Discussion : Beauty & Social Pressure

5. Does society place too much importance on image and beauty?
    Do beautiful people have easier life?


   Yes, it does. I think maybe... of course, making effort to get gorgeous appearance and to give good impressions for others is good, awesome. However, I think people are not so happy these days. If anything, they always seem to get tired. They are able to spend smarter life than today's one without lots of expenses and pains.

   No, they don't. I think that beautiful people who often appear on TV and magazine are attractive and cool! However, I do not want to be them. And just in my case, sometimes, others say I'm gorgeous and beautiful but I do not feel comfortable and glad about such situations.I always have an inferiority complex in my family and GSE classmates. This is truth. And my best friends in my junior and senior high school days did not care about their appearances so much but I love them and think they are so attractive and gorgesous.

   Happiness is depends on us.

Discussion 7: Fashion & Careers

5. Do you think our interest in new fashions means we consume too much?
    What do you know about the terms ethical consumerism, sweat shops, and fair trade goods?


   No, I don't think so just in my case. I'm economizing on transportation and amusement expenses instead of paying lots of money for my interests.  And I 'm working now. So it's natural to consume for my interests and apperarance.
  
   I know that there are a lot of children who do not know even how sweet chocolate tastes but be forced to work in plantations of chocolates in the world. According to the books which I've read before , "fair trade" is profitable for nto poor countries but rich countries. Fair trade is NOT fair between poor countries and rich countries.
   These days, I cannot understand what is GOOD, what is THIS WORLD...
