The issue that people discus know in Saudi Arabia is driving car for woman .some people in Saudi Arabia think that woman must drive car, because some of them need to drive to go to the job or hospital and they don’t have any man to drive them to what they need . On the other words, some woman does not have man to help her in what she need. other people think that women does not need to drive in Saudi Arabia because woman in Saudi Arabia live as a queen and most of them have driver , so they do not need to drive car.

The controversial issue in Japan is about the consumption tax. Now the tax is 5 percent, and some people say that it should be hiked, other people say that it should be kept.
ReplyDeleteIn the opinion of the one side, the consumption tax should be increased to 8 percent in April 2014 and 10 percent in October 2015. Mr. Noda, the Japanese prime minister, says that the all the income from the consumption tax will be used for social security payments and child-raising measure. Moreover, because the Japanese tax is much lower than European countries, it is not surprising idea. It is very important for Japanese people to make the system better.
On the other hand, people say that the tax should not be increased, and it is not essential because they do not trust the government. In the other word, people think that the government does not use the tax usefully, and much money is used by the government. European tax is high because the people trust their government and they can receive proper services that will let them live securely. Therefore, in the opinion of this side, the consumption tax should not be increased.

There are different points of view about working women in the shops for women supplies in the Saudi Arabia. Some people agree because it will provide that nearly 300,000 women jobs. Also, it will activate the move, which will bring several benefits. For example, reduce unemployment, and stabilize the psychological, social and functional for those who are interested in these jobs. On other hand, some people refuse because they think that employees do not bear the pressure of work. Moreover, some families refuse that women will finish their works at the midnight. Finally, now there are many companies in S.A that make women to work in their shops.

The recent controversial issue in Japan is immigration Issue.There are two opinion about this issue in Japan. One of opinions is to accept immigrant who come from another countries like China, Korea, and Indonesia. Japaense workforce will become weaker because recent japanese population declines gradually, so they insist that we need new workers.
ReplyDeleteThe other opinion is to not accept immigrant. This group insist that if we accept immigrant, it is possible to increase of a crime rate. In conclusion, Japan faces problem of immigrant now, and people have to think this problem seriously.

One of the controversial issues in China is about Chinese education system. Now, one group think we need to learning other country's system, like the US. The focus is on students average score and measure. The other group think China have its own education for over 1500years, and it is not necessary to change. Education system in Western country (Like US and European) is not fit on China. The old rule of China is looking at just one test to measure student in different level.

Hi Ayidah, I am interested about what you wrote. I am one of people who agree that women should drive the car in S.A in order to finish what she wants and needs by herself.
ReplyDeleteHi Unknown(Hideki?)! I agree with your concern about Okinawa's the U.S. army bases pboblem. Most of japanese thought that the U.S. army should go back to America, but it is time to need the U.S army now because north Korea started to try rocket launch recently. For this reason, I also concern about this issue.
ReplyDeleteHi Yui, I am so interesting to know about this issue in japan .I don’t know a lot about tax because we don’t have tax in Saudi Arabia. However, I think 8 or 10 present is too much because the products still increasing .I think it also hard for some people to pay that. However, in the same time it has an advantage that it will be used for social security payments and child-raising measure.
ReplyDeleteHi, Hideki. I think this is so controversial issue. I know people in Okinawa are in trouble because of American base. But I think we need the base. The reason is same as Wata. We can not protect ourselves from around threat. If we have enough power, we do not need it.
