 -  Job hunting In Japan - 

 

 

To be perfectly honest, I don't know a lot about the whole job hunting culture that Japan has. All I do know is that it seems to be based a lot on the name of the university you went to, and little on your actual ability.

 

On top of that, the way organizations like Hello Work, tend to operate seems to be kind of odd. Why do you think they work in the way that they do?

 

Do you think Japanese job hunting is based on good systems?

Do you think there need to be changes?

Why do you think the system works in the way it does?

 

What do you think the major differences are between Japanese job hunting, and Western job application? 

 

Let's talk about that.

 - Gun Control - 

 

In the wake of a few terror attacks that have happened in the last few days (New Zealand, The Netherlands), you, and the rest of the world are feeling a bit on edge about the idea that people can have guns.

 

However, as you may know, there are some places in the world, some neighborhoods in some countries, that are very dangerous, they have gangs, mafiosi, and other criminal activity that occurs often enough that the citizens in that area need some kind of protection against people that may cause them harm.

 

On top of that, there are countries (such as New Zealand) that have a strong hunting culture, high powered rifles designed for hunting without causing an animal to suffer when they are hunted.

 

But, as I just mentioned, there are bad people in this world too.

We've had it come up now especially with the terror attack in New Zealand, the weapons the terrorist used were all available on the market for anyone with a gun license to buy.

 

But do you think guns should be just flat-out banned?

If you think having guns is ok, how should that be arranged?

   That means, do you think high powered guns should be allowed?

        What counts as a high powered gun?

              How do we decide who can and cannot have a gun license?

 

Let's talk about that.
