I personally think that this family-centered view should shift more towards individualism, but we might have to compromise with conservatives while respecting their attachment to lineage to quickly adopt the optional surname system.

They could worry that an optional surname system might weaken this historical chain of surnames, thereby diminishing Japan's historical advantages in the end.

In Japan, one spouse—often the husband—takes over their family's surname and passes it on to their children. The political right might view this cycle as indispensable to sustaining and consolidating historical and traditional Japanese strength.

I don't fully understand their conservative views well enough to see what drives their strong resistance to the optional system, but it seems to stem from a tendency among conservatives to take lineage and bloodlines seriously.

More than half of Japanese people, including myself, want to switch this outdated system to an optional one where couples can choose to have either the same surname or different ones. However, this proposal faces strong opposition from conservative minorities.

Globally, it's quite rare, but Japan is one of the few countries that compels married couples to use the same surname.

On a 2D map, Canada and Russia appear to be far apart, but they are actually quite close on the globe. This proximity makes Canada vulnerable to Russian forces. Additionally, due to climate change, ice is melting in the Arctic, making it easier for Russian military ships to access Canada.

This story is about Canada strengthening its security in the North Atlantic region against the Russian threat.

I believe supporting the fight against Russia is on the right side of history, but we must not overlook the sacrifices of the local people.

While I wish for them to defeat Russia for the stability of a world order based on democratic and liberal political systems, I worry that such a wish might lead to taking their lives lightly.

Watch Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance | Netflix Official Site
Eleven months into the One Year War in U.C.0079, top Zaku II pilot Captain Solari faces the Earth Federation’s new lethal weapon: the mobile suit Gundam.
I recently found the phrase "You can say that again" in episode 2 of Gundam on Netflix, which I had learned from an English vocabulary-building book. This small discovery brought me joy. I think this is exactly why I'm learning English.

I must admit that there are some points to this argument; however, I can't help but admire the lawmakers and citizens in this country who gathered at the parliament and bravely showed their will to resist the president's decision.

The imposition of martial law by the Korean president seemed like an attempted coup. Some people say this incident reflects the immaturity of Korean democracy.
