This study examines how one aspect of globalization, Hollywood films, influences Japanese thinking as regards to human-nature relationships. A critical discourse analysis of the most popular cinematic texts in Japan during a five-year period (1997_2001) uncovers the latent ideologies and messages linked to a modern worldview. This interdisciplinary work evaluates the influence of these films by way of a descriptive survey of Japanese culture; data from a university student focus group; and an analysis of linguistic, behavioral, and attitudinal changes toward environmental issues. A holistic approach to curricular reform that grounds ecological principles in traditional perceptions of nature is proffered as a way of countering exogenous influences while restoring a sense of balance to the culture-ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46891595694231,"sku":"9780761835394","price":7009.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780761835394.webp?v=1770275197","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/influence-of-globalization-on-ecological-literacy-in-japan-9780761835394","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
