Class #4 Islam
what I learned about Islam last class is how much they hope the world peace. Islam means peace, and I think the reason why they do not drink alcohol and gamble or something like bad things is because if they take those things in their body, they become bad people and think negative way.Therefore the world peace be collapsed. From this class, I am really interested in the word "Arabic" because it is different from other religions. Most of the Bible was translated to other languages, and sometime, the meaning was changed. However, Arabic is common language among Islam in the world. some people say we have to have one religion and trust one god, then we can have strong mind. however, I think it is also good for us to learn any other religions because I learned religions including Islam have so many history and roots or many deep things in each religions. Every religions have each different ways of thinking and they are from their histories and minds.I do not think any religion has wrong ways of thinking. I think maybe people who have negative feeling of any religion is ignorance about them and their histories, or can not think other ways of thinking. therefore I want to learn it more to broaden my horizon of religions .
Q1. How do you greet people in your life?
I make a bow to greet my senior and superior to respect them. To my friends, I just say "Hi";konnitiwa or Ohayo to be friendly. I have to change the way of greeting depend on their age. It is one of Japanese cultures.
Q1-2 Is it different for different people? Why?
Yes, because Japan has a tradition which we have to respect our elders in many ways. I think this tradition come from Japanese mind that we think the elders are intelligent and experienced many difficulties and learn many things so we want to learn it and improve ourselves from elderly.
Q2. Do you touch people when you talk to them? Why? Or Why not?
I sometime do it to my friends on their shoulder because it makes more Images of friendly. but it depends on friends, some does not like it so I have to ascertain.
I do not do it to people I do not know well and elderly. It is because Japanese do not like to be touched by a strangers. If I do it to elderly, It will means I do not respect them and it will be rude. so friendly and respectful should be separated. it means too friendly will be rude and too respectful will be not friendly. It is difficult for even Japanese sometimes.

Interesting, is there a difference in the way that you bow to different people when you greet them?
When you write, please support your comments with examples and/or evidence. Interesting comment about the bowing though .... I would like to hear your explanation!
Yes, it is I do it at different people and situation. for example, when I or people I meet are buzy or for greeting to others, I bow and it become shallow but If I am a clerk or express appreciation to customer, my bow should be deep.
