Nipponjin Ha "Yameru Renshu" Ga Taritenai (Shueisha Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] In June 2008, the tweet "Many people do not practice quitting enough" was retweeted tens of thousands of times and became a hot topic. The response highlighted the fact that "there are many people in Japan who are suffering because they cannot quit. Bullying, suicide, harassment... These problems in Japan are aggravated by the fact that "there is no way to stop" and "there is no escape. On the other hand, in Malaysia, where the author of this tweet lives, there are many people who "quit immediately if they don't like their job or school," and the society is still running. In this "loose" country, full of diversity and tolerant, with few angry people, an increasing number of people from Japan are now emigrating and studying abroad. This article introduces the Malaysian way of thinking, the surprising education system, and other aspects of a different world from that of Japan.

二〇一八年六月、「多くのひとは辞める練習が足りてない」というツイートが数万回もリツイートされ話題になった。その反響が浮き彫りにしたのは「日本にはやめられなくて苦しんでいる人がたくさんいる」ということ。いじめ、自殺、ハラスメント...日本のこれらの問題は「やめられない」「逃げ場がない」ことが深刻化の原因だ。一方、このツイートをした著者の住むマレーシアは「仕事や学校が嫌ならすぐやめる」人も多く、それでも社会は回っている。多様性にあふれ、怒る人が少ない寛容な“ゆるい”国に今、日本から移住・留学する人が増えている。マレーシア人の考え方、驚きの教育制度など、日本とは別の世界を紹介する。
