A Yale Professor Suggested Mass Suicide for Old People in Japan. What Did He Mean?
His pronouncements could hardly sound more drastic. In interviews and public appearances, Yusuke Narita, an assistant professor of economics at Yale, has taken on the question of how to deal with the burdens of Japan’s rapidly aging society. “I feel like the only solution is pretty clear,” he said during one online news program in late 2021. “In the end, isn’t it mass suicide and mass ‘seppuku’ of

For years, the Chinese government has prevented its 1.4 billion people from speaking freely online. A digital wall separated them from the rest of the world. Then, for a precious few days, that wall was breached. Clubhouse, a new social media app that emerged faster than the censors could block it, became a place for Mandarin Chinese speakers from the mainland and anywhere else to speak their mind

日本のワーキングマザー 妻の過大な負担・夫の過少な支援 (Published 2019)
東京 — ニシマサヨシコさんの書類作業は、いくらやっても終らない。 彼女は、毎日こと細かに記録をつけなければならず、それ以外にも注意深くチェックし、押印しなくてはならない書類をたくさん抱えている。日々の会話、行動、食事の内容までもすべて記録するのだ。 これらの作業のうち、マーケティングのプロである彼女の仕事のためのものはひとつもない。すべて、子供たちの保育園に必要な書類で、彼女が出社前に片付けるものなのだ。 38歳のニシマサさんは、日本のほかの多くのワーキングマザーと同様に、仕事とは無関係の、しかし骨の折れる事務的作業を山ほど抱えている。このような作業は、彼女の働く機会を制限している。今、日本は、彼女のような女性にもっと働いてもらう必要があると、唱えているのにも関わらず、だ。 安倍晋三首相は、「ウィメノミクス」というキャッチフレーズの女性活躍推進戦略を提唱し、停滞する日本経済を活性化させ

Opinion | This Is Why Uma Thurman Is Angry (Published 2018)
Yes, Uma Thurman is mad. She has been raped. She has been sexually assaulted. She has been mangled in hot steel. She has been betrayed and gaslighted by those she trusted.
