The Hosting of Summer Olympic Games in Postwar Asia and Tasks for “Tokyo 2020” : From the Viewpoint of the Theory of Space in Sport
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to reveal tasks of “Tokyo 2020”, the second Summer Olympic Games held in Tokyo, from the viewpoint of the theory of space in sport. So far Japan, Korea and China held the Summer Olympic Games in Asia, mainly functioning as political and economic means. However, in addition to athletes competing and connecting, possibilities of how the event can influence society will be in demand for “Tokyo 2020”. Therefore, in this study, the space of sport was divided into “in-court” and “off-court”, and related to actual society, the importance of communication “off-court” was indicated. In order to convey messages and form missions of “Tokyo 2020”, the cultural characteristics of sport should be considered important, and it is essential to understand how these values – according to the theory of “lemma” resulting from a free will and intuition – influence people’s lifestyles. In this sense, Japan as the host of “Tokyo 2020” and as mature society, is expected to play a leading role to foster “Jita-kyoei (mutual prosperity)” among Asian countries, and in addition is responsible for “connecting” the model of proactive pacifism, which sport is able to transmit, to society.departmental bulletin pape
Vietnam’s Labor Export : Responses to the Problem of Desertion among Technical Interns in Japan
Get PDFThe number of Vietnamese workers participating in Japanese Technical Intern Training Program has been increasing rapidly in recent years. While this phenomenon is seen as part of the increasingly closer relationships between the two countries, it has also brought about some unfavorable side effects. The number of Vietnamese technical interns who run away from their workplaces, become illegal workers or even criminals has been on the rise. This paper attempts to examine the effectiveness of the measures taken by the Vietnamese side to tackle with this problem of desertion among Vietnamese technical interns. The paper will firstly focus on regulations by the concerned governmental agencies such as the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA), and then the development and application of the Code of Conduct (COC) for sending agencies by the Association of Manpower Supply (VAMAS). It turns out that various regulations on the pre-departure costs incurred by the workers are complicated, unclear, and seemingly contradicting with each other. MOLISA has de facto discretion in applying some of the provisions although there is no reference in the document. While there is an abundance of incorrect and tricky information related to labor export on the Internet, it is very difficult to get to accurate information, provided that there is “accurate information” at all. Regarding the COC, while it is a well-intended and well-designed initiative to promote legal compliance among sending agencies and better protection of workers’ rights, it is not a mechanism to find out bad practice or punish bad actors. The COC is implemented by only part of the sending agencies, and its ranking system has not yet received broad recognition.departmental bulletin pape
Quantitative Analyses of Determinant Mechanism of Beauty in Indonesia : Is Beauty Nature or Rational Investment?
Get PDFThis paper scrutinizes the determinant mechanism of beauty in Indonesian society. The literature has revealed diverse social consequences of physical attractiveness. Still, it has been left unsolved whether beauty is naturally determined or intentionally achieved. Data were collected in 2018 Opinion Survey on Local Governance in Indonesia. A representative sample in Java was chosen and analyzed with 3,212 respondents. Interviewers evaluated respondents’ beauty and skin brightness on five-point scales. Key findings include, first, that education and income increased skin brightness. Second, while skin brightness did boost beauty levels, education and income also raised it. This implies that different socio-economic status groups use different strategies of investment in beauty capital, which is changeable and controllable. Therefore, beauty depends, at least partly, on individual attainment.departmental bulletin pape
