Here is the list of the groups you chose today for your Research Project this semester. I'd prefer the groups were roughly even if possible, with at least four members in each group. Try to read around your subject area during Golden Week and use your blog to let the other members of your group know what topics you're thinking about the Research Project. Good luck!

Article title: Japan and China: School children's views
Source: British Broadcasting Company News (author not given)
Journal: BBC online (Asia-Pacific)
Published: Wednesday, 11 April 2007, 13:51 GMT 14:51 UK
Downloaded from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6545085.stm at 9.07am on April 23, 2007.
During Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao's recent visit to Japan, the BBC interviewed school children from China and Japan. This article offers direct comment from five school children (2 Japanese, 3 Chinese) on the relationship between Japan and China. Particular emphasis is placed on the teaching of history and Sino-Japanese relations.
(1) Why would the BBC choose to interview children about Sino-Japanese relations?
(2) Comparing the responses, what might you say about how the children's opinions are formed and informed?
(3) What are your views on Japan and China and the teaching of history? (Consider your own experience at High School).
(4) What do you think this article is aiming to achieve?
(5) Does this article offer a 'fair' representation of the two sides?
(6) Are there any clear differences or similarities between the Chinese and the Japanese children's responses?
(7) Some of the children compare the value of past history and present-day popular culture shared between the two countries. What does this say about the children's world view, if anything?
(8) Some of the children talk about resolving the problems between China and Japan, or mention the idea of forgiveness. What are some of the issues complicating Sino-Japanese relationships at present and what might be some solutions?

Article title: Japanese Mayor Shot Dead

Newspaper: Sydney Morning Herald online
Published: 6:17am, April 18, 2007
Downloaded from http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/japanese-mayor-shot-dead/2007/04/18/1176696867501.html at9.15am on April 18, 2007.
Nagasaki's mayor Icho Ito, aged 61, was shot twice at his campaign office around 8pm. His shooter is alleged to be a senior member of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Tesuya Shiroo, aged 59. Icho Ito died at 2.28am. The shooting is alleged to be in regard to the city's handling of a traffic incident involving Shiroo four years ago. The news screened on national television late last night and was commented on by Prime Minister Abe.
Some questions:
(1) What are the laws governing firearm possession in Japan? How do they compare with those in other countries?
(2) What is the Yamaguchi-gumi?
(3) Was this a politically motivated assassination?
(4) What other shootings have occured in the last ten years similar to this one in Japan or in another country?
(5) How was the shooting represented in papers around the world? What were the differences and similarities?
(6) Is it possible to draw out a comparison/contrast between this shooting and the shootings at Virginia Tech? In what way might you research and compare them, and toward what end with regard to Policy Studies?
