Movies

Do movies have influence on people’s lives? Even if it is fiction, it seems that the film I am currently using in my class seems to be strangely very similar to my experience. The film is an NHK tv drama ハケンの品格(Haken no Hinkaku). It is about the problems of the increasing numbers of part-time contract employees in companies and how their part-time salaries and work is affecting the regular employee’s salary. The discussion of accountability and responsibility of the company and how these part-time contracted employees cannot be held responsible because they are only in the company for such a short period of time. The reason why most companies use these part-time employees is mainly because they are cost effective.
