After the previous article on searching alpha (https://masahironakagawa-272.medium.com/chasing-%CE%B1-not-only-%CE%B2-as-an-educator-f948d927e8e9), we see more how people get back to normal, and huge “revenge” consumer activities all over the places.

Sex and the City the Movie in 2008 (https://youtu.be/g9Mx2OLnoGI) is my classic text for English lesson to the class. Some wordings are too straight-forward and x rated, but these are very simple and easy to understand. At the beginning, Carrie said “In New York, we came to get “love” and…
