Japan Before and After

 Japan is a historical nation. The history is over 2000years. Now I write and analize about both acient and contemporary Japan. Especially, I point out language , political system and economy.

 Japanese language looks like a strange language in the world, because we always use 3 characters: Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. It is similar to use 3 characters both acient and contemporary Japan. However in contemporary Japan, we sometimes use some coined words. So some young Japanese people mix both Hiragana and katakana.

 Second, I mention about Japanese political systems both acient and contemporary japan. So our head of Japan has been emperor for 2000years. Before, emperors have huge power in politics. But now empero does not have a power in politis. So it is like a symbol although he is still head of Japan.

 Third, our omtemporary economy is similar to acient economy. The similarity is that our economy is affected by china through long time. The reason is why china has been huge country. However contemporary our economy is diffrent from acient Japan. In acient Japan, emporors and nobilities monopolized economical activites. But in contemporary Japan, all people can take part in economical activities.

In my conclusion, I pointed out similarity and diffirence of acient of contemporary Japan. So, I could find some similarities and diffeirences in language, political system and economy. If you want to analize, it is useful for you to point out similarity and diffirence.

the effect of divorce

The Effect of Divorce on Family Life

 

Dostoevsky said, “With love one can live even without happiness.” So if we find a person who loves each other, we often choose to get married with the partner. It maybe look like a wonderful. But Michel De Montaigne also said “Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside equally desperate to get out” So some couple sometimes want to get out from marriage. As a result, they divorce. According to a survey from Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (2009), about 251000 couples divorced in 2008. In international marriage case, the ratio of divorce is higher than normal marriage. I think that there are some reasons. For example, If you marriage foreign partner, it will be harder and more difficult for you to communicate with the partner, because of difference of language. Other reason is difference of culture. For example, Japanese people are usually shy and they do not usually tell ‘I love you’ to their partner. But some foreigner can not understand this thing. Then, some international couple often make a misunderstanding. In the worst case, they fight, bawl and hit each other. Finally, they will decide to divorce.

And what is the main reasons about divorce? First, it may be an inconsistent of character. So, couple share their times in private time. But if they do not feel comfortable in their sharing time, they often feel stressful and seductive. Therefore, it is important for couples to feel comfortable to keep their good relationship. Second, I think that relations with the opposite sex is another reason. That to say that, couples spend not only their partner but also their friends or workmates in daily life. It is a normal thing. But some people often get jealous when their partner talk with opposite sex. I think that it is not bad. However, some people doubt partner’s cheating, when they find that partner chat with other people or talk with the opposite sex. Third, some people beat partner, because of stress, rude character and drunk. If partner is rude, it is difficult for couples to keep the relationship. Fourth, some couples do not have enough knowledge to run family life, because they got married when they were too young like a 17 or 18 years old.  In other word, child gets marry to child. In this case, if they get pregnant and give birth, it is not easy for them to provide their babies, because they do not become self-reliant in economically and socially. Especially, there are many people who got married too early in developing countries. In addition to that, almost all them suffer from poverty.

And what is the effect of divorce? I think that if they have children, there are substantial effect to their children. For example, their children may be overcome with apprehensions, because they often see fierce argument of parents. Furthermore, some children do not have a good record in school, because they can not concentrate on studying and one parent does not have enough time to pay attention to children. Therefore, they will not work in good jobs in their future too. In addition to that, they can not get married with good partner, because they did not have a good experience of marriage when they were children. In parents case, some parents who divorced from partner often feel stressful and melancholy, because they do not meet their children many times after divorcing. If they live with children or live near place, they can meet in weekend or vacation. However in international divorce, it is very hard for one parent to meet his/her children, because some children went back to another parent’s home country.

In my conclusion, they are many bad effects of divorce in both parents and children. What should we prevent from these bad effects? I think that we have to think seriously about marriage. And if they decide to divorce, they need to have enough time to spend their children after divorcing.

Countries in three group

Countries in Three Groups

 

Over 400years ago, almost all countries were monarchy. This typical system was that one king or emperor controlled his country. Moreover some nobilities have their manors and peasants. That is to say that one people has huge power. So, it had existed from ancients time to recent times. Some peasants and slaves sometimes rose in revolt. But they always were put down the revolt. One of the famous Gladiator ( Spartacus) rose in revolt to the Roman Empire. It is called Third Slave War. Then many slaves also took part in the war. But unfortunately, they could not defeat the Roman Empire although they had fought against the empire for 2 years. So, I think that it is very hard for normal people to defeat huge power. However, there was a big happening that people could defeat the huge power from 1641 to 1649 in UK. It is called Puritan Revolution. In this revolution, Charles1 was executed by people. And the government power transferred from one people to national assembly and the public. In France, Louis 16 was killed with Marie Antoinette by French people in French Revolution. Today, Country can be divided into three groups: democratic countries, socialist countries and despotic countries.

 First, Democratic countries have fair and popular election, disclosure of government and freedom of expression. This democratic system is linked in liberalism, constitutionalism, capitalism and parliamentary government. And these days, Almost all countries adopt democratic system. Japan and Philippines are also democratic countries. On the other hands, some intellectuals point out that democratic system intend to be mobocracy. The reason is why the mass of people take part in the process of decision making and they decide a plan of action through election and national assembly. Unfortunately, All mass of people are not intellectual. Therefore, they are sometimes controlled by mass media and take action on their own feelings. However, almost all people support this democratic system, because democratic countries guarantee human right and free economic activity of people basically. Furthermore, all people can also take part in political movement and operate government through election and running as a candidate at a general election.

Second, there are some socialist countries in this world. When the age of mass production began as a result of the Industrial Revolution, the gulf between rich and poor became very wide. Many poor children and wage earner were worked at dangerous area like mine and unsanitary factories. Then, there were a few capitalist and many poor worker. So, socialist countries came into this world to correct this defect of capitalism. Therefore, socialist countries insist on restriction or abolition of market economy system, planned economy, social security and welfare state. Especially, the Soviet Union had had as huge power as America until Soviet broke down. The reason is why Soviet was one-party dictatorship and bureaucracy. In other words, socialist countries intend to be decomposition. Before the breaking down, there were many socialist countries in this world. But now, a few socialist countries exist. For example, China, Vietnam, Cuba, Laos, North Korean and Syria. But China and Vietnam’s economy are mixed economy.

Third, there are a few despotic countries in this world When the country was suffered starvation or the instability of a political situation, people hope that strong leader conduct their countries. One representative example is Nazi Germany. And there were some military governments too. For example, Cambodia (the Pol Pot regime), Iraq (the Hussein Saddam regime ) and Chile ( Pinochet Augusto regime). Today, there is still military government in Republic of Fiji and the Central African Republic.

notion of dream house

My Ideal House

 

I think that it is important for my ideal house to have both good location, functional, interior and outer decoration, house garden, family.

First, living in a good location is essential in my ideal house, because if the house is not located in good place, I often feel tired or mad. So, my house which is located in downtown is not good. Because, downtown has some dangers, bad smell, dirty and cramped. On the other hand, the house is located in rural area, my quality of living will be rich. Rural area has clean air, rich nature( rich forest, clean river, near beach), large land for living  and not crowded. If I live in America, I would like to choose Long Beach or Virginia Beach. These two areas are typical popular rural area in America. The ideal location is that I can go to a metropolis within 40-60 minutes by car or train. I want to live in rural area, but convenience is as important as rural.

Second, it is necessity for the house to have functionality. In the concrete, the house has to be strong from earthquake and fire. Furthermore, the house must be a barrier-free house. Then, my old grandfather and grandmother can live with me in the house. And I will add some security equipment in my house too. In addition that, I will ask architects to prevent water condensation when they build my home.

Third, I plan to decorate my house more wonderful and more wonderful. In my outer decoration, I think that my house is built of red brick like a Dutch style. So, the red brick house will look like elegant and dignified. In my interior decoration, I want a fireplace, a Persian carpet, a chandelier, a clockwork clock and a round table in a living room. And in my room, there is a big bookshelf. I can imagine that I grow pleased with myself with surrounded by many books and thesis.

Fourth, I attach great importance to make a good garden. For example, I will make a pond in my garden. And there are many fishes in the pond. Furthermore, the garden is coved with grass. In addition that, there are Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar and Audi in my garage.

Finally, I think it is the most important thing for me to describe my dream house is I can live with family. If I live alone in the house, I will feel lonely even if I can live a Luxurious house. My ideal house is need my wife and children.

Personality of important things

My Ranking of Important Things

 

Which one do you think that you’re the most important for your personally in  fame, power, riches or good looks? In my case, I think that riches are the most important for my personally, because if I am a rich person, I can get almost of things which I would like to get. In most countries, almost all  us adopt the capitalist system. Therefore, if I cannot earn enough money, I cannot live in this society, study in school and buy enough foods. On the other hand, if I can be a rich person or I was born in celebrity family, I can have many delicious foods, live in comfortable house and study in good school. So, Riches give us a wonderful life.

Second, I think that next important thing is power, because power is very close to relate in riches. For example, let all us imagine Imelda Marcos. When she was a first lady, she collected over 3000 pair of shoes and over 500 brassiere in Palasyo ng Malakanyang. The reason why she could do it is that she has a very large power with President Marcos. In other words, if we have a power, we can get much money and expand possibility more and more.

 Third, if I have fame in my life, it is better, because getting a fame will leave our name in the world after we die. For example, Andrew Carnegieis the one of the persons who  have millions. In addition to that, he was know one of a famous benefactor with steel king. After dying, I can not use all my entire fortune. But if I can get fame, I will be familiar with my name  by many people all over the world and my achievement is taken over by many younger people too.

 Fourth, I do not  think that it is not important for me to get a good looks. Because If I get a good looks by surgery, my ficial appearance does not give birth to money for me. Furthermore, the looks will decline with ageing. Therefore, I do not need to get a good looks. And I also think that polishing myself is more important than good looks.

 In my conclusion, the most important thing is riches for me. And Second is power, third is fame, fourth is good looks. So, if I am a rich person, I think that I can get power, fame and good looks in my life.

  Finally, becoming rich give us many happiness. So, we should consider how we can rich in our future.

About EPA problems in Japan and Philippines

 In 2010, Japan and Philippines concluded an economic partnership agreement(EPA). After becoming effective this EPA, Japan has accepted Filipino/Filipina nurses and caregivers from Philippines. In addition to that, We also concluded EPA with Indonesia. They work in Japanese hospitals or nursing home as a trainee to pass national examination of nurse and caregiver. However, The ratio of successful applicants is only 9.6% (2012). By the way, the ratio of successful applicants of Japanese people is always over 90.0%. So, it is not hard for Japanese people to pass the examination. Then, why is it hard for Filipino/ Filipina to pass the exam.

 

The reason is very simple. So, it is caused by poor of their Japanese skill, because they did not have a chance to study enough Japanese. I think that they need to understand not only standard Japanese but also medial Japanese to pass the exam. At least, they have to study Japanese more and more before they work in Japan.

Concept of beauty and beauty contest

THE CONCEPT OF BEAUTY

 

What is the concept of beauty? And can we define the beauty? Before, I investigate this concept from my 2 friends(Turkish guy and Italian girl). However, It is difficult for me to judge this concept from this survey, because the sample was a few.

But in general, I think that it is different of culture, period and religion. In history, there are many beautiful women in this world. For example, Cleopatra is known as famous beautiful woman. But Plutarch( one of the famous historian in the Roman Empire) said, her looks was not peerless, but she was an intellectual person. And Gaius Julius also admired her intelligence and voice. So she could speak Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac, Egyptian, Ethiopian, etc. Her case is a good example. Because, beauty standards is not only face but also other factor. But actress looks who acted her were good like Vivien Leigh, Elizabeth Taylor, Monica bellucci. Furthermore, beauty is affected by a figure. When We see the Venus of Milo, we think that the statue is beautiful. Why do you think so? One of the reason is mathematics. Actually, when the engraver made the statue, he considered the golden ratio. That is to say figure is also important for us to judge beauty or ugly.

How about the beauty standards in japan? In Heian period(1000years ago), the  standards was moon face, white skin, plump, long hair and small eyes. In Edo period(300years ago), the beauty standards was slender face, black hair, white skin, high nose and small mouth. This is a typical example which the standards changed through long history. Therefore, if we meet a beautiful women who lives in Heian period or Edo period, we don’t think that they are really beautiful.

However, I think that we consider face important when we judge beauty or  not beauty. The typical example is a beauty contest. Today, there are many beauty contests all over the world. For example, Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss international, Miss Earth, etc. There are also many beauty contests in japan. Almost of all winners have beauty faces. Of course, we have all of  taste in face. But in general, we can agree these faces are beautiful. In my conclusion, today the most important factor that we judge beauty is face. In other words, the concept of beauty is had control by “FACE”.   

Role of media

The Role of the Media in Our Lives

 

Today, it is easy for us to collect information in free, because we can watch TV or read newspaper and online news in internet. It looks like a flood. I also gather many information in these media. In statistics of Japanese newspaper company, over 5 hundred million people read newspaper and 1 billion people use internet all over the world. These media has very huge influence for people. For example, people could defeat some political powers in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. Their source of power was information on media like a twitter and facebook. Therefore, we have to think about the role of the media carefully as much as we can. If we do not, a tragedy of Nazi Germany will be repeated again, because Adolf Hitler has talented to use media. The media can also have a bad influence to our lives too.  In addition to that, if information from media is not correct, it will be easy for us to make a misunderstand. And we also have to have a correct knowledge not to be cheated by media too.

First, media gives many entertainment to us. For example, when we watch TV, we sometimes watch TV show, comedy drama, variety drama, traditional Japanese comic storytelling, anime and comic backchat. Why does media produce many entertainment contents? I think that the reason is we want restoration of serenity, peace of mind and joyful. In this modern society, we often feel stress in working, household, other private scenes. Therefore, if we watch entertainment shows in TV or internet, we can remove the stressful through taking pleasure in these media. And after removing the stressful, we will do our best in daily life from tomorrow. Furthermore, if we enjoy watching TV, we can also enjoy talking about the TV shows with family. Enjoying talking with family is indispensability to make a good family. So, I think that it is one of the good point which media has. Actually, Japanese anime is supported by many people all over the world. In other words, it is important for us to watch entertainment contents. That is to say, media provide us many joyful too.

Second, media provide not only entertainment contents but also educational contents to us. For example, Japanese student can study many subjects like math, science, English social studies in TV. Moreover, We can study many university’s subjects in TV and online. Almost all subjects are free. If you use internet, you can watch famous university’s lessons like a Harvard, UCLA, Stanford, other good universities. Especially, Udacity, Coursera, Edx are famous online university lesson websites that we can study free. Before, School shoulder the responsibility of education for students. However, media can engage in education too. So, the merit is that we do not need to go to school, because it is easier than studying in classroom. In addition to that, we can study good university subjects even if we are not university students. Maybe, it will be much convenient to study in the future. I think that this style is one of the function in media.

Third, media have to be requested as a monitoring device of political power, because media can gather many information about politics and have great influence. Today, there are TV program about politics and social problems. So, politicians often cheat people, hide bad information and insist only good things. Then we are often cheated by politicians because, we have less information than politician and government official. In this case, media has to collect information and convey to us.

Can japanese people understand Filipino time?

Filipino Time

 

 One of Japanese characteristic is being punctual. Generally, Japanese people are not late for an appointment in private scene and business scene. Many Japanese people can gather about 5minutes earlier from the appointment time.  It is called “Moving five minutes earlier” in our culture. But this attitude is not universal notion which is shared all over the world. Especially, they have “their time” in a southern and Latin countries.    Unfortunately, We have “Okinawa time” in the Okinawa area. Okinawa is most located in southern Japan. Being late over 30minutes is not rare in Okinawa area. Furthermore, we were permitted 200years ago in japan even if we were late. However, after we stopped closing my country to outsider and started to bring in the solar calendar, being punctual has been fixed gradually with developing industry. Therefore, when we ride a train, the announce: ”I am sorry to be late” sounds in the train even if the train is late about 10minutes.

 In comparison with Japan, It seems that they do not have the culture of being punctual in Philippines. Nobody came to the meeting place on time although I met many friends. If they are late only 10minutes, they seem be good in this country. This is say “ Filipino time”. It is permissible in private scene. But this Filipino time sometimes comes out life in society. In my case, when I went to meeting place on time, the staff did not come to there on time. And 30minutes later on time, she just sent an e-mail ”I cannot go there because I have another work” If I am her, I will send e-mail until the time. It is a common sense in our culture. Furthermore, I will apologize another day by face to face. That is one of general manners. But our culture is not always other country’s culture.

 So, how should we be on friendly terms with those Filipino/Filipina? In this case, one Filipino said to me “some Filipino/Filipina are sometimes late, then you should confirm where they are in now as soon as possible ” I think that this advice will be useful when you communicate with them.

terrosim and internation relationship

International Relationship for the Future

 

Today, there are some ethnic conflict, terrorist incident and genocide all over the world. For example, there is one ethnic conflict in North Ireland. One of the famous terrorist organization (IRA) insist that North Ireland should separate from UK and revert to Republic of Ireland. And they have tried to engage in terrorist activities like a bombing in mall. Furthermore, India, China and Pakistan have a territorial issue in Kashmir. Their armies sometimes crash by border line each other. In turkey, Iran, Iraq, many Kurds has been persecuted, because they are a minority race. In Philippines, they also have much damage from serial terrorism by Grupong Abu Sayyaf and Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

Why do these conflicts exist? It is not easy for us to define only one reason. However, I think that it is had origin in the difference of religion and culture. Religion is very precious. But the bad aspect intend to be exclusive. For example, Christian people do not accept the Koran. On the other hands, Muslim can not also accept that Jesus Christ is son of God. So, they think that he is only a prophet. In addition to that, people who have faith in a monotheistic religion can not understand polytheism.

So, how should we get over this obstacle to understand difference of religion, culture, race their principles and opinion. I think that it is most important thing is education. Unfortunately, we did not have enough chance to study other cultures, because Japan is an island and racially homogeneous countries. And we have few experience to communicate with foreigner. It’s a big problem. Because if we do not have enough knowledge about the foreigners, we intend to make a misunderstanding of them. And we sometimes have prejudice.

Therefore, when we are a student in junior high school, or high school, teachers have to teach other culture for students. If they can, we will learn other people more deeply

water problems and business in metro manila

Personal Hygiene

 

 In this world, 70% of planet is sea. But we can not drink the sea water. And the water which we can drink is under 0.1% too. That is to say, water problem is very important for us to survive in this world. Japan is called very safe and clean country by many people all over the world. Especially, we can drink an unboiled water through turn a faucet on. Of course the unboilded water is not really good taste. But if we drink it, we will not have a stomachache. In other words, Japan is very advanced hygiene maintenance country in this planet. However, some developing countries hygiene maintenance is not good.

 For example, how about Philippines hygiene maintenance? I think that it was improved dramatically after the privatization of water supply business even if it is still under development. Before the privatization of water supply business, people who live in metro manila could not get enough water through 24 hours. And some poor people had stolen water. Of course, they could not also drink clean water. Therefore, improvement of water supply business is great for the poor people. Especially, when President Joseph Estrada decided to place under private management of the water business, Japanese company (Mitsubishi commercial company) cooperated with the Ayala financial group and newly join the business.

 I think that Philippines government should cooperate with many Japanese companies, because these companies have many good technology skill for the water problems. For example, One Japanese company has a technology which they can construct a desalination plant. So, they have already constructed in in Qatar. And another company developed an apparatus for purifying of rainwater. Philippines is one of the island and tropical country. Therefore, I think that these technologies will be useful and helpful for Philippines water problems in the future. In my conclusion, high quality technology is necessary for people to solve the personal hygiene in Philippines.

International comunicating

An  Observation of Lunch Party

 

This essay is an observation record about the lunch party that I attended last week for international students in my university.The members were almost of all Asian people. For example, Chinese, Turkish, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Iranian, Myanmarese, Taiwanese, Thai, etc. Especially, Chinese and Korean students had a majority in our member. In comparison with, Japanese student was only me. So the Japanese student was like an endangered species. And this difference of ratio shows the difference of English educational enthusiasm. That is to say, Chinese and Korean students think that studying abroad is useful for them to get a good job. Because if they speak English fluently, they can communicate with foreign people. And Standard language used in business scene is English. However, few Japanese students study abroad because almost of all them have an inward-looking.

Furthermore, that party had both good point and bad point. The good point is, we could communicate with other international students, many sisters, professors and staffs. Furthermore, I could eat some good Filipino dishes. Especially, Turon was really good. Later, I will try to cook Turon in my condominium.

However, there were so many bad point in the party too. First, the host could not do a job in efficient steps. For example, a microphone’s condition were not good. It prevented our program from proceeding smoothly. I think that they had to check the microphone before. And the presentation kept us from eating lunch. Therefore, the lunch was not warm.

Finally, I think that this party was good although the party had some bad points ”

Cigarette avdertisement

Reasons Cigarette Advertising Should Be Banned

 

 In Japan, it is normal for us to buy cigarette in convenience stores and vending machines. In other words, it is also easy for children to buy cigarette in these stores although we can not buy cigarette until they will be 20years old. Furthermore, cigarette companies advertise their products in TV commercial, train, bus, web site, store and vending machine. And today, one of the famous Japanese cigarette company (JAPAN TOBACCO INC.) advertises their volunteer and corporate support of the arts in TV commercial to raise their company’s image. But, I think that government should ban cigarette advertising. So, I have some reasons about that.

 First, smoking can have many problems in our health. For example, if we smoke cigarette fluently, a risk of lung cancer will be raised and other cancers. According to a survey(2012), amount of person who died by smoking is about 120000 people per year. The survey was collected by Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. If you do not want to die by cancer, it is obvious that you should not smoke.

 Second, if we allow cigarette companies to advertise their products on TV, newspaper, magazine and journal, it would affect the children more bad. For example, their advertisements recommend that children to smoke, because advertisements are very cool and trendy. And children have a desire to do any forbidden things like a smoking. The average of smoking experience about Japanese high school students show that over 50% male students and around 30% female students have an experience of smoking. In junior high school students case, one- third students also have an experience of smoking. This result does not have no connection with cigarette advertisements, because advertisements are inflammatory for children.

 Third, almost all cigarette advertising pictures are pictures that men stand with smoking. It is also a big problem, smoking while walking makes small children dangerous. For example, it is possible for small children to be burnt by flam of cigarette when people smoke while walking, because a position of the cigarette is close in children’s face. In fact, some small children were burnt by the flame. And I have heard that one child lost the sight of one eyes to be burnt. In Japanese, some local governments enacted street smoking ban ordinance for protecting small children.

Fourth, smoking also has not only cancers but also other problem. One of the problem is passive smoking. The passive smoking gives some health problems to us. For example, sore throat, cough, headache, nausea and asthma. According to WHO, the amount of person who died by passive smoking is about 600000people all over the world.   

 In my conclusion, smoking has many problems and dangerous. In other words, it has no redeeming features.

 Finally, government must ban cigarette advertisement as soon as possible to protect children and other people’s health. And the advertisement affect a bad influence. If they do not, many people will die because of smoking and passive smoking.

Philippines's enviromental problems

The Philippines which a Japanese researcher of environmental law saw

 

 Now I have studied abroad in manila(a capital of Philippines). I spend a plain life in the city without hindrance. But I have many topics that I should write a journal about urban environmental problems in this city. because I major environmental law.

In comparison with Japan called ‘an environmental advanced nation’ in general, I can not help but say that the urban environment is so bad. They always have traffic jams from morning to night in main streets. And these massive amounts of exhaust gas are always released every day. In addition that, many city’s rivers runs thick, a lots of wastes float up in rivers, there are bad smells even if you are away from a riverside. Furthermore, cityscapes are also bad because many garbage are in streets, it is hygienically bad. That is to say, ‘Manila has both Air pollution, Water pollution, and the issue of waste ’.

Well, what is the main reason of these environmental problems? I will focus on the Air pollution in this journal. At first, I think that this problem is caused by undeveloped railway network. In fact, they have a few railways, and don’t have subways although the population of Metro manila is over 20000000people. Therefore, Manila cannot help being an automobile society, and it closely tied chronic traffic jam, emitting a large amount of exhaust gas. Moreover, a lot of cars which is running in the city are almost of old-model cars. In addition that, many Shared taxi called Jeepney are running everywhere in this country, these jeepneys are running with emitting black smoke.

So, how should Philippines government solve this Air pollution? I think that the government has to grapple with three projects at least. First, the government has to change an automobile society to a railroad society to extend railways. Second, they should establish subsidy system of buying eco-car. Third, they should abolish jeepney and create jobs for jeepney drivers. If they grapple with these projects, they can decrease Air pollution because the root cause will be cut off. I also think that if they don’t do that, this problem cannot be solved forever.

Japanese english education from now

Japanese English Education from now

 

I think that Japanese people is citizen who are the poorest at speaking English in developed countries. The reason is Japanese government has not attached importance to speak English in our English education although many disputants have already pointed out this fact. Therefore, few teachers can speak English fluently because this present continues for decades. I also suspect whether English teachers can speak English fluently or not.

This reason is very simple. So, there is necessity for us to speak English is close to nil. Japan does not have an experience which is dominated long-term by English-speaking countries. Furthermore, Japan is not a multiracial country. Therefore, it is enough for us to speak only Japanese in daily life.

However, the international society came to a stage which people, commodities, money and service come and go frequently nowadays. And we cannot avoid touching foreign countries somewhere. In additional that, this tendency will not be stopped. After that, when we encounter some scene which we must communicate with foreign people, we must speak English to communicate with them. These days, our government has started English lessons in primary school. But I doubt this effectiveness because we could not get English speaking skill although we had studied English for 6years.

So, how can we get English speaking skill through our English lessons in secondary education? I think that the government should change English speaking lessons to be a main in English lessons at first. Because if we don’t have little chance to speak English, we cannot get English speaking skill. Second, they should promote a chance of studying abroad for students. If students have the chance, they can improve their English skill dramatically. Third, they should increase amount of ALT(Assistant Language Teacher) in junior high schools and high schools. Fourth, I really think that when people get a teacher’s licence, the government should impose them to career of studying abroad. If they do, almost of teachers in secondary education can teach each subject in English after 30 years. 

 Finally, if the government really would like students to be a talented person who can make out in the international society, they should change our English education in secondary education as soon as possible.
