Abstract

The rise of Japan after the defeat in World War II became the center of world admiration, including us in Indonesia. Human resources development through education has become the main key to the success of Japan. This certainly can be a reference for us in formulating human resources development policies in the future. We often feel amazed at the seriousness of the Japanese government in dealing with education problems. However, we also tend to ignore various facts related to it. For example, after the defeat of the war, Japanese academics and bureaucrats immediately conducted introspection and research to find out the cause of the defeat. From the results of this research, it was concluded that there were fatal errors in education policies and philosophies so far; departing from this understanding, a significant revision of the education law was immediately carried out. In other words, the Japanese government not only pays attention to education but they also completely overhaul educational policies. Japan lost the war against the United States. Consequently, for the following 7 years, 1945-1952, Japan was occupied by the United States of America, who had ordered Japan to change all policies, including educational policies. In this paper, we will look at what changes in the philosophical foundation and policy changes, as well as how the discussion process until the formulation and enactment of several new education laws, and what criticisms and expectations are implied in the education law.

Abstract

As more and more religious content appears in anime, the actual meaning of its use in anime may be different. This phenomenon is known as religious cosmetics introduced by Jolyon Baraka Thomas. Religious cosmetics introduces the term religious vocabulary and religious imagery. This study focuses on analyzing religious vocabulary, and aims to prove whether the Shinto religious vocabularies that appears in the anime Enen no Shouboutai season 1 (2019) are religious cosmetics. The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive. The use of words in the anime Enen no Shouboutaiseason 1 will be compared with the meaning of the vocabulary from the Shinto religious dictionary compiled by Brian Bocking. The results showed that there are eighteen data of religious vocabularies that appear in anime Enen no Shouboutai season 1, which can be divided into five categories, namely (1) ‘amaterasu’, (2) ‘kami’, (3) ‘matsuri’, (4) ‘oni’, and (5) ‘sake’. However, among those five categories appeared throughout the series, four were found as Shinto religious vocabularies which used as religious cosmetics while one category (3) ‘matsuri’ was not used as religious cosmetics. The reason is because the meaning and the use of the word is getting wider, not only used in Shinto related topics, but also in daily life generally.

Abstract

This research focuses on the changing of image on Islam in Japan and the efforts of Japan’s civil society to eradicate Islam’s negative image created by Japan’s mass media. In preparation for the coming 2020 Olympic Games, the government, the local NGO, and even individual are taking initiatives to create a Muslim-friendly atmosphere. We try to look into their efforts to disseminate information, as well as to counter demagogues about Islam and Muslim. We have conducted in-depth interviews with 10 Muslims residing in Japan added with 2 respondents taken from book, and compared their stories with Japanese articles, books, and academic journals. Our conclusion is that despite the success in making Japanese society more amicable to foreign Muslims, the human relations problems within the Muslim community must take prioritize to improve the response of Japanese society.[Tulisan ini fokus pada perubahan citra Islam di Jepang dan usaha lembaga swadaya masyarakat (NGO) untuk mengurangi citra negatif Islam yang dibentuk oleh media massa Jepang. Menjelang pekan olahraga Olimpiade 2020, pemerintah, NGO lokal dan sebagian individu mengambil inisiatif menciptakan suasana yang ramah bagi muslim. Kami mengamati usaha mereka dalam merespon informasi yang menyudutkan agama Islam dan pemeluknya. Kami melakukan wawancara mendalam dengan 10 penduduk muslim di Jepang serta 2 informan literer. Kemudian kami membandingkan cerita mereka dengan berita, jurnal dan buku yang terbit di Jepang yang terkait dengan Islam. Meskipun mereka cukup berhasil meyakinkan masyarakat Jepang, tetapi persoalan hubungan antar sesama kelompok muslim perlu menjadi prioritas dalam rangka meningkatkan respon positif masyarakat Jepang.]

Abstract

Suicide cases are still a big challenge for Japan, even though in the 21st century, the government began to pay attention to and follow up on this phenomenon. While Japan's suicide rate among adults is declining, the rate in minors increased, and suicide is the highest cause of death for those under 20. This research reveals the problems and factors around suicidal teens in Japan through twelve characters' stories in 12 Suicidal Teens Film. To understand this film, what meaning that brought to discussion requires interpretation. Paul Ricoeur said that text or work is a dialogue to reveal the dimensions of reality in the phenomenological approach. The suicide motives expressed by 12 teenagers in the film 12 Suicidal Teens could be common. However, there are several factors such as religion, culture, social, even economic trends that could influence teenagers to commit suicide. The result shows that the social changes in Japan put pressure not only on adults but also on the lives of the youth. Also, information that is increasingly easy to obtain by anyone can become a boomerang for society because people can learn from what this information says.

Abstract

This article discussed the persistence of ethnic conflicts around the world, evolving from post-World War II national disputes to internal conflicts driven by ethnic and intergroup tensions. These problems impeded democratization and remained crucial to the development of societies and national identities. Ethnic violence was an example of political violence rooted in ethnic hatred. Countries such as the United States, with its racially and ethnically diverse population, faced significant challenges of ethnic discrimination against Japanese immigrants. Japanese immigration to the United States, especially in California, which began in the mid-1880s, was driven by labor shortages following the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and later by economic difficulties in Japan. United States immigration policies, especially the Acts of 1917 and 1924, imposed restrictions on Asian immigrants, which impacted Japanese immigration. This study, using qualitative research with a descriptive overview through the densho.org portal, aimed to analyze Japanese ethnic violence in California. Racism and economic competition fueled anti-Japanese violence. Anti-Japanese sentiment increased, especially after the attack on Pearl Harbor, which led to the mass internment of Japan-American.

Abstract

Dengan adanya sistem patriarki yang kuat di Jepang, wanita kerap kali mengalami berbagai diskriminasi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, salah satu contohnya adalah dengan mewajibkan wanita menggunakan sepatu berhak tinggi saat bekerja. Peraturan tersebut kemudian membangkitkan berbagai protes dengan adanya kampanye #KuToo yang menentang kewajiban wanita dalam menggunakan sepatu berhak tinggi dalam lingkungan pekerjaan. Penelitian ini terutama akan menggunakan konsep ekonomi dan gender oleh Swedberg dan merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan data penelitian literatur yang sebelumnya dan data kepustakaan yang meneliti mengenai masalah gender. Sumber datanya berupa data primer dari halaman petisi #KuToo dan media sosial kampanye #KuToo yang berfokus pada pendapat dan kesaksian wanita dalam kebijakan perusahaan yang mewajibkan penggunaan sepatu berhak tinggi. Penelitian ini membahas mengenai penggunaan sepatu berhak tinggi yang mempengaruhi produktivitas pekerja wanita dan membahas peranan kampanye #KuToo di tengah masyarakat Jepang. Dalam masyarakat dengan struktur sosial yang masih kaku seperti Jepang, adanya perlawanan tanpa kekerasan secara repetitif akan lebih efektif dilakukan.

Abstract

Abstract This article reviews the long amateur era of Japanese football which was heavily influenced by the concept of Shokuba Supotsu (workplace sport/職場スポーツ). The amateur era of Japanese football arguably began in 1921, as marked by the birth of the Emperor's Cup tournament. Later, there was also Japan Soccer League (日本サッカーリーグ, Nihon Sakkā Rīgu/JSL), an amateur competition held from 1965 to 1992. At first, the Emperor's Cup was dominated by teams from educational institutions. Then started to change from 1963, with the presence of corporate clubs in the Emperor's Cup. Since then, corporate clubs have begun to dominate Japanese football competitions. However, these corporate clubs are run amateurishly because they do not apply aspects of professional football. Players (who are also employees of their team's corporation) must divide their time between working for their company and playing in football competitions. So corporate players do not focus on carrying out their activities as footballers. The Japanese football amateur era stopped in 1992 when the JSL competition changed to J. League in 1993. Only professional clubs could participate in J. League, so amateur corporate football clubs didn’t have a reason to exist anymore since they should transform into professional clubs. This paper uses a literature study method from previous studies with similar themes. Before becoming an Asian football powerhouse like today, Japanese football had difficulty to develop because football was run in an amateur way.
