Outline

"Death" is an irreversible end of life. So, it is important for us to know how people think about "death" because we can understand their culture, history, and so on from it.

Today, murder is not allowed in almost all countries. Modern countries regard life as invaluable and irreplaceable thing. So endangering someone's life is a serious crime.

However, modern countries have some systems which include "allowed death". "Allowed death" means "although someone is died because of the system, the nation is not blamed". Armed forces system is one of it.

Why are these deaths allowed by nation? The answer will reflect our sense of value based on each culture, history and so on. So this problem is very difficult to discuss between different countries.

For this reason, this problem should be discussed from a legal point of view, because the law can adjust the differences in our values. The law embodies a universal code, so it can become a factor of common understanding among countries.

When different countries can share the answer to this problem, they will also be able to establish a mutual understanding in their fundamental values. And it greatly helps to promote a friendship among countries.

Therefore, our table will discuss this problem thinking the Japanese and Korean armed forces system: the volunteer system and the conscription system. As students who live under different systems and are expected to shoulder the future, it is a crucial step for both Japan and Korea to discuss this problem face to face and share the answers. Then we can promote a good relationship, I believe.

From Assistant Coordinator
Hello, I'm AC of this table, Mebuki Sunagawa. This time, we are going to look at each military system. Last summer I participated in ST to Korea and then I saw Korean army. In Japan, army is not familiar with us, but the situation is different in Korea. I want you to think both military systems and know the background. I think ST is great opportunity because we the parties concerned can talk about face to face. Let's have helpful time with us. Let's have great time at table yellow!!We are waiting you
