FIRST FEATURE
Jonathan Reed, M.A., teaches about the intercultural relations
that are currently created between African Americans and Japanese persons
within the context of the international business arena. Contrary to popular
belief, successful relationships within the business arena do occur between
Japanese people and African American people. Read the following text for
what the author has shared with public minds.
Educating one's self about the cultural differences and similarities
of another's culture and history and people has proven to be one small
way of overcoming some biases and negative prejudices. In fact, there is
an increasing number of successful African American and Japanese businesspersons
who have indicated that their degree of success has stemmed from their
search for such intercultural relationships and educational opportunities.
Therefore, it is clear that these relationships between African Americans
and Japanese are indeed mutually beneficial to their business transactions
and work environment. Moreover, these businesspersons have established
a comradary within a profession that popular media has denied ever existed.
Japanese people may not meet many Black people in their neighborhoods,
but they do at the work front; and it appears that they like it.
