On Saturday, I had a basketball match between SWISH and a team named KYONYU. The team is improvised by my friends from my junior high school youth. I wanted to have more practice matches against a lot of teams and I asked my friends to shoot some hoop with us. They are from Osaka Economic and Legal University, and Otemon University, and so on.
Girls in SWISH had a match against a team which is consisted f several girls from Otemon University, and one of them is my friend's friend.
All of opponents belong to basketball club, not circle. That means they practice basletball almost everyday, so they were really good at playing basketball.
The result was about 40-70, we lost.
Girls lost at the score about 29-31.
Though we lost, it was a great experience for us.
Also, as most of opponents were my friends, I was really happy to see them again. And I felt like going back to junior high school days, like we were again in the same team.

About the article "Alone at a time of danger"
This is about how the author is trying to persuade readers in the article “Alone at a time of danger.” He starts his opinion by explaining one example that really struck him. He suggests that one man who was interviewed did nothing while the crime was happening. he used one of the real stories of the fact that people feel troublesome or indifferent to helping others. According to the article, “he didn't go investigate, he didn't even call the police, and he did nothing.” It is obvious that the man did nothing by knowing his behaviors in de tail. This example is detailed because the author said this problem really struck him and happened in Kawaguchi City, Saitama. Emotional appeal was used in this first paragraph.
He again raised another fact that shows how troublesome people feel about helping other people. Though there are no clear details about the situation where people witnessed the victim being dragged away, there is a statement “all the passengers looked on”, and this statement proves how obvious people are reluctant to help people in danger.
These 2 will be the authority, and he suggests his own solution to make us understand the fact seriously.

The response to the article about the new law in Japan
Regarding the article about Japanese new system of reinforcing country’s security “Not so welcome to Japan any longer”, Kevin Rafferty suggests that the new law of immigration is a failure that Japanese government has committed, and this law would give foreign countries a bad impression toward Japan. However, the reinforcing of security should be put priority rather than considering the views of other countries, because there are more and more terrorists invading into a country and cause some dangers in the modern society all over the world, and it is getting a seruious problem, like in U.K., U.S., to say nothing of Japan.
What is the first priority is to take measures to enhance the system of protecting a country, and consider the countermeasures against possible dangers like terrorism. It does not mean this system of new law is discriminating against people who would be examined; just a precise countermeasure.

The response to the letter about discrimination in Japan
Racial discrimination is seen everywhere in Japan from old days of Japanese society, though it varies what groups are discriminated against depending on the customs and histories in each region.
As for the article “Ebb and flow of discrimination” written by Mike Dewood, he suggests that it is sure that the discrimination is seen in Japan, but it depends where we live. Also, he tries to persuade us by explaining his own experiences in Nagasaki; how he was treated by 0thers, or Japanese people, in Nagasaki.
However, there are no specific details about his article. The article says “I have had kids throw rocks at me, two seniors spit in my face, and a note left in my mailbox that read ‘foreigner go home.’” It seems like a absolute discrimination, but he does not explain the details of these happenings; when and where, and why in what situation. It is not persuasive enough for us to believe that they are true through just reading this article. I have never heard that such discrimination happens here in Japan. When did he go through these painful discriminations by Japanese people? I do not think that those direct and brutal discriminations are so common in modern Japanese society, though some kinds of them still exist to some extent. Also, the article says “it (discrimination) is quite prevalent over here” at the last sentence of this article. However, is it true? If so, how can this writer prove that? I have never heard that.
