 - Discussion Week 39 -

- Friday the 5th of February

 - Russia - 

I think we've had a good run so far talking about specific countries, so this week we'll talk about Russia, it's a big country, it has a lot of power, and it does many things that many other countries don't really like.

What do you think about Russia? Are they a threat to the rest of the world?

Should we be worried about Russia and it's capabilities?

How about the islands to the north of Japan, who do they belong to, and why?

Do you think Russia would attack if the rest of the world did something that Russia doesn't agree with? 

Let's talk about that.

- Sunday the 7th of February

 - Tourists and Refugees in Japan - 

So it seems that Japanese people are happy to accept tourists in Japan, teach them about Japan, and hopefully bring some money into Japan.

Does the number of tourists coming to Japan need to increase?

Also, even though Japan seems to like tourists, why is the English education in Japan not sufficient enough to allow Japanese people to engage with tourists?

Also last year, Japan only accepted 27 Refugees. Is it a bad idea to bring many refugees into a country? (not only Japan, but any country)

Why do you think Japan doesn't accept many refugees?

Should Japan bring in more refugees?

Let's talk about that.
