The future: My predictions
The future of Japan
My first prediction about Japan is that a
lot of people will be living in rural areas compared to now, because of
the COVID-19’s spread, people are feeling unsafe, or unconfutable living in bustling
cities especially for their children. I saw an article saying that some
families are moving to rural areas to live a life they could not do in cities.
They grow enough vegetables, or spend more time with their children. I think
this change is a positive thing because major cities are overpopulated, so if
more people move to rural areas, areas can be developed, and get more attention
from tourists.
My second prediction is that about 50% of
the population will be people from other countries. Before the pandemic happened, it was normal for me to see different
types of people shopping or living next door. I think it is a good change because
we might be able to absorb many interesting cultural things from them, and they
can learn about Japanese culture by living here.
My third prediction is that Japan might
become a developing country in near future. People started to say this when we
had to ask other countries for vaccines to help infected people. Japanese government
are trying hard to take down corona virus but more and more people are being
infected. I also think Korea is getting more power than Japan in several areas,
like music, and dramas. I think it is not a bad thing because we can come
together to become a developed country again as a one team.
Fascinating predictions. Can urbanization in Japan be reversed? Perhaps an increasing uptake of mobile technology and an increasing acceptance of 'working from home' might enable people to leave the cities for a more comfortable life in the countryside. Or perhaps as the population falls, vacant houses and apartment buildings could be cleared and people could bring the country to the city by planting crops and forests on this land.
ReplyDeleteI think it would not be solved in near future because of the epidemic, many people are depending on delivery services more than ever to stay safe at home, and become too lazy to cook because of quarantine. Also they can not live without them, so people will not live the city.
DeleteFirst prediction is really interesting. Unlike you, some people say rural areas will be losing population. It's hard for me to live with an imagined future. I can never imagine what will happen after the COVID 19. So, I live in the moment and enjoy it. lol
ReplyDeleteI really understand your idea, we can not predict the future 100% accurate, we should do our best every moments, and enjoy the moments.
DeleteI like your first prediction! If more and more people move to rural area, they will not be suffered from the economic problem or disappearing traditional things. So I hope your idea will be true.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too. I hope more people will move to rural areas and have a good life they could not have in the cities.
