An interesting custom in Japan.

Sometimes when you talk with Japanese people, you might think that they are shy. But actually,
they are not ashamed of conversation. They just have some different custom from other countries. For example, some Japanese tend to avoid eye contact. This is because, from the hierarchy era, it has been thought of impolite to have eye contact. It was not permitted to look at eyes, when they spoke to superior people. And also because Japan is a island and once they prohibited people from taking other countries culture, they have lived with consensus which Japanese use when we talk or do something with others. So when they talk with someone, they sometimes skip the word which they want others to understand without saying. Of course these are old culture and because of today's internationalization, they come not to do so, these culture may remain a little bit. So you might think of Japanese as shy.

The disadvantages of being left-handed by Ellsie

The disadvantages of being left-handed
Being a right-handed person, I cannot imagine that if I become left-handed someday. There must have lots of disadvantages. First of all, I can't enjoy my meal because I don't know how to use spoon or fork by using my left hand. Second people would feel confused or even ridiculous when they see my handwriting which is written by the left hand. Lastly, I will feel I'm handicapped because I am not able to control everything with my left hand. Therefore, being left-handed must bring many disadvantages for me.

Advertising Taiki Motoda

Advertising is essential in today’s market. A long time ago, when we exchanged what we needed, we didn’t need advertising or even money. This is because we couldn’t produce as much food or stuff as we don’t need. However after we can produce enough for ourselves, we came to use money. With money, we can get what we ourselves cannot produce. So to get more money and live a better life, we came to produce more stuff or service and sell. Then in order to expand the scale of this process , advertising was created. Today we live in the world filled with a lot of stuff and almost all of them are bought through advertising. The fact exist that TV show, magazine, newspaper, snd even google is making profit by advertising. Every time when you buy something or you sell something we need advertisement. Thus in the present day we cannot live a better life without advertising.
