inventing a building which can manage disasters！

 What: Building which can deal with an earthquake and a tsunami

When: begin to invent from now and complete by the time a big earthquake attack Japan

Where: build in Japan

Who: people who live in Japan, especially live near the sea or a river

Why: In Japan, a lot of earthquakes happen every year, and sometimes an enormous earthquake strike Japan. From the past, many people have suffered and have been killed by earthquakes or a tsunami occurred by the earthquakes. We have to work out the measure to protect ourselves lives. Then, the building which we are going to invent is the best solution.

Background: It is said that Japan is one of the country which undergoes a lot of earthquakes in the world and is the country which suffer tsunamis the most times in the world. In fact, earthquakes occur almost every day under Japan and the area near Japan, if including small ones. Moreover, there is no place in Japan which isn’t attacked by an earthquake. According to the date of this 10 years, excepting 2011, 1000-3200 earthquakes happened every year. In 2011, there were more than 10000 earthquakes happened.

People live in Japan have been damaged by earthquakes and tsunamis occurred by them. For example, in 2011, a big earthquake happened under the pacific ocean near East Japan. The disaster caused by this is called “the Great East Japan Earthquake”. This is the biggest earthquake which have ever damaged Japan, and killed more than 15000people. 90% of them were drowned, and most of other people were killed by rubble floated by tsunami.  If the buildings had been able to avoid the shock of the earthquake and the tsunami, many of them were alive now.

So, we hit upon this idea!

How: Today usual building can’t fly. So a big swing which earthquake makes destroys the building. Also usual building is too heavy not to float on the water. But the building which we hit on is covered by very light and soft material like superball. The material includes bubbles. And we can control the quantity of the bubbles and the position of them. When swings happen, we control the bubbles, the building can jump during earthquake. If big tsunami attacks, the bubbles support the building, at last, the building never sinks under the tsunami. So what are in the building such as computers, papers, of course, people are safe.   Furthermore, as the material is so light, even though the building is high and falls down, the damage might be minimum and the victims must be few. Moreover, the building is soft, people in outside can catch it. If people crash the floating building, they may have injury. If the idea were held, in addition to the office building, we could devise the idea to house and school, all of building. Also we can think that the idea can be useful when tornado happen. So the idea can be also used in the country which earthquake doesn’t occur.

my thoughts on ariana miyamoto

I want to support her. Even though she is half Japanese and half American, she has a Japanese nationality. So, of course, she can represent Japan. When I watched youtube, a man said that appearance was not all. The inside was also important. I think so. Actually, she has personality like usual Japanese. She is good at syodo, likes miso soup. To be honest, I’m not good at syodo. So she is real Japanese. Moreover, while we watched youtube, I thought that in addition to me, a lot of Japanese wanted to support her. That proves that they don’t worry nationality and her appearance and her skin color and they want her do it her best. But when Miyamoto was a younger, she was teased by her classmate. Garbage was thrown to her. She might be sensitive. To young her, she once hate her personality. However, finally, she didn’t get to dislike her personality. She seemed to have confidence. So she could bear tease and discrimination and participate in the contest.

 I and Japanese should learn Miyamoto. That is challenge spirit. Japanese is passive and negative. Furthermore, Japanese don’t often do things earlier than anyone. So they are not good at speaking English and talking in English. I think it is stupid. Miyamoto didn’t mind neighborhood’s opinion, valued her thought, took part in contest. Eventually, she won the victory. The reason why she did them is because she understands herself and is proud of herself. I think that I want to have confidence.

  Today, but Japanese people in the world should learn her. Miyamoto doesn’t her personality as black American. She has global perspective without prejudice. That is so important. Nowdays, some countries and religious organizations act to force us recognize their belief. That is disorder and prejudice. There is no mutual understanding. Today is a global age. We can’t avoid relationship with our boss, family, and foreigner. Prejudice makes us make good relationship with them. So we must learn Miyamoto’s thought. We must not have negative image of nationality and skin color, religion.

 I have many things which she teaches me. Confidence, no prejudice and so on. I want to promote challenge spirit throughout college life. During college life, we can do many things such as volunteer activity, sports and of course study. We want to be person who can work in the world.

my opinion

I think that I am happy to be born in Japan. The article says that increase in mortality of middle aged white American is because their live are so harsh. Financial crisis leads to a big recession, they experienced unemployment and have home loan. Their anxiety troubles them. So the number of suicide in middle aged white American increase more and more. Moreover, generally speaking, it is said that American is fat. Their diet includes so much cholesterol and sugar such as hamburger, steak, cola. I image so. That is not healthy. Those foods shorten their longevity. Also it is said that these age must look after their parents and children. Their parents retire and grow old cannot do homework by themselves little by little. Their children grow up and enter the high school and college. That is so cost. But their children still cannot work. So middle aged parents pay these cost. Such a responsibilities damage their mentality.  

 But I have a question. For sure financial crisis threatens middle aged white American’s life. And fatty foods influence their mortality. But other racial American must experience and eat them. There are many ethnic groups in America. Black and white yellow people live in America. They all have housing loan and eat hamburgers. Why only a number of white American die? Why that trend is marked? Furthermore, suicide rate of them is ranked 2^nd. I studied these reasons. However, I can’t find out clear reasons.

However, at first, I think that American government should change rules that are about drugs. In Japan, marihuana is included in illegal drugs. But in America, it doesn’t be prohibited. Nowdays, traffic accidents increase by illegal drug users. According to investigate, among things that are detected from accident drivers alcohol is 1^st and marihuana is 2^nd.  Marihuana have an effect on mental and physical healthy. Marihuana dulls our determinant. Good points are nothing.  Increase in mortality of middle aged white American should be stopped right now. Stress in society is not be given out by drug. We may not avoid home loan and crisis and responsibilities. But we must cope with them. Talking with friends and playing sports help you relax. We have to look for hobby, things that make you happy. That may decrease mortality of middle aged white American.
