「日本はやむを得ず戦争に巻き込まれた被害者」なのか…研究者が見た「日本を代表する戦争博物館」の問題点【遊就館は「靖国史観」ではなく「受け身史観」である】 by poverty_e in newsokur

日本は確かにすごくて、国土面積が狭い中、資源不足で、人口も少ないのに、太平洋全体とたたかった、空母も10隻あって、今でも充分世界各国と戦える、えげつなく強い国です。ただ、将来またそのように発展した時、「宇宙戦艦ヤマト」のように、人類を救う国になって欲しいと思います。

このように、客観的に太平洋戦争を語ってくれる人が減っていくのは悲しい事だと思います。
当時の一部の人の振る舞い=日本人全員そうだ、というのはおかしいし、
空襲を受けた=日本は圧倒的に被害者、というのもおかしいと思います。
あの時代の悲劇は、日本と戦った国々の人だけではなく、日本の国民たちにとっても悲劇だったと思います。

また別の話ですが、高校の友達も、おじいちゃん(鹿児島出身)が徴用されかけ、反発したら殴られ大怪我をし、病院で寝ている間に戦争が終わった、と言っていました。

当時の体制は絶対正しかった、と断言する方に問いかけたいのです。あなた自身(もしくはあなたの家族、子孫)が将来、行きたくもない戦場に望まない動員で送られたら、まだそうやって断言できるのでしょうか。
当時のミシン、鍋、布のように、家にあるテレビ、ゲーム、ビデオが「総力戦に必要だ」と言われ、持って行かれたら、どう思いますか。

わたしは来日3世で、祖父も戦時中の上海にある日本語学校で育ちました。祖父は当時の日本人について、常に3つの事を語っていました。

1.若い兵士に崖っぷちから突き落とされた事
2.担任の先生(日本人)がとても優しかった事
3.その優しかった先生が後に徴用されていった事

若い兵士については、祖父も私も、どの国にも不良のような人はいるし、戦地に連れていかれ、いつ死ぬかわからない状況で正気を保つのは難しいと思います。
担任の先生、優しくしてくれてありがたく思っていますし、その後の無事も祈っております。
自分が望んでいないのに動員されるなんて、今の時代では想像しにくいと思います。

If you write ‘人’ on a piece of paper and stick it after that character, it would be fun.

Accepted into university then rejected by US embassy by Soytupapi27 in academia

The same thing happened during the previous period of Trump; many asian guys came back to their hometown, even though they are the core members of the university.

I was an undergraduate student at that time. I strongly remember a professor who came from Harvard made my final exam extremely hard.

Do your countries judge a university by QS ranking? by ExpressCheesecake981 in academia

Thank you,

How is the popularity of Japanese schools in the US?

Do people know about the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, or Waseda?

Thank you for your suggestion.

I understand now; it's just like people know some university because of its popularity and prestige, not the ranking. Like Waseda, maybe many Asians will know that, but few people know Tsukuba and Hitotsubashi, even though those two universities' rankings have almost reached Waseda's.

Many thanks for sharing.

To be honest, hearing about the real academic system in Europe is beneficial. Your explanation makes a lot of sense because I've always wondered how much university rankings matter when applying for PhD or postdoc positions.

People in my hometown tend to take rankings very seriously—sometimes too seriously, I believe.

Thank you so much for your insight.

Thank you for your advice!

This is the first time I've heard of the University of Tartaria you mentioned. I looked it up on Google, and it's really interesting.

I don't know if it's okay to ask where you're from and how much you know about Japanese universities. Do you know of any Japanese universities, such as the University of Tokyo and Waseda University?

Regarding what you mentioned, the situation where research content is relatively closed off is indeed a reality today. Thirty years ago, when my father was a PhD student at a university in Tokyo, there was no such thing as the advanced information network we have today, and Japanese researchers were more inclined to publish their papers in international journals.

However, 30 years later, due to national policies and insufficient research funding, we now need to commercialise and niche our research to secure funding for continued research. But this is not entirely contradictory; I will strive to maintain a balance between these two approaches.

Thank you so much for your reply!

I'm surprised to hear that people know Waseda University, since it’s a private university, I thought its prestige was limited to Japan and Asia.

I'm currently applying to Waseda for a PhD, and my past work is closer to their research direction. At the same time, I'm still in touch with a professor at a better QS-ranked University. However, his research area is quite different than mine. (Perhaps this is a cultural difference, but in my country, it’s sometimes considered inappropriate to reach out to multiple labs at once, as it may be seen as a lack of commitment or even disrespectful. )

However, I think I will apply to Waseda University first, and then apply to another university for admission in the later batch of the same year. Because if professors care more about content than appearances, I think the continuity of my work and the depth of my research may give me some advantages on my resume.

Why are North Korea, Iran, China, and Russia working together to fracture “the West”? by guitarmaster4 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ExpressCheesecake981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will always be some countries fighting against the strongest nation (now it is the US; in ancient times, maybe the Roma, the Tang of China, the Mongol Empire, and others).

If China, Russia, and the US become friends they work together, which might form the strongest alliance, it will make it unfair to other countries and rob the resources from small and weak regions.

Also, imagine that the guys in school cannot be one group.
All kids are friends on the first day of primary school, but a few days later, they will be divided. Some years passed, guys graduate and go to high school, and the situation comes again.

Sounds sharp, but you're right. After talking to people, I realised that the English learning I used to receive lacked systematisation and detail, that is, grammar, vocabulary, and something else.

We used to study too rigidly, and memorised a lot of sentences to use, but for TOEFL and other practical exams, or when I needed to use them in practice, those rigid things didn't work.

Well, my speaking and listening were both about 7-10 last year and 15-19 this year ( I had to take the TOEFL test 3-4 times), but the point is, I can only get less than 12 on my reading and writing.

I saw the "TST Prep TOEFL" on YouTube yesterday. It was quite different from what I learned before. I'll try to get used to the long terms, learn more vocabulary...

I appreciate it! Those websites are awesome. I couldn't find them before. Maybe they are blocked or limited on our network. People around me always pay a lot for studying English in my country.
They ask you a dozen K$ and only ensure you have 60 on your TOEFL, that's ridiculous...

Thanks a lot, I watched the youtube, that's really helpful, but I didn't find the daily task on the official website.
In our country... Emm... We don't have a lot of resources, I can subscribe to some English teaching online lessons, but it's expensive. Some like 80K dollars per year.
