Kenta Nishida

     Hello! I’m Kenta Nishida. I was born in Shiga prefecture, but now I live in Tokyo. Actually, I love my hometown, Shiga, because it is surrounded by a lot of mountains, and I can enjoy the picturesque view of Lake Biwa! I also love visiting Kyoto since it has a lot of temples and I feel relaxed whenever I spend my time in Kyoto. From my hometown, it takes only 30 minutes to go to Kyoto.

     At my university, I major in financial engineering. Finance uses not only economics but also statistics and mathematics, which makes me excited. Luckily, I will become a stockbroker from next month. I cannot wait to start my job! I love thinking about why the stock price goes up and down because I can understand what is going on globally by checking the stock price. 


     As for my free time, I am into music. Especially, I love listening to HIPHOP music! In addition, I am absorbed in watching American series of dramas. Currently, I am watching “Mentalist”! I also enjoy doing yoga, taking a walk in the morning, so I make it a rule to wake up early in the morning! Nice to meet you!

    Hi, Kenta. What a nice essay this is!
    Actually, I was born in Shiga, but I move to Yokohama when I was 1, so I don't remember any sceneries there. It's nice that you can go to Kyoto within an hour from your hometown!
    Financial engineering seems cool because you can objectively analyze the current situation in the world. You will work as a stockbroker and make the most of your financial knowledge, that's awesome.

    Thank you for sharing the attractiveness of your hometown, Shiga. Actually, I am doing a project in which our group is trying to suggest a plan to revitalize certain area in Shiga, so I would like you to tell me more about Shiga!
    Besides, your job sounds really interesting and cool! It seems to me that catching up changes in stock prices is difficult because the prices is always changing.
    Watching American drama sounds very nice hobby and seems contribute to widening your vocabulary!

    Financial engineering sounds very interesting. I've once taken the classes of economics, but the mathematics used as a measure of solving the economical problem was too complicated.

      Actually, financial engineering is such an exciting field! Maybe the combination between mathematics and society is the point I love about economics!

    I have fond memories of a day spent swimming in Lake Biwa once. Indeed Shiga has many beautiful spots.
    The very best for your job. I hope you are able to advise your clients well so that they can help support companies that are making a positive difference in the world and make some healthy profits in the process.

    My grandparents' house was located in Shiga, so I have been there many times. However, since I was a small child then, I do not remember much about Shiga. I want to visit Shiga again soon.

    First of all, the sentences you wrote above are totally lovely and friendly. I thought a stockbroker is a man who seeks for the money but it has turned out to be wrong. Stock prices have many things to do with the global situation and you want to understand why the price is going up and down and what is going on over the world at the same time. That is insightful.

Should individual countries have the right to interfere with the affairs of another country?-Shogo Moro, Erina Kon

Image
     The principle of non-intervention in the domestic affairs of another nation is enacted by the Charter of the United Nations, and globally accepted. However, should individual countries truly have no right to interfere with the affairs of another country?      It is widely believed that every country should have the right to decide their policies independently. Interference often leads to one-sided demands and unreasonable dominance, which contradict the benefit of a country which receives them. The history of colonization obviously reveals the existence of conflicts and exploitation as a result of outside intervention. Additionally, Russian invasion of Ukraine indicates that interference in the affairs of another country results in a terrible situation even today. On the other hand, although interference in domestic affairs induces many problems like this, the principle of non-intervention sometimes causes even worse influences.      Sup...

Do students have to pay their own college fees? (Kana Shimamoto and Taisei Hamaguchi)

Image
Have you ever thought about student money? In Japan, the population is declining year by year, resulting in an aging society with fewer children. Fewer people paying taxes and higher social security costs put pressure on the national budget, necessitating cost cutting. So, is it no longer necessary for the government to subsidize college tuition? Should students pay for college? Firstly, In Japan, the age of adulthood will be lowered from 20 to 18 this year. Students become adults when they enter college and must take responsibility for their own. In addition, students will be able to take out loans from the age of 18 accordingly. Therefore, the environment is conducive for students to pay their own college tuition.  Second, Japanese universities are not that expensive compared to other countries. According to data reported to the U.S. News in an annual survey, the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2021-2022 school year is $43,775 at private colleges, $28,238 for out-of-stat...

Agree or disagree? To interfere with the affairs of another country - Minori Sato, Kanon Sunayama

Image
These days, Western countries have started economical sanctions on Russia and Belarus because of the Ukraine-Russia War. Is this a good way to solve these issues? First of all, do Individual countries have the right to interfere with the affairs of another country? Some people agree with this, others say no.  First, If countries get involved in the affairs of other countries, especially in the time of war, the affairs will prolong and there is a risk of making the situation even worse. As a result, civilians might suffer for a long time. Additionally, even if the affairs of one country get complicated, for example, the case of North Korea, we don’t know how to be engaged. Sometimes independent decisions may increase the risks and make the situations more dangerous. However, the affairs of another country strongly affect ours. Doing nothing is not the right thing to do for the sake of our country and our peaceful life.  In a globalized world, we are related to each other. For e...
