Chapter 2 Neither children nor adults can think

"Have the Japanese become stupid?" In today's Japanese society, there are too many strange phenomena that make you think so unconsciously. For example, the increase in the number of unqualified college students and the decline in the learning ability of primary and secondary students.These are all sequelae brought about by the so-called "quality education", but the most serious problem is that this has discredited Japan's primary and secondary education, which enjoys the world's highest reputation.The result of this is that the scope of the "lower and middle class" defined by current buzzwords for social issues is constantly expanding.The so-called "lower middle class" refers to the lack of interest in work and study among young people, and this lack of interest has exacerbated the collapse of middle class society.

With the rapid development of the information society, people rely more and more on mobile phones and the Internet.Under such circumstances, young people's ability to think and communicate is in danger of declining.There is even a saying that contemporary young people only care about things within 3 meters around them. Who can deny that there is a remarkable "decline in IQ" among the young people who will shoulder the future of Japan? Of course, "IQ decline" doesn't just happen to kids and young adults, adults are doing incredible things too. For example, when it is mentioned in a TV program that "natto is helpful for weight loss", they will immediately buy it without thinking.The natto in the Japanese supermarket was sold out the next day.Following the natto incident, there was a rush to buy bananas.

In addition, since Chinese frozen dumplings were detected to contain pesticides, no one has carefully inspected and identified them, but there are no more Chinese-made foods in supermarkets and dining tables. This phenomenon is basically caused by the malicious speculation of the media, especially TV, which misled the public.But fundamentally, it's caused by people's lack of opinion about things. Today's TV is full of guessing and joke programs. It is difficult for viewers to lose their ability to think while immersed in this environment all day long.
