At Virginia university in April 16 of this year 23 years old man Cho Seung-Hui killed 32 people and later committed a suicide. He was in his final year at college.
After one week mourning finished and students again started to go to university. Everybody are trying to forget that event and to act as if nothing have happened. I was amazed to hear and read that director of undergraduate admissions has received e-mails and notes from some students who say they want to be part of Virginia Tech now more than ever. I can not understand how people can be so stupid, even so lip-deep. Moreover, it was strange to hear that foreign students are not rejecting admission offers because of the shootings at university. If i were one of those students i would reject that admission offers. I would scare that this tragedy can happen again. I'm surprised that other students do not care about their lives enough. Also it was quite sad for me to hear that university officials did not react more quickly and did not warn about a gunman at university in time. Maybe this mistake which they did caused this tragedy.
In conclusion, I want to say that I do hope that this tragedy will never happen again.

Employment law
Summary
First step of protecting employees and self-employed was legislation which safeguard rights of working people. In the 20th century after governments payed more attention to the employment law it became more modern and regulated all employees and self-employed.
There are quite big variety of the employment rights, all rights are guaranteed by the Employment Protection Act. So in most of the richest countries it is guaranteed that all employees get a minimum wage, a compensation if they were dismissed unfairly, a week's notice if employer want to dismiss his worker. One of most important rights is that men and women are equal, it means they have the same possibility to get job. Naturally, there have to be equality for all employees to get a job despite their sex or race. Also employment law includes rights for women who decide to have a baby during their works. They have right to come back after birth to their previous job.
Most issues raise the right to strike and Sunday trading. The right to strike is legal just then majority of employees agree with it. For employers strikes are quite damaging cause because they lose money but for workers sometimes it is the best way how to get better working conditions. Sunday trading is allowed in most European countries just there is some restrictions on it.
Employment law in Japan is lower than in many Western countries. In Japan women do not have the same rights to get job as in Western countries. The Japanese work a lot of hours and usually they do not get overtime payment. On the other hand, the Japanese employees sometimes have better labour conditions than Western workers. They are more certain that they will not be dismissed. Also one of spouses have right to get compensation if his wife/husband died because of stress that was caused by overwork.
