Obviously, no. (I assume it is an imaginary scale.)

That sentence requires explanation.

I'm curious about where you got the expression our mind will directly recognize.

You might want to elaborate on that.

Please explain how you came up with that.

Free advice.


If you can do so, do not say something in a roundabout way when you say it more directly.

The phrase "the locals have priority" suggests that there is discrimination against non-Japanese. But isn't it true that almost everybody who lives in Japan is Japanese? In that case it is no surprise that almost the entire workforce is Japanese.

Remember that the reader will want to know where you got your information.

When in doubt leave it out.

Less is more.

Trim the fat. Keep the lean.

When I hear the word Japan what immediately comes to mind is:
a thoroughly modern society
the world's longest lived people

RonBee, thank you

of course I should first think about the reader too .i shouldn't confuse them or tell them something "may be an opinion" as a certain fact

but because I do believe that the percentage of the japanese workforce in japan is higher than bahraini workforce in my country.. and I said :

the workforce of Japan in their economy is largely native, because the locals have the priority in their economy.

isn't fair enough!! if they don't have the priority !! why don't they employ foreigners such as indians!! moreover they accept lower wage!
when I said priority I didn't mean :) discrimination , in fact I mean it in a positive way ,that they have the priority !! I can't see any wrong :)

so next time I try to talk in general based on certain informations

thank you a lot for Your advice
