Final Presentation

We embeded the file of our final presentation, so please take a look at it if you are interested. As we said, we decided to make an NGO that teaches young Japanese people about sex education and abortion for our seminar's project. The following are the comments from our professor and classmates: “I was glad to see that you went that extra mile to film on location (at Shibuya Station). The variety of your activities were impressive and I like your non-judgmental approach. You did a good job in making an NGO that deals with issues in a way that other NGOs in Japan don't.” “Your NGO looked real, and I think it was simple to understand. It's nice that everything is for free!” “I like how this organization provides us plenty of information about abortion. Your counseling will help those who suffer from pregnancy problems.” “The video was interesting. I thought distributing condoms is a good way to avoid abortion” “A very persuasive NGO. I'm interested in knowing more, since there are less education in Japan.” “The NGO is needed for young Japanese people these days. Necessary knowledge of abortion would be quite important. I hope your NGO will prosper and be accepted worldwide.” “Your making a webpage and Facebook Page made me surprised.” “There were many access to the home of the organization and especially the Facebook Page was interesting.” “Very well done.” “The video was so interesting!! I understood how you help teenagers through your presentation.” “It was very simple. The website of your NGO was nice.”

About the editors

Mayu

Hello, this is Mayu. Before I embed the file of our final presentation, I would like to talk a little bit about myself.


I am a university student living in Tokyo, Japan. I'm a sophomore now and my major is English. 

I was born in Tokyo, but I moved to New York when I was 6 years old and lived there for three years.


My hobbies are listening to music and watching movies. One of my favorite movies are The Blind Side, I am Sam, and Rent.

I chose abortion as my topic since I wanted to know about more about abortion in Japan. When I was living in the United States, I had many friends who were adopted, but in Japan, only a few people put their babies up for adoption.
I personally consider that it is much better to put one's baby up for adoption rather than having abortion because there are many people who wants children. Although some people argue that adopted children won't have a happy life, my adopted friends told me that they were actually glad that they were put up for adoption.
