So... I was busy trying to come up with a reasonable essay topic yesterday that I completely forgot to write my first class entry! Woops! Thanks Naoko and Sayako for reminding me...!
During yesterday's class I felt very unsure about what topic I should choose to write an essay on. I wanted to write about the sengan/heigan entrance exam systems in Japan but I realized that would not work since we need at least 80% of our sources to be in English and those systems I just mentioned are unique to Japan (I think?). I was a bit confused after hearing that we need to write something that includes educational values. Hmm...
Oh and I had no idea that there was a huge protest on Valentine's Day just 7 years ago. I wonder why almost none of us knew about it. Though I was shocked, I thought it was really interesting how the number of student protests had dropped so drastically from the 1960's to 2003. I personally thought this happened because we have grown so used to living without direct warfare in Japan that we take peace for granted. What did you guys think? :)
