Daughter: "Do you want to say that "Chuuni-byou"(behaving in a way characteristic of teenager) is needed for the collapse and going well with our society ?"
Ebata:"That's right, but there are more some stories.
-----
I don't know in detail, but I can pick up the following issues,
The Cultural Revolution of China, (former Soviet Union) Stalin purge in Russia, Slaughter of Cambodian Pol Pot, and Rumanian Ceausescu Administration recently
Well, needless to say Japanese militarism before the Pacific War, and Islamic fundamentalism of ISIS, too.
Those nations had given children a complete "Q and A" as a set menu in so-called compulsory education process.
You said, "Adults should have given us the answer first", the nation had kept giving children an answer willingly, like your hope.
The contents of this set menu were all same, from socialism education, communism education to program to educate other nations as subjects of the Japanese emperor.
"The social contradiction is completely going to be solved in future society based on principles of our country."
"You believe these principles, don't have to have a question and should do as we (nation) order"
They only persuaded children to them.
In other words, the education had been no room to suffering from "Chuuni-byou".
What will the result be?
- The children who informed the secret police about one's parent who did the government criticism,
- The children who didn't hesitate to skewer infants who didn't not stop crying, only for a reason called annoying (because of noisy),
were mass-produced.
These are true stories.

"Chuuni-byou" is the first style of right social criticism mind.
We adults, never have an intention to make full of young people, even if they seem to give a slight smile.
Believe or not, we adults feel proud of young people (sometimes),
Therefore, come on to me with Chuuni-byou infection.
You don't have to say something you feel to understand.
For this disease history, I am still a senior predominantly.
