Nowadays, facebook not longer the patent for young generation, it is blossomed into a network which is suitable for all ages for connecting the people around the world. It also has the function of posting photo, sending message and even becoming a platform to share the personal life with the world. Wherever you are, you can get your friends’ news and never lagged far behind from your social circle.
Although facebook undeniable brings along many advantages and conveniences for us, but some older generation still can not agree with it because they reckon that this system can not communicate with each other on behalf of human being all the time. They prefer to communicate by using the method of face-to-face or phone call to show their sincerity instead of this method. They have some stereotypical notion that facebook is just an entertainment but not suitable to maintain the friendship, let alone the online dating.
To me, however, facebook is very useful because we can online anytime but not limited by the telephone fees and vehicle fares. Apart from that, facebook provides a space for me to write down their blog and share their sorrow, happiness and even the dull life with my old acquaintances.
As a result, our earth is borderless now, so people need the advanced and convenient technology to connect each other. Facebook is a social utility that I strongly recommend.

Since 9/11, I think, most of the people stick an ominous label which is symbolized terrible for Muslims, even their image of conservative roots deeply in the people’s heart. However, I come from an Islamic country, Malaysia, experience something difference with other people. What I see is not all the Muslims act like a terrorist, they also object to this terrible action, even though they still maintain some of their traditional thought and behavior. I had ever asked them whether “Jihad” was their main thought of religion, they told me that Allah hoped they could coexist peacefully, thought of jihad wanted to protect them from the dangerous but not the excuse of doing something may injure people. Perhaps, I think, the activists misunderstand the real meaning of “Jihad”. On the contrary, soft revolution is good for them to step forward the world because some of the Muslims still can not mix in immediately.
On the one hand, some of the Muslims know what they want to reform and improve from their conservative tradition and follow the development of the world; On the other hand, some of the Muslims are self- confidence with their own religion. They comply with all canons and repel other things which are difference with their own. Religion, to me, is a belief which can give me support on the spiritual, encourages me move forward the right decision ends to the neglect of worthless desire, but not the notion which teach us how to plunder and kill. In fact, we must judge the right or the wrong wisely but not follow it blindly. The religion is only an attachment for our daily life but not the mentor who teaches us how to make the decision, we have the right to decide whether we want to make progress. Never let us to be the servants of religions!
Apart from that, I guess any progress is good if it lessens the violent attack on the world. The inner meaning of progress is worth to ponder and understand.

Withering of the global economy, automakers bleed cash and cut employees, a car making company of India, Nano, makes a very important decision to market its new production with a low price after preparing for six years. Whether the ultra cheap car can attract the sight of the people or not? This outcome will control and influence deeply the future of the company.
Although economic of whole world is slowing down, it is by no means guaranteed that the future of the car selling is darkness, Nano makes the strongly evidence that these productions win the acceptance of many people according to the marketing research. Instead of desperation which is predicted before, the outcome of promotion is better than peers in the United State and Europe. It inspires the people who have ever made great effort in it.
We can not be denied that India is moving toward the milestone which is symbolized successful and achievement. However, India has no idea that they have followed the stepping behind other advanced countries for the serious pollution’s problem they had ever happened. Maybe every country has to go through this process before being an advanced country, but it is just a vicious circle on the earth.
On the one hand, the compact car makes us more convenient and fulfills the four-wheel dream of many people; On the other hand, the car’s emission of carbon dioxide seems to bring along more hassle to us. Many people have a wrong concept that the car’s emission is just the tip of the iceberg, they are wrong. If you are trying to tune it out, you will get more problems. Actually, we must aware of the effect of global warming which can destroy our earth. Protecting our earth is a determining factor in our healthy life.

In the age of the communication and information, ads, like our shoes which lead us moving forward to other information’s milestone, is very important and inevitable. Simply put, ads bring along the messages what advertisers want to tell the public and cause a wide range of influence.
According to the article, people can drink in a responsible way, drink at the right moment, even the advertisers offer the guidelines and information which are provided by the experts in order to teach consumers how to drinking. However, we never see any hints to show the disadvantages of the drinking and how the liquor endangers our health. This phenomenon, maybe, unravels the fact of our life--- ads are commercial information which gives the product most beautiful packing over the fact, but never tells consumers the blemish of the product. By far the worst, the messages will root deep in our mind unconsciously and consumers will make a wrong decision. So that, consumers must ponder very carefully, of their own, prior to make decision to avoid someone becomes the next victim in a beautiful fraud.
When people are accustomed to drink, they will really recognize the moment when they may drink just like the theme of the campaign? I don’t think so. Most of the people step into the swirl of liquor’s overwhelming temptation and never get out from it! Drinking a little bit, to me, is an effective counterweight to release pressure and also forgot trouble. Or sometimes, we drink in the wedding ceremony, gathering, and celebration in order to make a wonderful atmosphere. However, over drinking not only gets irrational action and unconscious as the result of drunk, but also uploads the burden such as financial problem of the family.
As a result, we must ponder carefully and make a right decision, but not depends on what the ads promote and strongly recommend.

Your Friends Need Money. Do They Have References?

My reaction:

According to the“ Your Friends Need Money. Do They Have References? ” , the financial planner advised the people thought twice when they wanted to lend money to someone even their friends or relatives because it would cause the inevitable effect that never we thought. Besides, this news mentioned that the true stories which occurred at the United State and told the people--- money is the root of the evil.

In the practical world, money is an issue of sensitive which is bring along some troubles for the people, even damage the relationship between the creditor and debtor. This reminds me that this kind of matter had occurred on me when I was high school. When I lend money for my friend, I was an angel. However, when I asked her to repay me, she reneged on repayment, I got a bad feeling. The truth is that our relationship got worse and worse. When I recalling this matter, I think the distance in the issues of money among the friends is a suitable way that keep the good relationship.

However, it not means that we can not extend the hand, but we want to assure their ethic and the situation. For example, the financial problem of our family, we must settle it with careful. If anything goes awry, family bonds will be frayed. Besides, someone is embarrassing to reject the requesting of borrow money, they unwittingly step into the trap that is made the shameless people.

Standing at the position of greedy, borrowing, a term which is full of the overwhelming temptation because you never pay sweats on the brow but you can get it. However, for me, I think the borrowing likes a path which is full of the thistles and thorns and we don’t know when we can repay it. Despite we can repay it, how about the debts of the gratitude? We will be winced by the feeling of uncomfortable and the unexpected barriers are still there!

Harder To GetTo, Easy To Pay For

My Reaction:
According to the “Harder To Get To, Easy To Pay For”, many New Yorker seeking to migrate to the suburbs to raise the family, they prefer to look out the houses in the Montclair, Maplewood and South Orange, N.J., but the neighboring town of West Orange was not on their shopping list because it does not have a train station that provides direct service to Pennsylvania Station — as Montclair, Maplewood and South Orange do.
In my opinions, I think the inconvenient of the transportation network causes the main factor that the people decline to buy it because a commuter must take a bus to New York from a park-and-ride garage, or a jitney to one of three stations on New Jersey Transit’s Midtown Direct train line, West Orange is generally perceived as somewhat out of the way. They need to waste the time in the way of back and forth between the place of working and residence. However, the journey of torment has exchanged the comfortable of the life such as pay the lower price to buy a bigger house than another downtown at United State.
Besides the problem of transportation, I think, the security of places is a leading consideration point for the buyer, especially in this present situation that the economic is depressed. The increasing of crime rate is make the people surprise and difficult to imagine. On the other hand, the solution of the environment at the urbanization city is serious. People must consider carefully when they make the decision, either the fresh air or the convenient of the transportation. Furthermore, the equipment of West Orange is sufficient like the recreation place.

As a result, we hard to find the perfect in every way, but we can try to choose a thing which is good for us. Everything worth having is worth fighting for. A house which is hardly to get, but easy to pay, I think, it is good!

As the Rich Get Poorer, Teenagers Feel the Crunch

My reaction:
According to the “As the Rich Get Poorer, Teenagers Feel the Crunch”, children at the American who are studying at high school seek their part time job and earn money as an extra allowance because of the competitive of job opportunity leads to the crunch of the family. Furthermore, the parents even want to borrow the money from their children!
I think the excessively growing up of the economic have caused the serious problem for the life of citizens such as the rising inflation and then cause them suffer from the high prices of the necessary and the expenses that can not be covered in a month. As a result, the parents decrease the allowance for the children and lead them to work outside to earn their pocket money. The survey shows that the phase of age of seeking job gets young and young and it becomes the competitive between the teenagers and the out-of-work adults about 61 years old or above for the low- paying position.
I think, however, it can bring along the advantage for the teenagers because of the children now spend too many money in such materialist enjoyment as the night movies and binges. If they can earn money themselves, they know how can spend their money wisely and alleviate the burden of family. Besides, they become mature and independent to handle the problem by themselves.
Some parents say that the community will become more reality and lack the human touch. They prefer their children involve in the charities than the part- time work and pay more attention on their homework to get the good result. People struggle between the morality ethic and practical world. On the other hand, I think this is an excuse of their laziness because if we can arrange the time wisely, we also can take part in the charities besides of the working. Don’t forget the “you” in the equation so there is a balance between work and charity.
Working is not a dilemma that brings along the pain for the teenagers, but the useful lesson for them. The parents can no protect them excessively and it let the children parasitize at the wing of their parent. The children must adapt the environment themselves but not according to the path that the parents build for them.
