CNN Heroes - Michael Brosowski - Director of Blue Dragon Company

Profile:

The son of a German immigrant, Michael Brosowski, had a childhood that was far from comfortable - the family actually built their house, and struggled financially. "Looking back on it, I'm so glad that I had that experience," he reflects. "I think it's made me a bit more resilient to changes. I grew up in Sydney and then spent my teenage years on a little farm with nothing but trees and kangaroos for miles."

Teenage Binge Drinkers in Western World

Binge Drinking

Alcohol is the most widely used recreational drug in Australia. Because of its popularity, people don't tend to think of it as a drug, or even realise that it can be harmful. But alcohol is the largest cause of drug-related deaths among Australian teenagers.

According to a report from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, in 1998 alcohol was the cause of 814 deaths and 25,207 hospital admissions for people between the age of 15 and 34.

The purchase of DVD culture

 Actually i want to explain about the purchase of DVD culture. For example as found in this site:
Cami's LJ


    The site above shows that there is a Japanese group of boyband named "ARASHI" that last year has sold over 4 million copies of music DVDs. Those amount of copies been bought by their fan(boys/girls) all over the world. So from my point of view, the purchase of DVD culture hadn't influenced only Japanese but plentiful person in world wide.
    Even if the purchase of DVD culture didn't start over from the Japanese, but those who remain that culture is Japanese. For example in America is more well-known to purchase by downloading (mp3,mp4, etc) from i-tunes, so they can just copy it to their i-pod (because i-pod is a common music player which firmly owned by American), rather than purchasing the original CD or DVD.
    If we compare both culture to the one in Indonesia, they are actually resembles each other. In Indonesia people do like to buy CDs but not the original one, or do like downloading (mp3,mp4, etc) but get it for free. Here, i'm not going to judge any of these culture but, which one do you think is more proper to do?
