Before I die

This vedio was so impressived. My mother's brother was died when he was 49 years old. His death was sudden and unexpected. My mother was kind of in a depressed situation. She had losed her weight so much. She couldn't sleep enough. Me and my sister and dad were trying to encourage her. I thought people who die for young age can influence many people. Many people can be shocked and depressed. But people's age can't decide on their own. Of course I will be dead eventually. But I can prevent early death. I will try not to smoke. I also can be careful not to drive violent. I've started to think about death since my mother's brother death.

News stories

The most interested story for me is science. Someday little robots will go through our blood streams fixing things. Soom science may not longer need us. I chose this story because this is amazing development. Health care has been highly developed. I found one interesting source. According to newsdesk.com, Japan’s population is shrinking and getting older.

 According to a report by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), 23 percent of Japan’s population was 65 years or older as of April 2010.  Robots are seen as a potential solution to the population problem versus the politically sticky solution of allowing large numbers of foreign immigrants to fill much-needed health care positions and low-skill service-oriented roles.

"Quiet War"

 I used to rebell against my parents when I was a high school student. I tried to ignore my parents. I also styaed my friend's house until midnight and come home late. I don't even know why rebelled against my parents. It was sort of adolescence.

 But once got to the university, my behavior have completely changed. Because I knew my parents paid so much money for education in university. It cost so much money than I had imagined. Since then I have helped house work and have tried to study hard and attend classes. I realized that it's hard to make money by working part time job.

Internet

Surprisingly almost everyone has own computer today's life. Computers have made it easier for us to access a mass of information. They have also made it easier and cheaper to advertise our business. Also we can do business with anyone anywhere in the world. However, computers have also made it easier for criminals to steal our identity. Moreover children are more likely to sit in front of a computer and chat when they could easily speak with their friends on a telephone. There are good and bad points. Computer has been become our life easier and smaller.

Anthropologist, Wade Davis

 It isn’t unusual to see people of all different races, ethnic backgrounds or cultural groups living in one society. Such a society is a mixture of different people now. Since they live in a society is influenced by many social factors. I think it is much easier for different ethnic groups to live peacefully in large cities than in small towns.

 I visited in New York last year. New York is a not only large but also urban. However people live in harmony and respect for one another. I really surprised at this. There are still a lot of racial discrimination in Japan. We have to address in order to live in harmony. Moreover we have to respect one's identity.

Fitting In

Bullyig at school is quite becoming big issue in Japan. But teens tend to bully on the internet recently. It is called "cyberbullying". Children have killed each other and committed suicide after having involved in a cyberbullying.
My friend got an email which threatended him. It said that "you got to quit our school soon".
I totally surprised. I don't know why people sent him kind of that email. Then I resarched about cyber bullying.
 When it comes to cyberbullying, they are often motivated by anger, revenge or frustration. Sometimes they do it just for fun or because they are bored and have too much time. Many do it for laughs or to get a reaction.Education can help considerably in preventing and dealing with the consequences of cyberbullying. At first, we have to begin an education campaign with the children. We need to teach them not to ignore the pain of others. In my opinion, our society is too stressful and it affects children.
We have to educate children that respect others and to take a stand against bullying.

Equality in the Home

 In my opinion, Japanese people defenitely disagree with this idea. It is unaccetable to share house work.
 Times are changing. Even so we are not used to divide housework duties. The women is suppoesed to do most of housework and childcare whether employed or not in Japan.
 Both of my parents have job. My dad has two jobs  so he works almost everyday. He has only couple of days off in a month. How could my parents divide house duties? Needless to say it's impossible. My mom hasn't complained about my dad that much. She says he earns money that's ok. In my family case, I really don't know how divide house work duties. But if I get married, I would discuss about it seriously. And I want to help my wife in the future.
