 [83]   [2017-2 A] Is the Japanese economy too dependent on manufacturing?
I do not think the Japanese economy is too dependent on manufacturing, and I have two reasons.
 
First, Japan has great technologies to manufacture things and makes a lot of profits by selling products in Japan as well as exporting them to other countries. Take the car industry for example. Toyota and Nissan produce a large number of automobiles that are sold not only in Japan but also all over the world. They are famous for their high quality, durability, and reliability. Even people in small, poor countries know the names and they dirve cars made by Japanese manufacturers. This indicates that Japan benefits the most from relying heavily on manufacturing.
 
Moreover Japan doesn't have many natural resources and largely depends on importing things. So, it is quite natural that Japan imports raw materials from other countries, manufactures products and export them to other countries. Therefore, I don't believe the economy is too dependent on manufacturing.
 
Second, Japan already has a wide variety of industries besides manufacturing. The agriculture industry produces a large amount of rice which can feed the entire population. The tourism industry is big enough to attract foreign visitors and get ready to accommodate them with great hospitality. Furthermore, the IT industry is well advanced where many people work as engineers. There are many different industries existing in Japan, which means the Japanese economy is not necessarily dependent on manufacturing only.
 
 
[ Agree ]
 
1. lack of natural resources
 
( import natural resources and export products )
 
natural resources are running out
political instability ( wars / conflicts ) makes the manufaturing unstable business
 
2. other countries will catch up with Japan in terms of technologies.
 
( Car manufactures in other countries can make better cars at much lower prices. )
 
3. more focus on IT and Agrigulture industry
 
 
[ disagree ]
 
1. with great technologies, Japan makes a lot of profits by relying on manufacturing
 
ex, the car industry ( Toyota / Nissan )
 
high quality products [ computers / TVs ]
 
Becuase of a lack of natural resources it exports finished items to other countries to make profits
 
2. a variety of industries
 
( service industries / IT / finance / education )
