I am going to see the band, Rage Against the Machine next year. They are coming to Japan!
The band broke up in 2000, but they reunited this year. One of my favorite bands are coming to Japan, and I cannot wait to see them!

My Response
The letter “Tired of getting stopped,” was written by Allan Mcintyre who is a black and lives in Nagoya, Japan. He says that he is really sick of getting stopped by police to show them his “gaijin card.”
The writer uses the authority to convince the audience. He is a foreigner who lives in Japan now, and has been stopped by police many times in Japan. He says “I've been stopped in front of Takashimaya about 13 times and have lived in Japan for only six months.” He talks about the issue through his experience.
The Takashimaya is a very big department store which is in the Nagoya station. In front of Takashimaya is “The best place to meet in Nagoya” as he says. The audience must find it embarrassing to be stopped by police in front of many people. At the same time, the audience would feel sorry for what he has been through.
The letter is convincible, because the writer uses the authority to persuade his audience. The writer is a foreigner who lives in Japan and has been stopped by police many times in front of many people. His audience must feel sorry for his embarrassing experience.

Terrorism In Japan
The article“Not so welcome to Japan any longer”, by Kevin Rafferty, is about the new scheme which started in Japan from November 20. The Justice Ministry decided to take fingerprints and photographs of every foreigner visits Japan.
The justice ministry says probability of this system makes mistakes is less than 0.1%. However, this new scheme would not prevent terrorism in Japan. Terrorists are not that stupid. Terrorists can get information about the new system easily from Internet or from newspapers. What would they do if a terrorist was a boy who does not have any criminal records? I bet they just let the boy enter Japan without any questions.
I do not think taking fingerprints and pictures from foreigners who visit Japan, although this new system introduced in Japan is so accurate. I suppose terrorists are gathering at somewhere right now and thinking countermeasures against this new system

Discriminations in Japan
Every one can be discriminated by someone. They discriminate you by the historical background or your race. They discriminate you just because you are in a minority. You cannot avoid being discriminated. The article, “Views from the Street” talks about minority groups which face the worst discrimination in Japan.
The Article “Views from the Street” discuss about which minority groups face the worst discrimination in Japan. The opinions vary. Some people say Chinese and Koreans faces the worst discrimination. Some say Black people do. Yuko Furusawa, 24 years old manager and Aki Yokota, 31 years old web designer say that Handicapped people face the worst discrimination. All of their opinions are true, because Chinese, Koreans, Black people and Handicapped people are all minority groups in Japan.
According to the letter “Ebb and flow of discrimination” which is the response to the article “Views from the Street”, discrimination in Japan depends on where you live. The writer lives in Nagasaki where American people face the worst discrimination. Nagasaki is the place has many historical events. Americans are discriminated by the historical background between America and Nagasaki, Japan. As I said first, historical backgrounds is a major cause of discrimination.
Japan is one of the most unsociable countries since long time ago; therefore most of non-Japanese people can be in minority groups easily. However, I think the situation is changing. I see a lot of people in Japan from all over the world. Discrimination in Japan is being diminished day by day.
