The reason why I chose to study the amae concept is because I thought it was interesting how the Japanese people have a different type of relationships with people depending on who they are and they act and behave in a certain way round those certain people while in the U.S. we do not do that and we treat strangers the same way we treat everyone else who we are close to because Americans are more opened up towards people while the Japanese seem more closed off.
What I want to study about this amae concept is why do they Japanese have this certain status rules towards every different relationship and how do they behave and act towards each specific relationship such as towards a teacher, friend, brother, and parents and how each relationship is treated differently. I want to study this concept because I want to know some of the Japanese cultural rules in society on how you are supposed to act and behave around certain strangers or around people you work with such as a teacher or your boss at work.

Some of the things I would like to do in Japan is eat all of the variety of Japanese food there that I had never tried before along with going to the temples and purchasing a amulet from there.What I plan on doing in order to prepare for this is saving up lots of money through financial aid and purchasing a phone with wifi that has google maps so that I can find my way around the country without getting lost.Some of the things that I fear is getting lost and not being able to find my way back to my dorm if I go out to the grocery store to buy groceries that is a little distance away. I also fear getting homesick and not being able to pass my classes from not being able to understand the class instructions very clearly because it will all be taught in Japanese. Another thing that I fear is loosing my luggage at the airport if I have to take a connecting flight.
