ひどい文章。本当に新聞記者か⁇と思ったら
東京新聞、ああ…
何を言いたいのかわからない、
強引なまでの日本人バンザイ論、
散漫な被災地の話、
突然で効果も意味不明なハイチの話…
ひどかった。
時間の無駄

東北とハイチそれぞれの震災被災地を取材したレポートはよかったが、それらを通して何が言いたかったのかが今ひとつ散漫な気がする。タイトルと内容もズレを感じる。

The author is a member of Tokyo Simbun editorial board who once went to developing countries in Africa and to Haiti which was also hit by huge earthquake. And Mr. Yoshioka visited his old friend in Iwate Pref. and saw people's endeavor to reconstruct badly damaged their living places.
He compared people's attitude between Japan and other countries and found that we are more cooperative, kind and diligent than Haitian, Ethiopian and so on.

The results of his analysis of why it is so are as follows:
1.Japanese are decendant of agricultural race. Group work was necessary and important in their community. That's why the spirit of helping each other is left in our DNA
2.Mother Nature, or comfortable four seasons in Japan let Japanese people appreciate and respect various parts of nature: mountains, rivers, oceans and so on. That's why the megaearthquake victims weren't angry against nature. Instead, they accepted it as an inevitable bad luck.
