The College of Liberal Arts
I belong to the college of Liberal Arts. At Tokyo university, freshmen and sophomores have to belong to the faculty. As educational revolution has been put into practice, the liberal arts school disappeared from a lot of universities. However, Tokyo university and a few other universities decided to still have the faculty. WHY? I think there is an important meaning though it may be out of step with the flowing of educational world. Today, my Chinese teacher told his idea about that. He argued that universities are the place where professors teach their students what doesn't seem to be useful to get a good job or become richer. As you know, there is a conflist about education at universities. Some argue the same thing as my Chinese teacher. The others argue that universities should be the place where professors teach their students vocational things. I can understad both. However I also think that the former is better interpretation of universities' meaning. I'd like to describe the reasons in the paragraphes that follow. One reason is that we cannot study them only at universities. My Chienese teacher also told that universities are the museum that exhibit the predecessors' thoughts and inventions. We can study vocational things in other places. But it is difficult to come in contact with what we cannot use soon in the world. Can we find such comprehensive museum except universities? The other reason is that we need to survey the world from verious viewpoinrs. Have you ever felt that the atmospher of universities is different from that of the outside? A university is one community. A big wall surrounds a university. My teacher also explained that; we, university students stand the outside of the forest and can view the whole of the forest. That is to say, we can go out of the world (or society) and survey it. We can assess the logic of the world more relatively. It is very important for us because what people want us to do is to have wide-ranging applications.He said so, and I think it is true. The world keeps changing though we sometimes feel that it doesn't change at all. (If you doubt it, please read some old essays of the social sciences or some old magagines.) In order to adapt ourselves to the world, and lead the world, we need to put our knowledge and experience to practical use. So, universities play a very important role. However, it is not enough.When we think about having wide-ranging applications, universities sould provide a lot of ways to approach the world. This is because we cannot survey the world from a various viewpoints if we don't study lots kinds of things. It is not meaningful very much. From the reasons above, I think that universities should teach as many subjects as possible and the college of liberal arts is necessary for us. What do you think?

DEMOCRACY AND EDUCATION
Today, I read a part of a book. The book is "IMPERIAL AMBITIONS", which recorded interviews with NOAM CHOMSKY.He is said to be the most famous linguist in the world. He wrotea lot of books about not only linguistis but also U.S.'s government and its policies.It was the first time I read his book. But soon,I was utterly enthralled by his thoughts.The part I read today is "DEMOCRACY AND EDUCATION". Then, I'm going to write my thoughts about his opinions.Since Jimmy Carter pretend to be a religious fanatic, all U.S. presidents have done so. Due to it, U.S. government's policies and the education in U.S. have been affected by religion, especially primitive Christianity. Of course, I don't say that religion is not good. I wanna say that we should separate politics and education from religion. This is because a lot of religions exsit in the international society. That is to say, we must not think only what we belive is what is right. But, if our education is biased by specific religion to an unpresedent extent, chiliden will not be able to accept other thoughts.In the U.S., there is a big assaults on freedom of speech everywhere, in radio, in universities. More than a dozen state ligislatures are now considering legislation to control what teachers and professors say in classrooms and to make sure teachers don't "indoctirnate students". Mr. NOAM CHOMSKY thinks that some of them will pass. I think so, too.Then, what we can do? At first, I think, Americans have to be more agressive activists. This is because it is their problem. However, in fact, it is also the international problems. this is because it is the fact that U.S. is the only country that has a huge power in the world. Their education affects American children. American children grow up and the become adults. They will control the international society. Then, what will happen?

what I WANT to do and what I MUST do
To live a fulfilling life, we need to have balance between what I want to do and what I must do.The phrase is my senior's. When I entered Tokyo University, I was given some brochure. In one of them, there is the phrase. very cool!I felt so.I, a university student, is often said to have a lot of time to do what I want to do. Of course, it is true. However, the fact has a premise that I do what I must do. For example, to get credits...YES. Indeed, we must not necessarily graduate from universities. I think there is a way (there is a will). But, Japan is still academic background-oriented society, I think. So, I think I should graduate from the university.I wanna tell the phrase to all university students, and again me.

I have no confidence in myself???
I have no confidence in myself. So, sometimes I come not to want to touch others. Now, I'm in that situation....orz ( On the Internet, we cannot see each other, so I can write an article now.^^;)Why do I have no confidence in myself? AND, WHY DO I ALWAYS SAY "I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE" ? (If I really have no confidence in myself, I should not be able to say " I have no confidence.")I have been thinking that,and then I find one answer. I'm only negative. There are a lot of friends and seniors around me who I respect very very very much. I envy them very much. At the same time, I feel I am no-account. I always say that I wanna make an effort and grow more and more. But, in fact, I spend a lot of time recovering myself.YES, I'M VERY NEGATIVE.Moreover, when I talk with such people, I don't consider the subject and only agree with their people. So, I cannot build my opinion. Yes, I let a chance get away that was within my grasp. Then, I feel I am no-account further.Then, what should I do?I think I should improve myself. To put it concretely, I'm going to.....I avoid saying that^^; I'm sometimes crushed by my words. So, I wanna show myself by my action, not by my words. (This is the phrase a friend of mine told me yesterday.)

「THE CHILD」
I went to the movie "THE CHILD" with a friend of mine. Though I don't know the reason, I kept crying. I can't understand its intention completely. But, tears welled up in my eyes. WHY?????In Belgium, the unemployment rate of the young is 20%. Yes, such problem about the young is argued not only in Belgium but also in the world. For example, in Japan, "NEET" is one of the most famous words that show the young. According to the web site......A lot of youths didn't be loved by their parents satisfactorily when they are children. A lot of youths are sufferring with poverty and don't understand that it is important to work. They can't become adults.That is to say, the hero's character is made by the environment.I haven't thought the problem seriously. In regard to youths, I have seen only its good point.(YDP etc.) Moreover.....No one is an expert to bring up a baby.Everyone is a freshman. But, everyone has a kind of feeling to love their babies unconditionally. However, for those who were not loved satisfactorily, it is difficult to realize the feeling, I think.I wanna be a woman, not a girl.
