Optimistic Develpment
Apr 14th 2011 19:17
Since I started to learn English, I haven't predicted how good I would be. This is partly because my perception for the English language is unknown and partly because ways and means to learn it are so diverse. Even though I'm in the circumstance, I could plan some strategies. But the result is only evaluated by so-called standardised tests and I won't be deceived.
Likewise, thinking of Fukushima nuclear plant is interesting. The planner must be wiser than me. Also, they had planed very carefully to think of the effects of nuclear substance and they must have calculated how long the plant can be sustained. There is a start and there is an end.
Now, the unprecedented earthquake happened. I do not know the earthquake was just out of our imagination, but the effects of nuclear substance must not be calculated tentatively. Also, the level on the international nuclear event scale shouldn't be changed.
Some years ago, I have heard of the term "sustainable development." When I heard of it, I thought "it's a nice idea. why not people follow it?" But I haven't still got it and the definition seems to be vague. I won't say it's a very optimistic notion, but I feel there is the same trait of something.
A couple of days ago, I read a book about China. The author is a Japanese journalist and it may have some incorrect facts. But I can clearly see how the notion effected on the people. Along with it, the book also remembered me of the past ideology opposition to had increased the number of nuclear weapons.
Again, the idea of sustainable development is good. However, I don't think that you can deny that the idea is based upon how your offsprings and grandsons are wise enough to graduate from top schools and find some solutions for unsolved problems such as uncollected debris around the earth. Then, I wonder, don't we think of how much wise we actually are?

Since I started learning English, I haven't really thought about how good I would become.
This is partly because I may have a low perception of my understanding of the English language and partly because ways and means to learn it are so diverse.
With this in mind, I could probably plan some strategies.
But the result is only evaluated by so-called standardised tests so I could be misled (by the results).
To illustrate my point, consider the Fukushima nuclear plant for a moment.
The designer would have been be wiser than me.
Also, It would be reasonable to think that they would have planned very carefully to take into account the effects of nuclear substances and they must have calculated how long the plant could be sustained.
There is a beginning and there is an end to everything. We have a tendancy to concentrate on the beginning, but we do not always thing about the final outcome as clearly as we should.
Now, an unprecedented earthquake has happened.
I do not know whether the designer of the plant considered the effect of such a major earthquake, but the effects of the resulting nuclear leakages must not be underestimated.
Some years ago, I have heard of the term "sustainable development." At that time, I thought that it was a nice idea and
hoped people would follow it?" But I still haven't completely understood the principle and the definition seems to be vague.
I won't say it's a very optimistic notion, but I feel that it could be a double-edged sword..
The author is a Japanese journalist and it may contain some inaccuracies.
But I can clearly see how the notion had an effect on the people.
Along with it, the book also reminded me of the past ideological opposition to the increased in the number of nuclear weapons.
However, I don't think that we can deny that the idea is based upon the assertion that our offspring and grandchildren will be wise enough to graduate from top schools and find some solutions for the unsolved problems that we have created, such as uncollected debris around the earth.
So, I wonder. Do we actually know how much wise we really are?
I hope the changes are OK based on the chat we had at the time I was making them.
However, English ability is only evaluated by standardized tests.
Considering the Fukushima nuclear plant is interesting.
The planner must haven been smarter than me.
Also, they must have planned very carefully considering the effects of radiation and durability of the plant..
However, I don't think that we should rely on future generations to be wise enough to graduate from top schools and find some solutions for our unsolved problems such as waste/pollution around the earth.
