2.      Society

a.      Japanese

         Japanese people ( Nihonjin, Nipponjin) are a nationality originating in the Japanese archipelago and are the predominant ethnic group of Japan. People of Japanese ancestry who live in other countries are referred to as nikkeijin.

The Japanese language is a Japonic language that is sometimes treated as a language isolate.

         Japanese religion has been traditionally syncretic in nature, combining elements of Buddhism and Shinto. Most Japanese people profess to believe in both Shinto and Buddhism. The Japanese people's religion functions mostly as a foundation for mythology, traditions, and neighborhood activities, rather than as the single source of moral guidelines for one's life.

4.      Analyziz

A Perception Error : By Captain Daniel King, Bio Science Officer, Defence Research and Development Canada, Atlantic

                        A Perception Error can occur when the individual involved has detected elements (object, threat or situation) of the environment inaccurately (detection failure), whether the misperception is visual, auditory, olfactory, proprioceptive (seat-of-the-pants) or vestibular in nature. However, a Perception Error can still occur even if accurate detection takes place if the individual fails to attend to the information (awareness failure). Even if accurate detection and awareness of the elements are achieved, a Perceptual Error can still occur if absence of, or inaccurate, understanding of their significance takes place (understanding failure). Indeed, experience plays a role at this level, in that the information about the environment is processed by comparing it with what the individual already knows.

5.      Conclusion
