The other day, at my working place as part-time job, a topic was discussed. It is "The school year in Japan should start in autumn?"

This time, I would like to write my opinion about this topic.

I disagree with this idea. Of course, some people say that the school year in most other countries start in September. So they claim that Japan should adopt this tendency. But I don't think so. If the school year start in September, a lot of national system have to be changed such as entrance examination, finding job of new graduates, teaching system of school and so on.

As a result, the government in Japan would have to face many difficult problems. The biggest issue is financial problem. A lot of money would be needed to carry out the idea. But the government can not afford to raise much money in order to do it. 

Police and Crime

In my opinion, “Crime Watch” is very useful. So “Crime Watch” have to be introduced in Japan. “Crime Watch” is TV program produced by BBC in UK. It introduce us to unresolved crimes by making reconstruction in order to gather the information from many common people. This has been helpful in solving difficult incidents in UK.

I would like to talk why Japan have to adopt “Crime Watch”. Firstly, performance of “Crime Watch” is high. By being introduced in this TV program, actually, criminal of unresolved incident has been arrested. Secondly, arresting brutal criminal escaping from police many years will bring us to feeling of easy and give our daily-life peace. Thirdly, if such system is introduced in Japan, Japanese people may pay attention to crimes much more. Also, many person will become to play a role as safe keeper in our lives. Probably, this will be the deterrent power of crime.

Some people say that information from TV viewer will be uncertain and information of injured party will spread to vast areas. These will cause confusion or embarrassment and so on. So TV producer of “Crime Watch” should talk with injured party thoroughly and the producer should try to protect their right.

It is true that “Crime Watch” has negative aspects, but there has no reason “Crime Watch” will not be clue to unresolved incidents.

It is said that Japan is a rich country because GDP of Japan is relatively high, and science technology level of Japan is the highest all over the world. So some people say that Japan is perfect country. Certainly, Japan's economic and science technology level is very good. But I am sure that Japan has a lot of problems. For example, the number of aging population has been lager and lager. As a result, pension problem is more and more serious. It is because a few young people has been obliged to pay their pension. Also, Japan has much debt. It is not too much to say that Japan will go bankrupt some day. So I can't always say that Japan is a rich country.

Lately,　I heard a opinion that "English should be the only official language of Japan" by TV.

In my  opinion, it is bad for Japanese people to speak only English. This is because the mother tongue are connected with the identity of all people in the country. Using only one language would bring  lost of individual's diversities. In addition, that would cause declining of moral. For example, one who are good at speaking English may look down on the other who are poor at understanding it. I have another reason. For us to speak it, we have to be taught by teacher who can speak it well. But how many teacher can speak and teach it, and how many people can master it?

Never come again!

Yesterday, I worked for bookstore as part-time job. So faｒ, many troubles had happened. But worst one happened yesterday. Arrogant customer came to me and the customer claimed unreasonable order. I declined it because of rule, and the customer became violently angry. He tried to force his opinion on me. I thought how selfish he was! Finally, the customer gave up and went out with impatience. I wish he will never come again!

By the way, 9 October is my birthday! Though anniversary was, good event didn't happen. I spent the day as same daily life.

Green bond

Today, Koike Yuriko of Tokyo governor states that Tokyo introduce green bond.
Green bond is capital of many company tring to develop natural energy.
This is very familiar to Europe, and actually many company in Europe has been getting good results by taking in it . But I do not think that this lead to good results in Tokyo. This is because not only Tokyo but Japan is not so rich as Europe in natural resource.
In addition to this, Tokyo have few natural resource and the city of consumption, not the city of production. For example, Tokyo has been consuming a lot of electricity. But it is generated at other prefecture.
That is to say, green bond must be introduced better in not Tokyo but the provinces.
