CHECKED 2. Introduction
According to a Japan Time’s article (Tuesday, March 27, 2007), Education Minister Bunmei Ibuki called Japan "an extremely homogenous country." Foreign Minister Taro Aso described Japan as having "one nation, one civilization, one language, one culture, and one race." These comments indicate that they have some “allergies” (maybe a different word is better, like 'they are prejudiced against foreigners) against foreigners. In other words, they would like to keep having the same situation that they have been used to. In fact, it is not only their own ideas but also Japanese people still have some stigmas against foreigners. We should be very concerned about it. (This is because it is creating some issues such as USA military camp at Okinawa prefecture, Immigration issue, complimentary of resident Korean’s high school, and so on.)
Besides, Japan needs to face up to such a Japan's low birthrate and shrinking labor force so that some people think that we should have further immigrants or start consulting to change policy measurement as soon as possible in order to maintain current productivity and economic status.
Moreover, there are a lot of countries, culture and people in the world and each of us has own characteristics. In other words, it is an Identity. However, people sometimes don’t like their life style or sensibilities due to some reasons so they want other people to follow their way of life. Some of them do go out their way but on the other hands; they would not like to obey their lifestyle because they like to keep preserving their identity. Furthermore, the majority would be able to be powerful and famous, prosperous because of huge number people belong their side so they has been discriminating the minority over hundreds years. There are a lot of evidences in the history. That’s why it needs to look over some issues inside and outside so as to identify facts. Probably, there are keys to reassure reasons why we are having these problems and whether or not Japan will be capable of being multicultural country. Hence, I found out that there are some connections between counties throughout the process and it will be significant clue. It is that will require them to have several stages in order to be multicultural society.

These comments indicate that they have some “allergies” (maybe a different word is better, like 'they are prejudiced against foreigners) against foreigners. In other words, they would like to keep having the same situation that they are used to. In fact, these are not only ideas but of these two politicians; the Japanese people still have some stigma against foreigners. This is a very concerning problem. (Some examples of this are reations to the USA military camp in Okinawa prefecture, immigration issues, complimentary of resident Korean’s high school (unclear), etc.)
In addition, Japan needs to deal with its low birthrate and shrinking labor force. Some people think that we should have more immigrants or start consulting to change policies as soon as possible in order to maintain current productivity and economic status.
Moreover, there are a lot of countries, cultures and people in the world, and each with its own characteristics, or an 'identity'. However, people sometimes don’t like the lifestyles of other people, so they want those other people to follow a way of life that matches their own. Some of them do change their lifestyle, but some, on the other hand, do not want to alter their lifestyle becaue they want to preserve their identity. Furthermore, the majority would be able to be powerful and prosperous because of huge number people belong their side as a result of discriminating against minorities over hundreds of years. There are a lot of evidence of this in history. Thus it is necessary to look over some issues inside and outside so as to identify facts. There are keys that suggest reasons why we are having these problems and whether or not Japan is capable of becoming a multicultural country. Hence, I found out that there are some similarities between counties throughout the process and these will provide significant clues. Several stages are requird in order to achieve a multicultural society.
I would like to use 2 case studies so as to make people understand my hypothesis.
Following the below of information: 1. Japan: Ainu 2. Canada: First Nation; Residential School Thus, this research will be able to recognize the cause and origin, influence and it may be able to help people to understand the circumstances.
Two case studies about the Ainu in Japan and Residential Schools in Canada will be referenced to support this hypothesis.
Thus, this research will be able to recognize the causes and influences and will help people to understand the multiculturalism. CHECKED

Are you going to give questionnaires to students in all three countries?
20 may not be enough!
primary vs. secondary information
Your "case study" is secondary, unless you actually go there and interview people.
Questionnaire may be most important part
You need a focus!!--for example, general students' recognition of aborigine minority problems in Canada vs. Japan
include language problems with respect to English
Who proposed the three steps? This should be in the background (introduction) inestead.
This is not a bibliography!
