Only 5,000 homeless in a country with 124 million people it's hard to know the precise numbers given they would hide in plain sight. But, still very impressive. I did speak to my Japanese girlfriend about this before though, the 'slum' in Osaka is not such at all. Infact, i walked through it once i didn't realise until i was told that later. Thesedays, its better to call it a low income neighborhood as the government has done alot to help those in need. Furthermore, she was proud to say that the homeless can make enough for their needs by collecting recycles. This should be encouraged in u.k, u.s etc as its elevates poverty and helps recycle and does a common service for the people. I live in Ibaraki city, Osaka prefecture. Its a suburb. I saw only 2 homeless men in 2 1/2 years of living here and he didn't trouble anyone. They renovated the park he used to like to sit under the rain protected seating area, i guess it wasn't too his taste as it become more open so he moved on. Good luck to them all.
Q The biggest difference that you will realize here is that while crazy homeless people do exist and they're more predominant in America. There is this automatic assumption that all homeless people are dangerous and crazy, so you'll notice that there are no police officers running around beating the crap out of them and tearing down their living arrangements. If you treat people like cattle, they're going to act like cattle. If we want to elevate people, we need to give them respect.
Many of them prefer a carefree lifestyle. Even if the government gives them an apartment or welfare, they often find themselves homeless again after a while.
I've been homeless before and it sucks...but that made me laugh pretty good when the narrator said "he specializes in collecting cans" Lol, I want to see his qualifications. Like, how many years of school did it take to get that degree? Not laughing at him or homeless people, but rather the absurd mention of specialization.
This ist Cuba,thats why i Loved Cuba so much!Just Take a Look to other latinamerikan countrys -like Guatemala -the Village i Lived in,at night half of the Kits we're srceeming becouse of Hunger!!
The mythical founder of Shugendo was En-no-Gyoja. He was active in the Nara area. There are active practitioners in Nara Precture. Mount Katsuragi in nara is where the religion started, per legend. It is also associated with Shingon and Tendai Buddhism. I was cycling in nara prefecture near Mount Katsuragi and there were many signs talking about En-no-Gyoja.
They are not beggars. It seems that many of them have lost the will to live and have fallen into this state. Therefore, they are not averse to working, and even if there were to be an emergency like the ones in American movies, they would not attack shops or supermarkets. When Japanese people see footage on the news of supermarkets being attacked by mobs in America and other places, they are always surprised. There have been several major earthquakes in Japan recently, but such incidents have not occurred there. Westerners probably cannot understand this.
Great video. Long Island Great, South Bay Baymen from 1969 to 1979. What a life, A "Paradise Lost" Much enjoyed checking out your equipment. I was a raker too.
Thank you, Alan! It was lovely how they accepted her with open arms. This is so much more common than the negative stuff we see on the nightly news....
@@OurHumanPlanet i worked as newspaper reporter/editor for 25 years the last 10 of which at our local paper where i focused on positive stories i learned there is a huge hunger for positive news folks including myself are sick of negative news it is one of the main reasons for so much divisiveness in our nation and world Karin keep up the good work of truthful journalism
A kindred spirit! I've spent the past three years filming positive stories about good people in America just to remind everyone that there is an awful lot of quiet good happening out there. Glad to know you're sick of the negativity too!
@@OurHumanPlanet if you ever make it to the charlotte area stop by and visit my wife and i we live near belmont abbey in a log house with a big State Lunatic Asylum sign out front and a life size pink metal pig gate guardian
How can I possibly refuse an invitation like that! :) Sadly, I am on the other coast at the moment. Could you possibly find me on Facebook and friend me so that I can send you my contact info in case our paths have the chance to cross someday? Look for the same profile pic (with the silly hat), not the Our Human Planet page (with a lightbulb)... Thank you, Alan!
यह आदमी 90 साल का है जो चढ़ाई कर रहा है और आजकल के 20 साल के नौजवान चार सीढ़ी के बाद मे,मैं तो थक गया।This man is 90 years old and he is climbing and today's 20 year old youth, after four stairs, I got tired.
Everyone WAS incredibly friendly! You're going to love Taishan (and if you get tired there's always the bus or cable car :) ). Love from the American Pacific Coast!
It's the one thing about Asian cultures that I respect and approve of most heartedly they keep the old traditions alive so even if the world goes to s*** these people still have a way to survive because I know the original way of doing things where a lot of the world will not be able to have that Grace and ability
Mighty Time taking It would cost a Fortune round here-maybe does there-HENCE A TRUE ART-glad the tradition remains I enjoy Learning about traditional ways from around the world !
