We should know each country’s table manners.

As we know different country has different table culture. So we should pay attention to those cultures in order to have a good table manner when we meet people on the dinner. If we dont know those cultures very well, we might make people angry. You can breed misunderstanding. So it is very important to study on the table manners.

Moreover, if we dont know each others eating habits, we can misunderstand others easily. If someone eats by hands, you can think that he/she is barbarian. Each countrys unique culture is reflected in table manner. It means that you can understand their culture. So, you can get a good opportunity to maintain good atmosphere in your dinner time.

However, with being under stress, follow table manner is worthless. Eating is most basic right. There is a most important thing that we should think about our own right. As there are different countries exist, there are different table manner exist, too. You dont need to imitate others table manner blindly. Whose manner is better than yours? Nobody can measure its level. If somebody looks uncomfortable, you can explain your eating way. It could be a good chance to learn each others culture.

Causing an Unheaval by Mistranslation

‘The entire carcass of cattle not inspected and passed for human consumption is also prohibited unless  the cattle are less than 30 months of age, or the brains and spinal cords have been removed’  was one of the contents of negotiation. I think nowaday’s conflict was originated because of the misunderstanding of the word ‘unless’ in the content. Instead of traslating it as ‘even if’ they should have translated it into ‘if not’. This is common sense to the people who have studied in the English education curriculums in Korea. At least, that negotiation was handled by those we usually say well-educated people. Who is in charge with it? Is it the one who mistranslated or the USA who used the word ’unless’ ? The president Lee is losing his credit and the situation is getting worse. The government should step on the right and reasonable process to make the citizens live in their country without the fear of the ‘Mad Cow’. Not anymore. It took so long.

Child’s Corporal Punishment at Home

We should ban a corporal punishment at home. Actually, the government made a child abuse criminalized, but the problem is, we can’t find out whether the case is the child abuse or not. In Korea traditionally, there’s a saying, ‘Don’t interrupt other family’s business’,but the thing is that, we still interrupt when their parents behave suspiciously. As you know, it’s hard for children to call the police by themselves. So, children might just remain as the victim. Some says that the most of the corporal punishment don’t case the child abuse but the rate of the actual child abuse is keep increasing. So, corporal punishment  should be banned to profect children from a child abuse.

However, some others say that, parents can give corporal punishment in Korea. The reasons are mainly because, a children don’t reconsider their behavior just by the conversation. Actually, some people say it’s a child abuse  and causes the violence. But any way, in this situation, a corporal punishment can be useful because they are aware that they can be painful if they do the same thing again. And also, the important thing is that, the degree of punishment should be controlled. By doing that,  a corporal punishment will  lead the children to the right direction.    

Parents should corporal purnisment to purnish their children (assignment)

There’s no doubt that nowadays many parents use corporal punishment to discipline their children. Because, it is hard for children as the immature to understand their parents’ every word. Therefore, corporal punishment can be helpful to parents for raising their children well and making children learn more.

However, children don’t need corporal punishments. They are human being so they can understand and know what’s good or bad. Moreover, corporal punishment is a kind of violence. When parent use corporal punishment, they might feel mad. Sometime, they lose their mind. That’s just violence. Violence can cause another violence. When a child who used to be given corporal punishment grows up as an adult, he or she will become violent.

Moreover, it is possible for children that using violence for solving problem is ok by corporal punishment. If parents spank their children to fix something wrong that their children did, it would be acceptable for their children to use violence as a solution of problems. Violence never can be a solution. But corporal punishment continues the chain of violence.

We should have good table manners

There are so many countries in the world, and different countries have different table manners. So we should pay attention to those table manners, while we eating with those people who have different culture, and try to leave behind a good impression.  

However, different people have different opinion. Some people think that it is unnecessary to change our own way of eating to adapt others’, because our own table manner is good enough.

Compared with the above viewpoint, I still think we should learn different cultures and have good table manners.  As the old saying goes, “do in Rome as Rome does”.  If we respect others’ manners and customs, others will treat us in a friendly way.  If we don’t follow, maybe we’ll be regard as rudeness.

Examination system should be banned in university. (assignment)

Examination system should be banned in university.

First, students only focus on the results. They think highly of the result of exam than the process they really have learned. Since they ignore the important process and principle in scholarship as if students only memorize a formula instead of prove in math at the high school times, they naturally come to get a perception about how to get a better record on their mindset. As a result, pure scholarship is degraded and university also degrades to job factory on these days.

Second, University lost live education so-called Veritas. They couldn’t study deeply from bottom of their heart but do the superficial study as the way to scratch the surface of watermelon. Despite they did their best to memorize their study to take a test well during semester, what they’ve learned has gone away from their brain after end of semester. They have done the temporary study depending on their short-term memorization. The memorization based on indoctrinated education ignores their creative ability on their potential.

Finally, examination becomes a tool to control the students strictly. The way to grade is very harsh and stressful for students. Despite 20’s is a golden age of life, they lost their happiness in their life. Students need to be free from ties of stress and suppression.

A Corporal punishment in the home should be banned

A corporal punishment in the home should be banned because of the possibility of misused such as a child abuse and if it is, it is hard for children to report the police.

First, children are too young to explain their opinions, so their parents inflict punishment on them automatically. Another thing to consider is that parents feel difficult to control their anger, so sometimes they loose their selves.

However, there are children who repeat the same misbehaves over and over in spite of parents advice, warning and other ways except a corporal punishment. In my experience, when I did something wrong, my mother used to spank me. After that, I couldnt make the same fault because it was so painful. Its common in Korea and many people might consider a corporal punishment in the same way. Most people think that it is necessary to punish children before ruining them by too much caring about their emotion. The purpose of a corporal punishment is somewhat appropriate, but its hard to know their emotion. That is, how much it damages children mentally and physically and how it will affect them as they grow. Even worse, its difficult to judge whether its a child abuse or not unless it is banned. Traditionally Koreans believe that one should not interrupt others family businesses. Still Koreans feel uneasy to report the police when their neighborhood behavior is suspicious. It should be banned in the hometo protect children from a child abuse.

A Corporal Punishment Should be baned at home. (assignment)

In the 1950s’ America experienced a huge change in education system. The baby boomers became parents and they start to raise their children with no corporal punishment. However, nowadays teenagers in America don’t seem to respect their parents and hard to find family companionship. It is because they value individual benefit the most. In the contrary, ‘Respect’ is traditionally valued as national value in Korea. Like this every country has different value and it is hard to say which is better. For this reason, some people think we should accept corporal punishment because Korean traditionally accepts it to teach their children at home. Korean has valued home education very much, so corporal punishment is used as one of method to correct their children.

However, there is one thing we have to consider people worry about. When parents punish their children, it’s difficult for them to punish excluding their emotion. If they find out their children have done something wrong, they suddenly get angry. Then parents spank the children first instead of telling why they should inflict punishment. This might hurt the children’s emotion and also their bad habits will not be fixed.

It is true parents can correct them if children do something wrong. However corporal punishment is not good because it is child abuse and violence. Children are too young to explain their opinion. A traditional value, respect also bothers them. When they get punishment they must submit it automatically. In addition parents can be getting and getting emotional feeling when they inflict it. If child do not accept their parents’ conversation, we should find out other way to correct them instead of hitting.

Examinations should be banned in the university. (assignment)

Examinations should be banned in the university. There are many exams in schools and it sometimes helps us to remember what we have learned. However, in the tendency of memorizing what the teacher highlighted or emphasized, we only focused on what we need for the exams. Therefore we probably won’t remember it later on. If we could study with joy and curiosity in school, the knowledge will never be forgotten. This is just on reason why exams should be banned in the university.

There’s another reason should be considered that students just do the temporary study which only depending on short-term memorization. The examinations cause lots of side effects students who only want to acquire a good grade. 

Even worse, those students who get high grades may actually don’t understand what they have learned. Most students just stay the night before the exam and recite books. And some students feel stressful because of the lots of stuffs which should be recited before the exam. As you can see, what exams give students is that spending a lot time on recitation and get a high grade without actually learn anything. So if there’s no exams in the university, students could learn better.

Parents should use corporal punishment to their children at home.

Parents should use corporal punishment to their children at home.

Corporal punishment at home can make their children have good behavior. Some parents might not agree. Because they say that everyone has human right and it’s parents’ responsibility to protect their children and teach them in a healthy and kind way. Of course, if parents could calm down and have a talk with children when they did something wrong, children might understand and find the mistakes by themselves.

However, there is even worse result. If you just gave discipline by word, children wouldn’t correct their behavior and would pretend to regret what they have done in that moment. In addition, they would do the same mistakes soon. Because, that way can’t scare your children.

Corporal punishment is like a hot stove. If children touched a hot stove and felt hot, they would not touch it again. To realize what’s wrong or not about children’s behavior, physical reaction is needed. In this reaction, little pain might be included, but it is helpful for children not to do wrong behavior again.
