Have you ever been to take lecture at Millennium House??
All of Kanda student know about Millennium House, but most of them do not use there I think. Sometimes you can take lectures at Millennium House. For example, you can learn about AIDS, Islam, or some International problem. These information advertise around the university. You can see a lot of poster. If you find these poster, you should go Millennium House to increase your knowledge for your future.On November 9, one movie played. Did you see? That movie was about “Memories of Edward Said.” Edward Said was born in 1935. He was Palestine but he grew up in Egypt and he became critic of literature. He wrote famous book, “Orientalism.” On the other hand, he worked for peace between Palestine and Israel. He is very famous in Japan or America. He is a great person.
Precisely, do you know the problem of Palestine and Israel? It is very complicated. The conflict began to form around the beginning of the 20th century. Actually, I did not know about this problem. However, I am interested in world problem because these days, a lot of conflict occurred somewhere in the world. I have class about international peace. During that class, teacher said that Japan is safe so most people do not know about conflict and we think peace is usual, we should think that what is peace?? Before I take this class, I also did not know and I had thought that It is not relate to me, but now I start to think about peace.
After, I saw this movie, I think that it is very complicated and I cannot understand everything. I cannnot imagine their life even if I had seen a movie. Japanese may sumptuous. If we have some money, we can go everywhere I want, we can wear good clothes, we can eat everything I want… However, people who live in trouble spot do not know peace world and everyday is life-in-death problem. We are students of Kanda. We can learn not only language but also world history or international problem, so we should make use of these lecture or movie. Next time, let’s go to Millennium House with your friends.
