I’m writing this essay because I’ve heard many child abuse news every day here in Japan. All of them are heart-wrenching stories. Mass media make a great fuss about immature parents. I’m thinking about what’s wrong, or whose fault. Probably this essay does not disclose any answer, but I think parents may be a kinds of victim and there are something wrong in our societies. Please allow me to write my ideas as I feel even if it does not make a sense.

There are so many kinds of “markets”. “A private assistance market” is one of the markets which work based on market mechanisms without regulations. Private assistance depends on personal donations and volunteers. While, “official assistance” is a social welfare, which means that it is not bound by market principles.
Let me compare adults and children. Elder people can get a lot of supports from official assistance, but children have an advantage in case of private assistance. For example, speaking of organ transplantation, people are willing to donate for a little child, but it is hard for an elder man to get enough donation even if he is poor. It means children are more competitive than adults under private assistance market.
Say another example, more people donate for poor people in Africa and few people donate for homeless in your own country. Thus you would say that African people are more competitive than homeless in your country under private assistance. (That’s example, so the opposite is true.)
In private assistance people can choose any target as they like. There is not rule such as poorer people deserve to be helped. I think what strong segments are in this market;
1. Children; they are pretty and cute. People love to see their happiness. They don’t say critics and drivel. They are the strongest segment in private assistance.
2. Looks Good; Looks is very important whatever you like. Shabby, but not dirty. Pure, not but crooked. They are poor people who don’t have any advantage of you.
3. Sounds Good; Some people don’t want to pay for living expanse, but they’ll pay for education. Some people want to contribute for something elegant. You may hear that Japanese people like to spend their money for education, European people like to pay for eco or mammal such as wholes or dolphins. For American people, I’m not sure, right or arts or something like that.
4. Close, but invisible; In Japan, Asia donation is more popular than Africa, Cambodia is more popular than China, and oversea donation is better than domestic. As you know, donation have a lot of problem such as a rip-off, a controlling, a rake-off, and so on. You don’t want to see a dirty side. Therefore distance is another important factor.
Think all of above, A true weakness might be people who don’t have any competitiveness even in private assistance.

Thank you for your reading my long essay. I would happy to hear any your comments.
Ciao.

I’m writing this essay because I’ve heard about many child abuse happenings every day here in Japan.
Mass media makes a great fuss about immature parents.
I’m thinking about what’s wrong, or who is at fault.
This essay probably does not disclose any specific answer, but I think parents may be a kind of victim and there is something wrong in our societies.
Please allow me to write my ideas as I feel them even if they do not make a sense.
A “private assistance market” is one of the markets whose work is based on market mechanisms without regulations.
Elderly people can get a lot of support from official assistance, but children find advantages in private assistance instead.
For example, in the case of organ transplantation, people are willing to donate for a little child, but it is hard for an elderly man to get enough have access to donated organs even if he is poor.
This is an example of how children are more competitive than adults under private assistance markets.
Another example could be when more people donate to poor people in Africa and few people donate to the homeless in your own country.
Thus, you could say that African people are more competitive than homeless in your country under private assistance.
(That’s an example of how the opposite is true.)
In private assistance, people can choose who to support as they like.
There is no such rule that poorer people deserve to be helped.
I think what strong segments --> ? are in this market;
People love to see them be happy.
They don’t criticize or drivel.
They are the strongest group to receive private assistance.
2.Those who look good; Looks are very important.
It helps to look shabby, but not dirty or gross.
Pure and not crooked.
They are also poor people who don’t have any advantage of you.
3. Those who sound good; Some people don’t want to pay for living expenses, but they’ll pay for education.
Some people want to contribute to something elegant.
You may hear that Japanese people like to spend their money on education. Conversely, European people like to pay for eco-friendly reasons or mammal protection for animals like whales or dolphins.
For American people, I’m not sure. Human rights, arts or something like that.
4. More noticeably, Japanese prefer to donate to Asian causes over African. Also, Cambodia is more popular than China, and overseas donations are better off than domestic.
But as you know, donation groups have a lot of problems such as ripping people off, a controlling, a rake-off,--->? and so on.
People don’t want to see the dirty side.
Therefore, distance is another important factor.
If one thinks about all of the above, a true weakness might be people who don’t have even any competitiveness in private assistance.
The real helpless people in this world (this sentence is very hard to translate...this is my try :D)

There are so many kinds of “markets” when we talk about donation.
“A private assistance market” is one of the markets which operate based on market mechanisms and are without regulations.
Private assistance comes from personal donations and voluntary activities.
On the other hand, “official assistance” is a type of social welfare, which means that it is not bounded by market principles.
For example, in the case of organ transplantation, people are willing to donate for a little child, but it is hard for an elderly man to get enough have access to donated organs even if he is poor.
Thus, you could say that African people are more competitive than homeless people in your country under private assistance.
Below are what I think are the favored recipients in this market;
{Not sure what you mean here...}
4. Close, but not noticeable; In Japan, donations to Asia are more popular than to Africa, Cambodia is more popular than China, and overseas donations are better than domestic ones.
As you know, donation have a lot of problem such as corruption, deception, and so on.
If one thinks about all of the above, the people who are truly weak might be the people who are disadvantaged in private assistance.
My girlfriend works for a NGO specialized in giving out financial assistance to children with good grades in Vietnam. Sometimes we have a debate on the pros and cons of charity work. My personal opinions on this issue are the following:
1. Instead of provide material goods (such as money, food, water, shelter, etc.) which the recipient will spend right away, it is better to provide things with long-term results, such as education.
2. It is better to care for children than old people, not because children are cute, but because if they are well cared for, they will grow up and repay society many many times over, whereas old people will only grow older and die. For old people they only need basic care (like homes for the elderly).
3. Instead of helping the poor, it is better to improve the lives of the middle class and assist the people who would otherwise become poor. Open a school, build a bridge, fix the electrical grids, improve water cleanliness etc. Why? Because when the middle class become the upper class thanks to these improvements, they in turn will start donating money to the poor. And what they can donate will be many many times over the initial amount that you invested to help improve their lives.

Probably Perhaps, this essay does will not disclose any answers, but I think parents may be a kind of victim and there is something wrong in our societies.
Please allow me to write my ideas convey my thoughts as on how I feel even if it does not make a sense.
Meanwhile, “official assistance” is a social welfare, which means that it is not bound by market principles.
There is no such rule as poorer that people in poverty deserve to be helped.
They are the strongest segment in demographic to receive private assistance.
They are poor people who don’t have won't take any advantage of you.
I think the private market also gains more attention, particularly with children, because of the underlying fear that poor and harmed children affects the future population in various ways. The cycle of poverty would continue and possibly grow.
