Ghandi once said, "Become the change you seek." It tells us that everyone wants change. Every country does. Sometimes we should accept the fact that we need it. We need reforms for the better of our country. It is a BIG step but why not take the risk, right?
There is only one leading party in Japan and that is the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). They ruled Japan since 1955 which shows us that they've been leading Japan for 53 or 54 years. Leading and dominating a country that long means something. What is with the LDP that no other party can take their place in the government?
Change is a major step that everyone encounters in their lives. No one or nothing can avoid change. So we have no choice but to accept it. Not only people, but countries are also scared of having major changes and I'm pertaining to Japan. They are scared of change. If something has been a part of their tradition for years, it will be difficult for them to change it. That is why it is somewhat difficult for them to change their Constitution, which they already had and live by since after the World War II.
The first time I heard about Rashomon was in my HUMALIT class. That time, to tell you honestly, I really did not get the point of the story. It was all confusing on who killed who. All I know is that we have to act out the characters and feel like we're really in that scenario wherein one of us will be the investigator, which will be the hardest role because you have to analyze what happened and guess who the killer was. I thought it was just another detective story, that's it. But I learned in that class, that this really deep story is the kind of style the people of Japan uses in writing. Little did I know that this story has more to it than just mysteries being revealed. It is significant to the politics of Japan.
What is Politics? Politics is the art or science of government or governing a political entity, such as a nation, and the administration and control of its internal and external affairs. That means Politics is a part of everyone's life and has a mark in each and everyone's identity. It is a part of our society and our culture. That is why it is important to compare politics.
