Özet:

 

The Japanese government announced Society 5.0 on November 7, 2016 as a development project with the goal of a technology-themed and human-centered society with the aim of improving human lives. Japan explained the  main  mission  of  this  program  as  facilitating  and  serving  human  life  through  technology  and  contributing  to  a  comfortable  and  long  life.  This  announcement  discussed  the  organic  bond  between  Industry  4.0  and Society 5.0; the goals of Society 5.0; the aspects affecting, changing, and transforming individuals and society within this framework; the new relationship networks and cultural elements; and their impact on values and  meaning,  individualization,  and  objectification  of  the  individual.  Since the inception of the idea of panopticon, the control, inspection, and surveillance  of  public  and  social  order  have  been  treated  as  a  culturally  romantic and engineering critique of technology in the connection of the power-individual  relationship.  This  article  examines  if  Society  5.0  will  be  able  to  accomplish  a  postmodern  structure  through  a  new  culture  (i.e.,  acculturation).  In  the  search  for  answers  to  these  questions,  this  article  analyzes the situations that would occur in place of human relations and the structures that will be changed in the targeted social order.
