The actual conditions of playing the bully in elementary, junior and senior high schools have been reported and pupils or students who were bullied have committed suicide one after another. Moreover, bully and injury cases or murder cases caused by one's true mother (father) or by the people living together have occurred endlessly. The construction of society and one's view of worth changed, we cannot deny the fact that one's view of life has been changed. However, "to foster life" and "to nurture a feeling of sympathy" should never be forgotten, whichever period or society we may live in. As such problems have occurred so often, special correspondence is pressing in school. But I think that even in the period when the higher education had not been so popular as today, we were taught at home that playing the bully is wrong. When a member of a Japanese family at home calls himself (herself) as the first person or calls the other member as the second person, the junior member doesn't call the senior member using personal pronouns. On the contrary, the senior member takes to the junior member without using terms that shows his (her) family relation. In Japan the fasis of telling oneself or calling the other member of a family is on "which relation a member has to the youngest member of a family." These things have been one of the primary factors of fostering "the mind of sympathy, " I think. Therefore, I consider this problem paying special attention to the members' way of calling each other in a family in Japan.
