lesson13(n_9) 予習 (South Korea _2 )

a) What do you think about what you read?

It's interesting to learn about the korean government's efforts.

Japan has the same problem. Before I read this article, I looked up poplation  Japanese who are reclusive. It's about 2.2 per cent of young Japanese.

But I think Japan government don't do anything for this problem. I think they are kind for old people but not kind for others such as yong people and children. I don't feel that Japan's efforts for ageing society.

b) Did you get lonely during the pandemic?

状況や気分によります。時には一人で過ごすことを楽しんで、充電をする時間として活用します。しかし、他の人との交流や社会的なつながりも大切にしています。

d) Do you have difficulties in leading a normal life?

Like everyone else, I face occasional difficulties in leading a normal life. It could be related to work, relationships, or personal challenges. However, I believe that facing and overcoming these difficulties is the need of life.

他の人と同様に、時には普通の生活において困難があります。それは仕事や人間関係、個人的な課題に関連することがあります。しかし、これらの困難に立ち向かい、乗り越えることは人生に必要だと考えています。

e) How can we deal with bullying?

It's essential to promote awareness and education about bullying and establish safe spaces where victims can seek help.
いじめについての認識と教育の促進、被害者が助けを求める安全な場所の確立が重要です。

f) Do technology and social media make people lonelier?

While technology and social media have their benefits, excessive reliance on them can sometimes contribute to feelings of loneliness.

テクノロジーやソーシャルメディアには利点がありますが、過度の依存は時に孤独感を助長することがあります。バランスを見つけ、意義のあるオフラインの交流に参加し、テクノロジーを人間関係を向上させるためのツールとして使用することが重要です。

g) What problems might an ageing society have?

It requires support systems to ensure the well-being of the ageing population. But It also needs to spport to the young people who help old people. For exesample, the ways to increase Japan’s birth rate. The yong japanese have worries about futures and don't want to give the barth.

高齢者の幸福を保障するためにサポート体制が必要だけど、高齢者を支える人たちへのサポートも必要です。例えば、子どもを増やす政策。将来の不安を感じてみんな子供を産みたがらないから。
