Class #14 Politics and Reflections
If you were working for the UN, which job would like to do using your English abilities? Why?
If I could work for the United Nations, UN, I would like be involved in the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
FAO is a speciallized institution, mainly working on defeating hunger.
Its efforts range over several issues, such as "agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices, ensuring good nutrition and food security for all."
In June 2008, it held the High-Level Conference on World Food Security.
The former prim minister Yasuo Hukuda also joined the summit.
The food and agriculture is essential for our life.
In particular, Japan food self-sufficiecy rate is just 40%.
We should work on this issue, seriously.

What kind of work place do you think you will work best in? Choose a country other than Japan and research and explain 1 aspect of their business culture that is different than Japan. Do you think it is a good practice? Why?
I am interested in Sydney.
This is because half of the population living there are foreigners, and the culture is so diverse.
This is a really fascinating.
Also, I have heard that many Australians like Japan.
I guess, I can be involuved with some kind of jobs realating to Japan.
However, I know their custome in the work place is quite different from Japan.
I think this custom is the same as Western countries.
They do not humble at all in a interview.
For example, even thogh they cannot speak English well, they say that they have a good skill of English.
In that case, it might be difficult for me to find the job, I guess.
As for this practice is good or bad,
I do not think this is a bad practice because Japanese humble even though they have a good skill.
It is rather complicating.
