オリンピック賛歌
2021年8月8日、２０２０東京オリンピック閉会。コロナ渦の中よく此処までやったよね・・。
多種多様な意見が渦巻く中、菅首相は政治生命を掛けて決断し、開催に踏み切ったと思う。財政的には当初の目論見と大きく違い、相当きびっしい状況に追いやられ、下手すれば政権は持たなかったと思う。
国民の判断は大きく分かれ、閉幕後の内閣支持率は３５％と少し落ち込んだようであるが、ある意味おりこみ済みの結果では。私など個人的には非常に良かったと思う。少なくとも沈み込んでいるコロナ禍の社会に希望と明るさを与えたのは間違いないでしょう。メダルの数もさることながら、閉会式のテレビ視聴率が４８％強に達したのが何よりの証では・・。
SNS上での反響がどうなっているのかは知らないが、個人的に流れてくるSNSからの情報はマイナス思考にあふれ、非常に批判的なものが多い。
オリンピック批判もさることながら、最近はコロナワクチンの後遺症など、如何にも科学的な根拠にもとずくものの様に記され、相当拡散している様であるが、発信源は今一つハッキリしない。ただ、現状を悲観した批判的な情報であればあるほど、SNS上では蔓延する傾向があり、「これが真実。本当の本当は・・・」的な情報が流れてくる。
マスコミ情報もさることながらSNS上での情報を無暗に信じ拡散するのは如何なものかと強く感じている今日この頃である。
台風9号が猛暑を巻き込んで行ったようで、少し凌ぎやすくなって来た感じ。今週は大阪地方は雨模様が多く、一気に秋めくのではなかろうか❓。
西日除けに植えたゴーヤが今年も頑張ってくれている。後２～３週間は頑張ってもらいたいものだ
Olympic Anthem
The 2020 Tokyo Olympics will close on August 8, 2021. How did we make it this far in the corona vortex?
I think Prime Minister Kan made the decision to hold the Olympics with his political life on the line, despite the many and varied opinions swirling around him. Financially, the situation was very different from the original plan, and the government was forced into a very tight situation.
The public’s judgment was sharply divided, and the approval rating of the cabinet after the closing of the summit seems to have dropped a little to 35%, but in a sense, I think this was a foregone conclusion. Personally, I think it was very good. At the very least, it gave hope and brightness to the sinking society of the Corona disaster. Aside from the number of medals, the fact that the TV ratings for the closing ceremony reached over 48% is the best proof of all….
I don’t know what the response has been on social networking sites, but the information from social networking sites that flows to me personally is full of negative thoughts and very critical.
Aside from criticism of the Olympics, recently, information about the after-effects of the corona vaccine has been written as if it were based on scientific evidence, and it seems to have spread considerably, but the source of the information is still unclear. However, the more pessimistic and critical the information is, the more it tends to spread on SNS. The more pessimistic and critical the information is, the more it tends to spread on SNS, and the more “this is the truth, the real truth is…” kind of information flows.
The more critical the information, the more it tends to spread on SNS.
Typhoon No. 9 seems to have swept away the intense heat, and it seems to be getting a little easier to get through. This week, Osaka area will have a lot of rainy weather, and it will probably turn into autumn at once ?
The bitter gourd I planted to keep out the western sun is doing well again this year. I hope they will do well for another two to three weeks.
