What is Destructive cult?
Depending on "Japan Society for Cult Prevention and Recovery", "It is closing group with whom some strong belief (thought) is shared, and it was organized enthusiastically by the action based on the belief to practice it, and group that violates the individual liberty and dignity, and has caused a serious evil socially." In the incident of a series of Aum Supreme Truth religious cult clarified in 1995, strange behavior of founder of a religion's abnormality and believers became a problem, and it was conducted by the word mind control. Believers did the malfeasance and the anti-social activity as the founder of a religion commanded. Unfortunately, the solicitation activity of Hiroshima University that various groups including destructive cult pretended the purpose is conducting on campus.
Solicitation of criminal technique
They solicit when someone is alone like at Spanish Plaza and the plaza in front of the lecture building of the faculty of integrated art and science, etc., and outside the school such as at the Youme Town and video shops. The voice is just like general student circle, "Hello, shall we do ** together?" Then they ask for your contact and try to meet next time. They do not mention the religion first at all, do sports, karaoke, have dinner together, and the story related to the religion is told only after you became intimate. Because it is difficult to refuse when you becoming an intimate relation, and they will make an appointment. The method of the clever inducement like that is called a mind control, the person feels acting in the will of his/her own, but being induced by the other party before notices. The Destructive cult introduce themselves by the circle name of the dummy, even if they claim they are organization, or misrepresent the purpose of the activity, and guides you through deception. Dummy circles are often circles of the sports system (volleyball and soccer, etc.), the music systems (chorus, jazz, and gospel, etc.), and the volunteer systems, etc. The person who solicits starts appealing very seriously and kindly because he/she believes that a good activity is done. I think you will want to go carelessly.
Judgment method
Please ask the circle name, the content of the activity, the purpose, and the expenditure that relate to the activity, etc. when it is a vague explanation or you hesitates whether go or not, refuse by saying "Please let me think", and do not tell your personal information. It never has awkward time even if you run into each other on campus next time.
If you feel suspicious
Do not go to the meeting space of cult prevention consultation alone. Let's refuse and go home when you feel suspicious about reunion promising or the meeting place. There is no need to have a guilty feeling. Let's also refuse the invitation afterwards. If there is somebody visit you, please ask about the business without opening the door. If there is somebody persistent, tell the person "I will call police!", if the person is not going to leave even after hearing this, please call number 110 for police. If you have difficult handling the situation, please contact counselors at Education. Student Life Support Group（3F Student Plaza,℡082-424-6145）
To protect Important Personal Information
■What Is Personal Information?
Personal Information refers to all pieces of information based on which specific individuals can be identified. Concretely, personal information includes such basic information as name, date of birth, gender, address, telephone number, Individual Number (also known as" My Number"), and family composition, and more delicate information whose disclosure can infringe on the concerned person's privacy, such as educational background, credit card information, medical history, records of medical consultations, domicile of origin, and photographic and other images depicting specifi c individuals.
■Effort and attention paid by each one of us
The personal information that we provide on various occasions can be processed while we are unaware of it, reproduced and used for purposes not initially expected or agreed on, and even diverted for undesirable purposes. Some commercial operators and other organizations that treat our personal information could make bad use of it to our detriment.
Likewise, exchanging personal information between and among friends and acquaintances can be problematic, causing great trouble, if the information is handled carelessly or disclosed to a third party through theft or loss.
To prevent problems relating to the use of personal information, it is essential that each one of us be aware of the importance of personal information and the ramifi cations of its inappropriate use.
Keep in mind that your personal information is extremely important and that you are responsible for its protection.
■Protection of personal information
１．Confirm the purpose of use.
When you enter your personal information on application forms and other such documents, check whether the purpose of use of the personal information required is clearly mentioned.
２．Do not easily provide your personal information.
Do not provide your personal information in cases where its undesirable use can be anticipated, judging from the way the purpose of use is described. Take great care when you provide your personal information (name, date of birth, high school attended, photo of your face, etc.) to be published on the website of your laboratory/research unit, club/circle, or the like.
３．Protect yourself against fake phone calls
You might get a phone call from someone who claims to be a Hiroshima University staff er and asks for your personal information. Do not readily provide your personal information in such a case. If you are unsure of the caller's identity, hang up and call the University to verify.
※ Note that by providing your personal information carelessly to random callers your risk of getting involved in scams and fraudulent commercial transactions increases.
■Treatment of personal Information by Hiroshima University
Hiroshima University has adopted the Hiroshima University Regulations on the Treatment of Personal Information in compliance with the law. The University organizes each year seminars and other educational programs concerning the protection of personal information so as to handle the personal information of its members (students, administrative and academic faculties, etc.) appropriately and safely.
Do you use social networking services (SNS) such as LINE, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, You Tube? These SNSs are very popular as convenient tools for sharing information and messages, photos and videos, and activating interpersonal communication.
On the other hand, the number of cases has been rapidly increasing wherein careless posts of SNS develop into serious problems and incidents. The information published on SNS is instantly shared and duplicated with others, and it is said that it is almost impossible to completely delete all traces. Before you post comments or upload data, make sure that you are not going to cause any problems.
Hiroshima University has established guidelines for the use of social media for its students, faculty and other HU members. Make sure to observe the Guidelines in your SNS use.

Before Starting a Part-time Job
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of cases wherein university students unknowingly take up a part-time job from an unscrupulous employer who forces them to work for illegally long hours, refuses to pay for overtime work or to pay at all, or prohibits breaks between working hours. This situation is now recognized as a serious problem in society.
If you intend to work part-time, make sure to check the working conditions.
If you encounter a problem relating to your part-time job, contact a consulting organization.
