2021社会学留学申请书

Dear _,

The rapidly growing elderly population is becoming a serious social problem in many countries. Some countries have been successful at finding solutions for this problem but others have not. Japan is one of the latter countries. Although Japan has one of the highest life expectancy rates and a reputation for good quality of life for its elderly population, it has been unsuccessful at addressing this problem. Compared to other industrialized countries, Japan lags behind in programs for elders who are physically disabled, bedridden or in need of long term care. The current economic crisis is exacerbating this situation as the government is cutting funding for elder programs. This problem resonates deeply with me, and I hope to someday work on finding a solution. It is for this reason that I am applying to the graduate program in social work at Boston University: I seek the skills and knowledge I need to return to Japan and work for a social work service.

My interest in the elderly dates back to my childhood. Growing up with my grandparents greatly influenced my values and personality: they taught me to be self-motivated and disciplined. Their resilience and support has helped me to persevere even when confronted with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Because of their kindness toward me I have a deep respect for them and for elderly people in general. This is what motivates me to become involved in the field of social work. Traditionally in Japanese society, the care of one's parents is believed to be the children's duty. After World War II, such traditions have evolved due to changes in family structure. No longer is the eldest child the only one to inherit his parent's property, and two-income families have become the norm. These changes have left Japanese people at a loss as to how to care for their aging parents. The current response to this problem seems to be hospitalization. Families increasingly hospitalize their elders who are physically disabled, bedridden or in need of long-term care. These individuals are usually transferred to nursing homes, but because of sparse accommodations and a one to two year wait list, they end up staying with family members who are often ill equipped to care for them. As a result, there are a number of incidences of elder abuse by family members and elder suicide. Also, there are many other elderly people who live alone--every year, many of them die with no one, not even their family members, having knowledge of their death.

Currently there is no social welfare program in Japan that offers assistance to these elders and their families. In the light of these terrible problems, the need for such a program is obvious. My interest in social work is to find ways to develop and improve the types of services available to the elderly in Japan at a systematic level. I want to be involved in the organizing, managing, developing, shaping and planning of social policies related to the elderly. I believe the social work program at Boston University will allow me to do that. By studying macro social work at Boston University, I will learn about established social systems, assessment and intervention strategies. In addition, Boston University's emphasis on urban issues appeals to me immensely. As I will be returning to work in Osaka, the second largest city in Japan, graduate work in this area will better equip me for the challenges I will be facing. To me, an urban mission is a commitment to identify and find solutions to issues faced by urban areas. I believe I am well prepared for graduate work.

During my undergraduate study, I acquired the necessary background knowledge by taking advanced courses in the areas of psychology and sociology, including sociological research methods, social theory, statistics, psychological research, and psychotherapy. Along with these courses, I had an internship at the Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence, a non-profit organization. I also volunteered at Sawayakaen, a nursing service, and Asunaro Children's Mental Hospital in Japan. From this internship and my volunteer work, I have gained practical experience that I feel will contribute to my academic and professional success. I expect the graduate work at Boston University to be demanding, challenging, and ultimately rewarding. I look forward to the experience from an intellectual as well as social point of view--I hope to learn and grow as an individual and a macro social worker. I hope that I will be allowed to do so at Boston University.

Yours sincerely,

瑞典留学要了解的常识

1、货币

瑞典克朗由国际货币符号SEK标示。一克朗为100分。有面额为20、50、100、500和1000克朗的银行纸币和面额为1、5和10克朗的硬币。所有的主要银行卡和信用卡在瑞典都广为使用。(1欧元=约9瑞典克朗)

2、药品

医院开的处方药可以在叫做“apotek”的药房领取。这种药房在正常购物时间都会营业。24小时营业的药房一般只有在大城市才有。如果你在服药，在前往瑞典前带足。

非处方药可能会在超市或加油站也有售。

紧急情况和紧急求助电话

如果发生紧急情况，请拨112联系警察、消防队或医院。在付费电话上拨打紧急电话是免费的。

3、ID卡

身份证或ID卡(瑞典语叫legitimation)是一张登记有持有人照片和人口号的卡。持有ID卡会有助于你与瑞典的任何国家机关打交道，也能让你在银行开户变得更容易。要获得瑞典身份证，你必须登记为瑞典居民(见上述民事登记部分)。
