Why some people bully others?

     Hello, everyone. As you know, there are a lot of incidents related to bullying around the world. A few years ago, the fact that some teachers had been hard on one of their colleges in Kobe was broadcasted, and many people were surprised and angry. As we grew up, we learned that it is bad to bully someone in terms of moral. However, I don't think that the number of bullying in schools or offices decreased for the last decade.      Why human bully others? Today, I'll introduce two answers to the question in below paragraph.      First reason is that those who bully someone are suffering from the idea that they are inferior to others in many points, and they want to think that they are excellent for humankind.

Could humans live in underwater city?

     Hello, everyone! Today, I'll introduce a podcast which I watched. The title is 'Could humans live in underwater city?'     In this podcast, whether we human try to live in the sea and what problems are of living in underwater are explained.

Because of the bends, even ex-military person could live in underw...

History of Otoshidama

イメージ
     Hello, everyone! Did you enjoy the last winter vacation? I do hope that you had a good time during the New Year. Today, I will write about the origin of Otoshidama  (お年玉).    　Why Japanese adults give their money to children on the New Year's Day? It is said that this custom had been related to "Year God(Toshigami-sama,歳神さま in Japanese)," who had been worshiped in each family during the New Years holidays. People worshiped Toshigami-sama because they believed that the God brought abundant grains to people. Also, people thought that they could be health and make a lot of grains during the year if they gave rice cakes, which were made for the God, to their family or servants.      Japanese people thought that the rice cakes were sacred things. Therefore, it is said that people called the rice cakes "rice cakes like gems( 玉( Tama ) のような餅)." Also, some people called "the soul of Year God (歳( Toshi )神様の魂( Tama shii))," so the rice cakes becam...
