Q3
I totally agree with that idea, because I sometimes feel being insulted by others' words or behavior. If all people improve their manner, there may be less chance to feel being insulted, and this cause me happier. However, I also note that to improve manners is difficult even myself, so I should learn forgiveness to make me happier.

Travel to be polite abroad, you ate WHAT?
Q6
In the article Travel to Be Polite Abroad, You Ate WHAT?, Stoller claims that it is better not to eat a lot of bizarra food, because there is a risk to get a desease(Para 8).
I totally agree with this idea for two reasons; firstly there is a risk not to be cooked appropriately out of the U.S., so you should follow the direction of the physician "if prepared in a sanitary fashion, but it may be wise to eat lightly"(Para6). Even if the bizarre food seems safty,  how to cook and how adequately be cooked are not known; thus there is a lisk to get desease afterword, so it is better to eat small portion. Secondly, Dr. Standers mentions that if the bizzarre food is eaten in the local people, it does not mean you can eat, because sometimes colon may not treat new food well.(Para8)
In my conclusion, it is better to eat bizarra food a little.

Response to U.S. Woman on the Rise as Family Breadwinner

In the article of U.S. Woman on the Rise as Family Breadwinner, Rampell states reports that approximately 50% of Americans believe mother should not work but stay at home for children. (Par7) 

I disagree with this the idea that women should stay home for children although I feel that there are the same argument in Japan. According to Mari Kan, Aughinbaugh and Gittleman proved that mothers’ job made no impact on their children’s bad behavior such as smoking, drinking alcohol and crime (P4). Kan himself also conducted research showing that mothers’ job affected on better grade of their children although he suggested further research should be conducted because there were many factors which needed to be considered(P2). Thus I conclude that mothers’ job may have good impact in children’s behavior and academic achievement points of view, so women should not hesitate to keep working even after having a child.
