian conglomerates of business. The result we see now is that about half of elderly Japanese live and die off lonely lives in squalor conditions with no love nor respect form those they played a part in bringing into the world and this is just wrong.

Japan has always been a neurotic and eccentric land but there always seemed one positive aspect of their culture and it was the importance of family structure and network but in recent decades this has been totally erased by the increase power of plutocratic globalized order with little time and patience for their corporate class to have its workers and underlings to take time to be caretakers for relatives. Luckily for South Korea this process has not been repeated and there is much resistance form economic forces looking to repeat this disregard for elderly relatives by the capitalist world that sees elderly people as wasteful thought and energy to market. The problem has gotten so bas in Japan that they have a word in Japan for this lonely solitary death of the elderly and it is called Kodokushi. The Washington Post did a story on this recently informing of a industry to clean an apartment up quickly after all the molding and maggots erase the corpse of the lonely elderly who die and are discovered montns later, but no where in this article to it blame the cutthroat obsession of Japanese consumerism and rise of technological computer and anime  obsessive disorders  culture for the basis of the problem and neglect for the elders of Japan.
