For this week's assignment we are tasked to write about politics, yaaayyy..... (I am quite politically inept, so please understand if there are some discrepancies;;)
According to this article and this video, it seems that Japan has decided to make the immigration work requirement more strict that before. It is true that I've seen a lot of foreign workers here in Japan that don't speak fluent Japanese. So I think it might be a good thing to raise the skill requirement to filter workers who genuinely want to help work and imrpove the economy of Japan rather than hating Japan or trying to exploit Japan of their resources.
As for her stating that women shouldn't keep their maden names after marriage, I don't think that can help increase the marriage rate. The reason why is not everyone is keen on giving away their names. I think it should be a choice, after all I don't see why it's a big deal if people want to keep their names. In fact, some people even change their names mid-life. Hearing those kinds of "rules" might make women scared of getting married, it's like forcing them to give away a part of them, or even a part of their freedom.
That's all I can think of right now. I'm curious to read what everyone else have written!
I think its very important for a family to be one unit and that means having one name. ACtually some men take the wife's family name, if there are no other men left in the family. I was suprised to hear it!
ReplyDeleteIn Arab countries we always had separate family names for married couples, but the children take the father's surname. Instead the women keep close relationships with their families and I think that's a good thing.
DeleteI agree on the last part for sure 😤😤😤
ReplyDeleteYeah I think keeping it a choice is better. No reason for it to be forced imo.
ReplyDeleteAs for the immigration issue, I do partially agree that having stricter standards isn't bad. But like Japan tends to laser focus on stuff that's not important so I think it's good in theory but not in practice haha.
