Oh my dear...

I still cannot decide my topic for the essay...orz...

I was thinking to write that Japanese are not so racism,

but it is too general topic to narrow down.

Also I know that some of them would disagree to this strongly..

I have totally lost now...

However, there is a due to decide the topic,

of course it is tomorrow, as Ken told us to find 5 sources,

I am now thinking to write about Japanese chemical organization

during WWⅡ-unit 731.

But, it is too painful for me to research about this fact

because it is too cluel to consider,

and I am sure that all of the people who read my article

will feel unwell... I mean.. they will be uncomfortable.

When I was in high school, I read a book about unit 731,

and I felt sick because I could not believe that human can do


such a cruel thing to human himself.

Now I am also thinking to write about Japanese nationalism during WWⅡ,

but I cannot decide one particular topic...

Umm.......

It is too hard for me to think about anything about racism,

because all of those things related to racism or some kind of

categorizing include harmful and painful history.

To search those facts is also very harmful and painful...

Anyway, I will decide my topic by tomorrow and find five good sources!

That is my job! lol

I will do my best.

Octorber 4th

Time flies!!

I cannot believe that it is already October!!

Today, we thought about racism with my classmates.

For me, it was very interesting to listen to other opinions.

In addition, there are lots of differences between our classmates' opinions.

Some of them said that people from island countries were more racist than others.

At that time, I began to think about the differences between racism and nationalism.

Needless to say, races must be bigger groups than national groups.

However, I have never thought Korean or Chinese and Japanese as same race.

Because each of us has specific differences and it is not able to gather in one group,

and also I do never think Japanese as the best people in the world.

Of cource, for me, only for me, Japan must be most comfortable country to live

because it is my homeland.

Although, I have never thought that Japanese is the best race or Asian is the most valuable race.

After that discussion, I realized that I have never divided racism and nationalism clearly.

Maybe, I have to think by myself about the definition of racism and nationalism...
