Black Lives Matterが問いかけたもの—日本警察も変われるか

Black Lives Matterが問いかけたもの—日本警察も変われるか “完璧な人間などいない。だから組織が完璧であることはあり得ない。” — Kouhei Takagi(高木耕平) ブラック・ライヴズ・マター https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ブラック・ライヴズ・マター ブラック・ライヴズ・マターとは、アメリカの警官による暴力と、それに対する社会の怒りから生まれた運動だ。特定の人種に対する差別意識が、無意識のうちに警察の行動に表れていたのかもしれない。 日本警察について考えると、現在の日本社会はさまざまな人種・宗教の人たちが集まってきている。昔の日本社会では、同じ文化や背景を持つ人同士の問題が多かったが、いまは違う。多様な背景を持つ人々が暮らす社会のなかで、警察の対応も複雑化している。警察の現場の人間の心労はピークに達しているかもしれない。 冒頭の言葉にあるように、完璧な人間など存在しない。だからこそ、どんな組織も必ずどこかに改善の余地がある。重要なのは、誤りを「隠すこと」ではなく「認め、正すこと」である。 私自身も、日本警察によって不当な扱いを受けた経験がある。そのため、同様の被害が他の人々にも及んでいるのではないかという疑念が拭えない。 警察も人間である以上、誤りを犯すことはある。しかし、誤りを繰り返し、その是正を怠れば、やがて組織全体に対する信頼は失われる。 ミスをすることは恥ではないが、ミスを繰り返すことは社会の信頼を失いかねない。 警察という制度を否定するつもりはない。ただ、時代が変わりつつある今、警察という組織もまた変わるべきときに来ているのではないか。 差別や偏見を減らし、多様な人々を公平に守るための新しいフレームワークが必要なのだろう。 私たちが求めるべきは、「完璧な組織」ではなく、「誤りを認め、修正できる組織」である。 その姿勢こそが、未来の警察に必要な最低条件なのではないだろうか。 追記(2025年8月3日) また、現在の日本において重要な論点の一つとして、 外国人被疑者に対する精神鑑定のあり方 がある。 日本語という言語文化、医療制度、そして価値観の中で行われる精神鑑定が、本当にその人の「内面」を正しく理解できているのかは疑問である。 少なくとも、 母国の医療機関や第三国の中立的専門家に判断を委ねる...

Smile Paid Society, Japan

  “A man without a smiling face must not open a shop.” — Chinese proverb My Observation Results in Japan’s Public Space I have been feeling something different with Japan society for more than 30 years. Recently, I found the reason, it is emotional faces, especially smiles, have been decreasing on Japanese in public space, for example trains and streets. Shrinking Economy, Shrinking Smiles Maybe the reason is that lack of economic leeway took their smiles. Other reason which I can imagine is that their anxiety about the future. The Chinese Proverb Shows The Truth, and Japan Economy May Keep on Shrinking The Chinese proverb is true. No one wants to go to the shop without smiles. Smile-less society never grow up. My Opinion: Japan Is Smile Paid Society, and I Won’t Pay for Smile Japanese smiles cost… I don’t want to pay for their smile. I didn’t want to change my life country, but I feel that I need to change it… Afterthoughts “People rarely appreciate what they take ...

  Unknown and 6 Personal Types “Nobody is perfect.” —Common idiom DO YOU KNOW ONE STORY “THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT”? The bind men told different things when they touched to different parts of the elephant. The story shows that they could not reach to the truth, and we should open our eyes to know the truth.

Unavoidable damage

  “Unavoidable damage” There will be unavoidable damage to USA society after USA president election. What caused the division of USA society is the capitalism. I am not communist, but I know that capitalism maximized the disparities of high and low class. Maybe some of high class people in USA will escape to EU or countries where English is spoken, before or after the election. I am sad to low class in USA. However, if some of high class people in USA leave from USA, left people can get chances to move to upper class. It is natural as if company which did restructuring will revive because of lack of upper class. So that around the election, there may be some confusing in USA society, but after it, USA will revive. In addition, the enemies of USA may realize it, so they will try to confuse bigger.

IQ and Society

When discussing IQ and society, it is important to note that individuals with lower IQ scores in Japan are more likely to be incarcerated, with an average score of around 80. In contrast, it is said that successful business people in Japan have IQ scores ranging from 115-120. Based on this, there are four types of people: those who are positive towards society and have a high IQ, those who are negative towards society and have a high IQ, those who are positive towards society and have a low IQ, and those who are negative towards society and have a low IQ. If someone with a high IQ score is not happy, there may be a few reasons for this. For type (1) individuals, their IQ score may be too high, and if it is above 120, happiness may be saturated. For type (2) individuals, their negative attitude towards society may be causing unhappiness. It is important to reflect on our own attitudes towards society. If we have a negative attitude towards society, it may hinder our success, regard...
