Criteria for Foreigners’ Adaptation and Maintaining Social Order: Implementing a Deduction-Based System for a Stable Japanese Society

As the number of foreigners in Japan increases, the question of how well they adapt to Japanese society is becoming more pressing. While foreigners who adapt to Japanese culture should be welcomed, those who cannot adapt pose a risk to the social harmony that Japan values. To ensure a stable society, we propose a system where individual behavior is evaluated through a deduction-based system, and those who consistently disrupt social order face deportation or mandatory labor.

Adaptation Criteria and the Introduction of a Deduction System

In Japanese society, there are clear expectations for behavior in public spaces, and foreigners, like Japanese citizens, are expected to follow these societal norms. Disruptive behavior in public, or actions that violate the established rules of order, should be penalized through a "deduction system" that assesses each foreigner’s adherence to societal rules.

Criteria for Deductions

Deductions would be applied based on actions such as:

- Disruptive behavior or excessive noise in public transportation or facilities

- Littering or illegal waste disposal

- Acts of disrespect or violation of social norms within communities

- Engaging in illegal activities or crimes

Accumulating Deductions and Response Measures

When a foreigner's deductions reach certain thresholds, different levels of response would be taken:

- Minor violations:

Community service or mandatory participation in educational programs

- Moderate violations:

Fines or temporary restrictions on activities

- Severe violations or reaching 0 points:

Deportation or assignment to mandatory labor as a form of social contribution

The Need for Deportation or Mandatory Labor

Foreigners who fail to adapt and repeatedly engage in disruptive behavior can undermine the stability of Japanese society. Simple fines or educational measures may not be enough for those who continually fail to respect societal norms. In such cases, deportation or mandatory labor should be considered as a final measure to maintain public order and ensure that those who do not contribute positively to society are held accountable.

Mandatory labor serves as a means for these individuals to repay their debt to society, while also providing them with a final opportunity to adjust to Japan's expectations and norms.

Necessary Measures to Preserve Public Order

By introducing this deduction-based evaluation system, foreigners in Japan will be encouraged to integrate more effectively, following the rules and customs of the country. Clear penalties for violations will reinforce the importance of respecting Japan’s social order. Furthermore, this system will allow for fair and objective evaluations of behavior, prompting foreigners to reflect on their actions and understand the consequences.
