whale
Whale meat. An extremely powerful food, yet a food that questions the resident’s history and culture at the same time. As civilization evolves, more and more people forget about our food-culture. While it can act as a useful food ingredient that provides a lot of people with powerful food, its potential can also solve problems about famine. Meat in the whale can give a lot of people without difficulty cooking . In the near future that awaits, this is not a problem that can be ignored for both the national and the hunters. In order to build a better environment about eating in Japan, there needs to be a way to properly deal with the Europian-culture problem so that it will be benefiting the whole
The first reason is that they grant hunters fair rules to whales. This is something that can be disturbed in the ocean on a hunting whale, where hunters focus on their whole and hunt during the hunting, or while waiting for the whole. For instance, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society can attack the Japanese ships when they are supposed to be hunting, and be hunting whales . As the western counties affect more and more accessibility to us, the more distracted they will be from them. With this, their thinking will gradually never stop for a long time, and it may end up greatly affecting our life. Though access to the whale can be a great help and be very useful, that does not mean that all people will always be on what they are supposed to be. With the evidence above, unlimited access to whales is becoming a growing problem in culture based world cultures.
Other than access to eastern countries, another reason why we should eat whales is because of environmental protection .This refers to biology , as well as the problem may cause for the people around them. For example, It was "Australian" (August 1 date). According to the local correspondent,"The bereaved and the meeting of the 17 years old girl who Minister of the Environment fried food den Bergh was surfing according to the article at the shore of Western Australia on July 31, and was sacrificed for the shark. It was to have provided instructions to investigate it for the scientific industrial study mechanism of the governmental research institute as soon as possible whether it was causally associated with the increase of the shark surprise attack case and increase of the number of the habitation of the whale afterwards" With the reasons above, I conclude that whole can give in the way of eating in Japan as more and more of it becomes importance. The main reasons for this is because of access to culture, biology. While it may be a good resource, and definitely be a great tool for research, it just might have far too much potential for the nation to handle.

Re: Philosophical insight from comparison
Hi Olena,
an interesting coincidence is that Irish uses a similar idiom for possession to that used in Russian, e.g. English “I have a book” = Russian «У меня есть книга» (literally “At mine is book”) = Irish “Tá leabhar agam” (literally “Is book at-me”). Irish uses a different idiom for ownership, though, e.g. English “I own a book” = Irish “Is liom leabhar” (literally “Is to-me book” — like many Romance languages, Irish has two different “be” verbs). Which Russian verb would be used for the verb “own” — «владеть»? «обладать»? Since Russian has verbs that correspond to “own”, wouldn’t that indicate that it would be possible for something to completely belong to a Russian-speaking person?

Philosophical insight from comparison
I found this insight in one of the Russian articles about impressions of English speaking students about difficulties of learning and understanding Russians and their language:
"Одна штука в различиях между нашими языками показалось мне интересной: в английском мы говорим «I have» («я имею»), а в русском — «у меня есть», что дословно будет означать в моем языке «at me there is». Русские не используют выражение «я имею», ну или в каких-то очень редких случаях, и я думаю, это как-то отражает наши взгляды на категорию обладания. Может быть, через выражение «у меня есть» передается ощущение, что обладать чем-то по-настоящему невозможно, и предмет просто существует рядом, у тебя, но никогда не принадлежит тебе полностью." ["One thing about the differences between our languages seemed interesting to me: in English we say “I have”, and in Russian - “у пеня есть,” which literally means “at me there is” in English. The Russians do not use the expression "I have," or only in some very rare cases, and I think this somehow reflects our views on the category of ownership. Perhaps, through the expression “у меня есть” the feeling is conveyed that it is really impossible to possess something, and the object simply exists nearby, with you, but it never belongs to you completely."]
