Creative Writing: Newly Independent Nation Seeks Advice From Other Nations

S.S. Period 4

24-Oct-96

A newly independent nation is seeking advice from other nations

as it establishes its domestic policies on a variety of issues. Some of the

nations and policies are Japan and there education system, Israel and womens

right, and Englands health care system.

The first area in which the nation is seeking advise is in the

area of education. They are seeking advise from Japan. Japan puts much stress

on its education. In Japan there are 240 days/year of school at six days per

week (Mon.-Sat.). This is part of the reason Japan has a 99% literecy rate. In

Japan if a person wants to get a good job then they usually need to have a

college degree. The newly independent nation should not choose this system

because it puts to much stress and pressure on the students. For example to get

into a good high school or college you must pass a difficult exam. Many

students who do not get into a good school often turn to suicide, Japan is

second in the world behind the U.S. in teen suicide. I would not choose this

because a good system of education is not worth teens killing themselves.

The second area in which the nation is seeking advice is in the area of

womens rights. They are seeking advice from Israel. In Israel women are given

as equal rights as men are. Women are allowed to have the samejobs, education,

and also serve in the military under the same conditions of men. The nation

should choose this policy because women are as equal as men and should have all

the same oppurtunities. Plus during a war or crisis women would have all the

same military experience as men.

The third area of advise in which the nation is seeking advice is in the

area of health care. The nation is seeking advise from England. In England

health care is covered by the NHS. The NHS (National Health Service)is a form

of care that has been in place since 1946. Under the NHS all citizens are

provided health care on demand. All expences are covered by general taxes with

t\small fees on prescription drugs and Doctors are paid at a fixed per patient

rate. The nation should not choose this policy because allthough it provides

adequate health care to people and alows people of all money classes to go to

the doctors it also costs alot of money. In 1989 alone more than $42 billion was

spent providing health care.

With a little help these other nations the new nation should have a

bright future.
