My opinion about police

Video reaction

  Watching this video, I feel that American police are cruel. In this video, although I do not know what they did, American police seemed to put handcuff on people easily. And they were violent. A man who was taken by some polices looked to be assaulted by them. They were also severe toward a woman. I watched that a woman and a police are quarreling and the police held down the resisting woman and also put handcuff on her. I was surprised.

  In Japan, police are the symbol of justice. Almost all of us, Japanese, think that police secure us from criminals and various accidents. But on the contrary, in America, people seem to be afraid of police. It looks like that police are the symbol of power and fear, not justice.

  When there are too many people in the community, conflict occurs. The teacher also said the host of the pool party gathered too many people and the party became too big. But I think it is natural. I think the police are set up for that. So police should be fair and justice for all members of the community not like this video.

Japanese police

  Although I write same thing previously, I think Japanese police are the symbol of justice. I trust police.

  My mother likes TV programs featured the police, so I would often watch such a program with my mother. The police in the program are so cool for me. Sometimes, they discriminate and crack down on drug users, and sometimes they chase speeding car. I also loved the drama about special police. The police in this drama were sent to more dangerous scenes such as blast and crime with hostage. In both the program and the drama, they always struggle against crimes with all of his knowledge and experiences. Watching them, I thought always that police are strong and secure us anytime.

  Some people say police cannot be trusted when they watch some news about police scandal. But police who have to do with such a news are a small part of the whole police. I am angry at them. Although almost all the police are striving for us every day, trust in the police goes down due to these scandal which are made by a part of the police.

 Anyway I trust Japanese strong and faithful police.

 

My memory of Great East Japan earthquake

  When Great East Japan earthquake hit in Japan, I was in Shizuoka and having an English class in junior high school. The first quake was slight and other students said nothing, so I thought just I was dizzy. But the second quake was slightly bigger than the first one and it was rolling. This time, everyone seemed to feel the quake and the classroom started buzzing. Then, our teacher turned on the TV and news about the earthquake was broadcasted. After that, we resumed the class as usual.
  
  After school, I did not have a tennis club activity, but I had something to say to my tennis coach, so I went to his house by my mother’s car. In the car, we were watching the TV and it still broadcasted the news about the daytime earthquake. At this time I though nothing especially. In Japan, earthquake is common and it is not rare. So, I just thought an earthquake hit again as usual.

 Then, we come home and we were going to watch the TV while eating dinner. But, whichever channels we chosen, there was no program except for news about the earthquake. Day after day, the situation was same. At this time, I just realized that this earthquake was so serious.

 In these days, I often watched images of tsunami. I did not know fear of it before Great East Japan earthquake hit in Japan. So, I was surprised to know destruction power of tsunami and felt awful.

 Saying honestly, I could not really understand how much victims of Great East Japan earthquake had difficulties at that time or just now because I did not directly experience the quake. But through Great East Japan earthquake I see a lot of kindness and consideration from all over the world. People in various countries sent relief and warm messages to Japan. I thought we must not forget not only the earthquake itself but also everything that people　in the world did for us.

 Recently, in Nepal, a big earthquake occurred. Now Nepal needs help from us like Japan in those days of Great East Japan earthquake. Japan should know what we have to do now. I think Japan ought to lead the world to help Nepal people. Of course, it is same for me. It takes a long time to go back to life before the earthquake. So I will continue to do what I can do for Nepal.

If I were the opposite sex...

I have some things that I want to do if I were a man.

1.  Play soccer

As soon as I entered the elementary school, I was going to join a soccer team in which my brother was playing. But there were few girls in the team, so I gave up playing soccer. Now I am regret that. If I were a boy, I would have taken part in the soccer team without hesitation.

 2. Eat more

I love eating, but, probably, women are more likely to gain weight than men. So I always endure eating until I am satisfied. Besides, I am concerned about people’s eyes. It maybe my prejudice, but women who eat a lot do not look elegant and men like that do not. If I were a man, I could eat as much as I want without worry!!

3. Wake up 10 minutes before a class starts

Women have to make up and set their hair before leave home and men have not to do so. If I were a man, I would sleep as long as I can!!

Although I picked up a few things I would like to do if I were a man, I do not want to be a man. I think there are many points of view about difference between men and woman. Men tend to be given better treatment than women. But, I think women have more options than men in some points. For example, women can wear both skirts and trousers, have both long hair and short one and change their mood or feeling by making up. If men do like that, it seems strange. I love wearing various clothes, wearing high heel shoes and making up. So, I am happy to be a woman!
