Something I Have Learned Along the Way -Hiroaki Tezuka


 Before I entered the University I lived in Hokkaido with my families.  I have 3 old brothers and a younger brother.  We sometimes fought but now we have good relation and help each other.  There was always one brother in house at least.  My mother was so busy to make our lunch box, do house work.  

However, after moving to Tokyo, It was tough for me because there were little people who can talk and share dairy lives.  I took granted that I am not alone but at that time I noticed how my family are important for me.

Now I am in Hokkaido and I and brothers do house work and spend together.  Now, we will not be able to spend much time together.  I hope we can make good memories and I will try to enjoy precious time with those who are around from now on.

    I empathize with your feelings. Generally we couldn't imagine how alone we feel until it's over. We should cherish those who are around us.

    What a blessing to have four brothers to grow up with. I can understand how you were 'never alone' at home. I am glad that being away from your brothers has taught you to value them all the more, a great life lesson. :-)

    I was from Shiga, and whenever I go back to my hometown, I feel relaxed and realize how precious it is to spend time with my family members. Chatting with my family members during dinner time , going out with them and so on is such a wonderful memory for me!

    So you have 5 brothers in your family including you? It would be so fun to live with so many brothers:) we are likely to forget how precious it is to spend time with people around us, but we should intentionally remember the preciousness of it.

    Wow. What a big family. You have 5 brothers including you!
    That might be fun. Siblings are close to each other, so they are good to talk about things without hesitation.

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...
