5/15 ARW Blogpost

We were out in Bakayama, discussing relevant questions on "Lies". We discussed about the cultural ban of hoodies, and the distinction between kids and adults. 

Although hoodies are associated with drug dealing in the US, I honestly have no idea why it was banned in a rural japanese public school. Our group came to a conclusion that it was impossible for American culture to spread to a rual part of Japan, and that there must be a missing link; a distinct cultural message that hoodies portray in that region.

Kids and adults. Is there a specific age which divides the two from each other? Our group did not think so. First off there are things which you are never old enough for. Killing a person is one of those. Going to the army, where you would or could kill is not something age can determine. We did reach a conclusion, that people should have the right to vote at the age of joining the army. Secondly, people age in different paces. Age should not be the direct reason to determine such laws. Laws should be specific to one another.
