対人能力ゼロのナンパ６
468 ：('∀`)：
When I return from Sweden every summer, I am surprised at the wealth of Japan.
This feeling grows stronger every year.
Nearly all tourists from abroad get the impression that Japan is a rich country when they see the airport, the expressway and the streets of Tokyo, but I get this impression from the young people of Japan.
In the first place their clothes are different.
They wear jeans without holes in the knees, T-shirts which have not become shabby from too much washing, sneakers which are not worn-out.
Instead, both boys and girls look neat and clean.
Not (only) that, they wear accessories of great value.
Their handbags and watches appear to be no less expensive than those of adults.
In Japan there is certainly a market for young people.
It is not limited to clothing only.
It applies also to leisure activities.
One might go so (far) as to say that even the universities are markets for young people.
What country in the West is able to do business having only young people as customers?
In these countries young people have less money than anyone.
Those who have gone to university and those who are working can barely make (ends) meet.
At the age of 18, they live apart from their parents, even though it may be in the same town, and stand on their own (feet) financially.
To them such things as skiing in the Alps and fashionable clothes are entirely foreign.
Those that have side jobs are lucky ones, for most young people are (out) of work.
In Britain, France, Italy, Sweden and many other countries, I saw young people full of discontent.
There are no smiles on their faces.
I wonder what would happen if parents were to stop giving money to the young people of Japan.
Evaluations revealed by implicit and explicit measures may have nothing in common, in which case they assess exclusive constructs and one (implicit measures) might even not be considered an attitude measure.
At the opposite extreme, implicit and explicit attitude measures might assess a single construct despite their procedural differences.
All differences between measures, in that case, would be attributable to extraneous influences that are irrelevant to attitudes.
An intermediate possibility is that implicit and explicit measures assess constructs that are related but distinct.
Specifically, implicit and explicit measures might have something in common justifying their shared interpretation as attitude assessments, and something unique justifying the implicit-explicit distinction.
This possibility would spur theorists to account for common and distinct influences on implicit and explicit attitude formation and change and for reciprocal influences of implicit and explicit attitude on each other.
Anyway, long catfight short, I am now on a train to Tokyo alone and they are all coming later.
I just couldn't be there anymore and it really does me no good to fight with or even talk to Samia.
She doesn't listen and it just hurts Rachel. And what could Rachel do? She REALLY wanted to leave early, but what do you say to someone who is like, "you absolutely CANNOT leave me alone. That's not fair."
And then she has the unmitigated gall to say, "I'm not being inflexible. This is what we decided."
I kind of hate her now. If I can get Rachel to do stuff with me in Tokyo, I will.
Otherwise, I'll probably go off on my own.
With the present troubles in the Balkans and a certain major European Power rapidly outbuilding our Navy, the Admiralty might be forgiven if it started that it had rather more urgent affairs to deal with than Master Brown's little troubles.
A further enquiry before the Judge Advocate of the Fleet has now fully comfirmed the original findings that the boy was guilty.
I sincerely trust that this will finally end this ridiculous and sordid little storm in a teacup.
I am, Sir, etc., Perplexed
