  • Prime Minister Suga, Gender Equality and Rapport Speech: a Study of Speech Style
    IPRPD International Journal of Arts, Humanities & Social Science ISSN 2693-2547 (Print), 2693-2555 (Online) Volume 02; Issue no 06: June 08, 2021 Prime Minister Suga, Gender Equality and Rapport Speech: A Study of Speech Style Shoji Azuma 1 1 Department of World Languages and Cultures, University of Utah, USA Abstract Issues related to gender equality have been widely and globally discussed in settings such as politics, education, healthcare and the workplace, among others. In Japan, the Japanese government has been working very hard to increase the number of women involved in Japanese politics, with minimal progress to date. The present prime minister of Japan, Yoshihide Suga, has intentionally sought to bring attention to this issue. He has, for the first time, selected a female cabinet relations chief for his government. His appointment of a female to this post is unprecedented. Unfortunately, due to a recent ethical code violation by the newly appointed female appointee and role model of female leadership in Japan, he felt constrained to accept her resignation from the post. The present study explores Prime Minister Suga’s treatment of this gender-related issue by examining his personal interviews with the media and press reporters in his cabinet. The study finds that Suga falls short of adopting an emotive and rapport style of speech which in turn, fails to attract listeners’ and voters’ support. Keywords: Emotion, Gender, Rapport, Speech style, Japan 1. Introduction Since the post-war period, Japan has been trying to address the controversial issue of gender roles in Japanese society. One particular focus has targeted the state of women in politics and government at the national and local levels.

  • Japanese Agriculture: What Are the Keys to Its Growth?
    part 1 What does The Norinchukin Bank look like? Rethinking our Raison d’être Special Talk The Professional Perspective Opening 01 Article Japanese Agriculture: What are the Keys to its Growth? Last year, a major earthquake hit Kumamoto. Mr. Hitoshi Kinouchi, who started farming in Kumamoto in 1985 despite being brought up in Tokyo, has been running Kinouchi Farm, a tourist farm growing mainly strawberries, and was one of the people who suffered serious damage. Mr. Hayato Ishii, a journalist who knows a lot about agricultural policy, visited Mr. Kinouchi, who is trying to recover from the earthquake while continuing to train young agriculture workers on the farm where he worked for many years, and Ms. Chiaki Ino, who was trained there and became independent, at the farm in Aso, Kumamoto. Here is what was discussed about the challenges facing Japanese agriculture and requests for The Norinchukin Bank. Hayato Chiaki Hitoshi Ishii Ino Kinouchi Editorial Board Member and Young Farmer Representative Director and Editorial Writer, Kyodo News Chairman, Kinouchi Farm (Special Talk) Fear of Going Against Nature Discovered Through the Earthquake Ishii: I heard that you suffered serious damage in last year’s Kumamoto earthquake. I’d like to express my sympathy. Kinouchi: The strawberry field which is the pillar of the operation was destroyed leaving only the frames of the greenhouses. After that, the ground collapsed completely due to the heavy rain in the rainy season, and we lost 70 or 80% of the field. Ishii: From the plane, I could clearly see that despite it being the time for planting out rice, there were fields not filled with water.

  • Cuba in Angola: an Old and Lucrative Business of the Castros
    August-September 2017 Cuba in Angola: an old and lucrative business of the Castros Recently it was reported that Angola had rejected the services of 189 Cuban medical “collaborators” (workers).1 It seems unusual within the framework of “fraternal ties”2 between the African country and Cuban for more than four decades. No cause has been given, but it can be surmised from Angola’s difficulties in keeping up with payments for the services. After the Cuban military intervention in Angola ended (1975-1991), the “collaboration” seems to have resurfaced in 2007, when 60 Cuban doctors (surgeons, pediatricians and other specialists) were sent to Angola.3 Cuba's export services to Angola then grew under successive agreements surrounding top-level exchanges, beginning with Angolan President José Eduardo dos Santos official visit to Cuba in September 2007. At the time, Angola, the second largest oil producer on the African continent, was reaping abundant oil revenues. Angola soon began to pay the financial price of falling Raúl Castro of Cuba and longtime president 4 of Angola, Jose Eduardo dos Santos. oil prices, yet the number of Cuban workers there (The News International.) grew significantly. In 2013, 47 water experts,5 219 educators6 and 800 Cuban doctors7 were reportedly working in Angola, and the Cuban medical teams were composed of a physician, statistician, and a nursing specialist providing assistance in 70 municipalities.8 In mid-2014, it was reported that 4,000 Cuban collaborators were in Angola ¾1,800 in health and 1,400 in education¾9 and that 1,779 Angolans were in Cuba studying for their university degrees, especially in medicine.10 (It is understood that the Angolan government pays Cuba for all these services.) In 2015, problems surfaced.
