Wed, June 11 2014 Discussion Question

We will be discussing two topics today. Please have a look at them and think a little before class. Come ready with an opinion.

1) Husbands should earn the most money in a family.
- Do the men in the family usually make more money in your home country?
- How would you feel if you (if your a woman) or your wife (if you are a man) made the most money?
- Is money a topic that is discussed by families?
- Is being a stay-at-home dad acceptable in your home country?


2) Doing a job you like is more important than earning a lot of money.
- Would you rather enjoy your job, or make a lot of money?
- When you are considering what classes to take in school, do you think about enjoying your future job, or making a lot of money? What are your parents expectations?
- Would you rather be in a relationship with someone who enjoys their job, or someone who makes a lot of money?


See you in class!

  1. I think that family is kind of team, so husband and wife should cooperate each other. I mean that it shouldn't be husband who earn the most in the family to support their life. Mother can make money to support their life. Miyabi Sekine

  2. 1)I think that it's no problem because it helps the household even if the wife makes more money.
    But now in Japan, most husband makes more money than wife.
    So, if I make more money than my husband, I will uncomfortable.

    2)I hope that I can do a job I like because if I do boring job to earn a lot of money, I will be boring everyday.
