Protest
(Wiki)
A protest (also called a remonstrance or
remonstration) is an expression of objection, by words or by actions, to
particular events, policies or situations. Protests can take many different
forms, from individual statements to mass demonstrations. Protesters may
organize a protest as a way of publicly making their opinions heard in an
attempt to influence public opinion or government policy, or they may undertake
direct action in an attempt to directly enact desired changes themselves.
Various forms of self-expression and
protest are sometimes restricted.]by governmental policy, economic
circumstances, religious orthodoxy, social structures, or media monopoly. When
such restrictions occur, protests may assume the form of open civil disobedience,
more subtle forms of resistance against the restrictions, or may spill over
into other areas such as culture and emigration.
Throwing
Shoes (Asiaone)
Thousands of people took to the streets of
Taipei in a series of protests yesterday, throwing shoes at a portrait of
beleaguered President Ma Ying-jeou and demanding that he steps down.
The demonstrators asked Mr Ma, who is also
chairman of the ruling Kuomintang (KMT), to take responsibility for the
economic sluggishness and controversial government policies that have pushed
his approval ratings down.
Hundreds of angry protesters gathered at a
rally barricaded by police outside the presidential residence in downtown
Taipei in the morning.
Television images showed the protesters
chanting slogans and holding signs reading "Down with Ma Ying-jeou!"
At nearly the same time, hundreds of people
from another group - the "National Alliance of Workers from National
Factory Shutdowns" - vented their anger in another part of the capital,
throwing shoes at portraits of Mr Ma and other politicians.
Pressure on the Ma administration has
mounted since workers lost their jobs following the mass shifting of assembly
lines from the island to the Chinese mainland, to capitalise on cheap manpower
and lower land prices there.

品牌信任
People
trust beauty brands (fashionavecpassion.com)
Though we’re still going through hard
economic times, seems like shoppers are maintaining their smart shopping
habits. They prefer buying less, but
seeking for high-quality goods, from the brands they like.
And while there are good products made by
unknown or small business companies, people still tend to believe more in the
brand’s that already made a statement in their business. Why? Because they feel
famous brands can be trusted.
A behavior study conducted by The Intel
Group and published in The Checkout, revealed that 90% of women compare store
brands to brand names regularly, but most of the times choose the brand
products.
“Certain
categories appear to be immune to the store-brand swap,” said Craig Elston,
senior vice president Integer (a world leader in brand marketing and retail
promotions), trying to explain that no matter how appealing would make the
packages, or how low would establish the prices, people still don’t buy
from store brands. “Categories that
offer shoppers frequent innovations such as performance or variety, and
categories where personal stakes are higher, are more difficult areas for
private label products to compete.”
The study revealed the fact that clients
tend to buy from big brands especially laundry detergent (69%), health and beauty products (65%),
batteries(63%), breakfast cereals (63%), cookies, snacks (57%) and icecream (53%).More
than half of the people involved (51%) said that the main reason they prefer
brands products are trust and quality.
But there are also products that people
tend to buy more from the store brands. I’m talking about products that are
usually characterized by little innovation
and tend to be easier for private-label brands to imitate. More than two-thirds
(68%) of shoppers prefer private-label brands in the over-the- counter medicine
category, for example.
Questions:
1. Which brands would you trust and why?
How much should you trust brands with your information?
2. Do you trust advertising? How much are
you influenced by advertising?
3. Do you think advertisement affect our
shopping habits?
4. Are you a name brands products buyer?
What you think about name brands products?
5. Do you follow recommendations form friends
when buying?
6. In your opinion, name brands products equal
to high-quality?
