This is a hit news that I also read it in Tuesday’s United Daily News and it seems that the decline of the global economy has changed our shopping style. The depression influences our lives a lot and has changed our way of living. The restaurant industry has a hard time during this period, not to mention automakers. Many people tend to take the transportation or ride bicycles in order to reduce carbon emissions, and on the other hand, they can save a lot of money. Automakers have no means but develop low-cost compact cars to cater to the market.
Though developers claimed that these low-cost small cars have the great horsepower and it can run fast, many people still suspected whether it is safety or not. One driver said that the car is used only for city driving. Hence, I think we can’t buy it only due to its price; our safety should also take into consideration. Moreover, I read an article about the cars that the commentator said this fad is just a phenomenon in recession time. If economy becomes good, then these cars will lose its advantages. I think it makes sense. Maybe we can wait until the economy becomes better and see whether it is right or not.

A Web Awash in Liquor Ads, Promoting Moderation
Recently, the economy of the whole world is on the decline. No matter how hard the government and businessmen try, it seems that it only has a little effect and many people are in the difficulty time. Therefore, they try many ways to release themselves and one of the methods is drinking.
Whether the economy influences the phenomenon of drinking, alcohol abuse is an inappropriate behavior so that we should avoid it. In this article, it mentions some methods that can help people deal with the alcohol abuse problem. Also, there are a group of people that dedicate to the campaign about drinking in a moderation mode. They urge people not to over drink alcohol, even ask bartenders not to give consumers too much.
Furthermore, they notice that nowadays the younger generation also has the same problem, so they seek another way to promote moderation. They use the internet because the internet is the fast access to the youth. Through the internet, the youth must get the information and alert to their behavior. The campaign workers do not use a preachy way to tell people. They urge people gently so that people can accept their opinion easily. In my opinion, this campaign is very meaningful. The drinking habit in Taiwan is different from western countries. We usually drink a lot once while westerners like to sip, and I think this is the reason why many easterners get the liver disease. Maybe everyone will realize the importance of moderation when they know this campaign.
