Will the wood companies in the United State attract clients by presenting that their products are eco-certified? The reading showed that these companies won't, while the speaker refuted the view of the reading.
First, the author emphasized that consumers in the U.S. would not value or trust those ecological advertisements made by wood enterprises. However, the professor proposed an opposite view. He stated that the advertisements in American were not all the same and consumers there would like to trust independent consumer agencies. So if the wood companies could put ads certified by independent agencies, the clients would pay attention to it and have much trust on it.
Second, the passage contended that if the companies chose to produce ecological production, the price of products would increase accordingly. So the clients would not like to buy. However, the speaker disagreed with this. He highlighted that the condition on which the consumers would only consider the price must be the price of the products was much higher or lower than usual. But the cost only took the price up a little, even less than 5%, so the consumers would like to think the environmental effect as well.
Finally, the text presented that the wood companies in America did not concern much about the foreign market for their major market was domestic. However, the speaker totally refuted this point. He claimed that those companies in the U.S had to concern developments for competitors came from foreign markets. If they could not keep up the pace of the world, the foreign competitors would take over the domestic market soon, and they would lose a lot of market share.
独立 People care more about public recognition than about money. Even if no money is given, public recognition can still make people work harder
When it comes to the issue about whether public recognition has more meaning than money for people, people’s perspective differ. Many people argue that money is necessary as reward of working, while others are just on the contrary, that is, they would be work hard even if there is no money paid. Each opinion has its redeeming feature if being determined on a case-by-case basis. On a personal level, I am in favor of the prior one.
Admittedly, public recognition could give people a sense of self-realization. Take the Netherlands national football team for example. In the year of 2012, they lost the opportunity to be the champion of European Cup for they were defeated by the Spain. In the World Cup, just several days before, they bitterly hit the Spain as the final score was 5:1. There is a question, what stimulated the Dutch to beat the Spain, one of the most opponents? The answer is that they want to prove themselves, who have the ability to win the game even if the competitor is strong Spain national football team. So here is the point, were they promised that if they won the game, they would be rewarded of a lot of money? No, the only thing provided faith for them was the hope to be recognized by the public. Granted the evidence above, is it a good idea to claim that public recognition is more important than money? When taking more factors in consideration, I think the money outweighs the public patience.
Compared with public recognition, the majority of people indeed work for money without which they are even hard to keep balance of daily life. For example, as a student, there are so many things I have to do with money. I need to support myself, to provide better environment for my parents and to prepare for the future, neither one would be realized without money. So money is still an essential element of my life at least first five years. It is reasonable for other people to pursue money rather than public recognition likewise.
In addition, money could bring public recognition for people. Looking into one of the richest people on the world, Bill Gates, he is constantly telling us how to get public recognition by making money. Microsoft is the biggest software company in the world, it makes numerous profits, instead of being free for any people, and put portion of the profits to establish funds. It means that Bill Gates have used the money taken from legal operation and supported the people who needed most. Then the Bill Gates and his company earned the reputation of outstanding company both in commerce and charity. Therefore, money may be the basic part of winning public recognition.
In a nutshell, from what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that money is more paramount than public recognition in some aspects.
