Writing from the article"Why Do Japanese People Live So Long?"
I found a little differences from the information of the textbook and the article.
In the book, it is mainly said that to live longer depends on our points of view. Taking pleasure is the most important to be healthy, and it relates to our mind. Being optimist brings about happiness, learning new things and coping with change are informative for us, and so on.
But in the other side, the article, it gives some concrete examples of living longer by basing on lifestyle. I felt Japanese culture led to live so long as reading the article. Eating more fish than meat, drinking tea, walking and taking the train, taking care of older, and so on are tradition of Japanese.
In conclusion, though viewpoints of both the textbok and the article are different, both are important to be healty.

What effects has consumerism had on your society, on your environment?
Consumerism has an ability to effect of business conditions. Even if a business produce a lot of staff, it is meaningless unless it is useful and profitable for consumers. Because the market consists of an act of consumers of buying products. So consumers should be treated preciously and consumerism which prevent from exaggeration of advertisement, harmful foods and so on plays a part in circulating commondities between consumers and a business smoothly. On environment, consumerism also plays a part in protecting our earth. I think that "Green Consumer" which pursues environment-friendly commondities is wonderful existence of leading to a life without harm of earth.

1.The auther says that even though she feels at home in the multi-cultural mix of Hawaii, she is still drawn to China and wants to spend time there to discover who she really is. Why do you think she feels this way? Do you think coming to term with your own cultural identity is important? Why or why not?
Surely, if she lives in the multi-cultural mix of Hawaii, she will never feel uncomfortable. But I think she would like to make an effort to be more familiar with her Chinese side and experience a lot of attainment, such as blending in like a native, living almost without a difficulty and so on, she gets after she overcomes lack of experiences. What living in China brings to her is big. Above all, I think she wants to know what she is newly. Maybe, she takes delight in finding new herself for getting broad choices of thinking.
If I come to terms with necessary of my own cultual identity, I can comprehend hearts of people in my country smoothly. To establish relation of confidence with each other, it is important to co-understand the others. But there are also people who have multi-cultual identity. I don't think that they don't establish relation of confidence because they have different cultual identity. So.........I don't think coming to terms with my own cultual identity is important.

2# Do you agree that the Millennial Generation has a global perspective? Do you? How is a global perspective expressed in the daily lives of young people today? Give examples.
I think the Millennial Generation has a global perspective. And I have a little.
Business conditions of foreign countries and Japan are close correlation. For example, there was a sudden decline in American stocks, which hit Japanese economy. And developed technology of China also relates to Japanese firms. Business conditions connect with the rate of employment of young people. So I'm aware of global news. In recent years, it is easy to get much information through the spread of the Internet. People seeing the Internet, much news of Japan and other countries are written. I sometimes talk with my friends and my mother about global happening. By conversation, I think a global perspective expressed in daily lives.
