Content: When females married, they became a part of their husband's ie, or extended family. Sons other than the eldest son had to make their own way in the world and often left the family home to seek their fortunes elsewhere. In the modern era, some Japanese still adhere to primogeniture and other traditional practices. Others have adopted more modern ways. Japanese in the United States
Japanese who come to the United States must adapt to a totally different culture. They have been successful in many different career fields and in many geographical areas. In this sense they have assimilated into the American culture, but they have retained many of their traditional values. Japanese society has historically been a very group-oriented society. This characteristic could be observed in the early immigrant groups, who often pooled their resources to help each other succeed. The discrimination faced by Japanese living in the United States, culminating in the internment camps of the World War II era, probably contributed to the perpetuation of this group feeling.
