Using a virtual reality is suggested in Auschwitz war trials . This virtual reality is the newest technique by the Bavarian State criminal office, which is thought to be assistance inquiring into the truth of the matter. Because People can experience the state of slaughter in real if they use this equipment. It is a fact that suspects had worked in Auschwitz concentration camp. However, they say that they hadn’t known what had happened. The most important issue in this trials is whether they had known about slaughter or not. Therefore many people expect that this equipment is useful to pursue the matter.
opinion
I think that using a virtual reality has two advantages except to pursue whether suspects had known or not. First, anyone don’t know the details of the incident, so judges cannot help verdicting by a guess. However, judges can decide a crime correctly if they see this equipment. Second, putting on to the general public this can protect to happen same cruel act again. There may be opposition opinions. Of course, this shouldn’t show to young people. However, a grown-up will think we mustn’t make a mistake again if they will see this. Because of these two reasons, using a virtual reality brings good effects.
The second referendum may be done in Scotland. Nicola Sturgeon is one of the people who think Scotland has to declare independence from UK. According to her statement, independence referendum bill would be published next week. She thinks that UK is unstable now because of withdrawal from EU, so Scotland should declare independence from UK and protect its own profit. However Scottish Secretary David Mindel disagrees second referendum. He thinks second independence referendum is creating uncertainty and damaging the Scottish economy at a time when our growth is lagging behind the UK as a whole.
opinion
I think Scotland shouldn’t declare independence from UK. There are two reasons. First, Scottish oil industry relays on UK. Actually, almost all of the oil that Scotland consumes annually is supplied by UK. Therefore Scottish oil industry will decline if Scotland declare independence from UK. Second, not declaring independence from UK has been already decided once by referendum. The mind of the general public is likely to be overturned easily. If independence referendum will be done again, many people choose to be independent from UK, which spoils the meaning of the result of the first referendum. This is a serious problem. Because of these two reasons, I think Scotland shouldn’t declare independence from UK.
It has been argued about which is better to live in the center of the city or countryside for a long time. Both of the areas have each good points. It is difficult to decide which is better. However, if I am asked about which is better to live, I believe that living in the center of the city is more comfortable than countryside. There are three reasons.
First, the transportation is more convenient in the center of the city. There are many kinds of vehicles. For example, train, the Shinkansen, taxi, bus. If an accident resulting in injury or death happens and train network stops, people can get to the destination by using other transportations except train. On the other hand, the train leaves every two or three hours and other transportation is few in countryside. If you miss the train or an accident happens, people cannot help waiting. Therefore, people who live in the center of the city can spend time more effectively.
Second, many kinds of facilities are substantial. One example is commercial facilities. Recently, many shopping malls are developed and many people visit them. They include many kinds of facilities, for example food, fashion and so on. Thanks to this fulfillment, people can get something which they want to get easily. The most important thing is the fulfillment of a medical institution. In countryside, we can’t rescue people who we might be able to rescue with a substantial medical institution. On the other hand, in the center of the city, there are many excellent doctors and ambulances come at once, so possibility that people in danger are saved is much higher.
Lastly, there are many varieties of schools such as private schools, public schools, vocational schools. People can commute the school that suits their tastes the most. In addition, most of main universities in Japan are located in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Therefore, people who live in the area can commute a university easily. Of course, people who live in countryside can commute a university in the Tokyo metropolitan area. However, they have to live alone, so it costs them a lot of money. People who live in the urban area can choose favorite type of schools and commute the school in the lower cost.
To conclude, there are three advantages to live in the center of the city. Transportation is developed, commercial and medical facilities are substantial, and there are many types of schools. Thanks to these advantages, people can live safely and conveniently. Therefore, I believe that living in the center of the city is more comfortable than countryside.
Now, in the US, an unclear explanation of government about US air and drone strikes is a problem. The White House says US air and drone strikes have killed between 64 and 116 civilians outside war zones since 2009. On the other hand, some groups such as human rights group say that several hundred civilians died in US strikes. In other words, goverment’s announcement crashes with theirs. They have accused the US government of obscuring the number of civilian casualties in air and drone strikes. The US government has to release credible data and show the truth.
opinion
Which is more criminal killing by human beings or drones? It is very difficult to decide, but I think killing by drones is more criminal. There are two reasons. First, it easily can kill people by pushing one button. People operating it don’t kill people directly, so they have no guilty conscience. This is very terrible. Second, drones can be a trigger of start of big wars. Because the war by drones saves countries a lot of trouble. Countries don’t have to send soldiers to the spot, so it saves many cost. All countries have to do is continue to make drones. Therefore, drones permit to continue the war longer, so it can be a big war. I think drones are dangerous and criminal because of these two reasons.
India has more people living in modern slavery. The population of India is 18 billion, which is the most in the world. There are many types of slavery in India. For example, intergenerational bonded labor, forced child labor, commercial sexual exploitation, forced begging, forced recuitment into non-state armed groups and forced marriage. These are many problems and one of the most serious problems is that it is difficult to know how many people are stuck in sexual slavery. One of the causes is Indian law. It doesn’t differentiate human trafficking from sex work, so we cannot count each correct amount. Therefore, some solutions are needed.
opinion
What should India do in order to reduce the slavery? I suggest two ideas. First, Indian government has to collect and register all Indian personal data like my number in Japan. Developing countries such as India cannot manage it enough. By managing it exactly, Indian goverment can understand where people work and who doesn’t get a legitimate job. Second, India should narrow the gap between rich and poor people. Generally,rich people treat poor people as slavery. By introducing a system of progressive taxation, India must relieve poor people’s burden. I think using these two schemes enable India to reduce the slavery.
Suicide bomb is being carried out bychildren induced by Boko Haram i n Nigeria. There were 44 children ”suicide bombings” in West Africa last year.They hide explosives under their clothes or in baskets. The reason why Boko Haram used children is that people usually doesn’t expect they have explosives. However, this strategy by Boko Haram destroyed more than 900 schools and killed more than 600 teachers. Therefore educational system of Nigeria is damaged and we have to think of some solutions
opinion
What do we have to do to repair Nigerian educational system? I have an idea. Each countries should try to make textbooks for Nigerian children. It is true that sending teachers to Nigeria is a good solution.but teachers who can understand languages spoken in Nigeria is probably few and they can also be killed by ”susuide bombings” at school. Sending textbooks doesn’t have a possibility that a new person is killed. In addtion, children can study everytime with them. They don’t necessarily need to go to school to study,so danger of being involved in explosion can decrease. To conclude, sending textbooks leads to enhance efficiency of learning and defends children from being killed.I think each country should make tektbooks which Nigerian can understand and send them.
