Japan Association for Language Teaching:
Critical Media Literacy (Paul Arenson)


Wise Hat (Japan)
First, and perhaps foremost we support co-operative learning. The games and activities in these pages, and the material we sell are designed to be used non-competitively... We all still working things out, we are experimenting, but our aim is clear. We are going to initiate a giving economy...You can help create a giving economy too. Like ripples in water, giving can spread. If you use our products, if you like our ideas, send us some energy so we can keep on creating them. But send some energy elsewhere too. I'm not talking about faceless charity contributions but genuine giving. Give some energy to someone you meet or know. It can be money but it doesn't need to be. Give a gift, give time, give a little living.

And the fear will go.
And love will take it's place.

Environment/Whaling
An issue that demands clarification. The issue of whaling in the media is presented as one of culture or country vs. other.  But it  is not that simple. If the Japanese government cares about small coastal  whalers, why does it also promote giant factory whale fleets?  And why  does it not offer the same protection to Japanese rice against foreign imports?  If the U.S.  opposes whaling, as does Greenpeace (including Greenpeace Japan), why  does the U.S. oppose Greenpeace on almost every other environmental  issue?  And why does the world’s media treat Japanese whaling as if it  was more barbarous than the treatment by all countries of livestock? Why too does the Japanese media say it is a cultural issue when the  Scandinavian countries share almost the same culture yet have different  views on whaling?  And wasn’t the US also a whlaing nation until fairly recently, historically speaking? Here are two groups with essentially Japanese members.  Please send other links from all sides of the issue to us:  グリーン ピース ジャパン ;  イルカ＆クジラ・アクションネットワーク
