First of all, we have to realize that what we have to change for Japanese High school Education is cramming for the entrance exam of Japanese university, especially Waseda university’s exam. It is not only from me but also from Vice president of Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Their test that a lot of test takers go in for does not have creativity. Also preliminary university entrance examination administered by the government does not have it, but the largest exam in Japan is only standard test for rejection of college applicants. Waseda’s test is very uniformed and it can be solved easily by verbal memory to score many many answer sheet over a very short time. Besides, its question becomes eccentric to screen students that can solve all the easy questions. All of them have no mean, it is never good for Japanese future. Many Japanese do not realize this thing.
Now high school education in Japan is said that it is collapsing. The reason that I think is very clear. Human beings are standing on the shoulders of giants, so newer generation have to study more than older generation. However, Japanese government decided that students had more “Yutori”. Yutori means relax or lighter curriculum. The Japanese education system was not good from the beginning, but the bad change had altered the system critically. You will feel the effect of that soon when you meet “Yutori” generation. As a matter of fact, I am the 1st “Yutori” generation, so it is true. For all of reason, I want to think high school education carefully.
TOYOTA the biggest company in Japan is now facing fierce criticisms for their problem of recall. I think the mean of this news is not only Japan bashing by America but also a symbol of a crisis of Japanese industry. There are two reasons I think so.
1. What is the difference between made in Japan and made in Korea?
2. The statement by American representative in this video (From FNN news), “the reliabilities of made in Japan were collapsed.”
These days I can’t tell the difference between what made in Japan and what made in Korea. In the past, Japanese capability of technology was the top of the world, but now that it is only illusion. There is almost no distinction in common technology of developed countries. Therefore, they sold cars with their old glory and capital strength. However, the bland was collapsed in the largest market. They will face hardship, but it will wait all Japanese company.
From now, Japan will have to make what only Japan can make. Only design can do it. It will lead technology and make strategies and tactics for making it better.
Patient social science clear up the needs of problem slowly. In this problem, what is aged society really want?
I don’t know which is true that aged society need good care setting or good care setting make aged society, but Japanese care setting is getting worse little by little. A one of the big reason of it is of course aged society. It is the lack of medical staff. Medical technology has been developing but the importance of human resource has been increasing rather than not changed. The most desirable solution is very high functional and very low cost robot. If they could replace the medical staff, the society would develop. (Regrettably, it would suffer from the lack of employment, but I don’t discuss about it here.) It can be imagined that the figure of the robot have many kinds, for example wakamaru a humanoid robot that works as a nurse or care robot directly and nano robot that works for human health invisibly. To achieve these robots, I think we need technology innovation and patient social science.
All people make to inborn and are unequal. It is clear but why?
All people have the same right and are equal under the law. It is commonsense but why?
Ground is the worthiness for all people but parts of them dominate it.
Time is the same value for all people therefore usage of it is very important.
Human beings can live longer in high technology society. It is a clear fact, therefore, it is natural for the modern society to become aged society. Normally it is not be a problem because of its generality, however, its steep gradient is just problem in Japan. The gradient shocked employment and national insurance system. I think that the problems from aged society and low birthrate can be distilled to these two problems. If we could solve these two problems, we would clear all. Therefore, we need employment and new insurance system.
I checked this blog. The author said that old people are working as a part-timer after their retirement. They have income from annual pension, so they don’t need much pay, and moreover, they worked for company for about 40 years, so they are trained and suitable to society. Therefore, the author concluded young people can’t work anymore.
The idea of the author is correct in some aspects, but I think it has some wrong points. It is because the author is premised on the unwarranted delusion that it will last long, but Japanese annuity system will be collapsed in the near future regrettably due to the aging society with a falling birthrate. Besides, young people will be rare anytime soon. My idea is that polarization of poor career people and rich career people will come. Rich career people can work long with good deal but poor career people can work only as a construction worker. According to my idea, Japanese government must make education platform and hiring policy.
Japan is now getting to aged society, and will become more. It has many problems but I think it is good thing for human beings. It is because it is natural for us to hope our long life. Thanks to advance of medical technology, we can live longer than before. It is very wonderful thing that ancient people dreamed. (Prof.Kawata said) Therefore, what we are now required is to solve the problems. It means to face our life. (Prof.Kawasaki said) I want to consider these problems.
Ansei Purge was one of the big turning point of Japanese history. Japan was at the center of maelstrom at that time, so there were many character involved this event and the detailed story was very complicated. Then, I stretch this story with selfish thought, the essence of this purge can be divided into two pieces. One is heirless problem and the other is harsh repression. The heirless problem that was the start of the series of events seems to be very Japanese one. There was a gray eminence behind the Shogun, not talent but the origins and the collusion decided a throne, they are still existing in Heisei era. In the repression conducted by Naosuke Ii, Sanai Hashimoto, Shoin Yoshida and other decent persons are killed or jailed. It was great loss of Japan. Since his state power was so strong and selfish, the restoration patriots resisted his politic, and after a year they killed him. I estimate Ii had a strong leadership but he couldn’t see through the future, therefore he is very unpopular.
