From the industrial revolution to today’s information age, the United States has led the world in creating the inventions and ideas that drive economic prosperity. America’s universities are responsible for 36 percent of all research in the country, including 53 percent of all basic research, and they help keep America at the forefront of the 21st century economy. The Federal Government has recognized the importance of university research by providing roughly 60 percent of all academic R&D funding. American academic research has benefited from the fact that the US remains a top magnet for the world’s best and brightest students and graduates 16 percent of all PhDs worldwide in scientific and technical fields.

    Different Dreams: An Examination of America' and Japan's National Characters An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Tori Alexandra Koenig Thesis Advisor: Dr. Anthony Edmonds Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 2008 Expected Date of Graduation: May 2009 1 Abstract When trying to distinguish what makes a member of one society different from an individual of another, the idea of national character often assumes a prominent role in the discussion. National character is the set of values that one culture treasures as the most important to the majority of individuals in that nation. This paper examines the American and Japanese national characters and looks at the fundamental dissimilarities between the two. In the United States, the definition of who is an American is based on whether or not the person appreciates the American Dream. As opposed the individualistic outlook that this ideal promotes, the Japanese share a sense of duty and view the group as the basis for society_ The contrast between these two views is clearly seen in the societies' reactions to national tragedies. To analyze this theory, I use the public's responses to the Oklahoma City bombing and the Tokyo subway sarin attacks as case studies. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Anthony Edmonds for all of his help throughout this project. Not only did he help me to create a better topic, but he also has guided me while I have worked on this paper. I want to thank Dr. Phyllis Zimmerman for her assistance with the Japanese character portions of my paper as well.
