Summary
Disney announced that sales of dresses based on its movie “Frozen” was over 3 million dollars in North America this year alone. In this “Frozen” fever, Disney is making next “Frozen” movie. The title is “Frozen Fever”. Making use of this movie, Disney will earn more and more money.

Opinion
Why can Disney succeed in business ? Of course, its brand value or quality of its goods is one of the reasons. But the biggest reason I think is its abvertising strategy. In the first place, Disney is the conglomerate that dominates various media, for example, publication, broadcasting and so on. It has succeeded by strong power of advertising through each media it has.
Advertising power is extraordinary. In fact, by its power, we seem to be good thing in spite of bad thing in reality. Therefore, if you want to get succeeded in business, you should forcus on advertising. And we should pay attention not to be tempted by false advertising.

Summary
Pritesters in Hong Kong decided to hold over the vote whether to accept several goverment concessions because of a lack of discussion with protesters. But it doesn’t mean protesters stop demonstration. They still have the will to fight against the government.

Opinion
Why people in Hong Kong are fighting against Chinese government ? It is caused by the inequality of elections. Chinese government has ruled that candidates for the chief executive election must be vetted by nominating committee dominated by pro-Beijing groups. In short, Hong Kong people have been deprived their freedom of politic participation by the government.
In my country, Japan, everybody can announce one’s candidacy. But it isn’t in Hong Kong. I surprised because what I think it’s natural is not natural. Many people around me may not know the value of freedom about politics. Now, I’m 20 so I have the right to vote. Using this right, I’ll positively participate Japanese politics. I believe if people have the will of paticipating politics, the government must be changed. To get the precondition as the participation to politics, I want to support to Hong Kong protesters.

Researchers report that a small number of longtime smokers could drop their smoking habit when taking psilocybin, so called “magic mushrooms” in trial at Hopkins University School of Medicine. According to the trial, 80 percent of study participants could quit their smoking. Before this, the success rates of quitting smoking by taking smoking cessation drug was less than 35 percent. Therefore, that success rates is unbelievable high level. But magic mushrooms have hallucinogenic effect, we must be careful when taking them. It is needed to administer after careful preparation and in a therapeutic context.

In Japan, it is banned to take or have magic mushrooms in the law. And I think it will be still banned after this report because we should focus on safety. A person who have hallucination may do violent acts or injure someone around him. And it is dangerous for himself because he may get involved in accidents, for example, traffic accidents. If the drug or method that can control that hallucination discovered, it can change situation. But now, there are no way so it should be still banned, I think.

Summary

In Uganda, a journalist makes effort to support lost and abandoned children. Her name is Gladys Kalibala. She is writing newspaper column for New Vision, one of Uganda’s leading newspapers to get more people know that children and to offer assistance for them.
Kalibala is loved by many of motherless children because she primarily considers them. But she is not a rich woman. But thanks to funds provided by her supportive readers, she supports she pays tuition fees, for example.
Where does her compassion come from? The key is her childhood. Because she was abandoned by her mother, she was raised by her grandfather. He was a reverend, so he often willingly helped needy people. Because she grew with looking at such behavior of him, she took over his mind.
She hopes to start a foundation for supporting these children by providing them with shelter and education.

Opinion

After reading this article, I was surprised at her conscientiousness. How many people who can do the same are there? Of course, some people do the same. But in many cases, they are rich people. Not rich people, like us, can’t easily such things. Well then, what shall they do?
I think there are 2 means for this.
First, they can start fund campaigns or join them. If even they have little money, many a little makes a mickle. This is an ordinary means but most effective means I think.
Second, they can inform existence of that children to other people, like Kalibala. Today, the power of the mass media is very strong. Supportive people may appear for this. Thanks to the spread of the Internet, we can inform various things to people in the world. And recently, by the appearance of SNS, we became to connect other people more easily.
