Natsumi Fujita

 I was born in Kagawa, which is in south-west Japan, then moved to Tokyo after I entered the University of Tokyo. 

I have a bachelor's degree in sociology and now I am in my second year for my masters in public policy. I'm interested in gender inequality in Japan. While in college, I'm undertaking a wide range of part time jobs; a waitress in a cafe near the university, intern in a medical startup company, and online study coach supporting students.


My passion is dancing. I practiced ballet for 10 years. In high school and college, I belonged to the cheerleading team. I really enjoyed dancing with my teammates and cheering up a lot of support teams such as the baseball team, the soccer team. Now, I enjoy dancing with Korean-pop music. 

My other passion is flower arrangement. I can embrace four beautiful seasons through flowers and express my feelings by arranging them as I want. 






Starting next month, I'm working at a consultancy firm in Tokyo. I'm excited to support our clients(If I can, I'd like to be engaged in the industries such as consumer packaged goods and healthcare systems) and contribute to improve the productivity in Japan. I'm looking forward to working with my colleagues from all over the world to boot.

    You're very active. I want to see your flower arrangement and dance someday :)
    I'm very curious about being an intern in a medical startup company. Why did you decide to work in that company? If it's okay, please share your experience more.

    I have been to Kagawa before, and I remember a lot of beautiful sceneries! I think you were born such a nice place!
    I think public policy is very interesting, isn't it? If possible , I'd like to learn about it in the future. I am very surprised to hear that you have experienced a variety of part time jobs! I imagine you could learn a lot of things!
    Dancing is very exciting. I am into music, so I sometimes watch tiktok videos in which young people enjoy dancing to the music! And the flower in the post is really fascinating! I love this picture!
    I hope you can enjoy your future job!

    I am poor at dancing, so I must be surprised if I see you dance. I think it must be fun if I practice and become good at dancing, but I don't have enough energy to do so. I also respect you for doing a variety of things!

    Hi Natsumi, you certainly do seem to have had a wide range of experiences and to have a lot on your plate at present. I'm guessing, though, that you thrive on pressure. I like it that you have embraced both the traditional and the modern in your choice of pastimes. It is awesome that you can move in both the worlds of K-pop dancing & Ikebana.
    David :-)

    I am sorry to be prejudiced but I know only people who like dancing and playing sports but dislike doing fllower arrangement or people who like the arrangement but dislike dancing. So I don't understand why you are so talented. I think you have had many interests and passion for various areas since you were a child. Congratulations to your departure for a new world of wonder.

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...
