YUE XU-ISTJ

  The result of my MBTI test shows I am a ISTJ called "The Examiner". I think I am a typical ISTJ in most ways although there are some descriptions not fitting me very well.

  Just like it said, I think I am a responsible and hard-working person and I like to make plans before I do something. Also, I prefer to utilize specific numbers or facts to solve problems rather than basing on intuition or uncertain knowledge.

  But I don’t think I tend to obey old rules and traditions all the time. Of course, if the rules are turned out to be the best practice to get things done, I will choose to follow it and hope everyone in the organization will follow the steps stipulated in manual or something so things won’t be in chaos. 

  But if those rules make organizations inefficient or still have room for improvement, I would take initiatives to change the rules and optimize the process through kaizen and PDCA cycle just like the great company TOYOTA do every minute.

    Nice to know more about you, it is really impressive that you uses TOYOTA as an example to make us know what you will do when you are facing terrible rules. Also you shows your proficiency in your major. It will be better if you are willing to explain what PDCA cycle is to us.

    I agree with you. If old rules and traditions are not suitable for nowadays's situation or not the best practice, we should change them.
    Same as Jiayue, I would like you to explain what the PDCA cycle is.

    I was classified as The Examiner like you, and I thought that my personality and yours were quite similar in several aspects. It's interesting how our upbringings and specialties are so different, yet we share similar tendencies in our thinking!

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...
