Similarly, while non-government organizations (NGO's) are a dynamic component in most societies nowadays, Japan has few, and major international NGO's are nonexistent or have only a weak presence. Oxfam, one of the world's leading NGOs, with offices and branches all over the world, is absent altogether.
与此相似，尽管非政府组织（NGO's）今天在多数国家都充满活力，但在日本却少之又少，国际主要的非政府组织甚至根本就不存在，即便存在力量也非常微弱。牛津饥荒救济委员会是全球最大的非政府组织之一，办事处和分支机构遍布世界各地，但在日本却踪迹皆无。
