はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストのシーズン２の２回目です。私は相変わらず仕事をしながら、大学のレポートを書いています。３つ提出して、１つ合格しました。残りの２つのレポートの採点は、今月の終わりです。最後のレポートは教育史についてでした。第二次世界大戦から、日本の教育のシステムがどのように変化したか調べました。

Hello. This is my podcast episode 1 of season 2. I’m still working and writing my college essays, I’ve submitted three and one has already been accepted. The other two essays will be graded later this month. The last essay was on the history of education. I looked at how the Japanese education system has changed since World War II.

私は20代の頃、大学の勉強はつまらないと思っていました。読書や勉強よりも、自分の生活にもっと関心があったからです。だけど歳を取ると、自分の生活以外にも、社会についてもっと考えるようになりました。最近はテレビや映画のような大衆娯楽をあまり見なくなって、ニュースや専門書を読むことが多くなっていたので、課題は大変ですが、勉強を始めてよかったと思っています。「大衆娯楽」とは、たくさんの人に向けて作られたエンターテイメントのことです。「専門書」とは、教科書など知識を得るための本です。教育学は、実は社会問題ととても関係が深いです。

When I was in my twenties, I thought studying in college was boring. I was more interested in my own life than in reading and studying. But as I got older, I started to think more about society. These days I don’t watch much ‘Taishu Goraku’ like TV and movies anymore, and I read more news and ‘Senmonsho’, so I’m glad I started studying, even though the assignments are tough. ‘Taishu Goraku’ (popular entertainment) is entertainment designed for a large audience. ‘Senmonsho’ (specialist books) are textbooks and other books for gaining knowledge. Education study is actually very much related to social issues.

今はローマクラブについて勉強しています。ローマクラブはスイスの組織ですが、1968年にイタリアのローマで最初の集まりがあったので、ローマクラブと言います。このクラブには科学者や経営者などが参加していて、色々な社会の問題について話し合っています。たとえば、環境問題ですね。最近は天然資源が足りなくなって、どこの国でもインフレが問題になっています。ロンドンに住んでいる友達が、バターが値上がりしたと言っていました、日本でも牛乳が高くなりました。戦争の影響で牛の餌が足りないみたいです。2022年は、ローマクラブが「100年後に地球の限界が来る」と予測してから50年だそうです。残りの50年が怖いですね。
