Hi everyone,
I've returned all your presentation outlines with my comments. If you have any questions, you can email me or send me a message on Line. Gestures: After speed discussion, we learned about gestures. This is a type of body language and is part of "non-verbal communication." Non-verbal language (body language) is just as important (or even more important) than the spoken word. To demonstrate this, I gave a short explanation in French. When I gave my explanation without gestures, NOBODY understood what I said. However, when I supported it with gestures, all of you could understand the main idea of my explanation. You can use four different types of gestures: a. number / sequence b. illustration / location c. emphasis / focus d. comparison Discussions: Overall, discussions were very well done today. I was very impressed that all leaders were checking understanding and had strong conversational style in the discussion part. For our last round of discussions next week, please remember these points:
Homework: 1. Blog Comment #9 2. Discussion Preparation 3. Presentation Preparation
Blog Question #9: Give your opinion on your presentation's social problem and recommend two solutions. Example: In my opinion, suicide is an important social issue facing Japanese society. One reason for Japan's high suicide rate is because of the lack of awareness about mental health issues and the lack of services for those with mental illness. One solution is to ... Another one is to ...

In my opinion, declining birthrate is a very serious problem in Japan. One reason for declining birthrate is because in Japan the average age of the first marriage is getting older, so it is more difficult for older couples to have babies. One solution is to create the places of encounters. Some events of various hobbies or sports may be effective for singles to get to know each other. Another one is the government has to prepare enough nursery schools for working parents. Also in case of that children get sick and have to be absent from nursery schools or elementary schools, parents need a place like a hospital to take care of their children while they are working. The problem is that it is too expensive for the government to pay for the places and personnel costs. We cannot say it’s a government problem. All of us have to think this problem more seriously. What we can do is that in the society we help each other and raise children all together. In the comfortable society young people naturally want to get married and have babies.

In my opinion, smoking is one of the biggest social problems in Japan. Smoking is bad for the health and our lungs get worse every time we smoke. Moreover, smoking causes the passive smoking. One solution is to raise the cigarette’s price. Japanese people buy a cigarette in spite of themselves because it is cheaper. That’s why we should raise the price of it. Another one is to appeal to smoker to risk of smoking. Abroad put on the illness of smoking on the cigarette’s package. Consequently, smoker is afraid of risk of smoking so they stop smoking. That’s why we should call the danger of smoking.

Our presentation's social problem is suicide. Suicide is one of serious problem in Japan. We have to decrease a rate of suicide. It is only Japan in developed countries that the top of cause of death of young people is suicide. In addition, most people kill themselves are Japanese men. In my opinion, I have two solution to decrease suicide. One is a point of view from government and another one is individual. Government solution is to establish suicide prevention center. Individual solution is you do something regularly for a change of pace. Thanks to this, you can protect from depression that is one cause of suicide.

In my opinion, smoking is an important social issue facing Japanese society. One reason for Japan's high smoking rate is because of cigarette tax is low, 63.1%. When it's compared, Canada is the high tax, 86%. One solution is to A government should give a tobacco tax. A government should make the package of a cigarette the package which tells danger. Another one is to government should make the package of danger. When a government does such policy, the person who buys a cigarette probably becomes little.

In my opinion, suicide is now a serious social problem. As that evidence, it is said that one person kill oneself every forty seconds. One reason that for Japan's high suicide rate is because of the lack of consideration. More and more people try to avoid to get involved with others. I suggest two solutions about suicide problem. First, we should exchange greetings voluntarity. Then, you may make sure if someone is worried. Second, the government should set up the free phone consultation service to advice. Then, everybody can get rid of their stress at any time.

Our group's presentation topic is child abuse. In my opinion, I think the problem should be solved rapidly and we should notice its present situation because it is very big social problem in Japan. One reason for the number of child abuse increases year by year is because a child consultation center's power is very weak. So one solution is that child consultation centers should have stronger power than now. If we can put the idea into practice, child consultation centers are

In my opinion, monster parents is an important social issue. Because the school is troubled very much. For example, parents complains to the school immediately and appeals to the Board of Education.Unreasonable parents seem to increase now. One solution is to establish the measures post of monster parents in the school. Then, coping may become a little smooth.Another solution is to win other parents over to teacher's side. I wish monster parents decreases and school life should be peaceful.

In my opinion, declining birthrate is an important social problem facing Japanese society. Today, related this problem's news is featured on TV a lot. The cause of this is late marriage and increasing unmarried man or woman. One solution is to build a lot of nursery school and increase nursery school teacher. A two-income family need a place which leave their child. There are a lot of children who can't enter the nursery school. Another one is to increase a encounter. First, if you want to marry, you look for a partner. And you must take action yourself. Also, for support it community, I think it it good to locate many encounter place.

In my opinion, smoking is an important social issue facing Japanese society. One reason for, the risk which gets ill increases by smoking but, nonetheless, Japan's sigarette tax is low in developed countries. In addition to this, not very aware of the risk a lot of people. One solution is that cigarette tax increases. The average price of the Japanese cigarettes is 430 yen. On the other hand, that of the Canadian cigarettes is 836 yen. So Japanese cigarette tax should increase. Another one is that the package warn against smoking strongly. It's to appeal to people about the fear of the cigarette.

Our group's presentation topic is suicide. In my opinion, it is one of the most important issue. In Japan, the rate of suicide of the young group is the top in developed countries. I thought two solution to decrease suicide. One is policy of the government. Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare tries for a decrease it. They install consultation window and suicide preventive general measures center. These help suicide reduction. Two is telling the trouble to a reliable person. I think that it becomes slightly comfortable just to talk.

In my opinion, declining birthrate is one of the most important problems in Japan. One reason for the tendency to marry later causes the problem. And, declining marriage rate also causes one. One solution is to give unmarried person many opportunities that meeting isomerisms. Government and public organizations should hold like a "Machi Com" in Japanese; Parties of each other isomerisms. Another one is to give married couples donations for their children. So married couples can rise their children if they can not afford to do it. We should make the atmosphere that marriageable.

In my opinion, child abuse is a serious social issue. It threatens child's health. It also has a bad effect on the growth and development of a child. One reason of child abuse is because of some problems of the parents. For example, parents tend to be depressed about childcare. One solution is to toughen the law of child abuse. Another solution is to report child abuse to child consultation centers if you notice the child abuse. I want these solutions to reduce the number of child abuse.

In my opinion, child abuse is an important social issue facing Japanese society. Child abuse hurts the body and mind of children very much, so it is needed to stop as soon as possible. I think there are some solutions. First, I think it is very important to tell the present situation of child abuse to many people. Second, I think it is needed to reform parents through psychological counseling. This problem is very serious and difficult. However, I hope the number of child abuse will decrease.

In my opinion, "Monster parent" is very serious problem all over the world. Because they make an egocentric and unreasonable demand to schools. In short, they can be considered big complainers. In addition, monster parents influence over their children. At first, children no longer respect their teachers; the children think teachers’s situation is lower than the parents’. Next, Children are teased by classmates about their parents and feel ashamed. This problem can be the cause of bullying. One solution is to suggest a communication schedule that teachers think is reasonable and that the parent is comfortable with. For example, teachers commit to checking in with the parent to apprise them of their child’s progress.

In my opinion,compensated dating with girls is very serious problem in Japan. It happened by not girls but some older men. Girls feel them kindness, so girls become victims. I think parents teach them that all of kind older men are good persons. And dating site take carefully that girls watch such sites. In addition, teachers tell them that a big town have many dangerous in the evening. If adults around girls take care of them, this problem will decrease in Japan. Therefore I am going to search what we can do for girls.
