Japanese Do Not Fear Robots

               The purpose of the article was to inform us as to why westerners fear robots compared to Japanese people that do not.   Japanese people have no fear of robots whatsoever and actually find excitement from the idea to utilize robots.   There are different factors like religion and history that come into play to help explain why there is such a big difference in the way that westerners and Japanese view robots.                The author points out the idea that westerners “concept of humanity is limited” and challenges the audience to question themselves whether we humans have the right to exploit robots just because we are human and robots are not.
