Street Vendors

About Street vendors(street stalls)

Have you ever walk in major downtown such as Nowon Street, Konkuk University street and Jong-ro street? When people walk in street, we can see street stalls anywhere. Street stalls was convenient. But now, street stalls don't do. Almost street vendors are poor people. Street vendors want to earn much money. So, they want to use more cheap ingredients and more land of outside their street stall. Is it really good to us? I think street stalls isn't good to us. So, I think government should control street stalls.

First, Food hygiene. Almost street stalls sell foods. But We can't exactly know ingredient of food. They don't have water supply facilities.

They use water to make foods. Do they use safe water? And, We can't know this problem. And around 60 million germ was detected in fish cake(Uh-muk) which is foods in Jong-ro street stalls.

Second, extended street stalls. Street vendors expand their street stall to street. So, people can't walk in street due to street which became narrow. People can't walk in street every weekend and holiday. This problem should be corrected. Because people can get hurt in narrow street. In addition, street vendors get angry to sell more food and merchandise to customer. Is it normal?

Third, Tax. They don't pay tax. But they pay money to gangster to protect their street stall. Street stall is illegal. They work not for us but for their profit only. 

After this presentation, I thought that street stalls don't help us convenient. So, I thought street stalls should be struck. On the one hand I thought they are poor and street stalls are our culture. Therefore, I think government should regulate the number of street stalls in street and appoint the place of street stall. Government should think about this problem.

About minimum wage.

Minimum wage

  During hearing presentation in class, I felt serious reality. Because I will be able to get a job. This presentation is impressing to me.

  Compared to the past prices of staple commodities have rose. But Minimum wage haven't rose equally. So, I think minimum wage increase.

  In the past, the value of money was high. However, now, the value of money is low. We can't buy most of goods with 500 won. The value of 500 won has decreased extremely. Our life has been good. Is it true?

   A gap of classes between luxury class and poor class has increased. It is big problem. If people doesn't have money, they are slaves of the luxury class. Now, Slavery disappear. But invisible slavery of money exist. So, a democracy must protect poor people and contain this phenomenon.

   Government must protect all of the nation and make nation live very well. I want all of people as well as all of the nation to live happiness in world.

Hybrid car

About Hybrid car.

I haven't interested in Hybrid car. because a car will be improve from oil car to electric car.
In presentaton, presenter suggested some of problems of hybrid car. So, I think that A hybrid car will have temporary popularity of people and has more weaknesses than strengths.

first, A battery life of hybrid car. Efficiency of battery is low and don't last long. Efficiency of battery should be improved.
second, Power of hybrid car. A battery power of hybrid car is feeble than oil power.
third, Price of hybrid car. Price of hybrid car is higher than price of oil car on the same level.

Do you think you need a Hybrid car? my opinion is 'No'. Because efficiency of hybrid car is so bad.  Price of hybrid car isn't cheap. Cost of maintenance isn't cheap. Maintenance of hybrid car battery isn't easy. Power of hybrid car is feeble.
I think Hybrid car can't reduce useing oil and price.
We need to think that hybrid car is effective.

Imported meat.

About imported meat.

Nowadays we can see the display of country of origin easily at restaurant. A few months ago, we couldn't see display of imported meat at restaurant. Because restaurant owners didn't want to show consumer mark of imported meat. Also, consumer thought about imported meat. But now the situation has changed. consumers' perceptions have changed about imported meat from negative perceptions to positive perceptions. Good quality to be able to enjoy the meat is really good news at a reasonable price. It is really a good thing? I wondered what concerns.

First, the sanitary conditions of imported meat. As mentioned in the presentation, a lot of imported meat could contain germs. However, imported meat came to us
without any interference.
Second, It is the collapse of the domestic meat market. Imported Meat has been targeting the consumer as half the price of domestic meat.If domestic meat will be collapse by imported meat? The price of imported meat will rise step by step. Eventually The price difference between price of imported meat and domestic meat will disappear. We must protect the domestic beef market.

In preparation for this presentation, I thought that we may eat only imported meat in the future.
I think consumer as well as government must have an interest about domestic meat.
