After listening to the lecture and the meaning of colors in clothing, answer the following questions:1. Do you judge people according to what they wear? Why?
Honestly, I judge people according to what they wear. I think most people look appearance at first sight and appearance is connected with clothes. For example, if we look uniform, we can guess the person's job or organization. Moreover, clothes express the person's personality. Some people who is wearing expensive designer goods must be rich and proud of themselves and also they like new things. On the other hand, some people who don't care about clothes have own opinion and they aren't influenced by around people.
2 Do you think Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judging other people from another country?
Yes, I think so.
I know it is not good to judge people by looking only clothes because I can't understand their inside face by looking just their clothes. However, first impression is really important in Japan, so clothes is one of the way to judge the person in Japanese society. Especially, foreigners stand out just their appearance, so Japanese look their clothes and judge the person.
3. What colors are you wearing now? Do they reflect your mood?
I'm wearing black shirts, black jacket and jeans now.
Yeah, I think they reflect my mood. I'm relaxing and feel comfortable now. I like black because black suit any clothes and also makes me calm down, I think. That is why I have a lot of black clothes.
Next week we will discuss friends, please prepare by answering the following questions:1. What are some subjects that you will never discuss with a friend?
I will never discuss about money and politic with my friends. I think money definitely causes trouble with friendship, so I don't lend money to my friends and borrow from them. Of course, I don't discuss with my friends about my salary at part time job because money is deeply private things. Recently, Japanese young people rarely discuss about politics with friends. Actually, we are not intrested in politics and it is too serious subject for us to discuss with friends. However, I think we need to discuss about that because politics strongly connect with our life and future, so we must think and discuss about politics more.
2. Do you have different friends for different parts of your life? If so, how are they different to you? Do you talk about different things? Go to different places? Give me some examples.Yes, I have. They already have worked as a member of society although they are same age as me. It is interesting for me to hear about their job. I talk about my free time and favorite actors and films etc.. I talk about almost same thing and go to same places as talking other friends. I go to cafe and have a lunch or go shopping sometimes.

Hi, yea, also I will not discuss about money with my friends. I hate talking about money!
Hi, nyaa (^^♪
I think most people don't like to talk about so much. Money is really sensitive subject, I think..
Oh, interesting!! I noticed that, I have many friedns of foreigners and I talk them about money, but I don't talk friends of Japanese about money!! I try to advise friends of foreigners how to get money or how to save money or something like that.
I agree with you we should, not should, MSUT talk about topic of politics with friedns. however many young people don't have interesting in politics, that's true. what should we do now?? we MUST talk this topic!!
I also know it is not good to judge people only clothes. But,I actually judge people according to who the peoson wear. Will it be the one of the Japanese ways of thinking to know a strange people?
I like black clothes, too. But If I'm in black everyday, I would feel getting somber.
Me,too. I never disussed about money. I think it is the most private thing for us. So I think we shoudn't talk about that!!
I agree with your idea. We have to talk about politics with friends. However, I don't talk about politics with friends. I think we have to watch news on TV and read newspaper more. In doing so, we can know about politics little by little.
I think so that,too.
There are many cultures in the world.
Clothes give expression to the many things.
For example, geography, temperature and humidity, fashion.

Hi,thank you for your comment!
Yeah, to pay attention to politics is really important, I think.
I guess most Japanese people fed up with the government because our life is not getting better whoever become prime minister.I have no idea that the solution of this problem..However,if we notice that we can change the politics,politics is getting more approachable.

Yea, clothes sometimes reveal position such as uniform or something like that.
That is why I think most people care about their appearance(clothes)!

As you say,Japanese people wear black clothes when we attend funeral or official event, so you may feel somber.
