Public? Or Private?

According to the news related to education, more than 20, 000 high school students will not be able to graduate because they failed to take enough unit of compulsory subject such as world history. World history was made compulsory as of 1994 by a ministry of education, but many universities don't require that examinees take it. So high school students who are not required to take world history in entrance examination don't like to take world history. Therefore high school had quitted imposing world history on examinees. High school authorities had been reporting falsified statement that all students took world hisory course. The problem lies not in high school, universities, but ministory of education. One hundred years ago the University of Tokyo was made to nourish a public servant, it was taken for granted that many excellent students be public servants. Nowadays many excellent students enter into private work force, not government. In this particular case as to world history is a typical example that government people decide things according to what they think it favourable, hopeful. They had needed to decide which subject ought to be required according to what subject university entrance examination requires. People here used to live as what public servants ordered them to do so. That time had passed forever.
White Collar ' Exemption '
[ 0 Comments #150337 ] Saturday November 04, @08:52AM

This notion might be from America because the word is English. Usually we work 8 hours in a day and 5 days in a week. Total working hours are supposed to be 40 hours. But in fact many people are working 10 to 12 hours in a day. Total working hours are about 60 hours in a week. Working extra hours itself is not against the law, but almost all cases they don't add extra working hours in their regular working hours. So I have to admit that they are working much more than they stated. But today 'white collar exemption' is about to be implemented from next spring. If this law is introduced, white collar will be permitted to work as much as they can. Current working hour 10 to 12 is going to extend more to 15 or 16. If those who are self employed, it depends on themselves as to how many hours they work though. I believe Japanese people tend to work longer in a day, but worse problem is they usually don't take or are unable to take vacations in a year. They keep on working around the clock 365 days in a year without taking holidays more than consecutive 5 days. Their worst problem is that they don't classify matters. Many things are not arranged yet, everything is in confusion, chaotic. This chaos is mainly caused by the complexity of Japanese language. They haven't used alphabet yet, in other words they are still using very complicated 1850 ideograms and 50 phonetic signs. Their job is not done well despite their hard work. White collar exemption is to try to make up for the inefficiency caused by the complexity of language by consuming more hours. They had better start changing their language in public use. From Japanese to English.
English Circle II
[ 0 Comments #150333 ] Saturday November 04, @08:43AM

I went to a regular meeting by an English circle on the 15th of October with my wife. For the first time of course. The number of attendants were 31 in which 23 were female and 8 were male. Almost all men had come there with their wives, few men had come alone, and many wemen had come by themselves. For a guy like me whose age is 45, it is uncommon to attend there alone. We spent there just one hour. On the 22nd of October again we attended the meeting. Many attendants of this meeting are English teachers. I felt very secured. I intend to participate in this meeting next week too. With my 'common law' wife, of course.
Truth Of The Battle Of Jieting

In 228 the battle between Shu led by Zhuge Kongming and Wei led by Cao Cao, Zhuge sent a general Ma Su here and ordered to position at the bottom of the hill. But he positioned Shu army on the hill since it was written in a book of military tactics. There's an exception for everything, in this area because water was obtained fully at the bottom of the valley he had to place his troops under the valley. Shu army was surrounded and defeated by Wei army. Later Ma Su was captured by Zhuge Kongming and said to be executed. Ma Su had been very well evaluated by Zhuge Kongming, but he executed Ma Su without mercy. He should have given him a second chance, but he took his life for his one time failure. Zhuge Kongming had been admired one of the most intelligent figures in the Thee Kingdoms Era, many his enemies feard his wisdom. After the death of Zhuge Kongming in the Battle of Wuzhang Plains, 234, Shu had no wiser strategist than Zhuge Kongming. If a wise strategist like Ma Su were alive, Shu would not have to keep Zhuge Kongming's death secret.
