Automotive industry in Japan

The automotive industry in Japan is known for the high quality products in the world. It is more popular than other countries’ one like Europe, America, Germany and so on. The car made in Japan has special attractions that the one made in other countries doesn’t have.

History 
The automotive industry in Japan began in the Meiji period. Japanese people started to produce them based on the car which is imported from overseas then. In 1904, the first car which used steam as a power source was made in Japan. The first car that used gasoline as fuel was made in 1907. However, the Japanese technology was very low, so they were not known to the world.
After World War 2 finished, Japanese automotive industry developed and established the systems of mass production. As Japanese car companies got new technology, they started to make original products. 
In the 1970s, they faced environmental problems, so they had to produce cars that didn't have a bad influence on the environment. The engine made by Honda was the first one in Japan that met a hard standard about the environment.
As Japanese automotive industry improved production’s safety and environmentally friendly technology, the cars made in Japan became popular and famous. In 2019, there were six cars made in Japan in the top 10 best selling cars in the world.

Feature 
Japanese cars have been known for high quality in the world and said it is hard to break. Japanese cars tend to be designed to run longer on less fuel. 
The biggest difference between Japanese one and other country’s one is the position of the handles. For Japanese cars, it is the right-hand drive. Conversely, it is left-hand drive for other countries. The reason why Japanese cars are right-hand drive is based on habit before the spread of automobiles. The main means of transportation was carriage then and the driver sat right side to flick a horse easily. 
There are some features like high safety and reliability. These are reasons why Japanese cars are preferred.

In foreign countries 
Because of high quality, many kinds of cars are used in many moments. For movies, some famous movies like Fast and Furious use Japanese cars. For world races, they have enough power to win the championship at a race. In 2019, the Mazda team won the championship in America.

Nara Juvenile Prison

The Nara Juvenile Prison is a prison which is in Nara, Japan. It was built in 1908 during the Meiji Period.  It was used as a prison until 2017.  It has been named an Important Cultural Property.  It is being rebuilt as a hotel and scheduled to open in 2024.

History
Architect Keijiro Yamashita designed the former Nara Prison. It was made as part of the Meiji government's plan to be modern. It opened in 1908.  In 1910, 935 people were accommodated in this prison although the maximum capacity was 650 people. In 1922, Japan passed the Juvenile Law. The prison was renamed twice in 1922 and 1946.

The former Nara prison was renamed "the Nara Juvenile Prison" in 1946. Prisoners were between 16 and 26 years old. The prison had education programs so the prisoners would be less likely to commit more crimes after being released from prison. This was the first place in Japan to have a sexual offense recidivism prevention program. There was also a lot of remedial guidance that appealed to individual personalities, such as violence avoidance education, social development education, and hope development courses. Prisoners were also given vocational training for jobs. The Wakakusa Barber Shop was one of these vocational programs. Trained inmates gave haircuts to staff and citizens.

In 2017, it was designed as an important cultural asset. It stopped working as a prison in March 31.

Building
The building has Romanesque architecture and was made of highly fireproof red brick. These bricks were made by prisoners. British stacking was used because it is easy to install and strong. A structure called a Haviland system, in which the prison buildings were spread out in a radial pattern around a watchtower, was used. This helped the guards see what was happening.

Hotel
The Former Nara Prison stopped working a prison in March 2017 because the buildings were too old. Instead of being knocked down, the government decided to reopen it as a hotel in 2024. The hotel is to be called the Hoshino Resort, a major Japanese inn brand. The hotel was originally scheduled to open in 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic meant it had to be done later.  Hoshino Resort, MUJI, and Solare Hotels and Resorts all plan to work on making the former prison into a hotel.

Sexual capital

Sexual capital (or erotic capital) is the social value an individual or social group gets as a function of their sexual attractiveness. Like other forms of economic capital, sexual capital can be converted to other forms of capital. Sexual capital can be useful in getting social or economic capital. British sociologist Catherine Hakim first used the term "erotic capital", in the early 2000s. French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu had already defined other forms of capital, such as economic, cultural, or social capital. Hakim saw sexual capital as different. She says erotic capital is independent of class origin;  for this reason, it enables social mobility. Hakim  argues that this makes erotic capital socially subversive, which results in the prevailing power structures devaluing and trying to suppress it. In the manosphere, the parallel term sexual market value or its abbreviation SMV is often used.

Nobel prize winner Gary Becker  developed a theory of human capital. In 1972, Michael Grossmann had developed the term "health capital". Robert Michael extended this term to include sexual capital. Maichal says, if an individual choses to use his or her sexual attractivness, this is a rational choice, and the individual will expect something in return.

Virtue signalling

Virtue signalling is when a person shows anger to make themselves look good to others.  Usually, this means the person says that they don't like or don't approve of something.  For example, a person might talk about political ideas that they know the other people around them agree with.

Psychologists Jillian Jordan and David Rand say that even when people feel true anger, they still show it in ways that they think will make them look good to other people.  They even do this when they are alone.

According to the Boston Globe, the word "virtue signalling" was used as early as 2004 and became popular in 2015.

The domain name org is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) of the Domain Name System (DNS) used in the Internet. The name is truncated from organization. It was one of the original domains established in 1985, and has been operated by the Public Interest Registry since 2003. The domain was originally intended for non-profit entities, but this restriction was removed in August 2019. 

In November 2019, the Public Interest Registry (PIR) was to be sold by the Internet Society to shell company Ethos Capital for US$1.135 billion.  However, this move was criticized by non-profits and various digital rights groups on concerns that Ethos Capital, a private equity firm, would raise fees or censor the domain. The sale was blocked by Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in April 2020 on the basis that transfer of control of the domain to the private equity firm would create "unacceptable uncertainty" for non-profits that relied on the org domain.
