Homework # 11 What do you think the article from the Japan Times

This week's homework is to read an article from the Japan Times and five your opinion. http://search.japantimes.co.jp/member/member.html?ek20060110ls/htm

Do you agree or disagree with the author ( who is Japanese). Please explain why in your blog.

I agree with the author, because recently couple are strange for me. I think recently couple styles are too close. I sometime saw some guy brings girl's bag... It is a kind of ladies first?? It is OK to bring shopping bag, but why does he bring girl's stuff?? He wants to be a girl?? It is joke, but if I see those couple, I think some guy is a kind of her servant. And also, it is common to have own cell phone each other, so it is easier keep in touch than ever. However, that things make each other too close. In my opinion, relation of love needs to have comfortable distance, but its distance depends on each couples. close distance give them stressful.

And also, another reason is I think men not only change but also women change too. recently women have jobs and have much money to live by themselves and they are independent than previous women. Then, they enjoy living alone. I think women's spirits are more stonger than ever. It is good for them to be strong, but they enjoy living alon too much, so if she lives with someone, she cannot make a new relationship in life because she already has own lifestyle. However, it is not only women, men enjoy living alon too and he already has own lifestyle too. So it is too difficult to built new relationship in couples, I think.
