Prejudice and Brainwash in Election and Education
(Les préjugés et brainwash à l'élection et à l'éducation)
Yesterday I reviewed the video of the debate between “Hillary” and “Obama” presented by ABC.
Mr. Obama looked defensive without being aggressive at all, as if he could not have any supporters there.
So, this morning I tried a little simulation on 2008 Presidential Election as follows:

Yesterday, I also went to a bookstore and bought a book written by Ms. O Son Fa, a Korean Japanese woman who conquered anti-Japanese brainwash she had experienced in Korea to be an admirer of Japan and Japanese the virtue of which is supported by the Japanese version of Buddhism.
One day, while she was still under a strong influence of anti-Japanese education of Korea though working in Japan, she met a Taiwanese. So, she said, “You must have been taught every bad thing about Japan and Japanese in school in Taiwan?” The Taiwanese said, “Yes.”
So, Ms. O Son Fa further said, “Then, you came to despise and hate Japanese, didn’t you?” Her friend from Taiwan that had been long under Japanese occupation before WWII replied, “No."
"In my home and community, everybody talked about Japanese in the opposite way. (So, I came to Japan with due respect to Japan and Japanese)” said the young Taiwanese.
Ms. O Son Fa gradually got rid of anti-Japanese ideology she had been taught in school in Korea so as to become an admirer of Japan and Japanese the virtue of which is supported by the Japanese version of Buddhism.
(Yet, she was attacked in various ways, though not physical assaults, by many Korean prostitutes living in Japan, as another book she had written depicted their lives so real...Even the South Korean Government reportedly harassed her returning home to Korea due to her writing against the anti-Japanese ideology...)
