≪FIRST HALF≫

＜Agenda＞

Anger management ~Why don’t we try a self-check?~

What are your pet peeves? What annoys you? What drives you nuts? If someone asks you these questions, what situations come to your mind?

People have different perspectives that make them feel good or bad. Likewise, situations that provoke feelings of anger are so diverse. It is important to understand situations that make you angry may not be so as to others. If you know the situations that drive you crazy, you can control your anger or even estimate and be ready to handle it. Moreover, it is a good way to know someone important to you, like family, close friends, and colleagues. Sometimes, we have conflict due to misunderstanding in a relationship. However, If we know situations of anger in each of us, it will help to enhance a better relationship with others.

On the day of discussion, I will show you 12 questions as a self-check, then let’s find out what types of anger that you tend to be and to know how to manage your feelings. The purpose of this self-check is to know about yourself as well as others, there is no right or no wrong based on the results. When you figure out your characteristic of anger, you can notice the situations that might make you irritated and how to calm down.

<Questions>

1: What characteristic of anger are you? Share in a group.

2: What kind of situations make you angry/ irritated/ frustrated/ annoyed? Please share your episodes.

3: Do you have any solutions that help you calm down/ change your mind instantly? 

Flow of the discussion day

1.  Presentation in a few minutes.

2.  Take a self-check.

3.  Recognize your characteristic of anger.

4.  Discuss 3 questions above.

5.  Share your group opinion as question No.3.

Note:

I can’t put references to anger management because there is a risk to take a self-check-in advance before the day of discussion. I will show the references on the day.

≪LATTER HALF≫

＜Agenda＞

Fake or Truth, How do you utilize SNS?

I started to use Twitter as one of the apps as SNS, at that time, the purpose of use is not to collect opinions or information of other people in the world, just to collect operating information of some Restaurants or cafes.

However, while I was checking these information, occasionally I could find some political opinions of other users or medias, or even directly from politicians, as recommended by Twitter itself.

Especially while under US president election periods, both conservative, or liberal members were fighting with their opinions and also with some evidence and pictures.

However, sometimes these evidence and pictures are kind of fake information, created for propaganda or media manipulation.

Under such situation, Japan set up one organization called “Japan fact check Center(JFC)” as they would check whether information is correct or not correct or totally fake, etc.

 I found some of the interesting or funny information were actually not correct through their site.

However, there would be some issues, since JFC members are from mass medias especially mainly from liberal side considerably, therefore some times I am afraid their info also should be carefully read whether correct or not.

Today I would like you to discuss, how do you collect information from medias ( including SNS) and how do you define whether information is correct or not.

<Questions>

1. Have you ever seen fake information through Medias or SNS?

 If yes, how did you know that information is not correct or fake? If not, what impression do you have?

2. How do you usually check whether the information is correct or not if that information is doubtful?

3. How media should be? Is it possible to be completely neutral?
