Who is responsible?

After watching and discussing the video, i think individuals, government and business companies all have responsiblilites. First, about individuals, everyone has his own right to decide what he does. Thus, he himself is responsible for his actions. For example, all of us know that alcohol, drugs and cigarett are dangerous, but a lot of people still use them. We can't do anything except give them advise. However, the government and business companies must have responsibilites. the government must set up the laws to restrict manufacturing and consuming dangerous products in the market and the business companies should have conscience and always consider the costumers' benifits is most important, not money beacause we are not always consciuos about what we do. Even when whe want to advoid those dangerous products but they are available everywhere, we can't control ourself.
Therefore, in my opinion, individuals and especially government and business companies have to be involved.

strangers' kindness.

everybody has experienced strangers' kindness, so has i. However, in this entry, i'm going to tell you about my bad experience.
it just happened last week. i remember, last Tuesday, i took the bus back home from school, like everyday.The bus was so crowded and obviously, i and many other people couldnt have a seat. standing next to me was a old man. i guess he is about 80 years old. he looked very weak as his age. people around saw him and of cousre they perceived that the old man really need a seat. However, nobody stood up and gave him their seat. i felt so bad. but, what made me angry the most was 4 girls( around 15 to 18 years old) sat front of me and the old man. they looked at him and then pretended like they didnt see him, and so the poor man still stood there, hardly kept balance every time when the bus stopped. i wished i had had a seat and then i could have given it to him. every time when i memorize this story, i feel so so angry.
and...i've learned something new: there is much more unkindness in this world than we think.
