Début of my NGO

 Hello everyone, at last! The debut of my NGO has came.

I have been researching about religious discrimination for this semester and I am glad to announce that I have created my very own NGO which is called “United Soul Foundation” in other terms, “U.S.F.”

The main goals of U.S.F. are 

  1. To spread awareness
  2. To provide social support
According to the results of my survey, many people are aware of religious discrimination in Japan but are not concerned. I found this fact interesting and decided to base my NGO with that fact. 

To keep my NGO running, I will be carrying out fund raising charity events such as opening an art exhibition, have a film screening, and conduct charity auctions.
1)Art Exhibition
→ We will organize an art exhibition featuring works from artists of different religious backgrounds. This event can showcase diverse perspectives on faith, promoting understanding and acceptance, with the sale of artworks contributing to fundraising efforts.
2)Film Screening
→ We will organize screenings of films or documentaries that explore religious diversity ad discrimination issues. After the screening, we will hold discussions to further deepen the understanding of the audience and seek donations to support U.S.F.
3)Charity Auctions
→ We will host a charity auction and dinner event, where attendees can bid on unique experiences or items. We will also partner with local businesses and donors to contribute items for the auction.

U.S.F. Will be mainly functioning through social media such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc., The reason why we chose SNS as our platform is to make more youngsters aware about the urgency of the problem and to have a more accessible platform. 

U.S.F.’s mission statement is as follows:
"At U.S.F., we are dedicated to fostering a world of genuine harmony, respect, and understanding among people of diverse religious beliefs. Our mission is to combat religious discrimination and promote religious inclusivity through education, advocacy, and community engagement. We strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where individuals of all faiths can coexist, celebrate their diversity, and find common ground to address shared challenges. Together we envision a future where religious differences are not barriers but bridges that connect hearts and minds, fostering a more compassionate and unified global community."

“Fishy” Website

 Hello everyone, in this blog entry, I am going to talk about the “fishy” website that was assigned to me during my class.  The website is about Dehydrogen Monoxide  When I first accessed the site that was assigned to me, I genuinely thought that there is a toxic chemical called “Dehydrogen Monoxide” because of the difficult words the site was using and furthermore,  people who has no knowledge about science may easily believe.  What was the aim of the website?  I came to the conclusion that the website was trying to gain income through fundings from people who believe “Dehydrogen Monoxide” must be banned globally. The site contains false information about how toxic “Dehydrogen Monoxide” is and that it is used on most of the products that we use in a daily basis. But for people who has scientific knowledge, “Dehydrogen Monoxide” is simply water. So people who has no knowledge about the “chemical substance” they are terrified of what the substance would do t...
