In daily life, when the clothes you bought at a cheap discount are thrown away without even being worn; when the food you buy in large quantities during a merchant's promotion has to be thrown into the trash can after you finish it, will there be a moment in your mind when the thought "something seems wrong" flashes through your mind? In Japan, the clothing industry discards hundreds of millions of new clothes every year, and the number of discarded products from the fast-moving consumer food industry is even more staggering. We live in an era of mass production, mass consumption, and mass waste, but we take these for granted. Behind this phenomenon is a large amount of waste of earth resources and the exploitation of cheap labor. Behind "waste" there must be "unreasonableness". The senior writer of "Asahi Shimbun" went deep into the production and consumption scene of the FMCG industry to discuss the current situation and solutions to this "massive waste society".

Death is a business, full of tricks. A classic work of the 20th century "dung-sucking" journalism movement, it sparked public opinion and exclaimed, "Can you afford to die?" She single-handedly promoted relevant legislation, influenced the arrangements for Kennedy's funeral, and changed American funeral values. She was selected into Time Magazine's top 100 nonfiction works and was the British female writer who had the greatest influence on J. K. Rowling. Only Jessica Mitford's sensitivity and intelligence could turn this exposé of America's modern funeral industry into a book that is both serious and entertaining. When first published in 1963, this landmark investigative journalism became a bestseller and spurred legislative protection. Before her death in 1996, Mitford revised and updated her classic study to reexamine new trends facing American death, including the success of professional lobbyists in Washington, the skyrocketing cost of cremation, telemarketing of prepaid graves, and the impact of the funeral industry monopoly now dominated by multinational corporations.

Without a job, a place to live, or money, I endured silently and died alone. Taking you into the "thirties" of Japan's economic downturn, NHK reporters are full of social responsibility and explore the current situation and inner world of Japanese youth who have fallen into the bottom of society due to various reasons. The 39-year-old young man died alone. There were only three words written on the note beside him: "Help me." This was a letter of help that could never be sent. In his 30s, in the prime of life, he lost his job. The young people of the "thirties" who have slipped to the bottom of society cannot make a voice for help. Society generally attributes their failure to a lack of personal effort and tells them to "not be squeamish." NHK's modern feature program recording team faced the living conditions of the "thirties" group directly, and the series received an astonishing response. The lonely figure who remained silent in the name of "self-responsibility" aroused an explosive resonance among his contemporaries. Is "not standing at thirty" really just a personal issue?
