I was reading another thread and Ryuurui said something that made me ponder on it;

I'm taking this quote out of context, so I'm starting a separate thread on the topic, and I'm not pretending to assume what Ryuurui meant by it.
What is your take on the commercialization of Japan?
I have met over 500 Japanese people in the last year alone, I always ask them what their hobbies/passtimes/jobs are and what their families are like.
There's a wealth of knowledge I've learned from it, but it's obviously a statistically biased perspective due to the context in which I meet them, they are inquiring about learning English. Please keep in mind, though, that this is an enormous demographic in Japan and does in fact reflect a huge part of it's society.
To me, based on what I've seen first hand, Japanese people seem to be most concerned with keeping the peace and shopping.
