Today was class, we had a nice time to listen to her speech. I didn't understand some words but I enjoyed it. And I am interested in Islam, because I don't know another religion, of course I know the name, but I didn't know how they pray every day or what rule they have in Islam.
To next class, answer these questions.
1. How do you greet people in your life? Is it different for different people? Why?
In the morning, I say ' Ohayou' to my family, friends and younger persons than me, but I meet teachers or older persons than me I say 'Ohayou gozai masu'. When I say goodbye to friend and younger than me, I say 'bye-bye, zyane, mata' . Then I meet teachers or older than me I say 'shitsurei shimasu' or 'sayonara'. 'shitsurei shimasu' was strange for me, but when I was a high school stuend, I must say 'shitsurei shimasu' for teachers, so I get into the way of the greeting. Yes, I say different greeting for different people.
2. Do you touch people whey you talk to them? Why? or Why not?
I touch people many times, becaues.... I don't know... but I maybe touch them to take a body communication. My family sometimes hug each other at the time of greeting. I don't care even I hug with my father or my brother. I just set my mind at rest. so I think I touch people to want to relax or communicate with body.

Class #2 What is CCC??
・Find 1 article that has to do with cross culture understading or differences (English and Japanese newspaper). And write why you think this is a cross culture situation.
We use 卍 for a mark of temple on a map, and some peolpe have a one of family emblem (家紋） in Japan, and Hinduism, Buddhism, and also Native American use it for a symbol of happy. But long time ago, this mark was a symbol of Nazi Germany. So some people think they don't use it anymore and permit using it. However, we had used it as a family emblem or crest before Nazi Germany have used it. If it is not allowed by them, a historied family emblem will be lost. I think it is difficult matter, but I know why some poeple said that they don't use it more. I think it is not only matter of symbol, so we should be care of using gesture or words in another country or for another country person.
