Increíble Japón

Es una de las historias más alucinantes que he leído últimamente. Es una anécdota real que cuenta Antonio I. Margariti en Economía para todos. Les recomiendo la lectura del fragmento que entresaco y del artículo completo:

[…] Es conocido el entusiasmo que en Japón despiertan las coloridas pinturas de van Gogh y Toulousse-Lautrec. Por eso, no causó extrañeza que el museo de Kyoto manifestara la intención de organizar una exposición de sus obras. Se dirigieron al ayuntamiento de Toulouse y al museo de Albi y aceptaron todas las condiciones que impusieron los franceses. Aseguraron cada cuadro en el doble del precio de mercado y, como muestra de gratitud, donaron al museo un modernísimo sistema de luminosidad y atmósfera controlada.

Cuando las obras fueron desembaladas en Kyoto, comprobaron que el cuadro “Portrait de Marcelle” había desaparecido. Días más tarde, la embajada francesa en Tokio recibió la visita de una comisión que confirmaba la noticia y le entregaron un cheque con la cifra asegurada, pese a que la compañía de seguros no había liquidado el siniestro. El embajador francés, viendo la humillación y congoja de los japoneses, intentaba aliviarlos, bromeando deliberadamente sobre el asunto y comentando que en realidad Francia había hecho un gran negocio porque cobraba más de lo que el cuadro valía. Pero tuvo que cortar sus palabras al notar que la aflicción de los japoneses aumentaba en lugar de disminuir.

El portavoz del grupo le explicó que el principal mensaje de la comisión no era entregarle el cheque sino comunicarle que el encargado del museo de Kyoto se había suicidado asumiendo su responsabilidad y, de este modo, limpiado su honor por esa mancha. Al retornar los cuadros a Francia, descubrieron que la tela desaparecida se había traspapelado en el depósito de embarque por descuido de los encargados del despacho aéreo. […]

    Cuando somos ajenos a la cultura de otro paises

    Como dice el autor del post … una historia realmente alucinante.

    uffff, esto huele a leyenda urbana

    Si los políticos españoles hicieran lo mismo que el japonés este (suicidarse para limpiar su honor)… no tendríamos políticos.

    Sí, los japoneses son tan diferentes, no? Los niños se suicidan cuando obtienen malas notas y los directores de los museos también cuando se pierde una pintura. Y todo esto es relevante porque “somos ajenos a su cultura”. No sé si me explico, pero lo que quiero decir es que me parece estúpido publicar una historia así. ¿Por qué es relevante? ¿Sólo para confirmar que los japoneses son tan “otros”? Es raro…

  9. Luis M on October 14th, 2006

    Y sí, parece una leyenda urbana. Eso de la “honra” y la “mancha” y el “honor” son puros lugares comunes acerca de “los nipones”

    So what is the College Equivelency Program? It is a established program by the College Board which allows students to get college credit at many major colleges including Cornell and Evergreen State College. There are a number of exams in dozens of subjects including Fire Management and Quality Assurance.

    Having taken many of the examinations for myself, I can attest to their validity as a great program to get low cost credits. Read a textbook on the subject; I myself read a text on Psychology. The next step is to apply for an examination through a testing center. Check the College Board website to search for test centers in your area. Depending on the area you live around there might be up to a dozen various test centers. Each exam costs around $55 but there is often an additional fee imposed by the examination center which often varies in price.

    At the test center, you’ll have to check in with the program manager. You will be brought into a room with terminals which run special software. The examinations are all done on computer and offer students outstanding flexibility in taking the test. One can go back to questions, mark them to look over, skip questions, see the number of questions one has left or any number of other operations. The program also features a graphing calculator should you be taking a proctored math test.

    One of the leading colleges which accepts Cpllege Level Examination credits is the Monterey Polytechnic Institute. Mont Poly is a private institution in Monterey, California which offers a variety of associates, bachelors, and masters degrees specializing in Business, Professional Development, Public Adminsitration, Human Relations, and a number of other majors in the arts and sciences. Prior Learning Assessment degree programs are also available. Monterey Polytechnic’s flexible schedule of lecture and correspondence courses are specialized for working adults. Monterey Polytechnic Institute is known as one of the most respected, credentialed, and cost effective colleges in the nation.

    So, what reason do you have to try it? If you are a senior trying to finish up diplome requirements, if you’re an expert in a field of study and would like recognition for it, or if you simply want to bypass the ridiculouslarge costs imposed by universities then College Level Examination Program is for you. It is very affordable, usually only $75 for the test and an admin charge that is almost always under $30. It’s definitely a perfect way to earn college credit based on what you already know without sitting through an AP course for a year. If you take pre-calculus in High School, for instance, there is no corresponding AP, but for college credit, consider taking the CLEP. It is one day of your life and only 90 minutes in length. Additionally, you find out if you pass immediately. Typically a score of 60 is usually good enough for credit for most colleges. You should check with your university for acceptance information.

    Yup

    There is no financial crisis

    What’s up? Bored in class here, decided to introduce myself.

    Well, tbh I had this experience recently. Here is what happened When I was done with school one day I headed out, I hadn’t eaten lunch so I dropped into this place for a snack and ordered a sandwitch and took it to a table and sat down after finishing it I realized I had not paid for it!

    Yeah evidently they were super busy and distracted because there was this manager/investor type looking around everywhere and talking to them.

    Why I had not noticed this was cuz my head was spinning over this disturbing thought I had about the recent stock market crash last year. . The fact is that nothing crashed except currency! All the people in all the companies are still there, all the technology is still there and not forgotton. Now obviously besides the fact that the dollar is known to have lost value the price of stock(in dollars) has also crashed. Now think! Shouldn’t the opposite have happened? How can stock value fall more than currency? It can’t! This financial crisis is purely psychological and those who don’t snap out of it are doomed to failure. Not that it matters much to me personally at this stage in my life though but my guess is that most people are fully unaware or only partly aware that most stock is currently undervalued and there will be no depression. This is so audaciously simple that it just goes over everyone’s heads. All of these figures of low growth don’t mean anything. Answer me this, if the growth of the last decade was 20% then what difference does it make if everything shrinks by 10% over the next decade? Answer, none! There is no crisis or as that one person whose name I don’t recall right now said, it’s just an opportunity.

    This is lone of the pernicious effects of affirmative action. In our PC/affirmative effectiveness mores, we verge to spy the achievements and promotions of minorities as a consequence of affirmative action policies as contrasted with of individual diligence and talent. This undermines these remarkably achievements.
    Another delinquent here is that it sets human morality at odds with the higher divine morality. If the higher justice is customary to judge the Holocaust, mischievous infection outbreaks, etc, as advantageous, while forgiving morality purpose mediator them bad, then the ‘good’ in each of these moralities are different. Admissible on the higher moss is not what we mean about good.
