It was February 3rd that Chairman Mori of the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games made a problem statement at the meeting of the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC). He said, "A board with a lot of women takes time." Mr. Mori apologized on the 4th of the next day that he deeply regrets with inappropriate expressions. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) issued a statement after Mr. Mori's apology press conference, "I think this issue has been settled." But five days later, on the night of February 9, the IOC will change its attitude. The IOC will bring up the Olympic Charter. The Olympic Charter has an ideal of "without being discriminated against by race, skin color, or gender, of any kind ...". In the light of this charter, I criticize Mr. Mori's remarks on women's disdain. Chairman Bach and other IOCs seem to have complained to Mr. Mori that "the sponsors have strong opposition." If sponsors go down, the IOC will be in financial crisis. Companies have legalized funding by supporting the principles of the Olympic Games. Admitting women's disdainful remarks damages the image of the company.
The movement of the media around the world will also blame Mr. Mori at once. The American television station NBC has also broadcast an opinion urging Mr. Mori to resign. Toyota Motor Corporation, the top sponsor of the IOC and others, announced on the 10th that it was "seriously regrettable." On the 11th, the Washington Post reported that it had decided to resign due to public opposition due to women's disdain. In the wake of Mr. Mori's remarks, there was also a foreign media commenting that "a debate over the gender gap occurred, which is rare in Japan." In some cases, it was reported that Japan was ranked 121st out of 153 countries in the index showing the degree of gender equality in each country in the world. The New York Times says, "It will be a small victory for women's rights." We will move toward correcting the human rights consciousness hidden in Mr. Mori's rant and the indications made by foreign journalists. On the other hand, it has long been pointed out that many foreign correspondents who come to Japan have little background in Japanese culture. Therefore, I propose improvement measures that are different from Western-style individualism, egalitarianism, contract, and rationalism.
The IOC's largest sponsor will be the US NBC. The television station is said to have prompted Mr. Mori to resign. The reason is that if the Olympic Games are run under the chairman who disregards women, the broadcasting value of the Olympic Games will decrease. NBC was afraid of being denounced by the world for helping the women's disdain tournament. NBC in the United States pays about 50% of its Olympic broadcasting rights and about 40% of its total IOC revenue. This TV station provides the IOC with a $ 12 billion (about 1.3 trillion yen) broadcasting rights acquisition fee. The IOC was also an organization that could not be held ignoring the intention of this television. There is a reason why the Olympic Games are held in midsummer. In the United States, the four major professional sports of basketball and baseball are held in a fixed season. The off-season of these four major sports is midsummer. If they compete in the midsummer season, the athletes will be exhausted. In the American sports world, care is taken not to overwhelm important professional athletes in midsummer. To put it the other way around, we are forcing Olympic athletes from each country to compete in midsummer. In addition, they are also conducting an outrage to rearrange the Olympic Games time to the American Golden Time. Figures and snowboards, which are the flowers of the Winter Olympics, are popular events in the United States. For this golden time, the figure skating event was scheduled for a day-night reversal. For many years, the NBC has used methods that criticize women's disdain and constrain the human rights of athletes. It can be said that it has created unreasonableness that cannot compete during the time when athletes can perform at their best.
Europe is beginning to accept fair trade. On this extension, there are issues of child labor and discrimination against women. The competition schedules that force participants to participate are projected in a way that is similar to what they do to workers in developing countries. Of course, the issue of racial discrimination is also pointed out. The view on the IOC is getting stricter. It is becoming increasingly clear that TV stations are valuing money at the expense of their players. There are definitely some people who feel uncomfortable about making athletes play unreasonable competitions. The gap between the IOC's philosophy and reality is becoming unobtrusive. It seems that the spirit of fair trade in Europe and the United States is revealing this divergence. However, some people feel uncomfortable with the European fair trade itself. The reporting attitudes of foreign correspondents and the contradictory attitudes of American television stations seem to be deeply rooted in Western societies.
Migration from a poor country to a rich country is an ancient principle of migration. Syrian refugees, who are now a big problem, are not wealthy. They have emigrated to various European countries. In it, Switzerland is brilliantly repelling the principle of migration from poverty to wealth. If you buy a hamburger in Switzerland, you will be charged 1000 yen for one 300 yen burger in Japan. Syrian people are withdrawing because of too high prices. In Germany and England, they have a decent life. However, there is discrimination that cannot be seen in that life. At times, aspects that differ from the principles of freedom and equality can spurt out. Such a scene can also be seen in the United States. There is a wealthy village called Atherton, in California. Atherton is said to be the wealthiest village in the United States. After the civil rights movement, anyone could buy land. This Atherton is also in the form that anyone can buy land if they follow the rules. But Asians and the best people in Kara never lived in the village of Atherton. In essence, there were rules that only white rich people could follow. The rules of the village were a mechanism to neutralize the cause of civil rights.
It is not constructive even if I only criticize other countries. This is a proposal for a mechanism that does not despise Japanese women. When it comes to producing better behavior, you have to think from two aspects: mental support and execution. For Japanese women, they have a far greater advantage over the West when it comes to spiritual pillars. The representative of this pillar is religion. Yahweh is the only god in the Old Testament and New Testament. This god is the god of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In addition, the main god of Greek mythology is Zeus, and the main god of Norse mythology is Odin. These gods are all men. The male god reigns over the spiritual pillars of Western society. The main god of Japan is a woman. There are 100,000 shrines in Japan, and Amaterasu Omikami is located at the top of this shrine. Amaterasu Omikami is said to be the general god of the people. The very existence of the shrine embodies the spiritual pillars of the Japanese people. Japan has walked its history with the support of the female god. With this support, Japan has the third largest economic power in the world. Even if it is seen as a woman's disdain from foreign countries, there is a foundation for women's dominance inside. Former Prime Minister Mori also said that her wife said, "I was told to quit, so I decided to quit." It may be a clear indication of the power of women.
Even if you only state the idea, the way to realize it will be far away. It is necessary to create an environment where women can maximize their ability to execute. Women can "feel in the right brain and think in the left brain" more than dozens of times more than men. If women's social advancement is accelerated, they will be able to utilize their empathic ability and ability to detect change. Creating a team of women with complex cranial nerve circuits can create a large number of problem-solving ideas. Women's development teams have the potential to consider comprehensive decisions at a higher level. Modern civilization has accelerated the progress of civilization by adding the experience, knowledge and curiosity of men. But whether it's marine pollution, air pollution, or global warming, we haven't found a solution to the problem. It may be natural to entrust women with the hopes of future civilization. To that end, it seems that the time has come for Japan to introduce a quota system and prepare a place where women can exert their strengths. I hope that this disdain for women will be an opportunity to adopt these systems as soon as possible.
