Consumerism

This essay will describe the consumerism. It will argue that increased consumerism is not good for environment and employment.

The main argument is that I am against to increased consumerism because increased consumerism may have a negative impact on the environment. For example, people buy many goods, foods, and drinks in store or convenience store, it will increases waste packaging. Moreover, convenience store has been wasting many foods every day.  It is so wasteful. I think that these are disadvantaging for environmental.

Another strong argument is that increased consumerism may cause more pollution. For instance, people use many resources for drive a car, watch TV, and use shower, resources might lose in the world. I think that it is very horrible thing for around the world.

It is also important to note that consumerism increased more jobs, but in low paid areas, there are not good jobs such as farming, packaging, and sales. It is likely that people are going to have more jobs, but farming, packaging, and sales are not popular jobs. Therefore, there are may have not working people in low paid areas.

In conclusion, I think that increased consumerism is bad for environment and employment, so I am against to increase consumerism.

Fair Trade

There are some advantages in the fair trade. First of all, the fair trade helps to reduce environmental damage. Many fair trade producers use systems which allow the soil to recover naturally without chemicals. For example, producers of organic rice in Thailand use traditional techniques which do not use chemicals or exhaust the oil.
Secondly, the fair trade encourages development of the local communities. Producers of fair trade goods use their financial and technical expertise in their communities. For instance, a coffee co-operative in Mexico started a public bus service in the village.
In this way, the fair trade has some benefits for developing of the local communities and reducing environmental damage.

Globalization

Globalization is a phenomenon associated with economic or social, beyond the boundaries of the state and region, causing various changes to expand on a global scale. I think that the good point of globalization is that individuals has a possibility to obtain a wider range freedom, for example, decisions of a place to live, a work place and a job, and also tourist travel and recreational activities such as a watching movies. Then, I think that the bad point of globalization is that, in general, the obtained profit in the country is outflow to other countries by advance corporate of other countries and an investment by investors. I think about the globalization as stated above.

My Favorite Sport

              My favorite sport is tennis. There are two reasons for this. First of all, I joined the soft tennis club in junior high school, and joined the tennis club in high school. Therefore, I played tennis almost every day for about 6 years. I think that I could continue tennis, because I like tennis. If I didn't like tennis, I would have quit the tennis club.

              Second, when I was junior high school student or high school student, I played some tennis games. Though, I couldn't almost win the game, but I have fun to play games. I was very happy when I won the tennis game.
