Migrate 3
June 21, 2016
Time zone changed the idea of thinking little by little.

In the Internet world, people at first thought like, "I can do business all around the world," "I can make friends from all over the world," and/or "I can show my performance to people all over the world."  Especially after the advanced translation system was invented, this type of idea, 'I own the world!' quickly spread. But, soon, people realized that they didn't own anything.  

In modern society, ways to access others has increased dramatically; but, always, we only have 24 hours in the day. Our life span is still limited by our longevity. Furthermore, we are limited to what can do at any given moment:

We can't listen to two types of music at the same time. We can't write two emails at the same time. We can't play two sports at the same time.

Of course, you could send your email to as many acquaintances as possible, but their time is limited as well. They can't read two emails at the same time.

People's welfare is limited by their living hours. Usually in the morning time, their brain works well, but at night they feel fatigued.

Another limited issue is the place that you live. You can't live in two places at the
same time. You might be disgusted by your neighbor's noise. You might be disgusted by your friend's old ways of thinking. Many people in your country might have prejudice of others. People in your county might be too self-defensive. One might feel many walls, barriers, hurdles, and difficulties between others.  

Hence, this is another reason why people migrated: They wanted to escape from the things that they believed were not good.  

Some people realized that they didn't need to move. And, these people started to use their time zone as a solution.


For example:
One school teacher announced an open class. Another teacher in another country applied for it.
The class started like this.
The teacher asked his students as follows:
You went to the park to play with your friends.
You saw a girl sobbing.
You asked the girl why she was sobbing and the girl replied that she was bullied. You can see other girls watching you in the distance. You asked your other friends to come over, but they said that they wanted to play.  
What are you going to do?

Actually, the teacher once had tried to have a collaboration class with two classes in his own country but no teachers applied, so he gave up at that time. But, thanks to the translation system, he could ask teachers in other countries.

In his class, students started to speak their opinions one after another.

The other teacher asked her student about it, but nobody answered. They were too shy to answer in front of the other country's students. So she switched to Plan B. She divided her students into a certain role.

In the male teacher's class, the students were watching on their tablet computer, thinking about what would happen.
Her students started to play. The bullied girl was sobbing. The boy who had asked the reason was at a loss about what to do. The other friends were playing soccer. The ball happened to roll among the girls who bullied the girl. The other children hesitated. The boy took the bullied girl to go get the ball. When there, he asked who the boss of the group was …

At first, the two teachers thought that this class might fail because the situation of children were different in each country. Their parents' way of discipline was also different. The two teachers talked to each other many times.

As a result, for the students, to watch other country's students' reaction towards being a bully or being bullied was fresh. But, on the other hand, they found that bullying was universal.
