Passage Two
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 afterAnola 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 towardAmericans.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 oneAmerican woman living in Japan at the time.
The Japanese looked uponAmericans as crude and immoral, by their standards, as a melting pot without a culture of its own. They also underestimatedAmerica’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 ofAustralian 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 offAmericans, as did Japanese propagandA、Boycotts on Japanese products popped up inAmericA、
Culture clashes continue to leave gaps betweenAmerica and Japan. News of sexual slavery during WWII on the part of Japan, and anti-Japanese sentiments evident inAmerican societal products and business, keep the nations apart.
The examples of Kennedy and Mary were provided to ______.A．disguise some bad information
B．uncover the truth about Japanese
C．show the prejudice in the media
D．reveal the cultural differences
