[28] 随筆 最近の人権問題の多様化 ”Recent diversification of human rights issues”
差別の内容は年々多様化し変化している
今年私は居住地区自治会の人権教育推進委員を拝命しているが、最近この委員の役割の内容が変化してきた。すなわち、住民に対して講演会や冊子の配布を通して住民から部落差別などの悪弊を排しようと言うのが元々の行政的な狙いであったが、最近部落差別の認識レベルが住民から薄れハラスメント。言葉使いなど職場や学校やクラブ活動での差別に対象が多様化し焦点が当たって変化して、委員の役割・仕事も変わって来た。その原因の一つが大学社会学部での差別についての研究が盛んとなり、差別の種類や原因の解析が精細~正確になってきたことが上げられるだろう。
多数派と少数派による意識的な差別
差別はある価値観についての多数派(Maority)と少数派(Minority)が存在することで生まれる。部落差別はマイクロアグレッション(通常良く行われるような言動または環境による軽蔑であり、意図するかしないかに拘わらず敵意・軽蔑・マイナスイメージ・侮辱を部落の人々に伝えること)であり、結果として少数派の被害者に精神的な多大の悪影響を与えている。同じような差別は、人種差別・在日外国人差別・性的差別(セクハラ)・障害者差別・介護差別・性差別などでも見られる。
無意識下の思い込み(アンコンシャス・バイアス)による差別
先日聞いた人権教育の教育講演で「アンコン語」なる新しい用語が出て来て戸惑ったが、これは「無意識のうちに思い込んで、悪気もなく相手に言ってしまう言葉が、実は相手にとって違和感~差別感を抱いたり傷ついたりしている……。そんな言葉のことをアンコンシャス・バイアス(unconscious
bias;無意識の思い込み)語、通称「アンコン語」と言い下記の様な沢山の例があるが、人権問題とし専門家に取り上げられている。最近の人権問題は大学で社会学部が研究を活発化していることもあって多様化・細分化が進んでいる様だ。
例えば、
①「社会人になっても実家暮らしなんて甘やかされているよね」
②「家事がしやすい間取りは奥さんが喜ぶね」
③「女性が家を買うなんてすごい!」
④「夫婦で新しい家を探すなら子供部屋も考えておかないと」
⑤「同棲ってことは結婚するんでしょ」
⑥「キッチンは女性が使うものだよね」
⑦「長男だからいずれ親と同居するでしょ」
⑧「引越しは子供がかわいそう」
⑨「都会に住んでいる人は冷たい」
⑩「定年後は田舎でのんびり暮らすのが良いでしょう」
⑪「子供がいないと老後は面倒を見てくれる人がいなくて大変」
⑫「長男・長女なんだから介護をしなきゃ」
⑬「親の介護は、子供がするものでしょ」
が「アンコン語」だと例に上げられていて、人の心を傷つけていないか・差別的でないかなど、気を付けようと注意が促されている。私の感覚では上の例①~⑬で言わないものは①、⑥、⑬くらいだと思うが「必ずしも」という条件付きで、他は日常的に会話に出てくると思われ、私も知人・友人との会話で自然の会話で使ってしまうかも知れない。
社会的~家庭内立場の強弱による差別
家庭内幼児差別、パワハラ・マタハラ(マタニティハラスメント)・セクハラ・アカハラ(これら3種が三大ハランスメントと言われている)カスハラ・モラハラ(モラルハラスメント)・アルハラ(アルコールハラスメント)・アルバイトハラスメント・ジェンハラ(ジェンダ ーハラスメント)・リスハラ(リストラハラスメント)・ジタハラ(時短ハラスメント)・エイハラ(エイジハラスメント)
The content of discrimination is becoming more diverse and changing year by year.
This year, I have been appointed as the human rights education promotion committee member of the neighborhood association where I live, and recently the content of this committee member's role has changed. In other words, the original aim of the administration was to eliminate evils such as Buraku discrimination from residents through lectures and the distribution of pamphlets, but recently the level of awareness of Buraku discrimination among residents has diminished and harassment has begun. As the targets have become more diverse and focused on discrimination in the workplace, school, and club activities, such as language use, the roles and jobs of committee members have also changed. One of the reasons for this is that research on discrimination in university sociology departments has become more active, and analyzes of the types and causes of discrimination have become more detailed and accurate.
Conscious discrimination between majority and minority
Discrimination arises from the existence of a majority and a minority regarding a certain set of values. Buraku discrimination is a microaggression (condescension caused by common words, actions, or circumstances that conveys hostility, contempt, negative images, and insults to Buraku people, whether intentionally or unintentionally), and as a result, a minority of It has a huge negative psychological impact on the victims of the sect. Similar discrimination can be seen in racial discrimination, discrimination against foreign residents in Japan, sexual discrimination (sexual harassment), discrimination against people with disabilities, discrimination against nursing care, sex discrimination, etc.
Discrimination due to unconscious bias
In an educational lecture on human rights education that I heard the other
day, I was confused when a new term called "uncon language'' came
up. This is words that we unconsciously assume and say to others without
any malice, but actually feel strange to the other person. Such words are
called unconscious bias words, commonly known as "unconceived words",
and there are many examples such as the following. , has been taken up
by experts as a human rights issue. Human rights issues seem to be becoming
more diverse and segmented in recent years, as sociology departments at
universities are becoming more active in research.
For example,
① Living at home with your parents is a pity even after you become a member
of society.
② My wife will be happy with the layout that makes it easy to do housework.
③ It's amazing that women buy houses!
④ Couples. If you're looking for a new house, you'll have to think about
the children's room.
⑤ Living together means getting married, right?
⑥ The kitchen is for women, right?
⑦ As the eldest son, he will eventually live with his parents. Right?
⑧ I feel sorry for the children when I move.
⑨ People who live in cities are cold.
⑩ It would be better to live a relaxing life in the countryside after retirement.
⑪ If you don't have children, it will be difficult because you won't have
anyone to take care of you in your old age.
⑫ You have to take care of your parents because you are the eldest son
or daughter.
⑬ It is up to children to take care of their parents.
It has been cited as an example of ”uncon language,'' and people are urged to be careful not to hurt people's feelings or be discriminatory. In my opinion, the only things that should not be said in examples 1 to 13 above are 1, 6, and 13, but with the necessary condition, the others appear in everyday conversations, and I also know people who know them. You might use it naturally in a conversation with a friend.
Social - Discrimination based on strength and weakness within the family
Discrimination against children within the home, power harassment, maternity harassment, sexual harassment, and red harassment (these three types are said to be the three major harassments) .
Kashara, moral harassment, and al-harassment (Alcohol Harassment), Part-time Job Harassment, Gen Harassment (Gender Harassment), Restructuring Harassment (Restructuring Harassment), Jita Harassment (Short Hours Harassment), Ei Harassment (Age Harassment)
