“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 to them making them fund the site to spread awareness.

Results of my survey

 Hello everyone! In this post, I will be analyzing the results of the survey I conducted. In my survey, I had 11 questions regarding if they belong to a religious group and their other experiences with religious discrimination. I had 10 responses and the results was what I thought it would be.  The pictures below are the results of my survey.   In one of my questions, which is “If you think religious is a factor of conflict, why do you think so?”, there were interesting responses. Such as Religion is diverse and everyone has different opinions about certain religion, and it cannot be bend. Middle East countries has wars because of religion In conclusion, the responses to my survey was what I expected it to be. I think the reason for this is because Japan is generally not a religious country compared to other countries resulting to near to no conflict because of religious discrimination.  This blog was written by: Yuka Koshizuka  Aoyamagakuin University Departmen...

3 perspectives about religious discrimination

 Hello everyone; in this blog, I will write about 3 perspectives on religious discrimination.  The first is Aunt Suzy, who lives in a very conservative part of The United States. The second one will be about Mr. Takahashi, that lives in Japan, where religion is not much of an issue. The last perspective will be about Pastor Christine Lee from Scarborough Chinese Baptist Church.  【Aunt Suzy】        As I walked up the driveway, I saw my dear niece approaching. I greeted them with a warm smile, inviting them into my home. I was well aware that I lived in a conservative part of the United States and that my views on religion were often narrow. My faith in Christianity had always been a cornerstone of my life, providing comfort and guidance.         Sitting in my living room, surrounded by symbols of my faith, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and security. My niece, from a different religious background, sat opposite me, an...
