The Death Penalty

 Japan should abolish the death penalty. There are many advantages.
・We can avoid the false charge.
 DNA analysis is the dominant witness to pass the death sentence. However, we can't say it's  totally accurate. In 1992, two girls were killed in Fukuoka. The crime suspect(容疑者) "K" insisted his innocence but he was killed. The court tried DNA analyses three times, and they found that  the criminal's blood didn't much with K's at once. It was too late because K had been already killed.  K's family asking the retrial still now. I don't know who is the killer, but if K didn't kill the two girls, it means that the court killed a innocent person. The crime is called 飯塚事件. It's true that DNA technology is getting better and better and it's almost accurate, but it is NOT perfect. Also, the judge is NOT also perfect. Everybody makes mistakes, so nobody have any right to pass the death sentence.

・We can remove the executioners and courts' stress.
 Death penalty is conducted by human who are caring for the prisoners everyday. According to Toshio Sakamoto-who was an executioner says that the death penalty makes them stress and many executioners become depression(鬱病), so Japan should abolish capital punishment.
I absolutely agree with him. The Constitution establish "Everybody has right to live health and culturally"

Today, death penalty is minority. Many countries abolished it,but their society is kept safe. A lot of Japanese people who agree with the death penalty say about the families of vicims' feeling, but laws are not revenge. We must think seriously about public welfare and solve the case without killing people.

Apples








Look at this picture. These are British apple. Aren't they smaller than Japanese apples? When I visited UK, I ate British apples and I thought it was totally different from Japanese. First, the sizes are smaller as you can find out on the picture. It's small enough to take bites out of a whole apple. Japanese apples are so big that we have better to cut them and share, but I don't like this style.
 The taste and texture are also different. I think Japanese apples are softer and sweeter that British ones. I do prefer the latter. I love crunchy and sour apples.
I really miss British apples;(

Autumn

 Autumn is one of my favourite seasons because we have a lot of delicious food.
 My most favourite one is autumn's fruits, especially pears. They are very juicy and sweet. I used to ask my mother to buy them. Now, I live alone, so I can't ask her but she often sends me some delisious pears to my home. Kumamoto has many good pears!

I'm going to visit Kyoto at bigining of the next month. I'm so sxcited to see beautiful landscape.
