The policy of letting the yen fall in value

On January 7th, the financial minister Kan spoke that he will tolerate the lower yen. The maket recognized it as the policy of letting the yen fall in value on foreign exchange markets and the yen keeps weakening into 92yen.
Now, people have been discussing about the goverment intervention.
In my opinion, it's not fair policy. Japanese goverment tend to support the major companies. They depend on exports. Actually they make most of the profits, but Japan is also a resourceless country. If the yen go more weakening, the rising price of materials will happens. It means a real inflation, rather it is down in the value of the yen.
Besides, when the yen become lower, stocks will lift up regardless of riging GDP, because bringing in some foreign exchange. And business might be beginning to pick up by good mood.
I'm wondering if that is the best way.
Japan has a huge amount of govement bonds, the debt ration has reached 217% for GDP. It is the worst in the world, even America is 82%. Well, why Japanese goverment bond wouldn't tumble down, because it was trusted by Japanese companies as being outstanding through the world and Japanese huge savings, it's said to reach 1400 trillion yen. The real inflasion means the exploitation of Japanese property.
Recently, I was often impressed with the good service from bussiness efforts, but I got to hear a news which drop out from a price-cutting war. Export industries such as car and electric companies are the major industry in Japan. They got profits by exports and they always need the demand. Now, everyone goes to China and, after that will go to Africa. I wonder that we have to serch for new market for ever, what one would require to for the future?
I guess that the good point of Japanese is the trust, so Japanese bank or insurance company or walfare also could become a grobal service. They have a manual for aging society. Even emerging contries eventually go to it, especially in China, it will come soon.
In addition, in Japan, there is a need for law, such as consultation about contract and bond. We think that it is necessary a lot of money and time for the trial, but the trial is originally for the solution of problems. I guess, if it become quickly and cheaply and come in useful, that's bussiness will grow up.
Well, I bear no immediate relationship to these issues, but such a thing will have indirect effects on our life, and I can't see my whole life ahead of me, and I feel less secure.
After the budget cut, Japanese goverment spoke that they attached importance to science and tecnology. And then they should invest our budget in it. I wish the Japanese goverment would keep trying for the new future with far-sighted policies.

Political ferment

When I see this country's confusion these days, I can't help thinking the political poverty.

In US, it just so happened that president Obama's awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009. The Nobel Committee hopes the award will help for him, and to inspire nuclear powers to move toward nuclear disarmament.
But he took it in stride, because the Nobel Prize is understimated in US and he is plagued with so many problems, the rise in unemployment and backlash of the old guard in every policies.
When you look dispassionately, he makes his intention clear and his policies seem to be very smart and stand reason, he is a true political leader.
But I've heard his rating has still fallen.
There's saying,"Bread is better than the songs of birds." which describes recent political issue perfectly."Honorable poverty" means living a pure and indigent life without regard for personal desire.
Everyone knows it, but in reality, it is easier to commend poverty than to endure it.

In Japan, there is a different type of confusion.
The problem with leadership is a big problem with Japanese politicians themselves.
There are many leaders who are always fighting with each other resulting in very little success.
So, when one leader was elected, at least, everyone should promise to cooperate with the leader.
They must first put some rules that deal with the cooperation.

And the Japanese leader needs to cultivate leadership.
I think that the principle of leadership is charismatic, it can improve by human efforts.
It is important to make the atmosphere as a leader. The appearence includes that deep and well-projected voice and better position. The political sense includes that strong identity and assertion and steadfastness.
And in the election, people easily depend on circumstances. So political party and politician could use psychographic strategies. I've convinced that some American politician use it.

Any way, the world won't change just by complaining. I want to be interested in politics and have my opinion.

9.11

Today was the eight anniversary of the US terror attacks.
I've remembered "2001.9.11" in Besshi, it's located in mountain area. An ALT teacher who lived nearby came to my appartment for getting more informations. She was just as scared. For a while, we are talking about it. In fact, I'd felt a slight strangeness like another world.
But, it was a real life for her, because, at that time, her aunt lived in New York.

Now, in what kind of situations are New York?
From what I heard, deep sorrows still exist.
I think that "9.11" will seriously continue to affect people's lives, for a while.
" 9.11" was originally formed by invasion of Iraq. I whish they cut the cahin of hatred.

People say, "Feelings of forgiveness are important. Hatred only brings about hatred."

Obama presents "dialogue" as a foreign policy.
He shows his attitude to Middle East, he would try to have a dialogue and understand Mid East and Islamism.
I agree with his policy, I belive it is helpful to solve the issues through dialogue and negotiation.

We know, the opposite meaning word of" love" is "uninterest".
So, I believe that the terrorist would not attack to US if he doesn't change his policy.

It's inevitable we have defferent sense of values, because we have been brought up with different environments, languages, and customs. So, US should try to understand their point of views, and express your different sense of values and ask for understanding from them with different cultural backgrounds and customs.

I'm convinced it would come down to a difference in values.

Well, I'm wondering why US attach importance to the international contributions.
I just hope people around me would be happy.

I guess it comes from their religion or education, and they who are standing a high social position have more great ideals.
Next time, I want to think about it.
