Katakana Mini Research Project

From this katakana mini research project, I learned that katakana usage do not limited to the loanword that do not exist in Japan. It is a very interesting project. Japanese prefer the remain the original pronunciation of a loanword written in katakana. Other than that, katakana is a form of creativity. Katakana can highlight out the main point of the brand or the word that we want to emphasize.

Additional information:
From the information I get, last time katakana content gender discrimination. In Japan, male status is higher than the female. So no matter how poor a family is, they will try their best to give kanji name to their son but for daughter they do not concern much.

Japanese society feels that successful person is the one who good in study.
