Chapter 93 The "juvenile jump generation" satisfied with small happiness
I have some opinions about Japanese people of different age groups.
The first is the "juvenile jump generation" who grew up with reading. They are the second generation who have experienced deviation value education. Compared with their parents, they have less thinking ability.
They grew up in the late 1980s, when "Youth Jump" was selling well, and even the media praised it for a while. By the 1990s, it had sold more than 6 million copies.
The whole book "Juvenile Jump" is compiled based on the principle of describing the three elements of "hard work, friendship, and victory", and the stories in it are also developed based on these three principles.However, some of the stories in the book promote short-sighted views, such as "It would be nice if I could become friends with the beautiful female clerk at the nearby ramen restaurant." The victory described in this book is not a victory in the social sense, but a victory in the surrounding A triumph of little things.Tiny dreams and friends in a narrow range can make them happy. I don't deny this worldview, but to a certain extent, this book is promoting "closed" and wants people to learn to be content.If everyone is only satisfied with these small happiness, then who else can promote the development of Japan?
We should really be concerned about this.
The writing principle of "Shounen Jump" is very successful if you think about it from the perspective of a commercial magazine, but if you look at it from the perspective of its influence on the minds of children (now the core force of society) at that time, I think it is terrible. .Because it does not promote the spirit of indomitable spirit, but promotes the idea of "small wealth is safe", and it turns out that it has finally created a large number of short-sighted people.
On the contrary, if children are allowed to read books like "Three Kingdoms", they may be able to exercise strategic vision and organizational skills.Excellent children's books and literature can cultivate rich emotions in children.In addition, adventure and history books can open a window to the world for children.
The plots of the stories in "Youth Jump" are usually very simple, and the "ends" of the stories all end in victory, so there is not much room for readers to think.
After 2000, the sales of "Shounen Jump" began to decline significantly.Although the decline in birth rate is the main reason for the decrease in the number of children, if the decline in sales is caused by the fact that children today cannot understand such a simple story, it is often heard in recent years that children are reading When I was writing comics, I even complained that it was difficult to read the names of the characters in the comics.In this regard, there are many analyzes pointing out: "Reading serial comics is troublesome", "It's not very interesting to read inspirational comics (comics that promote friendship and victory are more interesting)".But in any case, juvenile comics will not cultivate people's thinking ability.
