Blog#3: world news
Hello, this is Akane Homma.
I heard the news that some people was shot at the shopping mall in Canada. The shot man was dead, and other people were injured. A criminal of this trouble is still at large.

This above is the web page of the news.
There are many countries which admit that citizens have their own guns to protect their lives and fortunes, and the trouble with guns are happened one after another. Forexample, a child playing with a toy pistol was shot by a man, because the man mistook the child had a real gun and pointed him. Moreover, ordinary people can get them easily in the countries under warfare and use them for killing. I feel sad when I know the fact like those.
Guns are useful tool for people in the area which is not safe, but they are also so dangerous tool. We, Japanese people, are not permitted having our own guns for self-protection, so this problem looks unrelated. However it is important to think of it because now that world has been globalization so world peace must be problem, like environmental probrems or economic ones, we humanbeings have jointly.

Hi, this is Yu Yamanashi. The news you introduced in your post was really saddening. Living in Japan, we tend to forget that gun possession is actually permitted in other countries. It is doubtful if the guns in these countries are used more for protection than assault, but it is also true that many harmful weapons beside guns exist, making this problem controversial. Still, I strongly hope that in midst of the globalizing world today, Japan would maintain its law for banning guns. We are not as a country accustomed to offensive defense, and introducing it would bring about chaos.
ReplyDeleteHi, this is Kaori Shimamoto. It is really upsetting to hear deaths of others. When I lived in Illinois, there was a gun shooting around near my house and our school was locked down because of that. It was very frightening and two people were killed. Even though America is free in having guns, it causes many problems. I still remember the story about a Japanese boy who came to America as a transfer student and was shot while trick o treating because the house he knocked on were people who did not participate in Hallloween. They thought he was going to hurt them so they took out a gun and shot the poor boy. Good thing Japan does not have the same law as America, even though a man had stabbed others with a knife, recently.
