Into the book
Is banning cell phone use on campus a human rights violation?
- This opinion: It is necessary to protect the teacher's authority and the student's right to learn.
It's hard to focus on your studies when you're chatting online on messengers and playing games on your phone at school.
Additionally, many students often forget to turn off their cell phones during breaks, disrupting class.
There are many cases where teachers and students have unnecessary conflicts because of cell phones.
Without cell phones, students would ask their teachers questions instead of using their phones, and they would also develop respect for their teachers.
--- p.12

Is banning cell phone use on campus a human rights violation?
- Such opinions: violate freedom of action.
Break and lunch time are students' free time, during which they are free to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't harm others.
It's excessive control for schools to prohibit cell phone use even at this time.
--- p.13

I'll give you some background information in the news!
What is basic income?
Basic income is a system that provides a minimum living expense to all citizens.
All citizens receive the same amount of money unconditionally, regardless of whether they have a lot of wealth or not, or whether they work or not.
Most countries, including ours, operate a 'selective welfare' system that provides living expenses only to the economically disadvantaged.
However, some people argue that 'universal welfare', in which everyone benefits equally, is more helpful in reducing the gap between rich and poor and in growing the economy.

96

What is customs duty?
A tariff is a tax imposed on imported goods, and the importer pays tariffs every time the goods cross the border.
Tariffs are used as a means to protect domestic industries, counter unfair trade practices by other countries, and to collect more taxes.
For example, to protect our country's automobile industry, we would impose taxes on automobiles imported from other countries.
If a tariff is imposed, importers have no choice but to raise the price of imported cars to avoid losses.
If imported cars become this expensive, most people will end up choosing domestic cars instead of imported cars.
Then, naturally, domestic car companies will make more money.
--- p.128

Want to know the meaning of the word?
-World Health Organization (WHO): An international organization responsible for global public health whose goal is to help people around the world achieve the highest possible level of health.
-Game addiction: A state in which excessive immersion in a game negatively affects daily life, including academics, work, and interpersonal relationships.
-Shutdown Law: A law that restricted children under the age of 16 from using online games between midnight and 6 a.m., implemented from 2011 to 2021.
Currently, a selective game time system, also known as the selective shutdown system, is in place, allowing teenagers or their guardians to voluntarily adjust their game time, but it is being evaluated as ineffective.
--- p.180

Should we think about it more deeply?
Why do teenagers use so many new words?
Among the new words that my friends and I have been using recently, there is one that is likely to become standard language in the future.
Is it there?
--- p.310
