| Research Abstract |
This report is characterized mainly by the bellowing three points. First, Unlike a Chinese family where blood relationship has on absolute value throughout one's life. Second, Japanese people were almost always ready to sacrifice themselves for the sake of a public cause. Thirdly, The cooperative work system prevalent among Chinese people engaged in agriculture may also have served to emphasize individualism on the one hand and suppress common good on the other. Thus there exists a racial gap between Japanese agriculture immigrants' society with regard to the way of thinking and living.
