'Good' and 'Bad' Websites

 We will introduce you descriptions of good and bad websites on our topic and why we found them so.


________________________


【Good sites】


　In order to make our blog reliable, we will use sources that we suppose give us accurate information. First for example, we will use oofficial papers published by Universities. They are often written based on information such as from academic books, that's why we judged them to be trustworthy. And of course, they have author names and references at the end.  

 The second, official News sites provided by News paper companies likely to be reliable. To increase reliability of the cotent, we will try to refer to national news papers more than local ones.

 The third, we use a lot sites published by lawyers. If you are suspicious whether the lawyer really excist or not, you can search the name of him/her on this site.　(https://www.nichibenren.or.jp/search.html 日本弁護士連合会, 弁護士検索）

　All lawyers in Japan are registered on this site made by Japan Federation of Bar Association, and if lawyer's name doesn't come out after searching here, he/she doesn't exsist. 


 

【Bad sites】


 We sometimes use Social Media applications such as Twitter and facebook in order to serch opinions and feelings of people. Not all of them are reliable, because people write everything they want anonymously. We will read those posts carefully and consider whether they are appropriate to write on our blog.

 In addition, we won't use internet forums to collect information. There may be correct information, though we thought it's better not to use it because most of them are anonymous posts that can not be easily verified.

Q. How does noise affect people's health? (Noise especially from schools)

Q. How does noise affect people's health? How can excessive noise from children impact the mental and physical health of individuals in the community? Are there any specific health risks associated with prolonged exposure to noise caused by children? A. Noise can have a significant impact on people's health, especially when it comes to excessive noise from children within a community.       Decibels, the unit used to measure noise levels, play a crucial role in understanding these effects. For instance, a normal conversation typically ranges from 60 to 70 decibels, but sustained exposure to noise levels of 80-90 decibels can lead to hearing loss.       Research specifically focused on children's noise in schools reveals interesting findings. The Japanese Ministry of Education suggests that classroom noise levels should be below 50 decibels with windows closed and below 55 decibels with windows open. Although a difference of 5 decibels may seem ins...

Q. How many people complain about the noise children make?

  Q1. How many people complain about the noise children make?   A1. 　I would like to summarize the results of a survey conducted by a nursery school to find out how many people actually consider children to be noisy. The survey was open from November 5 to November 30, 2014; and 720 people responded to it. 　According to the result of a survey, about 43% of all (315 people) answered that they have felt that children's noises are noise. Although the numbers are not extremely high, it is clear that a certain number of people still feel that children's voices are noisy. In addition, the survey was conducted online, and some people found and responded to the survey as a result of a search, which may be more biased than actual public opinion. 　The fact that such a survey was conducted shows that there is at least a high level of interest in this issue in Japan. _________________________   Q2. How can you talk to the parents of children who make noise?   A2. I would like to...

Reflections on Final Presentation (Rina)

On July 20, our team presented NeighConnect, the NGO we created, and received valuable feedback from our classmates. As the one responsible for laying the foundation of our NGO and writing the blog entry, I wanted to reflect on the feedback, particularly regarding the content. One of the feedback points highlighted the idea of connecting activities online. However, our organization's primary focus is on providing in-person experiences within the flats and the community. While we acknowledge the potential of online activities, we believe that the essence of NeighConnect lies in fostering face-to-face interactions to bridge generational gaps effectively. If we were to explore online activities, it would likely be in the form of seminars to promote our organization's mission and initiatives. Another feedback suggested narrowing down the activities. Although we didn't elaborate on this during the presentation, each activity we planned had a specific target audience to bring dif...
