Position And The Violation Of Norway And Japan

Introduction According to researchers there have been over 15.000 whales killed in Japan and Norway since the 1900’s. Not to mention the amount of minke whales killed for research by the Japanese whaling fleets. In this assignment I will give my opinion on Japan’s continued killing of whales despite the ban on commercial whaling. Do you agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position on permitting the hunting of non -endangered species of whales as a culture exemption

Japanese positions on permitting whale hunting as a cultural exemption. As someone who was born in Norway, and has visited several whaling towns, I feel that I have some idea of the importance of whaling to Norwegian cultures and national identity. Although Japan is culturally and geographically a very different place to Norway, I feel that the importance of whaling to both cultures provides some similarities between the two nations. 1. Do you agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position on permitting

Do you agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position on permitting the hunting of non-endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption? I do not agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position on permitting the hunting of non-endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption because I just don't approve of whaling in general. I can however see their point. For the majority of a population in a village to depend upon whaling as their main income and/or food source would be really difficult

write about the exemption for whaling issue. Whaling has existed in Norway dating back to the 9th century, and in Japan it has existed since the 12th century. Today, although much of the whaling industry is centric around non-endangered species of whales, the practice raises an ethical debate worldwide. This practice is regulated by the International Whaling Commission (IWC).

Do you agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position on permitting the hunting of non-endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption? I do not agree with Norway and Japan’s position on the hunting of non-endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption. Even with the ban in place, these countries are continuing to hunt Minke whales, and their governments are highly subsidizing the product, almost 50% the gross value. (WDC, n.d.) Furthermore, recent research has shown that these countries

Japan is an island in the Pacific Ocean with a population of about 127.3 million people and is famous for its sushi dishes. Norway, on the other hand, is a Scandinavian country with a population about 5.084 million people. What do Japan and Norway have in common? Both countries have a unique culture involving whaling which continue to be a very controversial issue on the international arena including the Untied Nation. The whaling issue has being around for a long time and in addressing this matter

For instance, whaling which is a norm for the Norwegians and Japanese and this practice goes back centuries as in Japan as well as Norway. 1.

Both the Norwegians and the Japanese hunted the whales for food as well as a source of raw material for a variety of economic

BLITZKRIEG (LIGHTNING WAR) In the first phase of World War II in Europe, Germany sought to avoid a long war. Germany's strategy was to defeat its opponents in a series of short campaigns. Germany quickly overran much of Europe and was victorious for more than two years by relying on a new military tactic called the "Blitzkrieg" (lightning war). Blitzkrieg tactics required the concentration of offensive weapons (such as tanks, planes, and artillery) along a narrow front. These forces would

This second global conflict resulted from the rise of totalitarian, militaristic regimes in Germany, Italy, and Japan, a phenomenon stemming in part from the Great Depression that swept over the world in the early 1930s and from the conditions created by the peace settlements (1919—20) following World War I. After World War I, defeated Germany, disappointed Italy, and ambitious Japan were anxious to regain or increase their power; all three eventually adopted forms of dictatorship (see National

This short essay will reflect on whether whaling should be deemed permissible under the banner of cultural exec-tips. The argument is that whaling should continue of non end agreed species, that these denizens in both Japan and Norway have been whaling for centuries and should be allowed to do so in line with their traditions and cultural heritage. Also, the economic ramifications have to be considered in that there are many people which depend on hunting of whales for their livelihoods. Discussion
