Their wishes are VCR and farm.  Because, if they get VCR, they can spent more and more good time. It is a great convenience to watch some programs. And the farm is very valued possession. We think, it is most luxury that eating farm products they raise. And then, they can have a peaceful time.

 

 

 

 

 

1) Based on the scant data above and what you have read or observed in the book “Material World”, please make any guesses as to what some of the general values of the people from your country might be. If you think that making these guesses is difficult, please say why.

 

We thought men usually work much time than women in guessing, but in this family mother works much time than father. We think this is difference of values.
