- Should traditions change/be changed? -

Recently, the UK Church of England chose its first archbishop of Canterbury. In Japan, the first female Prime Minster decided not to attend a Sumo ceremony over a long standing tradition that women are not allowed in the ring.

Humans have long developed cultural habits that become traditions. Some people find these traditions restricting and a hindrance to progress and development. But some people argue that some traditions are our connection to our past and our ancestors.

So this begs the question: should these traditions change, or be changed? Who has the right to change traditions? How do we reconcile the need for progress and development with keeping and respecting our history?

- The LDP wins a supermajority -

Recently, the Japanese citizenry went to the polls and overwhelmingly voted for the current ruling party, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), led by Sanae Takaichi.

What do you think about this? Why did the Japanese populace vote for the LDP in this election? What are the issues that they hope for Takaichi to address? Will the LDP be able to deliver on its promises?
