Sziasztok.
Megint megszorultam egy kicsit. Nem pontos fordítás kell, csak nagy vonalakban, hogy miről szól:
In a broader context, the Japanese social system is supported by the notion of seki, the view that, unless one is formally registered as belonging to an organization or institution, one has no proper station in society'. As seki pervades Japanese life fundamentally, most Japanese are greatly concerned about which koseki they are registered in and the form their entry takes. Nyuseki (entry into a register) and joseki (exit from a register) are cause for anxiety. The notion of seki also manifests itself in gakuseki (school registry), which is a national student dossier system. After death, one is supposed to be registered in kiseki (the registry of those in the posthumous world).
The ie system survives in community life in a visible way. Almost every Japanese household has a nameplate (hyosatsu) on or near its gate or front door. The plate displays the surname of the household, often with the given name of its head. In some cases, the names of all household members are exhibited, with that of the household head first and in slightly larger characters. While aiding postal workers, newspaper deliverers and visitors, these plates serve as a constant reminder that the koseki-style ideology permeates the psyche of most Japanese.
Though every society has some system of registration - such as electoral rolls, social security numbers, birth and marriage certificates -Japan's family registration system differs from others in using the household as the unit, packaging a range of information into each koseki, and socially ostracizing those who do not fit into the male-dominated conventional family structure promoted by the koseki system. This is why de facto relationships are usually kept under the carpet, although de facto couples as well as sexually alternative groups have become more vocal in recent years (see chapter 9). The small number of de facto relationships occur mainly among professional women who relish economic independence and good career prospects, and among lower-class women who have little to lose from negative public perceptions.
