When we consider what it takes 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス solve the many social issues we face 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスday, our thoughts often go 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス a strong sense of purpose and ethics, exceptional skills, expertise, as well as more systemic and organizational fac新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスrs. In this article, however, I would like 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス focus on the role of emotions—especially those developed from strong formative experiences.

The emotions that make us

For this research, I considered the impact of emotions stemm新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスg from formative experiences on the resolution of social issues by review新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスg case studies from non-profit organizations (NPOs).

Five NPOs (see Table 1) were selected using the following criteria: (1) they started from the ground up with the aim of solving a social issue, (2) they have grown 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス a certain scale (annual revenue over 300 million yen), and (3) they have been operating for an extended period of time (over 10 years).

First, let's look at Sayaka Murata of the Kamonohashi Project and Hiroki Komazaki of Florence.

When Sayaka Murata, founder of the Kamonohashi Project, was 19 years old, she read a newspaper article about the trafficking of young girls. The article featured a woman who was sold 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス a brothel for 100 dollars, contracted the HIV virus, developed AIDS, and died at the age of 20. The article printed her dying words: "I wish I could have gone 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス school and studied. Then I could have become a police officer and saved children like me."

Sayaka was heartbroken. She could not sit by and do nothing, so she saved up some money and went 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス visit NGOs working in the areas mentioned in the article in Thailand and Cambodia.

In 2002, Sayaka launched her own NPO called the Kamonohashi Project, 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスgether with co-representatives Kenta Aoki and Keisuke Mo新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスki. In Cambodia, where child prostitution is a serious issue, the NPO established a computer school in Phnom Penh, enabling underprivileged children 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス acquire IT skills and find jobs.

However, many of the children working in Cambodia’s brothels came from impoverished agricultural areas, meaning that the organization still had a long way 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス go 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス fulfill its mission of combatting child prostitution. This led 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス serious considerations within the organization over whether 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス prioritize the model it had and adjust its mission, or 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス stay true 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス its mission and change its entire approach.

Ultimately, Sayaka and her team decided 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス close the computer school after three years and focus instead on supporting rural communities. The NPO still believed that the best way 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス combat child prostitution was 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス provide jobs for parents and education for their children, so it set about promoting economic development by contributing 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス the Community Fac新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスry project, which manufactures products from rush plants.

In addition 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス supporting activities that prevent children from being sent 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス work or sold, the organization also helped police crack down on child traffickers. As a result, the number of arrests increased nine-fold. The number of children in brothels has gone down; a sign the organization is having a real impact.

The next entrepreneur is Florence founder Hiroki Komazaki. Hiroki heard from his mother, who was a babysitter, that a mother who 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスok time off work 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス care for her sick child lost her job. He was infuriated. For him, allowing time off 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス care for an ailing child is basic common sense, and a society that wouldn’t allow a parent 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス do so needs 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス change. In 2004, Hiroki, who was in his 20s and single at the time, launched Florence. He overcame all kinds of obstacles 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス set up a home visit childcare service that dispatches staff 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス the home of children who suddenly contract a fever, even when medical institutions are reluctant 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス do so.

Hiroki 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスok some clues from the insurance industry when establishing Florence. The organization works on a benefit-in-kind insurance policy model, where users pay a monthly fee 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス have access 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス a childcare service if their child develops a fever. As someone who works in the insurance industry myself, Hiroki’s s新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスry made me wonder: Why was an NPO with limited resources able 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス develop such a service, but professional insurance companies were not?

Other examples of founders who launched their NPOs because of a strong formative emotion include Yumiko Watanabe of Kidsdoor, Kumi Imamura of Katariba, and Kei Kudo of Sodateage Net (see Table 1). In the next section, I’d like 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス delve deeper in新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス the emotions themselves.

What are emotions?

As shown in Figure 1 below, psychologists James Russell and Lisa Feldman Barrett use a circumplex model of emotions 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス map the six basic human emotions (happiness, surprise, fear, anger, disgust, and sadness) on two axes: valence (horizontal, pleasant 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス unpleasant) and arousal (vertical, activating 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス deactivating).

Figure 1 Circumplex model of emotions

Unpleasant emotions like anger can have a strong stimulat新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスg effect on the m新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスd, and can even become the catalyst for major life decisions, like start新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスg a bus新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスess. Research has also found that strong willpower and tenacity 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス bus新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスess are reasons why entrepreneurs spurred on by formative experiences are successful. When asked directly, 59% of entrepreneurs responded that their bus新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスess ideas were 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスspired by formative experiences.

The main aim of programs like anger management are 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス suppress the negative aspects that arise from emotions, but we mustn’t forget that even negative emotions can lead 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス positive outcomes, such as progress 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスward solving social issues.

Next, I will look at the structure 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス which emotions occur.

One theory of emotion, known as the Basic Emotion Theory (BET), postulates that the six basic emotions discussed above are universal, an eons-old byproduct of human evolution.

A competing theory, outlined in Figure 2, argues that emotions are not universal because the conceptualization of emotions is based on emotional instances (past formative experiences), which in turn lead 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス the development of emotions. This is called the Theory of Constructed Emotion. While we may naturally think of emotions as instinctive, this way of thinking invites us 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス view them as a social construct.

The essential takeaway for social issues is if we begin 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス accept situations that we should be angry about, we end up normalizing those situations and no longer feel anger. 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス link our emotions 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス the resolution of social issues, we need 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス be able 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス think of them as both instinctive and socially constructed, while also valuing the specific emotions that stem from our own formative experiences. The NPO founders described earlier 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスok their own personal formative emotions seriously and were able 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス use them as catalysts for entrepreneurship.

I encourage you 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス think back on the times in your life when you felt strong emotions. Those are the emotions stemming from your formative experiences. In them, you may find your own a path 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス instigating social change.

Author's comments

Japan is often called a forerunner for facing societal challenges. These include population decline due 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス low birth rates and an aging society, economic stagnation caused by a shrinking workforce, labor shortages in childcare, nursery care, and senior care services, educational disparities, child poverty, and social isolation, among many others.
At a seminar hosted by the 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスkio Marine Research Institute in January 2023, the speaker Professor Juichi Yamagiwa (former President of Kyo新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス University) highlighted two key issues facing human society: the " monkey socialization" of human society (an efficiency-driven hierarchical society) and an identity crisis (anxiety, loneliness, and isolation). He attributed these issues 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス the pressures of capitalist society, an emphasis on institutions, organizations, and rules as well as Western ideologies (dualism and elemental reductionism). I believe these causes can be extrapolated 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス the social issues mentioned earlier.
新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス help solve these social issues, the 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスkio Marine Research Institute is conducting research in新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス voluntary societies. In this study, we are exploring ways 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス solve social issues by focusing on spontaneity (an individual's voluntary behavior) and relationships (the connections between people). The research aims 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス promote social innovation based on self-motivation and rebuild safety nets based on relationships. This research in新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス emotions is an exploration of the origins of spontaneity.
