Ephesians 5:11-14;
“Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness; rather expose them, for it is shameful even to mention the things done by them in secret; but everything exposed by the light becomes visible…” That is what this site is all about.
Freedom of speech? In Japan? I often wonder if the people who work for the International companies are forgetting the fact, that even though your company or school is located in this country, that the laws of your home country still remain on the outside. We can’t expect to bring the freedoms we enjoy at home with us when we go abroad, and therefore, whether we like it or not, we have to abide by the laws that are in place here. If you’re looking to push for social or legal change, then your voice must be much louder than this, and drastic measures are required. But don’t look to the Japanese for assistance or sympathy. The majority of Japanese are completely unwilling to stand up to their superiors and Japan as a nation, is resistent towards change.
But I wish you all the best with this fight. Although, I think this fight only touches slightly on a very large issue in this country, which is worker’s rights. It’s an issue that the Japanese are unwilling to fight for on their own, for fear of losing their jobs. Fear keeps the masses in check in Japan…. that has always been the way of things here. So you’ve really got you work cut out for you if you intend to change something. I think it’s nearly impossible but if there is someway I can help, by all means, let me know.
Keep up the good work
I dedicate this page to you! Half the hits on this site I’m sure come about every day by certain someones hoping to find something slanderous.
Don’t worry, no one will find anything
Don’t think of me as the thorn in your side. Rather the rose behind your ear.
Also,
The colossally poor judgment exercised in the Elementary School in 2006 against Ms. Tran needs to be remembered here. R.I.P.
The school does not uphold nor follow the law. The school will have to learn that an international school is not above the law.
