Discussion 10 Tourism:

Q . What is eco-tourism ? Do you think it is a good idea?

A. Eco- tourism is to minimize the impact of visiting the location ,build respect and awareness for the environment and cultural practices ,and raise the traveler's awareness of the host country's political, environmental and social climate.

I believe ecotourism is a good idea reason being this is because a lot of places has been changed due to the tourism spots as a business economical values. By thinking about cultural,local, nature and local people is the most important thing to think about and eco tourism has a huge part of it.

Discussion 9 Vacation

Q4. Do Japanese people have enough vacation time? Explain your answer thoroughly.

A. Even if they do have their vacation time, they do not take their holidays off and instead they work at the office during holidays. I believe this is a stupid idea since they have their days off and they are allowed to rest and take their time off. Also they have certain time that they can have their work days off due to their sickness conditions, emergency conditions. Although they do not take their time off..

Discussion 8 ; Beauty & Social Pressure

Q. Does society place too much importance on  image and beauty?

A, I do believe society places too much value on appearance. Part of the reason is because of the social media problems we face today, the bullying through Facebook, have more likes on social media and how much they can fake to become beautiful and sexy to people. I do believe this is a serious problem that is facing the youth nowadays. Therefore should rely on the things that are special through person to person and be who you are and be happy for who you are it does not matter what the others think.

Discussion 5 Happiness

3.Q, Bhutan started a Gross National Happiness Index. Now, there is a United Nations World Happiness Index. In 2012, Denmark was top, Canada 5th, New Zealand 8th, US 18th, Japan 44th, and Togo was last. Why do you think Japan is so low in spite of being rich country?

A,I could believe that Japans UN world happiness index being low at 44th even though Japan is a rich country. If you have lived in Japan or if you are Japanese this is not a surprising thing to hear people often are under inserts of putting them selves into everything towards work, the key issue is what affects happiness. Mental health can be one to be the single most important determinant of whether a person is happy or not. Humans are always optimistic and that makes us suffer from happiness. Although Japanese tend to be the opposite they tend to let go of their optimistic and even if they are suffering from things they tend to hold on and that causes people to be in stress all the time. We should be more optimistic and let go things if they do not wish to do. Everyone is not forced to do things. Take it easy like in Denmark which is the most comfortable place to live and peaceful. 

Discussion 4 Family Matters

Q3, Which family system do you think is better?

The extended family or nuclear family system?

A.I believe the extended family is better. There are three reason to state my opinion. One is you can learn differently experience from your related family. Such as life time commitment and because they are your relatives you may have some similarities to them that they can teach you to help guide your in a positive way. Second reason a person to talk to about anything. I have said many problems about what I faced on growing up with my parents but because my grand parents are living apart from my house I can just go visit them anytime and talk them about thing I can't tell to my parents and they can be your best friend sometimes.Lastly you can have more loving people in your life other then your parents. sometimes parents love aren't enough for us to get through things and still you feel lonely but by having more lovers family n your life it is somewhat life saving treasure that you can have.

Disscussion 3 : Love around the world

Q.   
       In the west many couples live together before marriage. Some never get married, but continue to live together and have children. Is marriage necessary/important?

      I believe it is iomportant to live together before marriage the reason behind this is I believe you need to be able to know what it is like to live with your partner. You may find dispointment sometimes of how couples react when they live their life together. Also another point I believe you need to be with your partner at least 2 years to be able to know the partner this includes as living together before you get married. Therefore,it is important to live together before youget married to make sure your partner is the right person as to be part of your life. The other question about if it is necessary to get married or not as what I am seeing from Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt they were doing good so far and they did have their childrens even though they are not married. The reason behind this may be because they want to make sure the partner is the right person and even though they are not married the couple always know that they love each other and thats what matters the most. Therefore, I would say marriage is not necessary important as long as the couples are happy and loving eachother.
