What is a rich society?what will you do?

I received a lot of posts on the challenges of "What is a rich society? What do you do?"Here are some of them in this corner, including the publication of the paper.

■ Options looking ahead

Hae Nishiyama (3rd year, 21 years old, Osaka City University)

I think that there are many options as one of the elements needed for a rich society. In today's world, I feel that it is difficult to see the options when I want to contribute to something. For example, if you want to contribute to the environment, you will choose from a so -called eco -car when you buy a car. Of course, there are many options in the sense of eco -cars. However, instead of choosing an eco -car, buying the eco -car to create a system that can contribute to the environment in other situations, the maximum desire to contribute to the environment. Can be connected to society. In a heart -rich society with many choices, I would like to cherish it to find the best options of my own. When I want to contribute, I want to be a member of society who can face myself about what the essence of that feeling is and ultimately make a little altruistic choice.

■ Thinking richness

Takizawa Ikuan (Kanto Gakuin Rokuura High School 1st year, 15 years old)

What is a "rich society"? That is what you think about what is rich. In the first place, I don't think I can even think that I am not a person who can afford mentally. At first I thought that it would be rich when I was in contact with what I liked, or when I met a work or event that was impressed. But it doesn't feel right. There is no clear answer. So I returned to the origin and thought. I noticed that this task could only be thought of when my heart was enriched. I thought that was the answer. Certainly, the word "rich" comes out only when you have a mental room. In fact, in areas where conflicts are occurring, it is not clear that one second will be greeted, rather than thinking about a rich society. So is the person who is bullying and is being cornered. Therefore, it can be said that it is a rich society that all people in this world can think of "a rich society".

■ Society that continues to grow

Makoto Nishito (2 years, 20 years old)

I feel "richness" when I realize that I have grown. Now, I sometimes miss the high growth period and the bubble period, and may be pessimistic about the present and the future. Perhaps because you are not growing currently growing or you will not be able to expect growth in the future. But I think society is still growing. In particular, new technological development for carbonization contributes not only to solving environmental issues but also to economic growth. I think there is room for growth other than economy. For example, solving social issues such as discrimination and disparity. If one of these disadvantages is reduced by one, it will approach the "rich society". I want to continue to grow to realize a growing society. I'm a student now, I'm just at the stage of growing myself, but I'm going to continue to grow up even when I become a member of society. Specifically, while the changes in values ​​have changed dramatically, we want to accurately grasp what is needed and problems, and contribute to society.

[The above is the idea posted on the paper]

■ Don't be afraid to change with imagination

Teon Hasegawa (3rd year, 20 years old, Osaka City University)

I think a society where everyone believes in their potential and act with imagination is a heartfelt society. Now that the change is great, fear of changing will be left behind from society. Those who are facing the change will survive, and those who have not faced each other will not do anything. We think that we are afraid of change because we cannot believe our potential and do not try to imagine the future from the current situation. This can be said to be not only individuals but also companies such as companies, so it is important to believe that both individuals and organizations can change the future, and to imagine the future. I want to look at both the current situation and the medium- to long -term future in order to believe in possibilities and imagine, and act with a consciousness as a member of society. In addition, we believe that working not only on ourselves but also on the people around you will approach a society where everyone can have possibilities and imagination.

■ Eliminate stereotypes

Aya Mitano (Kanto Gakuin Rokuura High School 1st year, 16 years old)

I think a rich society is to make people feel comfortable. So, what is good in the world right now, is it really good for us? For example, how about an electric vehicle (EV)? Currently, cars that use fossil fuels such as gasoline in the world are considered to have a negative effect on global warming. The EV was developed to suppress the emission of global warming gas. But if it is EV, will it prevent global warming? If it is said that EV is needed, isn't it just what you decide? Did you neglect to think deeply about why it happened? After each person thinks, act with clear and different things. I think this will lead to a rich society. I want to eliminate the "stereotype" in society. To do so, we always always question things about things. I want people to practice it and let people know.

■ Disability is in the infrastructure

Tomoyo Mori (sole proprietor, 57 years old)

I volunteered for the Tokyo Olympics. A lecture that thought about obstacles was taken prior to the event, noticed that "disability is in social infrastructure, not people." Until then, she thought that disability was a "difficult state in daily life" and that it was a problem that people with the disability had. But in fact, there is a true problem with the infrastructure that someone finds inconvenient in everyday life. Instead of matching the convenience of social majority (majority) or providing one specification to everyone like universal design, a society where various options are allowed to meet each individuality and needs. But isn't it a rich society? One of the personality is a disability. I want to remove prejudice against people with different personality from my heart and treat society from a flat perspective. I'm glad I was able to get involved with the Tokyo Olympics that made me think so.

■ Continue to be involved with the area

Yuta Noguchi (teacher, 37 years old)

I agree with Mr. Kawai's idea, "I keep asking what I want to value and how I can contribute to the future." I think my specific way of contribution is to continue to be involved with society. "Society ..." may sound exaggerated, but you can do it as much as you can. In particular, it is important to continue to be involved in the environment around you. In rural areas, the declining birthrate and aging are rapid, and if nothing is done, depopulation will progress at once. The community in the region is sparse, which further accelerates depopulation. The area that suffers from such a vicious cycle cannot be rich. From such a thought, I try to actively show up the local gathering. He started by greeting the neighborhood when he passed by, and attended the neighborhood association meetings and proceeded with festivals. Then it is a mysterious thing, and the feeling of ownership grew, and the attachment to the area where you live increases.

■ Feeling connected to people

Shogo Ito (company employee, 31 years old)

Looking at the players of the Tokyo Olympics skateboard women's park, I felt hints to realize a rich society. They were competing, accepting each other, respecting each other, and expressing them to the opponent with their whole body. I think a rich society is a society where you can feel the connection with people with a tolerance that recognizes each other like them. Japan is said to have low happiness in Japan. It seems that there is a part of the cause because the connection with society has diminished compared to the past, and the number of people who feel lonely is increasing. It is becoming more difficult to accelerate and increase the opportunity to connect with people in Corona. It seems that the club team, which I belonged to when I was a student, has difficulty to practice and have opportunities for games. On the other hand, the development of digital technology has once become easier to connect with people. In the end, it depends on whether you can make an opportunity. I want to increase the opportunity to connect consciously so that people around and myself feel rich.

■ The face is a window of the heart

Maki Takemura (housewife, 53 years old)

A modern society that has the moment of smiling in a day is the richness of the mind. There are various reasons for smiles, but I think it is something that can be given in common. The natural conversation with spouse, child, and friends is all love for me. The customer service business where you are involved. I am naturally smiled by the smiles of customers who always greet. Last year, a customer who stopped by on a distance and traveling. I was looking for a product that was not handled by our shop, but I looked up a nearby store and guided me. At a later date, when I received a thank -you note, I felt the great value of the customer service business. Even after a year, I am cheerful to see this postcard sandwiched between my notebook. Thank you. I think the richness of the human mind exists on an invisible "thought from people to people". Once again, I would like to thank you very much for the affection you gave from others every day. And I hope a smile will come to a daughter who lives a long life than me.

■ Think about the other person

Honoka Yauchi (school corporation Ishikawa High School 2nd year, 16 years old)

I think that a society that fosters good relationships and is formed from among them is a rich society. I want to keep in mind two things. The first is to actively communicate. People are trying to communicate through communication. Understand the other person. At the same time, get you to understand yourself. I want to build a relationship that each other trusts each other so that it can be done. Next, think from the other person's perspective. People have their own values ​​and worldviews, and the criteria for judging things are different. The important thing may be imagination. By doing so, you can discover what you did not see or noticed. Thinking from the other party also leads to the respect of the other person. When I actually quarrel with my friends, I realized that these two were very important. I would like to continue working to build good relationships by practicing in everyday life.

■ willingness to continue effort

Masaho Harada (3rd year, 21 years old, Aoyama Gakuin University Faculty of Science and Engineering)

It creates a rich heart to keep the willingness to become rich. A rich society is a society where people with abundant hearts gather and continue to work hard. I definitely define it because I think that the daily efforts of individuals trying to become rich will be the propulsion that leads society in a better direction. Each one may only be a small change, but the accumulation appears as a new richness that has never been a few years later. As we are now, we will surely seek the richness of the future a few years later. Everyone wants a richer future, and there is no goal. The important thing is whether you keep working on it, rather than waiting for others to be rich. In other words, the continuous efforts of people seeking richness create a rich society. I want to continue working towards the richness, rather than waiting for the richness.

■ Change familiar uniforms

Minori Takahashi (school corporation Ishikawa High School 2nd year, 16 years old)

I like pants for girls' uniforms. I always think like this in winter. Many schools have uniforms, and school rules have decided to wear uniforms separately for men and women. Recently, some schools have been able to choose their own uniforms from the perspective of LGBT (sexual minority), but they have not yet spread. I'm not LGBT, but I want to wear pants more than skirts in uniforms. Especially in the winter, the legs cool down in the cold wind, so I want to wear pants in winter alone. If all students nationwide can freely choose uniforms, I think that both me and LGBT people can live in school without worrying about their clothes. I think it's important for students to review them from their familiar uniforms in order to make a distinction from that person because they are LGBT or to respect each other without denying their existence. 。

■ Continue to use over generations

Tomohiro Murata (company employee, 53 years old)

"One grain of rice is God. If you leave it, you will be punished." When she was a child, her grandmother said like her habit. You will have such memories. But recently I have no idea. The word "old" may no longer be a dead word. That feeling of being with brothers and sisters is not embarrassing, but recently it has become a disposable society, such as "fast food" and "fast fashion." Only "cheapness" is emphasized. Is that really good? Japan is a country of craftsmen. While thinking of the customer's face, we value the craftsmanship that finished each one. "It's expensive but good." Isn't this the values ​​to cherish in a mature country? Use it with attachment even if it is a little expensive. If you get tired, you can sew, stick, shave, and continue to use it across generations. That way, it will be a society that is kind to the earth.

■ One breath that faces words

Yuna Kawai (3rd year, 21 years old, Osaka City University)

A society where you can think of each other and speak words is a "rich society". Words sometimes encourage people, but sometimes sad. Probably because the words have the influence beyond the imagination of the spoken side. With the spread of the Internet and SNS (exchange sites), it became a world where it was easy to send my thoughts immediately. On the other hand, the reality is that there are many remarks that hurt people on the net, because the other person's face is not visible. With the expansion of the new colon virus infection, actions will be restricted, and more opportunities to send information using SNS and the like will increase. In this era, I think it is more important to speak with responsibility in your own words. I always try to breathe before speaking. It's just a short time, but once again, check if your words will hurt people unnecessarily. I want to speak responsibly to my words, not just when talking in face -to -face, but also anonymous.

■ Spinning familiar happiness

Tomoaki Ida (company employee, 59 years old)

On the morning of the weekend, my parents, my brother, and my four gather at a coffee shop in front of the station. He has been having a family meeting while eating morning for 10 years. Sometimes they look back on their siblings, stories of family, and memories of childhood. Sometimes the story doesn't bounce, but there is only time to drink coffee together. A common everyday for four. It's a place to spend a time from the past to the present. During this spring, my mother moved into a service for the elderly (Saiko). I couldn't go to a coffee shop with a need for assistance. My father and older brother go to the Takasumi resident and start enjoying coffee. And her mother, who wanted to go to a coffee shop until her end, said, "Let's go again." Time with families and friends who can share various memories and daily joy. And the happiness of having a relaxing place. There is a limit to meeting people under the influence of the new colon virus infection, but I think it is important to expand happiness from a familiar place.

■ Change to the Better

Masayoshi Katori (Kanto Gakuin Rokuura High School 1st year, 15 years old)

I think that a society that I think is a society that goes in a good direction, no matter how bad the situation is. For example, airlines have deteriorated due to the influence of the new Corona. However, an airline sells the aircraft that had been used, using unused aircraft to raise weddings, and open a restaurant. It can be said that it is an airline as an airline as the days of being unable to travel and being patient at home. Then, when I thought about what I could do, I came up with a project to spread the thank you tree. For example, if you bring your chopsticks instead of chopsticks when you go for a school meal with your friends, you will say "Thank you". From a friend's point of view, you might wonder why it's "thank you", but it shouldn't be bad. Thanks for spreading, the people's hearts will be enriched and will greatly contribute to solving environmental problems and improving the atmosphere in the school.

Review of Nippon Special Ceramics and President Kawai Takashi

The theme was vague, so I was thinking that it was a little difficult.However, I was honestly happy to have you come from everyone.In particular, the free idea of teenagers, which accounted for about half, is impressive.

It can be said that Japan is materially satisfactory, so young people may be more sensitive to the word "rich".

As a whole, I felt that many people thought that "human, society, nature, and various things, such as nature, will enrich their hearts."

We also have a mission to contribute to the so -called sustainable human society, which is connected to the world.I read your opinions and strengthened the feeling of going further, based on the philosophy so far.

"Thinking" is of course important, but things start only after acting.So I asked, "What do you do?"

I thought it was an interesting perspective to aim for a rich society by continuing to grow in order to realize a society that continues to grow.It is unique to humans who can realize "growth".

In addition to the three selected ones, the opinions that raised the actions to eliminate stereotypes, saying, "Is it all good for us what is good in the world now?"

Until now, supplying internal combustion engine products that combine the power of technology have been reduced in environmental impact and contributed to society.I want to continue to improve my technology.On the other hand, as the significance of the car is changing, we must make a business change that meets the needs of the times.Let's create a rich society together.

Thank you for your many ideas from high school and university students during the summer vacation.In the meantime, I thought about a "rich society" as "a society where many people can control their hearts and to notice the hearts of others."

Google wanted to use the meditation law and respiratory method "Mindfulness", which is used for internal training.

I want to be aware of what I can do so that I can spend a lot of time in the middle of the automotive industry, such as the "once every 100 years, a very leather period".(Editorial committee member Kyoko Kimura)
