foreigners coming to a country?
☆Let’s Think
Do research on the following questions and discuss them with others.
1.
What is Anna’s point? Provide a
case in point.
2.

case in point.
3.
Do research on this topic.
Share your findings.
☆Hints for Points
1.
Introduce open immigration, or
free migration.
2.
Keep prices low. Long-lasting
deflation in Japan has caused recent increase of inbound tourists, although
deflation is bad for the people of the country.
3.
Make universities free. This
will attract young people from around the world.
4.
Promote the industry to produce
attractive commodities. Even 30 years ago, when the exchange rates of yen were
high, tourists came in to buy excellent Japanese electronic appliances.
5.
Promote tourism. Making the
country a good place to have a vacation in and advertising the sightseeing
spots will bring a constant flow of tourists.
☆Response for Ideas
and Expressions
There is a hypocrisy when a government wants to increase the number
of foreigners coming in, while it restricts the acceptance of refugees. It wants
people from rich countries who pay a lot of money but it doesn’t want people
from poor countries it regards as nothing but problems. However, due to climate
change caused by global warming, which is caused by economic activities of
developed countries, countless numbers of refugees are pouring out of the
affected poor countries. Developed countries have responsibility to support
refugees, not only for the obvious humanitarian reason. Therefore, if a
government wants the number of the inbound population, all it has to do is open
its immigration, which it has been supposed to do already. Also, immigrants will
actually benefit the country. The United States of America’s strength is its
diversity. Steve Jobs was a son of a Syrian immigrant. His inventions helped
America remain the richest country in human history. Michael Moore and Bernie
Sanders are both descendants of immigrants from Europe. These people have
started and boosted the current social change, which will help humankind to
survive in hardship we will face in this century. (195 words)
