The japan syndrome is a non-profit on-line documentary project that tries to make a theory about the root causes of the different social pathologies that has grown in Japan in the last centuries due to the social, economical and political influences world wide. While there are a lot of countries in state of crisis Japan has a lot of symptoms of social stress that came in the form of very different and unique social ills.
Every single country is in an advanced state of social stress mainly due to the prevailing values system practiced and honored by the monetary system at all stages, from automatic slavery due to debt to an aggressive competence that generates pain and conflict in all levels of society.
The Japan population has developed a considerable amount of social ills such as the hikikomori syndrome, the massive suicide rates, the unbridled consumption, the salary-man effect, the karoshi phenomenon among others.
So the main objective is to show that this illness is not because of the human nature or an specific cultural/social Japanese disorder but because of the global pressure coming from the whole values system. A system that belongs to ancient times but still self-perpetuating, along with his supporting institutions.
