         <description><![CDATA[<div>In terms of convinience, more people can enjoy entertainment with the highly developed technologies because we do not have to go to certain places. Moving on to cost, people don't need to pay for various costs; transportation, tickets per person and snacks.<br><br><br>We could use Netflix as a specific example. First of all, it enables people in rural area to watch movie without going to certain places, while they needed more than 30 minutes in the past. Secondly, there is more variation of choices. We can only watch recent movies in cinemas, whereas we can choose wide range&nbsp; of movies from classic to modern. Lastly, we can enjoy movies with cost of just a cup of coffee, without paying extra cost such as snacks, bus etc.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For example, watching it by tablet can be more cost effective than going to a theater. We have to pay at least around 40,000 won for one family, whereas if we use Netflix we can just sit together and watch hundreds of movies for a dollar. Another example what I can think of is that if we use the home entertainment game controler like Nintendo Wii, we can replace outdoor activities with doing the indoor game activities so it can mean the time and the cost can be saved as well.<br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It is ovious that we all have benefited from new technologies to pass our free time and building social relationships. Nowadays people do not have enough time to gather together because we are really opccupied our work and job. However we can easily communicate with other people doing social network services such as Face book or Instagram. I have two children who usually communicate and make an rapport with their friends by SNS. They are connected to each other very tightly and keep stay in contact permanantly because of SNS. For another example, we can frequente streaming services to watch the movies by Netflix or to listen to music by Youtube. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For example, if you subscribe Youtube or Netflix you can save money and time for watching a brand new movie. It is cheaper than theater and&nbsp; you do not&nbsp; need to drive to theater. Also you can watch it again and again whenever and wherever you want. In addition, there are a wide range of topics you can choose, some of them are very good for educational purpose.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The most noticeable point is that the biggest concern of the students was achieving desired degree classification. Many students seemed to feel worried about their future academic score. The second major concern was balancing academic, social and work commitments. The <strong>least </strong>portion of the respondents <strong>was </strong>concerned about debt at graduation.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One of the positives of having fewer language is that it would make things <strong><em>more efficient in a way of we discuss and communicate</em></strong>. We can solve problems more effectively using some specific or chosen languages. In the IT world, the engineers do usually work in English so no matter what countries they are from, they can communicate more efficiently to solve the same task.&nbsp; The same applies for programming languages too - where different nationalities share languages like C++ or Java. It would be very difficult if each nationality had a different language for programming!</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One of the disadvantages of having fewer languages is that it decreases <strong><em>diversity</em></strong> of different cultures. Every language has their untranslatable connotations or notions, which are inherited from their cultures. For instance, in Korean, there is a specific emotion that called 'han', which is similar to sorrow and grief, but could not be fully translated to other languages because the emotion is closely related to the country's history, which has suffered from numerous invasions and brutal colonization <strong><em>of Japanese </em></strong>Empire. If the languages unified, their unique thoughts would also be diminished.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>There are more than hundreds of languages over the globe, but a number of them become extinct annually. Some expect that having fewer languages would benefit people, since they have fewer languages to communiate with, thus freeing them from the burden of learning foreign languages. However, I do not believe that having fewer languages promises the more efficient future. Rather, it would shows us a more monotonous, boring future.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>One of the disadvantages of having fewer languages is that it decreases diversity of different cultures. Every language has their untranslatable connotations or notions, which are inherited from their cultures. For instance, in Korean, there is a specific emotion that called 'han', which is similar to sorrow and grief, but could not be fully translated to other languages because the emotion is closely related to the country's history, which has suffered from numerous invasions and brutal colonization of Japanese Empire. If the languages unified, their unique thoughts would also be diminished. &nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Moreover, having fewer language bears the intrinsic problem: Which language would survive, and which language would die out? In ideal world, people would choose the language through the most logical and rational process - maybe they would categorize and classify the language by its number of speakers and historical values and vote which language will be erased out - but in real life, it would not. Given the failure of globalizing Esperanto and the success of English as global language, it is likely that only the languages of politically or economically powerful countries would survive.&nbsp; Then the languages of weaker, undeveloped countries would lost its power, no matter how fertile cultural background they have.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, I personally disagree with the opinion that<strong><em> with only several languages that exist in the world, life will be easier.</em></strong> I believe that the variety of languages <strong><em>ensure</em></strong><strong> </strong>the diversity of society and <strong><em>enriching</em></strong> the culture, thus making one's life better.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One of the problems of aging society is that it increases burden among the younger generation, which is the backbone that the elderly survive on. Firstly, the more aged population could decrease the vitality of the job market, as there are more retirees than the newly-employed. It could increase the pressure to taxpayers to support the elderly and to pay more insurance which will benefit the older generation, not themselves. It may evoke dissatisfaction among younger workers, making them refuse to pay insurance fees for the elderly. It might lead to a vicious cycle, which undermines the nation's healthcare and pension system. Second problem is that the older employees group become, the less opportunities remain for the younger job-seekers. The older employees, who usually become the senior member of the corporation, tend to put off their retirement. It is likely to tighten the chances for the unemployed youth because the occupations for companies are limited. So, in short, the young job-seekers are sidelined.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One of the problems caused by an aging population is this means that more people are likely to lose their job or retire in a forced way from their work. That might cause the people got mental problems such as loneliness or depression. This could mean they will not only lose jobs literally but also lose their meaning of life - jobs are alreaey big part of lives.&nbsp;<br>Another problem is it might mean that we have to make efforts take care of health issues of seniors more than than before. For example, hospitalized people for a long period or people who has struggle with dimensia are likely increasing. This could mean that we should pay more taxes to help or support them and eventually that might make the economy more demanding and that maybe slow it down.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One of the problems caused by an aging population is higher burden on taxpayers in order to support government pension system. For example in some European countries taxes are about 30%, and sometimes even more because the birthrate in those countries reduced during last several decades so they have decent percent of seniors.&nbsp;<br><br>Another problems older people would continue working not&nbsp;just to have income </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>One of the problems caused by an aging population is this means that lower percentage of people in the workforce for supporting a larger proportion of retirees.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>According to increase of retirement age, there are lots of old age workers in work area. Nowadays, most of tack related with using computer and internet, but some old age workers are not tend to cope with this task. So, only young workers are then to deal with huge amount of tasks. Unfortunately, these situation might cause young workers' exhaustion and quitting a job, and productivity also could be diminished.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Another problem is that retirees want to continue working. When they are retired, they could be still healthy so, they want to work and earn money to take care of their family but number of jobs for retirees are likely too less and limited to satisfy them.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Usually they could take place some certain jobs, for example, apartment guards or collecting garbage.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>There are various solution we could coping with these problems.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>First, teaching how to work with computer and internet for old age workers. It could be great influence to their work are and their career. For instance, they can get refund academy fees when they learn something that is helpful for their work. It might be more motivate for them to learn something .</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Second, discovering more reasonable jobs might be useful solution for retirees and their family. If they get a proper job, they may live more positive and enthusiastic. It could make them and their family lives are more healthier and brighter.</div>]]></description>

These patients need specific treatment and medication, which requires considerable amount of money and highly specialized workforces. Judging by the number of doctors who are specialized in aging-related illness, it is unlike that the current health system can cover up the increased number of patients. </div><div><br></div><div>Possible solutions for these problems would be hire the elderly for the public-sector jobs and to expand national health care service by training health care workers. Firstly, if the government hire the elderly as simple labour workers, for instance, a call centre staff, it would less the financial burden of the younger generation and even further, make the older people feel less dependant, and more confident about themselves. <br><br>Secondly, promotion of fostering the health care workers can benefit the elderly with better quality of treatments. Furthermore, the expansion of the national health care service will also stimulate the private medical market, which can lead to the increased opportunities for job seekers. <br><br></div>]]></description>
