A piece of news saying that Japanese young men will no longer be aggressive and work hard as their fathers did. They would not spend that much money as well. For example they do not spent a lot on drinking and they believe that a drunk in the street is just like an idiot. This interesting phenomenon is what I expect to see.
The article said a Japanese young man quit a job that needed him to work twelve hours per day. His boss told him that he would unable to find another job as good as that for the rest of his life. He said he did not mind because he needed more time to stay with his family. It looked like if it only needed the young man to work six hours and paid him less he would not resign. If his boss hired two people to work in his position, the decreasing of his working hours would make a job opening in this world. Unfortunately employers in this world do not think things in this way. In the end of Oct, 2010, New York State government declared that they will eliminate 890 job positions. People who lost jobs will get paid by the government in another way – collecting unemployment check and claim for food stamps. We still do not keep jobs by decreasing people’s working hours.
Minimimizing our spending can make decreasing working hours become possible. If we cannot create that many jobs we should decrease jobs demands. The policy of maintaining high consumption, high GDP to create jobs leads us to a dead end. Data shows that if people all over the world live by the standard that Americans live by the resources on earth have to be increased 500%. We are using resources that belong to our children and we left our debt to our children. The young generation should stand up to today’s policy.
On the same day I read the new trend in Japan, I saw an advertisement in the subway. Two happy young guys stood close together. They are those youths who hang out in the street to play basketball or skateboarding. They are obviously not future doctors or lawyers and they said they are proud of who they are and how they love. In the same advertisement it said that they are about trust, respect, and commitment. They do not work hard to make money, to be a doctor or lawyer to prove that they are somebody. They are somebody who will eliminate wars in this world because they love each other, trust each other and respect each other. That is an advertisement for facebook.com we love boo. I don’t know what boo mean however I can smell what they are cooking because what they mention has nothing to do with studying, working and consuming.
Reducing work hours doesn’t mean that we are laze. We just don’t want to work like a slave and spend money like an idiot. We just want to share our jobs and not set making money as our goal. On whole we don’t work hard, we don’t have money to spend, we don’t throw away things. We are cheap and poor but we love each other and we are proud of who we are.
