Hi! Nice to meet you all.
Now, I'm writing a report about "Is Japanese shy?".
I try to contact with some people all over the world.
What do you think about Japanese personality?
For example,Japanese students tell few words in classes.
Even when their teacher asks them a question.
Do students tell their opinion aggressively in foreign countries?
And Japanese people doesn't try to speak to person who they don't know on the street.
I think this personality is changing gradually because of the internationalization recently.
But still now, many Japanese people think themselves"shy".
Please let me know your thinking about it!
(And I hope to hear about your country's personality too if you live in not Japan!)
I shall be glad to hear some opinions soon!
Thank you for reading it.
はじめまして！コミュニティの意図と逸れてしまっているかも知れませんが、英語にご興味のある皆様方なら
国際的な視野をお持ちかと思って載せてみました！
大学のレポートで、『日本人は内気か？』について書こうと思っています。
国際化と共にこの固定観念は変わりつつぁると思うのですが、
このテーマについて皆さんが思うところを教えて頂ければありがたいです。
海外にお住まいの方は、日本の学生と海外の学生の授業時の積極性の違いについてもご意見下さると幸いです！(><)
どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

I think japanese is shy that compare to other country's people. As you say,it's changing gradually.
It's really hard to show the real mind and real ability for japanese because we still have this thinkng like ''喋らないのが美徳''.How can I say that in English...
most japanese like person who is modest.
I have some experience like this that when I have gone to language school in canada.I was so suprised when I was in the class,other country's student always interrputs class when they have a question. Japanese doesn't do that because we feel it's impolite.We have been told it's not good maner.
Also we feel so shy if we answered wrong even in the class.also we have less oppotunities to speak in front of many people even though in the class I hope it's changing in all school.
now I'm trying to use English but it's not good.If you have a question, let me know please. I hope you'll make great report.

Basically, it seems to me that human are shy to someone unknown or even to something unknown, regardless the nationality.
And it seems to me that people from the old countries are more shy than American.
I think that the old countries have developed systems for the country folks to obey it intentionally or unintentionally, in it's histories.
However, The USA is a young country and she did not accumulate " must and mustn't" customs as much as the old world.
I think that shyness is a nature all people have, even in the USA.
Even though, it is true, in the USA, that they are trained and encouraged to speak out or express their minds in a public place.
Japanese are trained to have shame since they are a child and if they are not perfect of anything they do, this shame feeling may take over to limit their act.
Therefore, we, Japanese may need to train kids to speak out and express their thoughts and feelings in their classes, and train kids to think that it's nothing to do with the shameful acts.

The reason why the Japanese students tell few words in classes is not only because they're shy. I think they want to say something but they don't know how to say. They are old enough to study with Americans in English, but they don't have enough ability to speak. Just imajine that you have a little American kids in your college class. Do you think they can talk English and show what they think? I don't think so. That's why they can't answer immidiately to teachers' question.
And also, I agree with SA-YA. As she said, we're afraid to make mistakes. And we don't have much debate or discussion classes here in Japan. We don't get used to it. It's changing.
