Discussion Week 5 - Friday the 5th and Sunday the 7th of May

- History VS. Truth 

 

If you check the history timeline of Japan, I should say the "official" timeline, or possibly the "public" history of Japan, you'll find that the first emperor of Japan took the throne in 660 BCE. Also, you'll find that officially, some female empresses are not officially counted amongst the list of emperors that have ruled Japan.

Even if you check the "list of emperors of Japan" page on wikipedia, you find that most of them are listed with "Traditional Dates"(this means they aren't the real dates)

This fits nicely with Japan's current traditional views and policies, but is it really the truth?

Well if we were to check the remains and other physical evidence we find from historical periods of Japan's history, we find that some of the true history and the national history don't agree with each other.

 

This is not really  a big problem, but the question I want to ask you is: Should the true history be more important than a good narrative(story) that "fits"?

If the history of Japan were to change to the true history, do you think that would be an issue? (if it would, why?)

 

List of emperors of Japan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Emperors_of_Japan

Let's talk about that.

- Diets, Exercise Regimes and Supplements -  

 

If I want to, I could invent a diet, and exercise regime or press some fruits and vegetables together into a small block and market them freely.

I could claim that they will help you to lose weight, or to get muscles and that I did the same diet/exercise/supplement and so I am the proof that it works.

For example, if I were to get in shape by swimming at the gym every week, I could claim and sell my regime as a definite way to get fit!

Also, I wouldn't need to get any kind of scientific study done to prove it.

Do you think these kinds of things should require scientific study to back them up?

If one of these methods is proven as false, what should happen to the method, and the the creator?

What should happen to the money that the creator has already gotten away with (eg. transferred overseas so it cannot be claimed back)?

 

Let's talk about that.

- Why do foreigners face discrimination in Japan when it comes to official matters 

 

I am a New Zealander.

I am not Japanese.

What this means is that when I try to rent an apartment, buy a house, get a loan, or even just stay in Japan, I have extra procedures to go through because I'm foreign.

The chances of me getting a loan approved are lower in Japan because I'm foreign.

There is a chance that owners of apartment buildings/houses/etc. don't want foreigners in their building.

When I enter Japan I am given an "alien card" which I have to carry with me everywhere by law. Other forms of I.D. are not a sufficient replacement.

 

Why do foreigners receive such discrimination in Japan?

Do you think these points are just rare cases?

If they're not rare cases do you think they are too strict on foreigners?

If they're not too strict, do you think other countries would benefit from similar discrimination against new foreigners?

 

 

Let's talk about that.

- Sunday the 30th of April -
- Why is there so much death/why is death reported on so much is Japan?  

I often read the news on the website http://www.japantoday.com

When I check the "National" tab of that website, more often than not I see reports of death in Japan. Now, when tragedy strikes, it is most certainly normal to report on it, however, there is such a large proportion of death articles compared to others.

Why is death reported on so much in Japan?

Do you think it is ok that death is reported on so often in the news?

Do you think it would be better if it wasn't reported on? (I wouldn't want to hear about my relative dying/being killed/suicide in the news)

 

Let's talk about that.

Discussion Week 3 - Friday the 21st and Sunday the 23rd of April

 - Discussion Week 3 -

 

- Friday the 21st of April -

- Should Halal Meat Be Outlawed 

 

If you don't know the manner in which Halal meat is butchered, please look it up.

It's a barbaric practice which causes immense suffering for the animal that is being slaughtered.

 

My questions this week are short:

Should Halal meat/butchery be outlawed?

Or should it be allowed under cultural/religious rights?

 

Let's talk about that.

- Sunday the 23rd of April -
- Criminals being shot  

So, sometimes when criminals are committing, or have committed a crime, the crime doesn't work out exactly how they would have liked, and perhaps something bad happens to them.

Perhaps someone who is the victim of the crime is able to use force to defend themselves, or perhaps the criminal claims to have been traumatised by something that happened while committing a crime.

Should that criminal be allowed to try to sue the victim for defending themselves or doing something that could injure the criminal (mentally or physically)?

 

Here are a few cases in which just that has happened::
