     Recently in China, it has often occurred that nationalism grows in the internet space. It was found in not only anti-Japan demonstrations in 2005 but also patriotism movements of the United States and France. It is said that factors on the linkage between collective memories and the identity is explained with three perspectives of primitive, constructivism and instrumental. However, the internet nationalism in China cannot be fully explained by that. In this paper, the internet nationalism of China is demonstrated from the socio-psychological aspect, covering the cases of “Yellow Ribbon” Campaign, “Hongke” the hacker collective and the anti-Japan sentiment.

      Studies on Japanese settlers in colonial Korea are taking on a new aspect. Recent studies, at the least, are assuming a different standpoint from existing researches, which view Japanese settlers as 'spearheads of invasion.' Simply put, studies of colonial era are welcoming a turning<br>point, breaking away from the dichotomous frame of determining 'either exploitation or modernization.
      The purpose of this study is to classify Japanese settlers in colonial Korea by generation and to specifically investigate the experience and awareness of the second generation settlers through literature and stories they left behind. The second generation settlers refer to Japanese people who immigrated to the colony when they were young or were born in the colony. Most of them returned to Japan after Japan's defeat in World War II. Their mental structure formed in the midst of dynamic experiences of the time show complicated aspects.
      The second generation settlers who had returned to Japan after the 1945 defeat started to publish memoirs and stories since the 1970s. Examining these literature, it was found that the sense of incompatibility among the second generation settlers for the post-war Japanese society, which seemed to have healed over with the rapid economic growth of Japan that began right after the post-war famine, was still prevalent among these generation. Muramatsu Takeshi, a poet and a third generation of colonial Korea, described such identity of second generation settlers of colonial Korea as 'half Japanese-half Korean.' These second generation Japanese settlers of colonial Korea are people who revive the colonial memory that post-war Japan have been neglecting. In other words, they act as a bridge between the Imperial Japan and the Japan today. This is the very reason why the present study underlines the history and consciousness structure of the second generation Japanese settlers of colonial Korea.

     School bullying is recognized as a public issue in Mainland China, Taiwan and Japan, and anti-bullying programs in three societies have been performed for more than a decade. In order to prevent school bullying, a number of agencies including school, police, administrative, counselor and social worker are participating in the programs, and the school plays as a major performer of bullying prevention programs in each society. However, the role of school required for each bullying prevention program always differs from each other as a result of differences in institutional contexts.<br> This paper aims to clarify the diverse roles of schools and the responsibility division between school and other agencies in the current anti-bullying programs of Mainland China, Taiwan and Japan. To construct the analysis strategy, I briefly reviewed the sociological studies about the function of school in Section 2, and adopt the idea of “dispositif” advocated by Michel Foucault for understanding the roles of school in three societies. In Section 3, I made an analysis about the bullying recognition, prevention, and role of school in anti-bullying program of the three societies by using the official documents issued by the Ministry of Education in Mainland China, Taiwan and Japan. In Section 4, I summarized the features, especially the technology of current anti-bullying programs of Mainland China, Taiwan and Japan as “Punishment Type”, “Disciplining Type” and “Risk-decreasing Type”. As a further step, I verified that bullying prevention technology, which provides both a structure and a field for school in an anti-bullying program, is an important clue for understanding the role of school and responsibility division between school and other actors.

     A purpose of this report is to consider operation and the inequity of the farmer mechanic in China. Systems reform over the issue of operation of the farmer mechanic had been performed in the labor market of China for a long term, but, however, the operation of the farm village work force brought unequal society for regulation by the 2 yuan family registry system. As a result, the problem about the labor operation of the farmer mechanic comes to be extensive. I promote operation nationally and take responsibility for fixing the condition to raise an operation rate, but, actually, it is limited in China by various factors. The farmer is an alliance to a mule, a worker, and there cannot be the discrimination, but there is originally the actual situation that I occupy 70% of population, and a quantitative superior farmer feels discrimination in front of city inhabitants. I make discrimination, and it may be said that a system to permit discrimination supports existence of this discrimination. Family registry system divided between a city and farm villages is it. The operation discrimination of the farmer mechanic by the family registry system extends to the whole of the operation of the farmer mechanic. I set a limit to operation, and operation discrimination is the concrete expression. It is predicted in future in China that movement to take up a problem to be concerned with the operation that improvement is demanded from for a farmer mechanic immediately, the reward acquisition, occupation security, vocational training, labor dispute processing increases.
