Although the use of shadow education has been positioned as aneducational investment strategy for children, mainly in the sociology ofeducation, recent discussions of relative poverty and child poverty suggestthat it is also a necessity for daily life. However, much of the previousresearch has discussed shadow education only in the context of educationalinvestment strategies and poverty studies, respectively.In this paper, we analyze data from a questionnaire survey of parentswith middle school children conducted in 2019 and matched with eighthgrade academic scores. The results revealed that(1)middle schoolstudentsʼ use of shadow education is divided into two aspects: “educationalinvestment strategy” and “necessities of life,” and(2)academicperformance of children from families with poverty as a reason remainslow. Having been able to present such evidence, this paper will havesignificance as a basic resource for examining the need for out-of-schooleducation vouchers.

Class size reduction is a hot topic in policy.Since2021,elementaryschools will gradually be phased in to35students per class for all grades.However,most sociological studies examining the effects of class sizehave been set on students,such as the correction of academicachievement gaps.It is not only students who are affected by thereduction in class size,but teachers as well.In particular,it would bemeaningful to examine whether the reduction in class size has a positiveeffect on the busyness of teachers,which has become a social issue inrecent years.Therefore,I will empirically clarify the question “Does classsize reduction reduce teacher work hours? “by analyzing elementary schoolteacher data from TALIS2018.In this paper,I used decision tree analysis as the analysis method.Byusing decision tree analysis,it is possible to extract non-trivial informationfrom the data.The analysis of constructing hypotheses from previousstudies and testing them is often prone to manipulation,but it is expectedthat decision tree analysis can present findings that have not been obtainedbefore.Furthermore,decision tree analysis can be read like a flowchart,making it easy to interpret the results.Therefore,even non-experts caneasily interpret the results of the analysis,and the knowledge can beeasily shared between experts and non-experts.The following two findings were obtained from the analysis.(1)Thesmaller the class size,the shorter the working hours of the teachers.(2)There is no statistical relationship between teachers’working hours andthe number of children with low Socio-economic status in their classrooms.Japanese schools do not have as many students with economicallydifficulties,students with limited native language skills,or immigrant andrefugee students as their European counterparts.Nevertheless,if theworking hours of Japanese teachers are the longest in the world,it is aproblem of work culture.Solving “child poverty” is a very importantsocial problem,however perhaps even if this problem is solved,thebusyness of teachers will not go away.A fundamental reconfiguration ofthe work culture of teachers is needed.

Western leaders and mass media, including their Japanese counterparts, quick to claim "victory" in the cold war, never took a close look at the "losers". It was assumed that Russians would take to Western forms of economic and polifical development as eagerly as they had bought Western jeans and rock music tapes on the black market. The West's, that is, our biggest mistake was to have expected more than Russia was able to become. We did not fully understand how sick Soviet society was. There was, on top of everything else, no trusted new "elite" to replace the old. A truly non-partisan civil service has always eluded Russian governments. And the so-called democrats or reformers in power are themselves nomenklatura people, their children and their acquaintances. In a word, the system never collapsed after August, 1991, despite the appearance. S. Handelman, Canadian joumalist and author of ≪Comrade Criminal≫, elucidates, in his work, that the bureaucrats and managers of the former regime acquired new capital and political strength by exploiting the legal vacuum left by departing Communist authorities. Thus, a post-Soviet mafiya emerged, in corporating (1)the most entrepreneurial element of the former nomenklatura and (2)the gangster capitalism of the new. The Comrade criminal-the personification of this new force that combines the just mentioned two elements-is now setting the rules of game in Russia. Inspired by Mr. Handelman's sardonic insight, I try to trace here, both on local and national level, though in a very sketchy way, how the nomenklatura suruives. And by drawing this sketch, I want to clarify the essence of the organisation, that had been called the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Modern social theory, from Hobbes to Simith, is based on the concept of“private man. ”According to Hegel, private man appears after the decline ofcommunities. It refers to the atomistic type of human being in modernsociety.From the point of view of young Hegel, private man lost the totality, buthe also recognizes the value of private man in history in a definite sense.Then, he establishes the schema, that is to say, community-society-highlevel of community. Correspondingly, human beings move from Individuumvia Einzelne to a high level of Individuum.Hegel examines the experimental thoughts about dialectics in the Jenaerperiod (1801-1807). Through works preceding The Phenomenology of Spirit,including The Spirit of Christianity and its Fate, The Difference betweenFichte’s and Schelling’s Systems of Philosophy, The Critics of ModernNatural Law, and Jenaer Real Philosophy, he analyzes the self-formationfrom Einzelne to general Individuum, which is the main purpose ofphenomenology.I examine that Hegel adds the concept of private man to the context ofdialectics between Individuum and Einzelne. He establishes the base forthe dialectics Allgemeinheit-Besonderheit-Einzelheit.However, he identifies Einzelheit with Individualität at the end, on thesame condition of private property, regardless of categorical distinction ofthe two. This brings about the criticisms of Kierkegaad and Marx.

This paper consists of ten scraps which I scratched while reading Shunsuke Tsurumi’s works and others’ articles about him. This is not a well-thinking paper, but merely my memorandums or, I would like to say, a kind of “pensee”on Shunsuke Tsurumi.

This is the third part of my project on spiritual care theory. Waldemar Kippes, a Catholic Father from Germany, has developed spiritual care theory in Japan based on his Christian faith. What is spiritual care theory of Kippes? Among his proposed six human dimensions in the theory, Kippes emphasizes that spiritual care providers relate mind, spirit, and soul to their professionally specialized areas of care. To create a better medical care team, it is important for spiritual care providers and healthcare professionals to distinguish the dimensions proposed by Kippes. In addition, in this paper I discuss the relationship among soul, spirit, and mind, and explain the consequences to other dimensions in care work. Kippes theory also offers suggestions for professional development programs. And one great characteristic of the proposed programs for care providers is a requirement of learning philosophy and religion. In this paper, I further elaborated upon definitions of "spiritual care" and "pastoral care" by Kippes. Today the word "Kippes" among spiritual care specialists in Japan is synonymous with spiritual care, pastoral care, and religious care. In Kippes theory, we must pay particular attention to Japanese cultural, religious and historical contexts.

Anthony Giddens published Capitalism and Modern Social Theory in 1971 and Politics and Sociology in the Thought of Max Weber in 1972 on the base of his studies on Weber's works. This paper, which is a part of my research project Giddens and Sociologists, aims to examine how Giddens used products of his studies on Weber's works in constructing his social theory since 1973. First, introducing his interpretations of Weber's works in Capitalism and Modern Social Theory, I depict the entire structure of Weber's social theory. Second, introducing his examination of relationships between Weber's political ideology shown in his political works and social theory shown in academic works, it will be made clear that the strong interest in contradictions brought by economic and political rationalization was consistent in his politics and sociology. Third, I research how Giddens has tackled central problems in social theory by learning much from Weber's social theory and politics.
