Communication in a high tech world.


I will be response to John's blog.

I'm sure that people don't have enough time to communicate with another person recently.
Though the source of it is not only high technologies, I think the main reason is it.
One of reason is our nowadays character become cool. As keep developing high technologies of the game and the website etc, our enthusiasm disappeared and we don't talk too much positively to others I think.

High technology makes our life convenient.
For instance, we can contact a person who is far away thanks to internet or mobile phone. Besides, we're able to make friends around the world when we've just thought of it. That makes us happy.
However, we shouldn't be crazy about it very much. It's not that we live in website. If we crazy too much about it, we become unskilled communications in the real world.

Therefore, I think we don't carry use high technology too far.

Strengths and limitations about globalization



I think sports is a symbol of globalization.
l like baseball but it isn't originally sports of Japan.
It was handed down from the United States in the past.
And now, baseball become worldwide sports.
World Baseball Classic was held in 2009 and it put enthusiasm (probably) all over the world!

It is strength about globalization that people all over the world are interested in the same event.
So we can communicate with other country people in the globalization.


On the other hand, there is limitations about globalization.
I went to social-welfare class with cabbage27 and we studied about handicapped people.
Then I learnt "the thalidomide scandal" for the first time.
Thalidomide is a drug which was given to pregnant woman,it was found to have prevented some babies from developing normal arms and legs in the 1960s.
The sleeping medicine including thalidomide was imported from West Germany and a lot of thalidomide babies were born in Japan.


The globalization has good points and bad points.
Though The globalization is necessary for us, I think we have not to depend on the globalization too much.
