Taisei Hamaguchi

 Hello. I am a second year student at the University of Tokyo and major in civil engineering. It requires you to learn not only infrastructure but also policy making or economy. I'm particularly interested in international cooperation. I hope to contribute to the world using the knowledge of my major.

As for my hobby, I like playing sports. I've been playing soccer for over ten years and I belong to a soccer society at my university. I like jogging, too. Once a week or so, I run in a park. This makes me feel refreshed.

Other than sports, I am fond of Japanese comedy. Comedians always make me laugh, so I really love them. In my spare time, I like watching the YouTube channel of my favorite comedians, Mitorizu. I love them so much that I sometimes go to see their comedy show.

    I am also majoring in civil engineering! Maybe we have met at the welcoming party in September...? I didn't have many on-site classes last year. Enjoy your study at the department!

    I like comedy too. Mitorizu is funny, but I like Sandwich Man the best. I can't wait to watch this year's M-1 Grand Prix !!

    It's very cool to play soccer for over ten years. What's your position?

    Civil engineering seems difficult, but I think you can contribute to the society a lot! I hope you can enjoy your study at our university!
    I actually love jogging, too. Waking up early in the morning and running makes me feel refreshed! I also love soccer, but unfortunately, I just watch football game on TV.
    I am also into comedy. I sometimes repeatedly watched 志村けん's video on Youtube! 見取り図 always makes me fun, but I'd like to say that I love 中川家! 中川家's comedy style is Kansai style, which I am fond of.

    Hi Taisei, nice to hear that you want to use your profession as a civil engineer to contribute in the world. When structures are engineered well, they last much longer and have a much less negative environmental impact. In other words well-engineered structures are greener. The very best as you continue with your studies in this important area.

    Mitorizu means a sketch or design layout of a house and also rough plans for future in Japanese. So you are writing your Mitorizu, which is to contribute to the world in coordinate with civil engineering. That would be great.

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...
