Blog #5: Debate about tourism (Yurina)

 Hello.This is Yurina Mori. I'm going to reflect about our debate. The topic is "Tourism helps people in tourist communities".
 First of all, I'm going to explain my role. We were divided into three groups, agree, disagree and the judge. My role was agree, so I told disagree team about good points of tourism. We discussed good and bad thing alternately and listened the opinion of another team. When I listened opposite opinion, I took notes to refute it. I said my opinion after I admit another side. I sometimes glanced at a paper of the time which made by the judge and I thought what I said next. Because there were two persons of my agree group, we showed our opinion each other to tell it smoothly.(108words)
 Secondly, I introduce the best point made by the disagree team. I think the best is problem of cheap labor. The opposing team said that because of increase of emigrant by tourism, cheap labor like Chinese also increase. That is to say, Japanese can't get a job easily. I think this is a big problem because finding a job is tending diffucult in Japan now. If the cheap labor will be  used many companies, young Japanese won't get a job and increase the unemployed. I think that more a lot of Japanese than forein people should be employed to revitalize economy in our country.(104words)
 At last, I explain what I learned from this experience. I felt agree team was a little difficult for me because I thought disagree team was easy to say a lot of kinds of opinions. But, I noticed that I could understand almost what opposing team say. I learned importance of thinking also another side's opinion from this debate. If I can know what the opponent think, I'm able to refute and admit the opinion easily. And I knew that it is important to listen to companion's opinion because I knew the problems which I didn't find out. So when I debate next time, I want to think two side's opinion and show our finding results as preparation.(118words)
