5th Essays: TV

I like watching TV. I want to know Japanese broadcasting and Japanese viewing time of the television. I research about it. The Japanese television has a lot of broadcasting station. For example, there are NHK, Fuji TV, TBS, TV Asahi, Nihon TV.
First, I introduce about Japanese broadcasting.

NHK is the Japanese only public broadcasting business campany. In 1925, it started as corporate judicial person Tokyo broadcasting station. And it started the Japanese first radio broadcast. NHK is obliged to be able to receive it in the whole country for public welfare.
Commercials undertaking for profit is forbidden, so NHK hasn't commercial message.
Fuji TV is a commercial television broadcasting station established Bunka broadcasting and Nippon broadcast in 1957. Fuji TV is collects popularity by a variety program. In 1997, this TV station built the new company building in Daiba, Minato-ku, Tokyo.
TBS is an abbreviated of Tokyo broadcasting. This TV station is one of the commercial broadcasting on typify of Japan, too. It is open with both television and radios, and it is said that the industry is the strongest in the network. In 1955, it started television transmission. It was renamed to a current company name in 1960.
TV Asahi started as Japanese educational television in 1957, and opened it in February, 1959. This broadcasting develop cooperation relations with the Asahi newspaper by the program pro-news such as news stations.
NihonTV station foundation it in 1952, and started the commercial broadcasting first television transmission in August, 1953. This TV station the Yomiuri newspaper and connection are deep. From 1995, it was the top of the television viewership consecutively for nine years. This TV stations offer an original program on the Internet and wrestle with audience expansion positively.

Next, I write about Japanese viewing time of the television. According to the statistic announced in France Cannes in 2005, it was average 5 hours 1 minute with a Japanese in a TV viewing time in first that they had a long time to watch television most in the world. The second country is 4 hours 46 minutes in U.S.A. There is less the world average than U.S.A. for 90 minutes. The last country was China and Swedish 2 hours 30 minutes. According to "the national time budget survey" that NHK. On Sunday for 5 hours in a Japanese TV viewing time more than 70's watch television to men and women more than 5 hours by the weekday. On the other had, they was less than 80% only after they compared it with before 5 years, and there was the radio that only the 20's man watched television to the person not to "watch it at all" 20%.

I think the television to have to be it in everyday life. I think that I will want to do work about television and mass communication in the future, so I want to know about TV more.

4th Essays "Community Life"

I think that it is very important that I am concerned with the community while I live. I examined a meaning of the community. The meaning was written as the group of people with the same feelings, a community, a social group, a family.

I was born in Kikuchi of Kumamoto. I think that Kikuchi-shi is a very livable town. Because, there is strong combine, and the people living in there are easy to get close very much. It is the town which Kikuchi-shi, Shichijyoumachi, Kyokushimura, Shisuimachi merge Kikuchi-shi on March 22, 2005, and was made. Kikuchi-shi is "a town of rural district culture full of rich water and green, light". There, there is a lot of nature coloring the four seasons such as a cherry tree, a cosmos, a firefly in each place other than Kikuchi ravine and Kikuchi hot spring.
In addition, there are many institutions in a tourist attraction, leisure showing the history and the tradition of Kikuchi clan and gathers many tourists from within the prefecture and the outside the prefecture.

Kikuchi-shi wrestles with various activities now. There is a thing called the "Mangetou" in the one of the actions. Set tens of thousands of candles which put up in a colored paper cup inward beside the "Nangetou" to a lot of citizen open spaces by the hand of the volunteer. It is a festival of fantastic fire to describe a painting above the ground in a light. From 2005, residents' association and a children's association, the business establishment participate, and the scene which enjoys the light of the candle in the center city area is seen, and activity opens.

In addition, Kikuchi-shi does the enforcement of the Kikuchi Ice campaign. It is the West Japan's greatest Dairy Belt, and Kikuchi-shi is the area where various farm products are produced including fruit. There is "ice of feelings" there much and carries out the campaign that I made use of them in and wrestles for charm creation of new Kikuchi-shi.

I think that Kikuchi-shi should be activated more from now on. And I want the town which is more livable than now to become it.
