Paragraph Title: “Greenhouse Effects in Japan”
Today, the problems of greenhouse effects are getting worse all over the country. There are three severe effects on the environment as well as on industry and energy. First, the mean temperature has been rising over the last century because of greenhouse effects. To make matters worse, there are torrential rains in local places such as Kyusyu and Shikoku. Second, greenhouse effects cause the destruction of ecosystems. Recently, jellyfish proliferate abnormally along the Japanese coastline, on the Japan Sea as well as the Pacific Ocean coasts. Moreover the catch of fish is getting lower because of a decrease in phytoplankton. Finally, greenhouse effects also have a great influence on industry and energy. The rising temperatures cause the consumption structure to change. Seasonal products such as air conditioners, beers, soft drinks and ice creams will sell tremendously well so companies have to increase production and keep up with customer’s demand. However, the rate of the companies' operation will also cause a sharp increase in electricity consumption. To eradicate these problems, we should know what is going on around us and raise our awareness about them.

Paragraph Title: Article 9
The government and the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) should not lift the constitutional ban on collective defense in the near future. The Japan’s collective defense is banned by the government interpretation of the Constitution's war-renouncing Article 9. As a matter of fact, many Japanese are negative about the right to collective defense. According to a survey, held on May 12-13, 62% of Japanese agree to ban collective defense. They are concerned that if the ban is lifted, the Self Defense Force (SDF) will be more actively and deeply involved in U.S. military operations overseas. Despite the citizens’ position, the Government and the LDP are thinking too further the issue and collective defense. According to Hajime Funada, former chairman of the LDP's research panel on constitutional issues, the majority is thinking not about the decision to change it or not but about how to secure the right to collective defense. All thirteen members of the panel, called by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to debate the use of collective defense, are advocators of Abe’s position to criticize the interpretation for limiting Japan's role in its security arrangement with the United States. Furthermore, according to the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty, Japan isn’t required to defend the U.S. if it’s attacked. Instead of helping to defend the U.S., Japan gave a vast sum and extensive land for U.S. military bases. However, Prime Minister Abe, most notable among conservative politicians, argued that Japan would lose the obligation in wartime if Japan doesn’t change the interpretation so as to allow more military cooperation between Japan and the USA. In conclusion, the Government and LDP should step back and pause for thought, reconsider their options, the amendments, and their broader effects. We should also, as Japanese citizens, make the discussion livelier and take time to think about what Constitution's war-renouncing Article 9 means to us.

Paragraph Title: The Hindu Wedding Ceremony
The Hindus attach a lot of importance to their weddings ceremonies, which are very colorful and often extend for several days. The Hindus ensure their ceremonies are gorgeous and invite many people so as to show their status. Wedding rituals vary in different regions and castes, but some rituals are major and common to all Hindus. For example, the bride’s hands and feet are decorated with henna in complicated patterns. it This is called “mehendi” Mehendi is used to make the bride more beautiful and strengthen her love for her husband. In the ceremony, the bride, and groom and their families go through many rituals, but the most important one is walking around the sacred fire and the seven steps. Walking around the sacred fire signifies the bride’s determination to always stand beside her husband. The seven steps signify the beginning of their journey through life together. It also signifies they are legally married. In fact, modern Hindu wedding ceremonies are often much shorter than they used to be and don’t involve all the traditional rituals, but normally involve the sacred fire ritual. Though Hindu wedding ceremonies have been modernized in recent years, common rituals remain and people have respect for these rituals.
