I would like to work WFP. WFP is 国連世界食糧計画 in Japanese. This work can contribute to the development of the developing country. It helps people troubled with a disaster. I think it is not a simple thing to save people of the poverty. But I think the work to help a person is very nice.

Work Place Questionairre
My score is 28 on a scale of 0 to 100 = Preference for Tolerance for Ambiguity
My score indicates that you have a moderate Tolerance for Ambiguity and might be willing to give up job security for more opportunity. In countries/cultures with a Tolerance for Ambiguity, conflict in organizations is perceived as natural, and rules may be broken for pragmatic reasons. If you work in countries/cultures with a Need for Certainty, such as Japan, France, and Greece, you might react by creating a micro-environment that would shield you from the burden of what you might perceive as excessive structures, rules, and regulations. In countries with a high Need for Certainty, loyalty to an employer is seen as an advantage; a specialist career is preferred over a career in management.
The countries you requested are listed below. The numbers in parentheses refer to the country scores as listed by Professor Geert Hofstede in his book Culture's Consequences:
China (78) Need for Certainty, a preference for an environment that is more structure-oriented, and where rules, roles and management practices are clear and unambiguous
USA (46) Tolerance for Ambiguity, a moderate preference for an entrepreneurial environment which is less bound by rules and regulations

Welcome Colgate University Students!
I talked to Colgate University Student. We talked about a difference of the life in Japan and U.S.A.
Q. When did you sleep with a parent in separate rooms?
-I said that I didn't sleep with parents from 16 years old. But she said that she didn't sleep with parents since she was born. We were surprised at each other's answers. In U.S.A, she took the bath by herself since a child, too.
