As it has been concerned, harmful rumor is spreading due to nuclear power accident after the earthquake. Sightseeing area and agriculture and fishery industries are damaged by harmful rumor, not only by accident itself. Besides, some children from evacuated area are bullied at new schools that radioactivity infects. It was predictable for me since I heard the news that people from the prefecture where those atomic-power plants are in were refused a room at a hotel. They confuse radioactivity for virus or something, so such unforgivable discrimination occurs. At the same time... I understand that people tend to be afraid of ununderstandable things
. "Infectious radioactive" is groundless prejudice based on ignorance.
Then, I demand that accurate information about radioactive should be enlightened at chemistry or physics classes at least during the compulsory education, instead of chemical equation and physical laws useful only at exam. In the meantime, what I'd like to ask you who read this English weblog today are to- Stop enjoying bullying other people. Stop believing in media enjoying stirring up fear by press intrusion. And- keep on persuading the government and the electric power company into sincere response -for the sake of evacuated residents, all the people suffering from harmful rumor and workers at the spot, including day laborers who were deceived into working at nuclear power accident sites
. Most of all- isn't it time to realize again that people are part of the Earth and regain our sense of humility to nature?
And again and again- let me take this occasion to place my gratitude for various support from all over the world
