多様性「宗教と人種と性別と年齢の話」

Japan has been affected by other countries’ affairs.
We cannot live in the independent nation forever.

グローバル化は日本には難しい。島国なので国境線がない。ポルトガル語とスペイン語は方言みたいなものだ。しかし日本語と韓国語は全く違う。グローバル化を押し付けられても困る。
People in Japan find it difficult for our nation to accept the word “diversity” and to accept many workers from overseas or abroad because we have been accepted as a monotonous tribe or race.
We have no boundaries because Japan is an island nation, which is surrounded by several oceans.
On the other hand, both Portuguese and Spanish are a kind of a dialect because these two nations have only one boundary, which enables their people to have a national relationship across their boundary.
In addition, Korean language is completely different from Janaese one, almost all of us agree.

グローバル化は常に多様性が付随してくる。多様性も日本人には難しい。日本社会は常に異質なものを排除してきたからだ。差別社会の典型だ。それは差別する側の人間をも苦しめる。
Globalism is always accompanied by “diversity,” which we tend to find extremely difficult because we have a history where something alien or heterogeneous has been eliminated from our society, which is a typical discriminatory society.
At the same time, this kind of society makes those with discriminatory emotions suffer from the hierarchy society because their ranking fails to win the top position.

日本社会には仏教しかないので、宗教戦争は回避できる。エルサレムはあんな狭い地域に３種類が取り合いをしたら、喧嘩は避けられない。神まで同一となると喧嘩せんでもよかろうに。
There is only one religion in our society as well as only a few Christians, which is Buddhism imported from ancient China, so that we can avoid religious conflicts.
However, Jerusalem citizens find it almost impossible to avoid religious frictions because three kinds of religions exist in a narrow neighborhood.
After all, their beliefs never accept each other’s way of thinking absolutely, which results in numerous conflicts.
In addition, their holly God is only a being, who is the same imaginary one, thus we find it almost impossible for them to avoid frightening and threatening wars.

性別の問題もセンシティブだ。男同士とか無理。心は女って奴が女風呂に合法的に入ることができる。不快感を与えるだけだから、空気を読め。女同士が否定できないのはなぜなんかな。
We tend to find a gender issue extremely sensitive because we cannot understand that a male person falls in love with the other counterpart.
Furthermore, a male person with female mind could enter into the bathroom only for female in a legal way, which seems a kind of sexual crime, we assume.
Such people tend to end up imposing disgusting or uncomfortable feelings on the rest of female customers, so he must read an atmosphere, but to our regret, it is almost impossible.
However, a female person sometimes love a female one, which not a few male people mysteriously don’t dislike.

高齢は苦しい。若者社会の中で老害の扱いを受ける。昔は早く年金がもらえないかなあと思った。実はまだもらってはないが、払わなくては良いのは助かる。高すぎるんだとは思う。
Aging tend to make us feel ourselves useless or helpless in our current society, where few young people evaluate elderly citizens’ experiences highly.
Actually, I wished that I could receive a pension from a government earlier, but I don’t arrive at that age.
But I needn’t pay such a money in a few months, which is too expensive, we assume.
