Question from a Reader:
What is the reason behind the liberal media elevating Aiko-sama while disparaging Hisahito-sama?
Reflections on Aiko-sama and Hisahito-sama
Recently, I received a question regarding the trend of elevating Aiko-sama while disparaging Hisahito-sama. To be honest, this topic is incredibly intriguing. As someone who has studied psychology, I am always contemplating how people’s sentiments and opinions are formed.
The extensive coverage of Aiko-sama can be attributed to her unique position. While she may have the possibility of becoming a female emperor, Hisahito-sama carries the weight of being a male heir. Given this backdrop, how the liberal faction and the media handle this theme is a matter that directly relates to the future of the country.
Personal Feelings and Societal Reactions
I have personally experienced a shift in my impression of Hisahito-sama. There was a moment when I was talking with a university friend, and the topic of Hisahito-sama’s rumored entrance into a school through back channels came up. My friend remarked, “He is just an ordinary high school student, so it’s understandable that he receives special treatment,” but I couldn’t help but wonder, “Is that really acceptable?” Ultimately, it was a moment that made me reflect on how his character and actions might influence the public’s perception. On the other hand, I have a deep respect for Aiko-sama’s grace and intelligence. I am unsure of the position she will hold in the future, but I have hope that she can serve as a symbol for the nation. Particularly, her willingness to express her own opinions and communicate is a form of leadership that is much needed in today’s world.
Conservative and Liberal Perspectives
I can understand why conservatives support Aiko-sama. From the standpoint of valuing the lineage of male heirs, many voices wish for Hisahito-sama to ascend the throne. However, from a liberal perspective, pursuing the possibilities of a female emperor or a female-led lineage should be an essential discussion when considering the future of Japan. How should the imperial system change, or should it remain unchanged? I believe this is a theme that every citizen should have an opinion on. In my own experience working at a judicial scrivener’s office, I feel that as my understanding of laws and systems deepens, I must remain sensitive to societal changes.
Conclusion
When contemplating such complex issues, I believe it is crucial to reflect on how our own values and beliefs have been shaped. I want to continue considering how our opinions and emotions influence society. I encourage readers to share their thoughts on this topic in the comments.
