It was an interesting video, we can see something wonderful by collecting statistics and using data.

Even baby name, when collecting statistics, we can find a tendency, for example, there are difference between black and white people how his or her parents name after, and especially black parents are likely to name their baby unique name. In this video, babies whose life was changed for better or worth by their name were picked up, I realized the importance of naming. In Japan, too, some parents name their babies the unique name so called “kira-kira name“, for exmple “光宙(pikatyuu)”, “七音(doremi)” , and “愛保(rabuho)”. I wonder whether their parents consider their baby’s life, though I can understand we become wanting to name rare and unique name. But we should think about their future.

Next, what impressed me was the method of improve students’ grade. The method was that if we can reach a certain standard, we can get money. What wonderful business it is! It’s unbelievable for Japan. This mehod take advantage of human psychology. I want to know what will happen when this comitment get start in Japan.

What’s the key words in this video was “incentive”. We always seek something incentive and it’s important to become honest to it.
