My Views on Knockoffs

As is vividly depicted in the picture, the bears are painted to look like pandas. This picture reminds us of a social phenomenon that China is now suffering from an overflow of various knockoffs in the market.

Various knockoffs are so widespread in our market that almost everybody has frustrating experiences of buying them. Then, what should we do? In my view, it's our obligation to support authentic products and fight against knockoffs. The reasons are as follows. Firstly, we should support ingenuity and originality as well as authentic products, which are based on creativity. Secondly, knockoffs represent plagiarism in design and production. Thirdly, support for authentic products and fighting against knockoffs can help form a fine competitive atmosphere in our society so as to promote the comprehensive progress of the industry and the society.

In conclusion, we have every reason to fight against knockoffs and support ingenuity and creativity.

The Technological Advances and the Changes in Lifestyle

In the picture, we can tell a gradual change of writing tools ranging from the brush to the pen and then to the computer with the handwriting growing poorer and poorer. This is the epitome of people's changes in lifestyle caused by the advances of technologies.

As is obviously demonstrated, the development of technology is a double-edged sword. It cannot be denied that people's life becomes more convenient and comfortable with the emergence of new and advanced technologies. However, modern technologies have also caused some negative impacts, which cannot be ignored either. In fact, some people are confined by technologies to a mechanical cage where they use machines at work and live like an ever-running machine, stiff and inflexible.

Therefore, to live a healthy life, people should make full use of the benefits brought by the technological advances and preserve the essence of the previous lifestyles.
