Problems about social commerce service

  The social commerce, which is an e-commerce system that uses social networking services such as Twitter and Facebook by advertising goods or services when people who want to buy their goods get together in discount prices, is an internet co-buying site. Consumers are able to buy products at affordable prices and sellers can promote their products in easy way to many people who want to buy. In recent years, clothing, cosmetics, tickets, luxury goods, financial products, and real estate or etc, this kind of product types are becoming increasingly diverse.

  However, due to the disruption of social commerce, people who have been experiencing dissatisfaction have also been increasing nowadays due to the problems such as the difference in the quality of the actual product from the advertised product, refunds from coupons booked to use hotels or condos that companies over issued before, or purchasing cosmetics or food products that from companies that use false advertising. As a result, consumers opened their own websites which deals with social commerce to raise these issues, and share ideas.

  Consequently some social-commerce companies are preparing solutions in order to minimize the complaints of consumers. Nonetheless, the social commerce service has been growing hugely with unmaintained problems due to initial phase. Because numerous companies are struggling to be preempted their advertisement in this market, they have done plunging product planning such as insufficient consideration to think the revenue structure without quality of service issues. There is still a lot of homework that remains to be solved.

  Since they are known as social commerce, they only have the trick of business ability instead of real quality. In a situation that has no difference between traditional co-purchase and social commerce, leading a real definition of social commerce is also needed to find the underlying meaning with smart consumption. And with the situation that Facebook also announced to be preempted going through social commerce, I hope that this market structure system will be of reliable service with reasonable consumption. It’s all about our story that we face.

Cohabitation?

  Marriage could be a splendid experience that our life ever have. you will be permanently tied to the one person you really love the most. You probably get to move in with them and go through the daily struggles every couple deals with. But what happens next when you just don’t plain get along? When you start to notice every little thing about that person that bothers you? When you are not able to work things out because you have never been in this situation before? Divorce happens in real situation.

  When couples move in together before marriage, a good way to know if your partner is really the one for you is cohabitation. Though this may be opposed by many religious groups and conservatives, it is more common now than ever. Cohabitating couples get to live the marriage life without officially tying the knot. Cohabiting couples typically take upon themselves about all the responsibilities and advantages of marriage, such as sexual fidelity, sharing of property, raising children, and so on. All that is missing is formal legality. Some people believe that couples who live together before marriage are more likely to divorce than couples who do not. 

  But here in the Korea, this opinion will be criticized by many kind of conservative people. The other people, however, believe that cohabitation is beneficial because you get to know this person before you decide to commit yourself for the rest of your life and if it doesn’t work out you don't have to spend money on a divorce. Cohabitation can be great at time because you can do a trial run marriage before you spend the rest of your life with this person and it helps determine whether the relationship is meant to be. This can be mistaken, in fact; numerous studies have shown the opposite to be true. The rate of divorce is about 50 percent higher among those who live together before marriage. Therefore, I believe that living together before marriage will be beneficial for them.

What should we carefully prepare about in case of rising price of oil?

The rising price of oil is recently becoming destructive issue a that our societies have to deal with. The impact of rising oil prices creates economic, as well as social problems. High oil prices can lead to substantial output reductions, decreasing nominal wages, increasing competitiveness in oil dependable businesses and unemployment. Furthermore, I, as a student, just realized that at our current consumption of crude oil and at our current status of known reserves, we have approximately 40 years of reserves remaining. Numerous people are aware of the price increases now and Under the right conditions, oil would sometimes seep up to the surface, but in our times, the search for new reserves is more costly and dangerous. 

Making predictions into the future is not what this post is about. Suggesting alternative solution would be more appropriate in accordance with a position of student. 

The appropriate choice fiscal policy will be the expansionary fiscal policy. In terms of adopting this policy, the government will attempt to increase the government spending and increasing net taxes. This transmission will increase boost aggregate demand, the economy will go back to potential output but at a much higher level of prices. Consequently, the unemployment will be reduced. Nevertheless, the more comprehensive policy adoption will be the mixture of monetary and fiscal policy, for example, increasing interest rates and government spending at the same time.
