Do you like sleeping ?
If you like long-hours sleeping, please be careful.
A organization shows that a good sleep in night is seven hours, but more sleep will bring you bad effect to your health. One example is that people who sleep for eight hours or more hours tend to die a bit sooner. If so, is less sleep than seven hours good ?
Surprisingly, it is good for us. This research shows that we really don't have to sleep for eight hours though it is said eight hours sleeping is good for us, and the result shows  proper sleeping time is six hours and between five and seven hours is good for our health. If you always have short sleeping less than five hours, it is dangerous for your health. Also, you have important work required concentration for many hours, you have to get good sleeping.

The other day, I heard that more and more young Japanese people do not choose full-time job and instead  choose part-time job. Senior generation can not understand  their selection so they regard young people as people having immature view because they focus on stable salary and environment. But finding job is more difficult than one generation before. In addition, they have an idea that working long hours and being able to take a long terms vacation is not unhappy and once you belong to a company, you have to accept this demerits. They do not like decreasing their free time and are satisfied as long as they earn their living. This tendency is good for many companies because salaries for  paying part-timers are lower than full-time workers. 

By the way, I want to choose stable and promising certain level of vacation job.

WRITING -ENGLISH SPORTS-

I would like to write about two aspects of Paralympics.

At first, of course, Paralympics have positive points. In spite of having disability, Paralympic player play sport as well as health people do it. So, they will give courage or hope to same disable people but also health people. In addition, they show that disable people are not kind of people who do not have choice but give up many things. What is more, Paralympics will remind us of existence of disable people near us. This event give us opportunity of thinking about normalization. This word means creating society in which all people- health and disable people-can live easier. 

But, Paralympics have negative points. Firstly, some people say inspiration porn exist in this event. Inspiration porn means being impressed in seeing them playing game may represent that health people have unconscious sense of superiority to disable parson. In addition, mass-medium tend to focus on not them playing earnestly but emphasizing their problem in daily life. As a result, some people have idea- My life is much better than theirs and I want to cheer for them-. But Paralympic player want cheering from evaluating their performance, not sympathy. Lastly, Paralympic is not so as known as Olympics to many people. So, some Paralympics player do not have sponsor. This means that their cost like traveling expenses, participation cost and tools is too heavy.

Would you be happy if you could live forever?
This was  question of a university's question, and was dealt with in my work place. I had  to answer this question for my student. I thought a little moment, and then I answered following.
In my opinion, immortality is not always happy because if you became a fatal malady, you would have to suffer from the disease. Moreover,  if no one would not die, overpopulation would cause food shortage and could not keep space to live. But The earth do not have the room for those problems.
What do you think about this?

This week, I was busy in taking care of my grandmother so that I intended to write shoter than usual. Nursing is too hard task. Every time, even if or even though late night,  she want help, my mother and sister including me are called. Speaking frankly, caring is very stressful because my private time and rhythm of my life disappeared. I had  sympathy with family causing murder from tiring care.

WRITING -street carnival-

Notting hill carnival is very popular today. Its scale and economic effect are bigger year by year, and many people think that this carnival is biggest festival all over the world. But, originally, the scale of Notting hill carnival was much smaller than today. Big turning -point was idea who a man had. He made plan that people living in Notting hill and having different culture interact with each other. From that time on, many people became to attend to this carnival. As the number of participants was larger, the number of crime behind this carnival increased every year. This tendency is still continuing, as a result, more and more police are used. They look for whether offender commit a crime or not, such as drug supply, shooting gun, and assault. Recent year, to deal with many crime and many people, super recognizers system started. They have special ability to identify suspects who were caught on CCTV footage and Crime Watch, and they have ability to know face of suspects and identify them in crowded people. Thanks to this, this year, the number of people arrested was smaller than before. It is evidence that they prevent from committing a crime.
