Applicationism
In a recent note by Hokuto Yokoyama(https://note.com/wish0517/n/n5e56870f6669), the question is raised whether the social welfare system dreams of the end of 'applicationism'. It seems that even in the context of support for the vulnerable, the process of applying for assistance can be difficult. This raises the issue of whether there is a need to reevaluate the current system and explore alternative approaches. One possible solution is the concept of Civichat, which aims to address the problem of 'applicationism' by promoting a more inclusive and accessible social welfare system. By recognizing and acknowledging the difficulties faced by individuals in navigating the application process, Civichat seeks to create a more user-friendly and supportive environment. Another important aspect to consider is the idea of 認知できていないことを認知する, which translates to "recognizing what cannot be recognized". This concept highlights the need to be aware of and acknowledge the limitations of our understanding. In the context of the social welfare system, this means recognizing that there may be individuals and situations that fall outside the scope of traditional application processes, and finding ways to address their needs. Furthermore, there is a hypothesis that prejudice can be reduced by cognitive mind mapping. This approach suggests that by mapping out our cognitive processes and biases, we can become more aware of our own prejudices and work towards overcoming them. Applying this concept to the social welfare system, it could mean examining the biases and assumptions that may exist within the application process and finding ways to mitigate their impact. Lastly, it is important to recognize that there may be aspects of the social welfare system that cannot be fully understood or addressed through dialogue alone. Recognizing what cannot be recognized through dialogue emphasizes the need to consider alternative methods of understanding and problem-solving. This could involve incorporating different perspectives, conducting research, or exploring innovative approaches to better serve the needs of individuals in the social welfare system. In conclusion, the concept of 'applicationism' in the social welfare system raises important questions about the accessibility and effectiveness of current processes. By exploring alternative approaches, such as Civichat, recognizing what cannot be recognized, addressing prejudices through cognitive mind mapping, and considering non-dialogue methods of understanding, we can work towards creating a more inclusive and supportive social welfare system.
