Who am I? Who do I want to be?
I am a man who can talk with lots of different kinds of human beings. No matter what social identity you are,you are a government officer, businessman, officer stuff, student, homeless, artist or housewife, I can and I like to talk to you.
我是一个善于沟通的人。我可以和各种各样的人沟通，无论对方的社会身份是什么，并且我乐在其中。
I want to be that kind of person who could be a benefit to society.
我想做一个对社会有贡献的人。
What local and global problems am I aware of?
Local problems
Personally, I want some more friends. Not those types of friends which just say hi and goodbye when we meet. I'm caring about myself, that is the most important thing in this world.
我想交一些朋友。不是点头之交。我现在很关心我自己。
Global problems
Worldwide, the biggest problems should be wars.
I believe most countries are in an economic decline.
Energy crunch is still a problem even if oil reserves seem like enough for a while, but there is going to be a shortage one day.
现在世界上正在发生很多问题。战争也许是最大的问题。很多国家也在直面经济问题。能源问题也不可忽视。
What Sustainable Development Goals have I learned about?
Goal 5 Gender Equality
Information:Japan's new gender pay gap disclosure rules are set to be strengthened, requiring many Japanese firms to report new information by June next year.
Goal 5 Gender Equality
Information:The gender gap in pay has remained relatively stable in the United States over the past 20 years or so.
Goal 5 Gender Equality
Information:Although the gender wage gap in China during the transition period has an impact that is statistically significant and economically meaningful, it remains at a low level.
What did I do and learn in my fieldwork?
What was my research question?
Do apartments in Japan turn the light on all night， every night?
似乎日本的所有公寓会回开着走廊灯一整夜
Why is this important to me?
One day I went back home late, I saw light from an apartment, it was bright like the sun.
有一天我很晚回家，我注意到了这个问题，亮如白昼。
What did I do?
I walked around to see if that was true with my own eyes. And I took some photos.
我走访调查了附近的公寓，并且拍了照片。
What data did I collect?
All apartments I visited turn the light on.All apartments, everyday.
所有的公寓都开灯一整夜。
What trends did I find in the data?
Japanese people consider turning the lights on all night as a normal thing.
日本人认为整夜开灯是正常的事。
How does my fieldwork connect to my future?
I think I will still be alive for some years, so making this world better is good for myself. Then I hope human beings could save electric energy.
我希望人类都可以学会节约能源。
What do I think would be a useful project to work towards achieving the SDGs?
Short summary: Japanese people consider that leaving the lights on makes them feel safe, so I am trying to make a plan that can save energy and make them feel good. I suggest the neighborhood could make some groups. Maybe ten families in one group and they could use one light.
我希望可以有一个办法既节约能源，又可以让当地人感到安心。我建议可以以十个家庭为单位，公用一套照明设施。

Reflection
What I learned this semester: Caring about our environment more. Before this class, I didn’t care, or even know what SDGs are.
What I did well: I think I met some new friends.
What I could have done better:If I could set my goal more clearly at first, I could save some time to make my project better.
The connection to my future: I learned lots of things by taking this class. That should help me one day someday.
Advice for other students: Take Dr.deHaan’s class as much as possible.
