School, both in Nago City, watched a play to learn about
these two topics, which are closely related.
The play showed scenes of bullying.
Everyone thought about the importance of accepting
each other's differences rather denying them.

In India, a type of paper money, which people had
regularly used, was suddenly taken out of circulation,
creating confusion.
Travel writer Yuji Shimokawa, who was in India at that
time, told us about his experience.
In Okinawa also during the reversion to Japan in 1972,
the money that people used changed from dollars to yen.
Whenever a currency changes, it really is a big deal,
isn't it?
