Consumers & Producers

            Happen to love shopping for clothing? I sure do. Buying clothes is a nice thing and most people are excited to wear their new outfit. There are so many stores out there to stumble upon. I have a few favorite stores, but to be honest, it’s rare that I shop at those stores.

            It is ridiculous, the price of clothes at some stores. They charge you so much more than you know it took to make the clothing. In my opinion, I think it is unfair. It seems greedy to charge such a high price. Then again, the consumers help to lead the producers to the decision to raise the price.

            Maybe if, one day, everyone decided that they weren’t going to buy from a certain store, or a series of stores, because of their prices. Do you think they would lower them? Maybe they would, or maybe not. They would probably think, “They’ll have to buy clothes soon, and they’ll want the same clothes that they’ve always wanted, so they will return.” Hopefully not. Hopefully there will be that one store that does lower the prices and everyone decides to go there and other stores will follow that path.

            The consumer-producer relationship is a weird, but strong one. It would be hard to break it for any store. So I guess we’ll just have to live with these always-raising prices.

Trash Attack

Our world’s usage of plastics, and other materials, has gotten out of hand. Wherever you may travel to, whether it be down the street, to another state, or to another country, you will see trash littered on the ground, in the water, and other places. In my opinion, it is ridiculous.

It’s sad that we aren’t going to be able to stop this problem anytime soon. Many people may try to persuade others to recycle and to not litter, but there will still be more that will continue to. Most of our population just doesn’t care because they know that when the problem gets extremely big, they will already be gone from earth and won’t have to put up with it.

I don’t recycle, but it would be nice if I started to. To be honest, it can be an inconvenience at home, but I’m pretty sure many of us can let something that could have such a big impact slide for once and just do it. I also don’t litter. It drives me crazy when I see people throwing trash out of car windows or out of the windows at school. There are trashcans for a reason!

Maybe this problem could get better in the future, and maybe it’ll get worst. Hopefully, people won’t just sit around to wait and see and they’ll just do something about it. They’ll take it into their own hands, their responsibility, for once. We’ll see.

War

I would never choose to join the army. I don’t believe in murder, and yes, I do think wars are like any other murder.

The video didn’t really seem very interesting. Yes, the story was sad, but the photography just made the story seem like a picture book and, in my opinion, some of the pictures weren’t even that good. I do think it is bad when a soldier comes back and suffers from what they endured while in Iraq. The guy in this video was only one story out of many and I see, now more than ever, what war can do to you.

The changes in a person from before joining the army and going to war and after seeing what they saw, is unbelievable. It saddens me that they have to see what they do see and that they can’t ever be the same after it. It must also be bad for a family to have to see a loved one change in such a way.

I hope that many soldiers in the future do not have to go through such a thing and that people will realize that war is no good. Maybe things will change in the far future and for the better.
