After the end of the Second World War, the Soviet Union temporarily maintained the "postwar international order" which aimed to establish peaceful cooperation between the victorious powers and to prevent the defeated nations from restoring their military power. The Sino-Soviet alliance of 1945 was established to embody the order. Instead of analyzing the order, however, previous research merely claims that the Sino-Soviet alliance was unequal because the Soviet Union secured interests in some ports and railways in Northeast China in the treaty. This paper argues that Moscow defended such interests by employing the logic of the "postwar international order". To begin with, this study examines the role of national security and ideology in Soviet foreign policy. Next, the historical process in which Moscow gradually altered their policy from postwar peaceful cooperation to the Cold War strategy is studied. Lastly, this paper argues at length that the Soviets managed to secure their interests in the Sino-Soviet alliance by referring to the logic of the "postwar international order:" victorious powers (the Soviet Union and China) shall cooperatively prevent the defeated nation (Japan) from restoring their military power.

In this era of rapid globalization, the use of smartphones and socialnetworking services has triggered various forms of stress in young people,which could have a negative impact on their physical and mental health. This study seeks to provide educational support for the health of universitystudents, by examining the potential of deep breathing for stress management,which can be easily performed by anyone during university lectures. The subjects included 12 third-year university students(4 males and 8females; mean age 20.3±0.45 years). The lecture content was not structuredfor stress management education. Deep breathing was performed during 14 lectures, from the 2nd to the 15thclass. Subsequently, in the 2nd, 7th and 15th lectures, a questionnaire wasconducted to evaluate mood before and after deep breathing, using the TwodimensionalMood Scale Short Term(TDMS-ST). The subjects were also askedto freely express their ‘current mood and feelings’. Consequently, the study found that deep breathing promoted subjectivemood effect in participants, especially a pleasant mood effect, and increasedrelaxation. Conversely, there was no change in unpleasant moods before andafter deep breathing, suggesting that a few minutes of deep breathing had nosignificant effect on unpleasant moods. These results suggest that deep breathing can serve as an effective way toincrease pleasant moods in university students, and can be considered as one ofthe most effective techniques for addressing the various forms of stress thatstudents face.

This article re-examines the strong effects theory, a popular theory in mass media studies. First of all, there is the theory of bullet effect, typified by Cantril's research on Orson Welles' The Invasion from Mars. However, this has been questioned and controversy continues to this day. But in the first place, Cantril did not advocate bullet theory, nor was the Martian Riot intended by the radio station to panic people. Furthermore, the Martian invasion Riot itself was fake news. Some kinds of hoaxes and also demythologization spread readily according to the media effects theory. In this paper, an overview of this is given and it is suggested that it would be better to reposition the media effects theory, which has been conducted as part of Media Studies, into the category of rumor studies. In that sense, it is argued that it may be possible to reconsider it as message theory rather than media theory.

This paper examines the significance of interdisciplinary fieldwork, which enables the co-creation of local resources, through the presentation of its specific characteristics. Specifically, the authors take the example of an academic research project on a target society in the Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) area of Miyazaki Prefecture, which they are involved in, and confirm the process through which local resources were embodied in the project among local residents, government officials, and researchers. In addition, the project will be examined from the perspective of co-creation, which will contribute to the improvement of future crossdisciplinary collaboration projects.

I have analyzed the 1985 Plaza Accord as the main cause of the Japanese bubble economy of the late 1980s in the previous paper. However, this analysis might be too simplistic unless a close examination of land prices before the Plaza Accord is taken into account, because the prices had already risen before 1985. The sharp rise in land prices preceded the depression due to the yen appreciation after 1985 and to a series of reductions in the official discount rate after 1986. Thus, this essay discusses the rise in land prices and the land policy leading to this rise during the Nakasone administration in an attempt to offer a unique perspective on the Plaza Accord and the bubble economy by evaluating the land policy of the administration.

This essay analyzes the Plaza Accord of 1985 as the main cause of the Japanese bubble economy of the late 1980s. Firstly, the U.S. economy during the first period of Reagan era is discussed and the balance of payments issue is reviewed utilizing economic theory. Secondly, the Plaza Accord as a means to fix the trade imbalance between the U.S. and Japan is examined, both in terms of the policy formulation process and economic theory. Lastly, a comprehensive evaluation of the agreement, which used to be called an origin of the economic defeat of Japan, is made. Analyzing the trade imbalance issue within the framework of economic theory helps to suggest that the actual approach taken to fix the trade issue was politicized in defiance of economic considerations throughout. Some recollections of the participants are also utilized to look back on the bubble economy and the long decline of Japan's economy after its bursting.

The purpose of this study is to investigate and clarify the characteristics of civic education reform in Chicago Public Schools (CPS). CPS, known as one of the largest metropolitan school districts in the U.S., launched school-wide civic education reform throughout the district to tackle with the issue of the “civic empowerment gap.” First, CPS has created its original high-school civics curriculum that would help teachers incorporate students’ lived experiences into the classroom and teach them how to participate in society and make changes in various ways. In addition, CPS provides students with a variety of opportunities to exercise their voices and take actions to make a difference in school, local communities, and wider society, such as service-learning in multiple subjects and “Student Voice Committee” programs. CPS has also added “Student Voice, Engagement and Civic Life” component into its school evaluation framework, which would foster school-wide commitment to civic education.

Many clothing styles of young Japanese women are driven by a desire to make themselves "look cute". However, girls dressed in the Lolita fashion, which is characterized by feverishly pursuing dollish or princess-like girly "cuteness" (kawaii), seldom show any interest in being looked at as "me in a cute dress." These are gestures to block other people's eyes. And at the same time, they do not hide their great pleasure in seeing "lovely dressed girls" rather than being seen as lovely girls. For them, wearing Lolita fashion seems to have become a means not to "see" lovely things, but to "be seen as lovely". Japanese culture is often classified as a "shame culture," in which an aspect of "see or to be seen as" something is accompanied by cultural and political asymmetry between men and women or an aspect of being too much concerned about people's eyes, as if suffering from scoptophobia. In these girls' unique fashion, we might be able to find a possibility of transformational subversion against such conservative attitudes. Using interviews, we would like to examine this phenomenon from the viewpoint of media theory.

Firstly this article deals with the history of sanatoriums for leprosy patients especially from the standpoint of famous leaders like Souichi Iwashita, Kensuke Mitsuda, who was called the father of leprosy patients, and Fumio Hayashi, who was a faithful disciple of Mitsuda. Secondly it analyzes the attitude of Tadao Yanaihara toward leprosy patients.He did not regard leprosy as a heavenly punishment, but as a heavenly grace and insisted on the hope of the resurrection of the body. He also esteemed the dignity of the patients and their right to live. He visited several sanatoriums likeTama Zenshoen Sanatorium, the National Leprosarium( 多摩全生園), Nagashima Aiseien( 愛生園), and Hoshizuka Keiaien( 敬愛園) and held lecture meetings for patients in each sanatorium. Thirdly this article evaluates the problems of the compulsory segregation policy and the movement of" no leprosy patients in each prefecture." How did Yanaihara respond to such compulsory segregation? Although he did not resistthe segregation policy, at least before the antibiotic Promin was invented in 1943, he did not think that leprosy was a shameful disease or that the purity of the nation should be maintained. He preferred the dignity of patients to thepurification movement. He wanted to build communities of mutual love and assistance in sanatoriums. Moreover, he even asked leprosy patients to pray for world peace.

Animal advocates are divided on the understanding of the position of humanity in the world; rightists regard Homo sapiens just as one species in the animal kingdom, whereas welfarists maintain that humans stand at the pinnacle of the hierarchy of life. This paper aims to offer some arguments against the latter view. First, the concept of human supremacy is based on Judeo-Christian values,which despite their long tradition in Western society, are not universal and can be seen as preposterous in other cultural settings such as premodern Japan. Second, some welfarists assume that denying humans a special status degrades human dignity and undermines universal human rights. However,as the histories of colonialism, slavery and racism in Christian countries have demonstrated, human exceptionalism does not guarantee that the rights of every person will be protected. Third, our anthropocentric practices have already started to endanger the very survival of humanity on this planet.

The opinions and discourse of intellectuals during the Sino-Japanese conflict from 1937 had a great effect on the construction of theories favoring escalation of the conflict. Many liberal intellectuals were involved in drafting important national policies while Fumimaro Konoe was premier and some such groups even attempted to promote socialism; influencing public opinion to approve of the war and distancing Japan from the US and UK. Eijiro Kawai was a typical liberal intellectual, but unique in that he approved of the war against China, especially the Communist Chinese, advocated parliamentarianism, and also viewed Comintern as a threat. His advocacy was never wavering or ad-hoc, but based on a reasoned awareness of crisis and understanding of the international situation.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibility of a citizenship education program that integrated a study program in disaster-stricken areas.The paper uses a case of a summer program for high-school students in Fujisawa city, conducted by NPO and local government. The program influenced and empowered the participants in various ways.They gained deeper understanding and awareness of what happened on the day of disaster, as well as the current challenges in disaster-stricken areas. Some of them even started to take actual actions. These changes are significant in terms of youth civic development. There were some keys that triggered these changes: i) encounter with the experiences and challenges of people in disaster-stricken areas, ii) interaction with those who have stood up and take actions to make change, iii) environment that accepts and encourages youth’s voice and action.

At the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Eva Kor, a former subject of Mengele's experiments, declared that she would forgive all Nazis. This statement has stirred outrage among many Holocaust survivors. In order to review her intent, this paper first clarifies the meanings of forgiveness in general, referring to the latest philosophical and psychological studies. The second chapter examines some comments on Simon Wiesenthal's "The Sunflower" which poses a conundrum about whether we should forgive a dying remorseful Nazi. The opinions of those like the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu, based on the Buddhist weltanschauung and the African concept of "ubuntu" respectively, introduce us to a new dimension for forgiving criminals of heinous atrocities. The third chapter analyzes Kor's proposal to heal both victims and perpetrators of the genocide, which proves to be in line with restorative justice.
