How to Protect Yourself from Chikan
All trains and subways in Tokyo and other cities around Tokyo are terribly crowded during rush hour. In addition to the crowds on trains, young female passengers have to go through one more trial on a train. They must protect themselves from Chikans, men who touch women on the train. Women who are working or studying in Tokyo have to keep three things in mind when they are on a train: how to avoid meeting Chikans, how to protect themselves, and how to protect their friends.
First, young women should try not to choose lines or trains which have a high possibility of meeting Chikans. Needless to say, Chikans seldom appear on trains which are not crowded. Accordingly, the best way to avoid Chikans is to avoid taking crowded trains. However, women have to take crowded trains during rush hour to arrive at their offices or schools on time. Though they cannot choose the time of the trains, they can choose which line they should take. In general, women meet Chikans more frequently when they take private lines, the subways, or JR lines. They especially have to be aware of some lines which have a bad reputation among young women. For example, the Odakyu line is one of the most crowded trains. We have all kinds of schools, including high-level, low-level, and public schools along the Odakyu line, and many women, especially female students, tend to meet Chikans on this line. I met ones who were male students of a certain school when I was a high school student. In contrast, many schools along the subways in the center part of Tokyo are high-level or expensive private schools, and women do not meet Chikans very much on these lines. The Inogashira line is also famous among women for Chikans. Many young people use this line to go to Shibuya, which is the most popular place in Tokyo. Some of my friends told me that some men use this line only to touch women. Because of these reasons, I often use other lines to go to Tokyo.
Next, many young women tend to put up with Chikans silently when they are on a train alone. However, they should protect themselves from Chikans by following three steps. First, if you think that someone is touching you, turn your head slowly and look at his hand to make sure that he is really a Chikan.

It is very important that we are invulnerable to rape. Rape can happen to anyone at any time. Rape prevention strategies help to decrease the risk, but the risk never drops to zero percent. In our society of rape myths, gender ideology, and exposure of sex in the media, especially in advertising, and especially when it involves violence, rape will be in our culture for a long time. Our culture promotes this brand of sexuality and we turn our cheeks to rape and any negative form of sex.
Little Tokyo, which consists of approximately four acres and five large city blocks in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, is one of the most culturally rich and diverse historic districts in Los Angeles in addition to being one of three remaining Japantowns in the United States. Established in the late 19th century, Little Tokyo was once home to tens of thousands of Japanese immigrants as well as one of the largest Japanese American populations in the United States. Over the years, Little Tokyo has been faced with stratification and contradictions in the form of overt discrimination and the internment of Japanese people during WWII. These contradictions have resulted in the transformation/reinvention of Little Tokyo from a thriving Japanese immigrant community, to “Bronzeville” following the outbreak of WWII, to the important historic, cultural, and civic center that is today. Although the Japanese American Population is not as large as it once was, Little Tokyo is still the cultural heart of Los Angeles’s Japanese American population. However, due in part to the recent boom in downtown residential construction, little Tokyo is on the cusp on another transformation. Although Little Tokyo is portrayed as a cultural space for Japanese Americans in Southern California, it is developing into a leisure space . This process is being sped up by the addition of the Metro Little Tokyo/Arts District Gold Line station and by plans to add a Blue Line Station. Nevertheless, the Little Tokyo Community Council (LTCC) and the Little Tokyo Business Association (LTBA) are working to develop a vision for neighborhood sustainability that “respects and enhances the neighbo...
President Bill Clinton is very questionable. When people think of him that automatically think about his scandal with Monica Lewinsky. But his presidency was not only revolved around his scandal, he made very drastic decisions when it came to foreign policy. When he first came into office, he had little experience with foreign policy. Also he had little interest but due certain circumstances he had to get involved the foreign problems. He was involved in the Balkan Crisis and other foreign countries.
Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have many similarities. Both of their first terms as President were shockingly alike such as, job approval rating difference being only point five percent and the interest in reforming available healthcare to people of lower class. Both President Clinton and President Obama were referred to as black presidents, only because they didn’t uphold the same backgrounds as did the former presidents. Neither Obama nor Clinton had a personal relationship with his father, which meant both grew up in a single parent working household – a reality rare in the time period. Both young Obama and young Clinton grew up aspiring to be great lawyers; they married lawyers Michelle and Hillary, respectively. Clinton, as well as Obama, belong to the Democratic Party. However, despite the many similarities between the two, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama could not be any more different. Former President Bill Clinton proves superior to the current President Barack Obama because of the beneficial strategies he used to improve the United States of America.
It has been funny to me during the first week of classes how many teachers have asked the question, “how many of you are good at math,” because it is usually assumed that if you are good at writing it is probably one of the only things that you are really good at. Therefore, it becomes very scary to think of yourself as doing anything other than writing. Journalism is also one of the scariest job markets to enter into. Even former president Obama stated that “traditional journalism is dead,” (http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/314759-obama-traditional-journalism-is-dead) so why do we do it? We continue on because we love it. We love to write, but for every good writer there is a good
A journalist is someone who is responsible for collecting, writing and distributing the news to the general public in an effort to keep them informed about the day to day events that take place locally, nationally and internationally.
I still remember the last sentence my parents said to me when I was about to board the airplane which leaves China for America: “take care of yourself and be safe.” However, the experience of taking a campus bus for the first time was not safe at all. As a new, international student, I arrived on campus one week earlier before class started, so there are actually very few people on the bus heading to the marketplace around 2 pm when I got on. After I sat down, a black woman moved from her original seat to my left seat. A couple of minutes passed by, she started talking to me, asking me where I was going, and I told her I was going to Best Buy. Then she enthusiastically told me I should get off the bus after two more stops, which makes me think she is really friendly and nice. After chatting with each other for a few minutes, she suddenly approached to me and whispered: “do you think you can help me with a couple of dollars?” I was scared and terrified. Fortunately that was when my stop arrived, so I ran off the bus feeling like I was about to be robbed and hit by that black woman. I have never experienced this kind of “borrowing” of money before, and that is why this event left me with such a deep impression. That is when the question “how safe is the campus?” raised to my mind for the first time.
Clinton is an important woman for her academic record in the fields of law and political science. In 1965, he enrolled at Wellesley College, where he majored in political science and noted both for its excellent academic
They have a very varied day to day job as they can spend time researching a particular story, verifying sources, interviewing, writing stories, filming, or editing material; this varies depending on the type of media outlet they work for i.e. television stations or newspapers.

Sugita, the protagonist in “The Girl Watcher,” has several responsibilities: his job, wife, and children. However, his passion is watching young, wealthy girls on trains. Yes. Why does he choose this particular “hobby”? These girls attend expensive high schools and can be considered modern in both age and appearance. According to lecture, trains were a new space where people of different social classes mixed, and people had to learn to act appropriately and how to look at other passengers. Right! With much practice, Sugita has figured out how to watch young women on trains, abusing this new form of travel: “It’s too direct to watch them face on, whereas from a distance it’s…likely to arouse people’s suspicions; therefore, the most convenient seat to occupy is one diagonally opposite” (Katai, 175). Yes. This is one of my favorite quotes in the story. Sugita is not an ordinary man, his walk is odd and he is unpleasant to the eye. However, he lives a mundane and depressing life writing for a magazine. Sugita watches girls to restore his passion for life, to engage in the modern world: “was there no one who would embrace him in her white arms? If only someone would, then he was sure …he would discover life…in hard work. Fresh blood would flow through his veins” (page 180). He wishes he could be rescued. Young women remind Sugita of his youth, of things he wanted to do but never did, such as make passionate love.
According to Corbett K.
