Real name system

Before this presentation, I just thought vaguely of the Internet real-name system. I have been thought that establishing internet real-name system is the ideal plan. Some people believe that internet is good medium for guaranteeing anonymity. And this anonymity can be wrongfully used by these people. For example, they start to internet bullying and post malicious comments to internet articles. For these reasons, I always thought that implementing the real name system means we can curb mean and insensitive messages on the message board.
But, presenter gives us the chart, which is about internet real name system is effective or not. And I was totally shocked by the result of chart. This chart said that, the internet real name system doesn’t work on internet bullying. In other words, before and after the internet real-name system established, there is no difference between before and after. And I realized that internet real-name system is not perfect and ideal system. It has some flaws, too.
So, what is the better way to reduce the internet bullying and build a desirable internet environment? In my opinion, by making the internet real name system mandatory, most people will have to think twice before writing something hurtful. Also, although the internet real name system doesn’t work on internet bullying, it is very useful to identify people who post abusive comments or spread false rumors on the internet. And I think that we need strong laws about abusive postings to solve this problem. This law will make people more responsible.

Social Commerce

Today, I and my partner present about ‘Social Commerce’. We choose this topic, because Social Commerce is becoming more and more popular these days. In my case, I usually buy the social commerce discount coupon for eating out, buying concert ticket and going to the hair salon. I can receive good services at absolutely cheap price. Also, I can easily see that my friends who usually buy the discount coupon with many purposes, too. Last summer break, I go to the Kangnam station every day, because my English academy is located in Kangnam station. And I often buy the discount coupons for eating something. I can eat a wide range of food at a low price and receive satisfaction, too. I never had been discriminated because of coupons. Social commerce site and sellers usually leave a good impression to me.
However, when I researched the social commerce, I was immensely shocked. Most surprisingly, the famous major social commerce sites, such as ‘Coupang’, ‘Ticket Monster’ and ‘We make price’ sell fake products to their customers. As I said, ‘We make price’ sold the fake cosmetics and sneakers. Also, ‘Coupang’ sold the fake winterbreak and boots. These are face of the social commerce sites in Korea, so I was very upset about this matter. To me, credibility of social commerce sites is at rock bottom.
Therefore, social commerce sites must make good a deficiency. Of course, they should choose their partner strictly. They don’t have to repeat the same mistakes to their customers. Social commerce sites should set standards for their partner stores to follow, and make sure that their partner stores follow these rules.

About power blogger

I am one of people who often visit the blog to get useful information. And I usually visit power blogger’s blog, which is very famous for cosmetics, electronics and read their opinions. Even though they are not an expert of this filed, I believe that they will write the objective reviews for visitors. Before buying the products (cosmetics or electronics I mentioned), I usually refer to their opinions and buy it. Also, when I have to do homework, I can get useful things from the blog, too. So, I think that blog is very useful tool in many ways.
However, presenters said that they usually fabricate their comments for commercial purpose. It means, power bloggers usually write the favorable comment intentionally. Also, a power blogger who is famous for electronics wrote the unfavorable opinions about SAMSUNG product. Then, SAMSUNG command that “Delete your unflattering comments”. And few days later, this comment was deleted. So, power bloggers rarely write the review which has the negative opinions about the products.
Until now, I have believed that power bloggers are innocent people who want to share and exchange opinions about interest or special field. However, because of this presentation, I started to doubt power blogger’s favorable opinions of the products. I realized that some bloggers are people who forge a comment and want to make profit from readers. Blog was the personal space for sharing feelings, but some blogs changed into the commercial space. Therefore, I should not believe everything what they said. I have to distinguish between right and wrong from these opinions.
