当今日本进入社会问题多发的历史转型期,少子老龄化现象日益严峻、社会差距日渐拉大、人际关系日趋疏离。这些社会问题使得2015年的日本社会呈现一种“弥合”与“撕裂”相互交织的现象。“弥合”表现在政府为解决上述社会问题、缓和社会矛盾,出台了一系列政策和措施;“撕裂”则体现在历史认识、新安保法、冲绳基地搬迁以及核电站重启等问题上民众与政府之间、不同派别和团体之间的冲突与对抗。
Japan has entered a historical stage of transformation with the rise of various social issues nowadays,featuring a mixture of “gap-bridging” and “tearing-up” due to the problems of aging population and declining birthrate,the widening social gap and the weakening of interpersonal relationships. The “gap-bridging” is reflected by the policies implemented by the government in order to solve the problems above and alleviate social contradictions. The “tearing-up”,meanwhile,is reflected by the conflicts and confrontation between the people and the government as well as different social groups and factions over the issues relating to the new security bill,the relocation of Okinawa military bases and the restart of nuclear power plants.
