Suicide issue: Japan VS Korea

Although Korea has gotten runaway success in global business recently, Korean has also become the most disgraceful country in the world in terms of citizens mental deterioration. More than 40 Korean people are taking away their lives a day because they have become mentally depressed.  This number is the highest in OECD listed countries.      

50 years ago, they fought against communist Koreans, after which, they divided their country into north and south. they established independent cultures. They established a culture wherein the only successful people are those who go to a famous University and work in a big company.

To achieve these goals, parents never hesitate to invest large amount of money to make their children survive in the fierce competition. Mothers willingly take their children to the Philippines to master English, while Gireogi appa* are working to finance tuition. If their children fail to achieve his goal, he will lose his way and reach impasse in his life. After they graduate from famous university, they need to win dog eat dog battle in search of job opportunity. Even after they can successfully enter prestigious company, their competition never end.　They keep on protecting the limited job position in the company. They are living with fearing for losing their fames and achievements.

Consequently, people in the wide range of generation commit a suicide in this country.

    

Compared with Korea, Japan also has high suicide rate, but it is smaller than that of Korea. The reason why Japanese commit a suicide is different from  Although Korean government set many anti-suicide counseling center and campaign.The government doesn't have a complete grasp of those who wanted to kill themselves.

How should we cope with delicate situation in our neighbor?

If Japan try to get along with Asian largest countries,  Uncle Sam certainly feels jerlous of Japanes attitude. If Japan triesto be dependent on the country across the Pacific, communist country complain about Japanese expedient stance.  For Japanese politician, deplomacy is literally like a tightrope walking.  Japanese government always need to express their opinion in delicate manner. Through TPP negotiation this times, I'd like to Prime Minister Noda to learn how to develop tactical discussion skills. American President Ohbama has met three Japanese Prime Minister in his presidency. He surely feels that Japan should launch President system in the election.  

How should we defeat the TPP monster?

As people in the world historically fear unknown threat like Basilisk in ancient anecdotes or Godzilla in modern age, people try to shun these things in daily life. It may be true to the TPP issue in Japan. Maehara Seiji, the chairman of Policy Bureau, commented that TPP was like a monster that haunted anxious Japanese mind.
Previously, I sided with the opposition, but I try to attack this monster in a different perspective. I turned to understand what it is like to join the TPP. I wrongly commented at my previous blog, so I corrected it today.

This time medical service fields are exempted from TPP negotiation. The Japanese Medical Association fiercely opposed the TPP since they fear the medical industry might turn into a profit-generating service.

 Australia and New Zealand are also against the insufficient inspection of BSE-contaminated meat, pesticide-contaminated vegetables,  and genetically modified food entering the domestic market.
Japan will do the same thing and impede the import of low-quality and suspicious meat and produce.

Besides these negotiable fields, we will have to revise our business and other civil law to ratify the TPP.  We need to dig deeper into the background why this TPP monster springs up.  We have not known whole and true image of TPP. Government should disclose all information that they have to the public. Citizens can't judge wether they should  support TPP or not.

the new and challenging phase to settle down critical issue, TPP. 

 It seems to be important for Prime Minister Noda to actively join the round table discussion at TPP.
Possiblly he  may have the chance to draw some compromises during his negotiation.
