    世間: world or society. The Japanese noun '世間 (せけん)' refers to 'society' or 'the world' in a broad sense, often implying the social environment, public opinion, or the general community. It carries a nuance of the collective perspective or norms of people in society. For example: society is harsh「世間は厳しい」(せけんはきびしい). I don't care about what the world thinks「世間の目は気にしない」(せけんのめはきにしない). The word can also imply the boundaries of one's social circle or the realm of everyday life, as in: he is well-known in society「彼は世間に知られている」(かれはせけんにしられている).

    施行: enforcement. The Japanese noun '施行 (しこう)' refers to the act of enforcing or putting into effect a law, rule, or system. It is commonly used in legal, governmental, and administrative contexts to describe when a new regulation or policy officially begins to be applied. For example: The new law will be enforced next month「新しい法律は来月施行されます」(あたらしいほうりつはらいげつしこうされます). The enforcement of the policy started yesterday「その政策の施行は昨日始まりました」(そのせいさくのしこうはきのうはじまりました). It is important to note that '施行' is often used in formal or official settings and may not be commonly used in everyday conversation.
