I'm going to summarize the monthly magazine '' sekai ( the world or globe ) next month, which has been published by Iwanami Shyoten since 1945.

That has been regarded as a standard-bearer in the left-wing press.I used to read it once in a while when I was a student , however I'd been away from it for many years.
When I looked over Contents , a several reports have caught my eyes.
▮AT THE CROSSROAD OF CAMPAIGN AGAINST NUCLEAR POWER STATION IN
GERMANY
▮THE WAY OUT OF SLUMP by Paul Krugman and Robin Wells (Japanese version)
I will ever make out well in my job ?

From the latest news in the world
Heavy snowfall hit Europe this weekend according to the breaking news.
Although Europe is situated in far more northern area than Hokkaido , I wonder why such a little snow could cause a state of cunfusion over there ?

Medical tourism in Japan !
One of the major obstacles to traveling Japan is its entry visa.That is a sort of non-tariff barriers to trade(NTBs) .
This problem is also being in focued in economic issues. Especially there're both pros and corns in agricultual trade liberalization.

Confucius
10:11
巧言令色鮮矣仁
'' People who use compliment and a put-on smile have little virtue. ''
This is a famous phrase from the Analects of Confucius（論語）. And also almost the opposite meaning is as follows.
剛毅木訥近仁
'' a fortitude and unsophisticated person is almost benevolent. ''
That reminds me of what my boss told me once:
people are apt to think sales person have to behave like the former , however a talented sales staff must act like the latter.
Then whtat is a compliment ?
I would like to take a single instance for the different meanig between " the end of the war" and
" the defeat".
Japan has accepted an unconditional surrender on August 15 in 1945. In general, that day was called "the victory over Japan day" instead of " the anniversary of the end of war" in the world.
"the war was over" and "lost the war"
Both representations are likely to express the same historical fact,however, the war is
explained as natural phenomenon in the former case while in the latter social one which human will could control.
Some says the was over just like the winter has gone and the spring comes.
they put it like natural phenomenon because they never want to make the fact clear that it was exactly the human race that began and ended the war.
There is no help for it if they took a severe criticism that they destored the account of the historical crime.
If you observe really carefully ,you would notice Japanese mass media rarely use the expression of " defeat or lost battle" as if they were a banned words.
How can the Japanese denounce China as the lack of the freedom of expression !
