In the age of social media, celebrities are wielding more power and influence than ever before. Being in a hit Netflix show is enough to give a previously unknown actor ten million Instagram followers in a matter of days. (a)On the whole, celebrities seem to use their platforms for posting red carpet selfies, reels of makeup routines, product sponsorships — and for activism. It's become normal to scroll through a favorite Hollywood actor's Instagram page and see, nestled amongst photos of them at puppy yoga and sushi bars, a pastel square containing a few lines about some social issue or another. (b)Comments under such posts typically range from gushing ("glad I follow someone so good-hearted!") to admiring ("respect for talking about this"). But while, on the surface, such acts of activism may seem benign, they can be highly harmful. (c)The post is then circulated amongst celebrities and presented to their countless followers. (d)Unfortunately, such activism is frequently performative. While activism in its own right refers to the championing of social or political change, performative activism describes activism executed to 'increase one's social capital rather than because of one's devotion to a cause.'

Tourists are arriving in Japan in greater numbers than ever. March's 3.08 million arrivals set a new monthly record. (a)With the yen falling to levels unseen in decades, foreign tourists are finding the country an unbelievable bargain — while Japanese are finding it harder to travel overseas themselves. These trends have led some observers to compare Japan with Greece, long known more for drawing in visitors from the rest of Europe than for sending out its own tourists. While Japan and Greece are dealing with a post-pandemic tourism boom, there are distinct differences. Greece is heavily reliant on tourism, which accounts for up to a fifth of its gross domestic product. The country, with a population of 10.4 million, drew 36 million visitors last year, when tourism revenues reached 20.6 billion euros. (b)For Greece, Athens and especially the country's sun-kissed islands are top draws, but water management and marine litter are becoming major problems. Tourists to Japan visit a country of islands too, but most head to the major cities of Honshu, the largest island, including Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, and tourism is a much smaller part of the overall national economy. (c)Japan plays up its four seasons and their accompanying cuisine and festivals. Mediterranean Greece simply has high and low tourist seasons. (d)Taketomi Island, one of Japan's southernmost isles, instituted a voluntary tourism tax in 2019 to raise funding for infrastructure after annual arrivals topped 1 million.
