日本人の危機管理意識の脆弱さは、元内閣安全保障室長の佐々淳行氏によって、日本列島の地理的条件、外的緊張と、その反動としての弛緩とを繰り返す歴史的条件、それに「熱しやすく冷めやすい、忘れっぽい淡白な」国民性に理由付けられている。それに対して、井沢元彦氏は、「マイナス予測によるコトダマ反作用の法則」との視点から説いている。またこの問題は、日本人の「転向」研究から丸山正雄や橋川文三は、神道的裸身に外来思想を「着せ替え人形」のごとく着たり脱いだりする日本人の「理論信仰」と「実感信仰」との乖離的共存性からも説明されるであろう。筆者は、マーチとサイモンが言う「認知的合理性の限界」という視点から、この問題を論考してみたい。即ち、日本人は科学的実証で説明不能な現象には感覚的実証ですましてしまうところがある。この日本人の感覚的実証性の底には、神道的な「神頼み」のひとりよがりが流れている。だから日本人は、悪い予測を論じあって周囲の不安を煽るよりも楽観的・希望的観測に賭けて嵐の通り過ぎるのを待とうとする習性が古代から続いている。昨今の「竹島」や「尖閣列島」をめぐる領土問題にしても、日本人の対応は、危機管理意識の脆弱さ、あてのない楽観主義が見え隠れしている。 Japanese weakness in crisis management consciousness has already explained by Atsuyuki Sasa, former Chief of the Cabinet Security Council, as part of the Japanese national character. Motohiko Izawa also clarified this weakness in terms of the law of reaction of the spirit of language (kotodama) to a negative prediction. This problem was also attributed by Masao Maruyama and Bunzo Hashikawa to a crippling of theoretical faith and real faith. In this paper I would like to explain Japanese weakness in crisis management consciousness by means of March and Simon's "limits of cognitive rationality." The Japanese tend to depend upon a sensual positivism whenever a scientific positivism is incapable of elucidating a phenomenon. At the bottom of this sensual positivism there seems an individualistic trust in spiritual beings as shown in Shinto belief. This is why the Japanese are inclined to wait for typhoons to go away instead of ringing alarm bells by stating annoying opinions on the issue to the public.

'Cockney', one of the least-valued accents in Britain, is well-illustrated in My Fair Lady(1964), which is based on the drama Pygmalion written by Bernard Shaw. In this paper we will focus on what features cockney has, examining the lines by a flower girl, Eliza Doolittle and her father. Accent was one of the factorsthat sustained 'class barriers' especially in those days as Professor Higgins says "'Aoow' and 'Garn' that keep her in her place". We will also consider the role of cockney in the history of English.

This paper is dedicated to the late Dr. E. M. Goldratt by whose passing I was deeply affected. Dr. Goldratt proposed the Theory of Constraints (TOC). This paper introduces Dr. Goldratt's TOC which is based on the premise that the rate of goal achievement is limited by constraints which it then seeks to identify. TOC is systematized using the following management methods: Throughput Accounting, Process of Ongoing Improvement, Drum Buffer Rope, Thinking Process and Critical Chain Project Management; all of which are examined in this paper.

Official policies on prenatal diagnosis (PND) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) in Japan are substantially stricter than in many Western countries due partly to aggressive protests by some activists. They claim that PND and PGD followed by selective termination represent Nazi-like selection and devalue those living with disabilities. There are, however, some flaws in this so-called 'expressivist argument.' First, it grants unwittingly the moral status of born children to pre-embryos and fetuses. Second, it ignores the difference in kind and severity among various impairments which require specific treatment. Third, history shows that PND and PGD have developed hand in hand with the growing support for disability rights. Therefore, fourth, the fact that people with disabilities might feel offended does not suffice as a reason to override the reproductive rights of prospective parents who want to benefit from the modern technologies.

The aim of this study was to analyze the positive results achieved by changes instigated in the team management of the OIU women's lacrosse team. It was discovered that the attitudes of the team members improved following participation in a team-building camp. For the purpose of the study, the squad members were divided into two groups and their attitudes ascertained. There was no statistically significant difference found between the groups, which may affirm the reason for the team's success in the Kansai Student Lacrosse League. In terms of team management, it is believed that encouraging the members to focus on building awareness of their own skills and roles within the squad enables them to contribute better to the team performance.

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.

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.

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.

The state of support for parents and children in Finland was investigated because ofthat country's famously generous social welfare system. Visits were made to the citiesof Savonlinna and Turku in August 2008, with research being conducted at apreschool and a school for disabled children in the former city and at the Turku central library. Key factors are: respect for humanistic education, the importance of teacher quality,planning a personal program for each child, learning from nature and learning fromsociety itself, and the protection of parents. These suggest the importance that Finnishsociety places on the quality of life of both children and parents.
