Stereotypes about Japan
I've heard some stereotypes about Japan and the people in Japan and I'm wondering to what extent they are true, if they are true at all.

1. As most Japanese people are shy, you will not find many loud or outgoing people like the ones in some animes.
2. A lot of the pop culture and popular fashion revolves around cuteness and appearing cute or doll-like.
3. Women have a harder time becoming successful in the business world compared to men.
