She is

 She was wearing white shirt and white coat. She was wearing glasses which has transparent frame and brown watch that has dog printing inside it. Her shoes were pink. Her cheek was a little plump but she looked thin. She had a white and fair skin. She had long and black hair. She had a double eyelid. Her eyebrows were fine but clear.


This place is

 There are a lot of people.(sometimes not) Usually they are hurrying. They move busily, quitely, intently and getting in one another’s way. Yesterday, one woman tumbled down on stairs there. She fell downstairs, rolling over and over and tumbling down others too. It was really pitiable scene but really funny to me. (I am sorry for her.) Her skirt was almost turned inside out, and others were cursing who were tumbled by her. People’s attitude were very cold. Nobody asked her if she is ok. It’s very crowded place that shows desolate city life. Sometimes there is a classic music from speakers but nobody pays attention to it. The music is compared with people’s narrow-minded look. On rush hour time, it’s terrible place. Somebody might be choked to death someday.


The place that is sent our minds

An atmosphere of the place is alike bank. There has big and cold weighing machines. Weighing machines are very important because its price is decided by the weight. And there are clean tables with glues, scissors, rulers and pens. There are red boxes. So, we put things on the red boxes. There are counters. Clerks in the counter are neat and kind. We can have quickly business. The place sells beautiful cards. People that are liked to collect things often come there. Where is it?


Where is it?

There are many kinds of books. Most people are provided many information. So, they can satisfy intellectual curiosity. And there are some computer to search. The computers are very comfortable. Because people have often hard time to find their book, using computers make us find informations more fast than when we don’t used to computers. Besides, there are clerks to help customers. They are kind and polite. The floor of there is clean. So, we can sit anywhere, and we can read books. Finally, the place often sells various school supplies. On the begin semesters, there are charmingly decorated. Where is it?


I Love This Place

Have you ever go to this place? There are many people. Specially you can see kindly people who wear neatly uniform. The addition to you can smell roasted corn. This place enjoy popularity when you first date with your lover. There are many pictures that printed famous actor and actress. If you want go in that place, you will pay for entrance fee. That place has comfortable armchairs. I love this place. Because it give me various experience. For example, one day I could became tragical woman whose sick lover, and another day I could became  great pilot. Do you know this place?


Chat (Give me a Energy!!)

I got good news today in bathhouse. The good news is to lose two kilograms. HAHAHA. It’s really good thing for girl. But this reason is not good. Because I had sickness. Last week, I had a cold and bad digestion. So last weekend I was in bed long time. I didn’t do anything. And then all during the week, I can’t eat commonly. Of course, lose weight is good, but I don’t like sickness. Please give me a energy!!


Kid’s Favorite!

This place is kid’s favorite. When I was a child, of course, I played with my friends a lot. Until now, I sometimes go there with my younger cousins, and I like this. Anyway there are lots of places in my country from small to big. There are swings, slides, seesaw, and so on. It’s really funny place. Guess where? Try again!


Where is it?

There is a building. Around the building, there are parking lots, some bench, a truck for something. Outdoors, some students and kids take a rest, or chat each other. Let’s enter the building. There are resting rooms, studing rooms, most important rooms in the building. There are too many books in the room. Someone read a book on the desk. Others find a book, or borrow a book. Where is it? It’s pretty easy. Try it!


The warm place.

Could I explain my lovely place? This place gives me unconditional love. When I first came to this place , I was never satisfied. As time has passed, I was genuinely moved by the importance.  A long time which has spent in this place let me adjust to it. Above all, this has offered the biggest gift. It is invaluable people and precious time. I will keep an affection toward this place, invaluable people, and precious time. I have gotten the big love from it, but I have never given any love to it. So, I am a selfish person. From now on, I should make a concerted effort to cherish it because it is my warm place that there are invaluable people and nostalgia. Also, the most enormous task is that I keep love in my mind for good. 


Korean’s equilibrium oriented mind

Most of koreans has equilibrium oriented mind internally. Equilibrium oriented means the mind that  all the citizens have to share same portion of valuable resource. Many koreans thinks that they should not be imperior to others even though he cannot be superior to others. For example, if somebody buy a good quality of car or household goods, his neighborhood can be comfortable even after he acquire better quality of household goods. If soneone give a good quality of extra private education to his children, his neighbor is comfortable even after his children getting more expansive private eduacation. Korean’s highschool level equalization policy also tells how much koreans equilibrium oriented. I think that Koreans are really reluctant to give in the others in any competition. They cannot live with putting down in any competition.   

 

 


The changing role of women

It is often said that ‘when the hen roared, the home would be ruined’. For the past years, women have been restricted by traditional attitudes, and there are many systems which related to women. When you are pregnant, your husband would hang ‘chili’ if the baby is a boy, or hang ‘yellow rope’ in front of the house if the baby is a girl. However, nowadays, these are changing to bright inspect.

 First,women don’t do chores by themselves anymore at home. They share those things with their husbands. Even some holidays, women are not ordered by men,and even the granma, who is accustomed to the situation that women have been restricted by men, accepts that things.

 Second, there are no longer gendet discrimination at work. Nowadays, even ugly women don’t be discriminated by their faces (at least when they are working well-_-) So, there are more women ceos than before.

 Third, women are steping into the society widely! In Korea, Hyun Jung-Eun, who got 15.6percent of the votes, implemented great plans of Hynday Corp. How could imagine that happens before!

 As I mentioned above, women are not depend on men, they are full-fledged right now! So, I want you to notice about these situation. If you have stubborn mind that women can’t deal with the problems, you should change your mind.


Unfinished controversy between psycological theory and ratioanl theory

 In 1932, Great depression occurred in America and the country was flooded by needy. But the economy policy of Republican party was not change at all and they stick to the existing policy. But the democratic government pledge to deal with great depression by projecting new deal policy. After Democratic government inititate new deal policy, and economy has been improved a lot and they could save many needy. So they could create job opportunity, the approval rate of democratic party skyrocketing to the 60%. African Americans and white low class combined with other low class people. And all of them support democratic party. But in 1936 the approval rate of democrats are decrease more than 25%. Why the 25% of democrats turn to the republican party. Psycological perspective and rational perspectives are struggling with this issue.

Psycological perspective considerate party identificaiton as a important voting determinant and it is rarely changed. It’s point of view is that they were just come back to their own identity. So they said that the peoples who supported the democratic party between 1932 and 1936 were Republican originally. But they turn to the democratic party temporary and they come back to where they were.But Rational perspective believes that the expected utility is very important voting determinant. Rational perspective is that another factor influence them to turn to Rep and they respond to it rationally. They said that some kind of incident like economic depression take place and it lead to the decrease of democratic approval rate. They believe that the electorate are moving according to the expected utility.

    If the psycological perspective theory is true, the magnitude and speed that the party identification can be transformed is slow and gradual. So long term realignment is take place in 1936, it is also progressing now. But if we regard the approval rate of democrats in 1932 as the stream of long-term realignment, The theory cannot explain how the radically rasied approval rate in 1932 take place. It also cannot explain realignment. If the rational perspective is true, it proves that the expected utility is important voting determinant. And expected utility might be the cause of realignment. We can know it from radical graph of approval rate of democratic party. But it cannot explain the stable and gradual movement of republican party approval rate graph.

 


What’s the origin of regionalism?

What’s the origin of regionalism and what theory can explain the Korea’s regionalism?Because korean political party which is based on the regionalism nominate someone who is well connected with certain area as a candidate many citizens are under influence of regional feeling. Some people hate the other area person intentionally and they don’t want the candidate who is from another area elected. Regional feeling might be seemed as hatred toward the other area and attachment toward their hometown. It seems like that the psychological approach might be applied for the Korea’s election. But we have to think about the origin of regionalism deeply. If we look at the historical aspect, many former president promote regional feeling to extend their regime. They compensate for the people who live in certain area by developing their area. They construct the highway and industrial facility only in certain area. They could give some kind of expectation which their area will be more developed toward the area’s citizen. So Regionalism is based on the expected utility which is calculated by the electorate who consider their future advantage of their hometown and the possibility that they can advanced to the mainstream society. So regionalism is example of rational perspective. Regional voting is based on calaulation of expected utility
