Class #2 Death and Funerals

＊Do you have any international friends or family?
No I don't.
＊How would you express condolences to an America host family if they Grandmother died?
I don't know What should I do completely. But I think we should talk about her stories.


＊Have you ever been to a foreign funeral?
No, but I studied German funeral. While some Germans prefer to continue to use traditional burial rights, others have began to opt for cremation. Germans understood in the late 18 th century that cremation was more sanitary than burial. 19th century intellectuals of Germany preferred cremation to burials, because they thought it was better than the natural decomposition of the body and it was faster.　Nowadays, most graveyards have established crematoriums.As the churchs power over society and people gradually declined, cremation slowly became more popular.Germany continues to combine modern methods and traditional values to appease the ever changing population.


＊Why are Japanese designer label crazy?
I don't know. Sometimes I am angry when I buy something. Because contents and label are differet. Probably, Japanese love to wrapp and label crazy. I think that something need crazy label to attract to people.


＊Why does “Don't judge a book by it's cover.” mean to you?(Why is what you wear so important?)
“Don't judge a book by it's cover.”Because book's cover not always equal contents. Then I should look content and cover when I choose book. Cloths are same. Cloths are packagesame.Then, cloths are important. if someone wear good cloths, someone can attract me. And cloths express a person's inside. But cloths could'nt express a lots. My idea content is more important than appearance(cloths,etc) I don't want people judge appearance only. And I want someone judge my content a lot.　 “Don't judge appearance only.”
