We watched this video in my sociology class today. It was created by the japanese government back in march 2011 to educate children in japan about the earthquake and tsunami that hit northern japan. I thought it applied nicely to the whole idea of a changing world and globalization. It also incorporated the idea of conflict and responding to conflict. The japanese government also used their position as leaders to calm down the nation after a national tragedy. Lastly it brought in the idea of both closed and open systems. In short it had a lot of elements that reminded me of this class. Do you think this video was a good way or a bad way to calm people down? If you think this was a bad way to manage the situation how could the situation have been handled better?
