学生時代に受けた奨学金の返還に行き詰まる例が相次いでいる。国内最大の奨学金貸与機関、独立行政法人・日本学生支援機構が返還を求めて全国の裁判所に起こした訴訟は、過去5年間で9倍近くに急増した。背景に、就職の失敗や就職先の倒産で生活に困窮する若年層の姿が浮かぶ。
「最初に就職した会社がつぶれなければ、こんなことにはならなかった」。昨年夏、機構から奨学金の一括返済を求める訴訟を起こされた北九州市小倉北区の男性(28)は悔しがった。

前にも書いたけど、ケチ臭いこといわないで、未来の日本を背負う人材育成のために、奨学金はあげちゃいなさいよ。
出世して収入が安定したら、そのときは寄付してもらえばいいじゃないの。

甘口ワインで知られる旧ソ連のグルジアが、国名表記を英語読みの「ジョージア(Georgia)」に変えるよう日本に要請している。きっかけは08年のロシアとの軍事衝突。語源は同じキリスト教の聖人とされるが「グルジア」はロシア語の読み方。「敵の言葉で呼ばれたくない」というわけだ。
東京のグルジア大使館によると、世界の9割の国が「ジョージア」と呼んでいるという。日本や中国は今もグルジアだが、韓国は昨年3月、要請を受けて「ジョージア」に変更した。韓国政府は日本海を「東海」に呼称変更するよう国際世論に訴えており、グルジアの国名改称に応じたのは、このための戦術の一環との観測もある。
ちなみにグルジア語の正式国名は「サカルトベロ」。グルジアもそこまでは求めていないというが、日本では国名表記の変更には法改正が必要とあって、外務省は頭を悩ませている。
http://mainichi.jp/select/opinion/yuraku/news/20120218k0000e070158000c.html
名称で日本と争う部分は無いので、呼称変更に問題ないのでは?
つーか、とっとと変えなさいよ。

The Dukes of Hazzard 1979 – 1985 Opening and Closing Theme
The Dukes of Hazzard is an American television series that aired on the CBS television network from 1979 to 1985. The series was inspired by the 1975 film Moonrunners, which was also created by Gy Waldron and had many identical or similar character names and concepts.
The Dukes of Hazzard follows the adventures of “The Duke Boys”, cousins Bo and Luke Duke, who live in a rural part of the fictional Hazzard County, Georgia with their attractive cousin Daisy and their wise old Uncle Jesse, as they race around in their customized 1969 Dodge Charger stock car, christened (The) General Lee, evading crooked county commissioner Boss Hogg and his inept county sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, and always managing to get caught in the middle of the various escapades and incidents that often occur in the area.

世界一有名なお祭り、ブラジルのリオのカーニバルが始まりました。
街の中を練り歩くのは、地区や通りごとに結成される「ブロッコ」と呼ばれるサンバチームです。最大の特徴は、観客もそのまま参加できる点で、治安の回復や若者を中心としたサンバ見直しの機運もあり、ここ10年でブロッコの数は400以上に急増しました。今年のリオのカーニバルは国の内外から85万人が見込まれています。
http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/ann/news/web/html/220218028.html
多々あるキリスト教国のカーニバルの中でもブラジル・リオのは格別、いえ別格です。
日本でもサンバを取り入れたお祭りがいくつかあるようですね。
信者でもない日本人がいくらサンバを上手に踊っても、それはうわべの模倣に過ぎません。文化というのは何だってそういうもんでしょう。

「アメリカ人が着物を着ても最後の最後は馴染みきれない。私達は幼少期の早い時期にしみ込んだ空気を否定できない」として、日本人がヒップホップをやることに違和感を覚えるとした。
これにヒップホップファンは猛反発。「ディスってんのか?」「お前は、何様のつもりなんだ!」と批判が殺到した。
為末さんはその後、「昔あるジャズシンガーが、ジャズを真似していてうまくいかなかったけれど、日本風のジャズを作ればいいんだとわかった時にとても勇気が出たと言っていた。それに感動をしたのを思い出した」と投稿。ヒップホップも日本風を目指すべきだと言いたかったのかもしれないが、真意はよく分からない。

民族の歴史・文化を看過し 表出されたスタイルのみを模倣する行為は、欧米人の目には摩訶不思議に映る。
いわゆるコピーキャットのレベルと思われてしまうのだ。

日本政府は旧ソ連・グルジアの国名表記を「ジョージア」に変更する方針となった。同国から要請されたため。これに対し、国名はさておき、関連商品がどう呼ばれるのか心配する声がネット上であがっている。
というのも、グルジアには名産の「グルジアワイン」が存在するからだ。
(中略)
「でもセイロンティーっていまだに現役だしそこはグルジアワインでいくのかな」といった形で、グルジアワインはグルジアワインのままでも良いのではとの指摘も。こうした例はほかにも「ペルシャ絨毯」や「シャムネコ」など様々ある。

「グルジアワインのままでも良い」に賛成だ。

旧ソ連のグルジアの国名呼称を「ジョージア」に変更する「在外公館の名称・位置ならびに在外公館勤務外務公務員給与法改正案」が14日午後の衆院本会議で全会一致により可決、成立した。今月中に施行される見通しだ。
グルジアの呼称はロシア語に由来。同国は2008年にロシアと領土をめぐり武力衝突し、外交関係が断絶した。英語に基づく「ジョージア」への変更を各国に働き掛けていた。
改正案は当初、施行日を4月1日と明記していたが、参院で3月末までに成立しなかったため、施行日を盛り込まない形に修正し、衆院回付となっていた。

「彼は我々のヒーローです」。国技館へ祝福にかけつけた駐日ジョージア全権特命大使、レバン・ツィンツァゼ氏の声も弾む。栃ノ心が14勝目とダブル三賞で初優勝に花を添えた。
(中略)
恒例の優勝者インタビューには「ほんとに幸せです!」と切り出した。
いろんな人への感謝を述べる中で、「私の国のみなさん」と口にした。前夜はテレビ電話でジョージアの父、母、妻と語り合った。「みんなで泣きながら話しました」と栃ノ心。昨年11月に生まれた長女アナスタシアちゃんには、まだ会えていない。そのつらさの半面、優勝を経験した父として会えることになった。
首回りから腕にかけて大きく波打つ筋肉。腹はムダに出てはいない。大木のように太く揺るがぬ両足。長い指が土を嚙(か)む。まさにスモウレスラーだ。「これからも親方の言うことをきいて、またいい相撲をとれるように頑張ります」。春場所は久々の三役復帰が確実。ジョージアのヒーローには、まだまだ上がある。<栃ノ心「泣きながら家族と」母国ジョージアは栄誉賞検討 (朝日新聞デジタル) – Yahoo!ニュース より一部引用>
