In this week's address, the President highlighted the problems in our criminal justice system. Our country faces a vicious cycle of poverty, criminality, and incarceration that traps too many Americans and weakens too many communities.

 「大統領は今週の話で、わが国の刑事司法制度の問題を強調した。わが国は貧困、犯罪、そして投獄という非常に危険なサイクルに直面している。それは多くのアメリカ人に罠をしかけ、多くの共同体を弱体化する」

★Extra Extra Example

・As we studied in Chapter 5, the DHL/NYU survey that tracks the movement of four things (i.e., people, money, goods, and ideas) shows a decline of movements of people, goods, and money, but information flows increased tremendously. Based on this observation, Gillian Tett of The Financial Times highlighted, “the globalisation of information fuels global ecommerce, making cross-border supply chains more flexible — and boosting collaboration in areas such as vaccine research.”  She then argued, “Covid-19 has caused globalisation to mutate, but not killed it off. Indeed, 2021 might yet deliver a surprising recovery.” Phase one of globalization may end, but simply advance to Phase two. This means the risks we are experiencing from the coronavirus disease now will never disappear. We need to learn from today's lessons to restructure and reconstruct how we respond to the crisis to prepare for the future.
