University students in Japan, oblivious to the value of justice in a democratic society, are not qualified as intellectuals

 Is the general college and university student council of the archipelago just a second lieutenant in the conservative right-wing politics of the archipelago?......University students of the archipelago who died young are not eligible for college... Japan's public opinion "No War Abandonment" has increased its support for a constitutional amendment due to the threat of neighboring countries, and Japanese people, affected by the desire for change in Japanese society, are turning to favor a constitutional amendment. The Asahi Shimbun assessed that this was caused by fears of threats from North Korea and China and the desire to escape the dead end of the economic recession. Large-scale anti-Japanese protests in China and attacks on Japanese diplomatic missions and companies last month also added to Japanese anxiety. As a result, there has been a growing public opinion among Japanese who have not been interested in revising the constitution, saying that the constitution should be revised to strengthen the role of the Self-Defense Forces. In a April 2005 Asahi Shimbun poll, 56 percent of Japanese said they were in favor of the constitutional revision. They pointed out that the constitution, which was implemented immediately after World War II, needs to be revised. The figure represents a three-point increase from the 2004 poll. On the other hand, only 51 percent of the respondents wanted to maintain Article 9 of the Constitution, which Japan renounces war. 36% of the respondents wanted to abolish or revise Article 9. World War II, which was the starting point of the Japanese Constitution, is gradually disappearing from the memory of the Japanese. Today, the Japanese immediately think of the Iraq war, the threat of North Korea's nuclear bombs and missiles, and the abduction of Japanese citizens. The word "war" also reminds us of China's belligerent attitude, such as the invasion of Japanese waters by Chinese submarines, and "worry the Japanese and further question existing pacifism," the newspaper pointed out. The second reason for the increase in public opinion on constitutional amendment is the spread of the desire to escape the prolonged economic recession. A poll in April showed that 85 percent of respondents felt that Japanese society was facing difficulties. In this situation, it is analyzed that the Japanese want change, and thus this desire is reflected in the revision of the Constitution. Now in Japanese society, those who do not want to change are given an unfavorable look. Pacifists who oppose the constitutional amendment are dismissed as mere conservatives. Despite the situation, the positions vary widely when they enter into specific discussions on how to revise. Article 9, a key issue in the debate, "Japan does not wage war," and the right to participate in the alliance and air security are at odds. Some argue that a substantial army is needed today rather than the Self-Defense Forces. Others, on the other hand, oppose Japan's postwar security-only Japanese society, arguing that the Self-Defense Forces should be able to participate in international disputes in cooperation with allies. With the difference between the ruling and opposition parties and the public in their positions on the amendment and failing to narrow it, it is not an easy matter to revise the constitution in Japan as it must be approved by two-thirds of the House of Representatives and then a referendum. Despite various differences in positions, it is clear that pro-reformers are the trend and vague, but public opinion that wants social change is raising the mood in favor of constitutional amendment in Japan. Reporter Lee Ji-hye 2main@naeil.com "Japan's constitutional amendment breaks the spirit of reconciliation and peace." [Shinsegae Ilbo 2005-05-23 19:09] - Please tell me what kind of fear Japan has when looking at the forum's keynote. What kind of activities are you carrying out based on such perceptions? ▲My biggest fear is that the current Japanese constitution will change. From late last year to this year, the Japanese government, the ruling party, as well as important business groups such as the Economic Cooperation Association, are now working on a constitutional revision campaign that breaks the constitutional peace structure. Even now, Japan is actually drawing up a military budget with an army called the Self-Defense Forces, and even sending troops to Iraq. This is actually a situation that destroys the current constitutional norms. If Japan amends this constitution, it will go to an irreversible constitution that can actually wage war. Although constitutional norms and constitutional realities are contradictory, the "Article 9 Meeting" is being held to keep the current constitution and return to the original constitutional spirit. The move is aimed at protecting the Japanese Constitution, which Japan created to rehabilitate itself as a democratic and pacifist country in the wake of its defeat in 1945, especially Article 9, which declares abandonment of the war. Japanese politicians and businessmen may say that a novelist talks nonsense, but I have no choice but to use the word "hope" because I am a novelist. I can't give up hope. If I give up hope because I made the current constitution 50 years ago with the aim of reconciling with Asian countries and creating a truly peaceful world, all of my literature and life for 50 years will be denied. Over the past year and a half, 25,000 people have attended various lectures at the "Group 9" meeting, and 1,500 small groups have been created. This is a rare case in Japan. However, when elections are held, the practice of voting for the government and the ruling party is dominant. So to put it bluntly, there is only a 30% chance that my hope will come true. But I will never give up. The upcoming lecture in July has secured a space for 10,000 people to gather. The Japanese media has remained silent on the move, so please pay attention to our activities in the Korean media. &&&& No way...If we do demonstrations or anti-government demonstrations, there's no loser who thinks we're a backward country, right?
