From an article in a text book tells us that there are four attitudes for good health, long life, and happiness.
1. Optimism
2.graditude
3.to be proactive
4.to embrace learning and changing
The article also tells that one secret to health in old age is in the genes, and another factor is exercise.

From an article "The wisdom Years" , it tells  these factors have helped to increase life expectancy and reduce  mortality rates.
1.scientific and technological advances
2.industialization and socioeconomic development
3. improved communication
4.better hygiene and increased mortality rates

Not only attitudes help to increase life expectancy, but improvement of technology has helped the increase of life expectancy.

        What effects has consumerism had on your society,on your environment?

I hit up on a good effect of the consumerism.
Because of the consumerism, companies are trying to make  better things which people attracts.
These days, people care about environment more than the former age, so companies tend to make and insist  that our product is kind to environment. This movement drives people  to notice that We should care and think about environment.

2.      I think as we getting older, the time will come which we think oneself, try to know who am I. In that time, I think people will naturally have an interest in own culture.Coming to terms with your own cultural identity might give a hint knowing who am I, and to make your vision wide. This is why I think coming to terms with your own cultural identity is important because identify your own culture may lead to identify yourself.

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 agree that the Millennial Generation has a global perspective, and  think I am too. For example,There are many English we use in the daily life like lucky, or  happy.  I think one of the reason is that we can get many information of foreign countries easily than the previous age.
This is the reason for the agreement.

1. Hi! My name is yukika lorena hayashi. At the class in Tuesday, I wrote about my background alittle. so this time, I will write about my favorites, about my part time job.
First, about my favorites... I like watching movies, DVDs. One of the  recommendation of mine is "The lovely bones" It's the story about the girl who has been murdered when she was 14, and watches over her family and murder from the heaven. A view of the world in the film is very beautiful, and the theme of the story is love. If you have any recommendation, please tell me!!
 I started working at the calm school teacher as the part time job recently. When I'm wearing suits, it's the day for working:/  Any way, I'm teaching English and math mainly, and I realized that how it is difficult to teach the thing which  I've never had a doubts.

2. Difficult because there is so many words I don't know
3. I hope I can read fast and understand, and can make the summary
