NEWS MEDIA AND SOCIETY LINKS

English  Links
Some are general news, some deal with certain issues, but all of them will give you a different view of the world than Asahi, NHK, Fuji, Yomirui, Mainichi, etc.  Some are well organized, some are " メチャクチャ". We do not recommend any particular one, but look around and you will find something useful, I am sure.

Japan: Third World, Environment,  Peace, Health
World: Fair Trade,  Media, Labor, Globalization

Economic Justice
  オックスファム/Oxfam :オックスファムは、世界100ヶ国以上で貧困を克服しようとする人々を支援し、貧困を生み出す状況を変えるために活動する民間の国際協力団体です。長年 に渡る実績が評価され1992年と2005年 .
Oxfam believes that in a world rich in resources, poverty isn’t a fact of life but an injustice which must be overcome. We believe that everyone is entitled to a life of dignity and opportunity, and we work with poor communities, local partner organisations, volunteers and supporters to make this a reality. Oxfam’s goal is a world where every person is safe, healthy, secure, skilled, heard, and equal..


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

Gender Awareness, Poetry and songs….

Teaching Critical media
Some links may not work

The Radical Psychology Network
We challenge psychology's traditional focus on minor reform, because enhancing human welfare demands fundamental social change instead. Moreover, psychology itself has too often oppressed people rather than liberated them.

Alfie Kohn
The negatives of competition in the classroom

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.

Dechooling Society
Ivan Illich became well known in 1970, when he published Deschooling Society which argued that the top-down management of schools makes students powerless – and that the same top-down management is typical of the modern, technological economy that prevents people from learning. Tools for Conviviality made the same criticism of technology generally. Along with Energy and Equity, this book made Ivan Illich one of the most important theorists of the radical ecology movement of the 1970s.

Paul  Goodman
Paul Goodman became one of the most influential social critics of the 1960s after he published Growing Up Absurd, which looked at the problems of youth in the "organized system" of modern American society. He wrote on many subjects, criticizing the failings of our organized technological society, and making practical proposals to create a modern society on the human scale.

Radical Teaching
Honest teaching that respectfully helps us to unlearn the lies that support systematic oppression, including the lie of our own powerlessness.

Radical Teacher
a socialist, feminist, and anti-racist journal on the theory and practice of teaching
