Do you know the exact reason of the 2008 financial crisis? In my case I thought I knew, but I realized that I was all wrong after watching this movie. This movie criticizes the reality of this break down and wants to point out the problem of current America society that is ruled by the wall street key players.

By the bankrupt of the main companies like AIG, Lehman Brothers, and Godlman Sachs, there was a severe economic crisis in the year 2008. For the economies are all linked together, this financial crisis had a huge effect not only to America but also to the world economy. Millions and millions of people lost there job and loosed their money. This movie is showing how the 2008 financial crises occurred, and it is pointing out that the financial crises was occurred because of the corruption of the key players and employers who were the core of these main companies.

In this movie they interview economists, professors and CEOs who know well about the US economy and the financial crisis. These people all say that the 2008 financial crisis was decisively occurred by the deregulation. By this deregulation, the key players of the main companies played a fraud against the customers and laundered money. The most important thing is that within the company they tried to help conceal this fact. The irony is that the government hires these people as a the treasury secretary. So they call the government the ‘Wall street government’

Before I saw this movie I did not know that the 2008 financial crisis was occurred because of the company itself. As watching it, I realized that this movie has the same opinion as Jang Ha-joon who is an economist and a professor of Cambridge University. Jang Ha-joon emphasizes the role of the government and their regulation. He believes the role of the government should be expanded and the restrictions are necessary. I also think that because there were know regulations against there companies like Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs, they tried to only consider their profits and expand their volumes. So this financial crisis was not an accident but was caused by an out of control industry.

This movie simply interviews people and shows charts. However it has a great effect on showing people what is the truth about the break down of the US economy, and it also lets me think about the influential of America. We should always have an eye on the world economy because nowadays everything is linked together and they give and receive the impact.

Nowadays we can often hear of the word “globalization”. This word means the world is becoming closer and closer. So are the countries. We can say that the boundaries between countries have no meanings. As the world is becoming one, interracial marriage is also prevalent. However this can be an issue because there are not only advantages but disadvantages too.

To go ahead with the good influences interracial marriage can bring, I think that interracial marriage can solve population problems in Korea. Korea’s birthrate is low, and it keeps falling as years pass by. Therefore I see interracial marriage as a solution.

Interracial marriage can also help to improve political relations between countries. As the world is becoming closer, country’s economical, political, social events can give a big impact to each other. They need to help each other and these marriage can play an important role to improve relationships between countries.

Finally, interracial marriage can carry out cultural understanding. They can experience each others culture through marriage. It makes them learn their difference of culture, lifestyle and language They would have to tolerate and under stand each other.

However I know there are many problems as well, like the children of mixed percentage can experience a lot of difficulty and have identity crisis. Or parents themselves can also be treated bad and suffer from the difference of langage and culture. That is why I believe that their should be many programs that support these multi-cultural families, because the number of these families are increasing rapidly.

There are many arguments about interracial marriage. I think there many advantages and the problems will be solved, because as time goes by people are becoming open minded as the world is also becoming a global village. Interracial marriage is a natural happening and its number will increase. We should accept and regard it in a good way.

Last year, the National Labor Relations Board initiated a law suit against a company which fired a woman worker who mad abuse over her supervisor on the internet, Facebook. The Board announced that it is unfair discharge. According to the board’s announcement, “Expressing any complaints, dissatisfaction about company’s unfair decision or choice on Facebook or other SNSs (Social Network Service) is the freedom of expression. Giving opinions on colleague, supervisor or company is an appropriate action. It means that she has done nothing wrong.” However, the company which was given the lawsuit refuted the board’s statement as insisting that “the dismissal of her/ the reason of dismissal originated from her complicated wrong actions. She didn’t show us the appropriate actions but attacked her colleagues to speak out to the publicand even made a personal attack. Her actions must be unforgiven.”

In my opinion, making some nasty comments about somebody who is not happy with others could happen, and also is a kind of a catharsis. Especially, this phenomenon is more outstanding in our Confucian society, Korea.

Let’s make an easy situation to understand. There are two guys with different classes. A person with a low class is relatively short of opportunity for expressing his opinions with a high class, he can even be pressed down by the one with a high class. So, he would make bad or nasty comments about the guy with a high class to chase his stress away. But it is that not all the organizational members act like that. There may be a person who keeps and remains silent by just doing his job. However, it is an obvious fact that there are a lot of peoplewho would make abuse on somebody because they are not happy in their life.

Let’s get to the point. I also have been a member of society like school life, army, part-TIME job, so, sometimes I feel dissatisfaction with those life because I am not a perfect man. But with my military experience, I’ve realized a simple thing. Making nasty comments about somebody in a small way or in a direct manner is not a good solution to drive the negative mind away.

In the end, it would end up returning back to me as a curse when I become a leader in an organization. So, how should I react when I notice when somebody makes nasty comments about me?  Honestly, who will remain still when he knows about abuse on himself?

After all, the most important thing is the mental attitude. In one of the views of Asian aspects, it says that “When you have a negative mind in your world, it would come to you as all the negative things. But when you try to keep positive, all the pessimistic force would go away from your mind and it would bring all the good results to you.” I couldn’t agree with this saying more. Even though the case what I’ve mentioned is not Korean’s matter, I hope the thing would bring a good solution to both sides soon because I can’t be sure it couldn’t happen in Korea.

        Night falls silently and only moonlight illuminate what’s going on. There is sound “Ah woo”.With this, in the unexpected place, one by one, wolf comes out. They have very eager eyes and you can feel the hunger in these. If you were there, you can read their mind “Now time for enjoy the party”. And hunting object is the girl.

        Nowadays we can easily find the article about raping and other sexual stuff in the internet news. This is frequent subject because it attracts the man very easily. But this also true the fact that girl become more bravery than before about exposing their body and becoming more social problem. So what can we do about this? If we say that girl needs to be more woman of virtue, they might say that we are infringing their right. And if we just leave it alone, it just becomes the social problem and sometimes using for the tool to hide other problem like political scandal. But my answer is that they should be more careful about wearing sexual clothes because of three reasons. It’s very dangerous to take a risk of raping and it also harmful about real beauty and it cause generation gap between old and young.

           Like my hook’s description, man is very like a wolf. They’re usually instinctive and impulsive compared with girls. We are dangerous and simple animal. If girl learn to control, we become very tractable. Related with this, girl’s short skirt is provocative for man. To exposing their legs and walking around at the night is insane behavior. It just like saying, “please rape me”. I’m not only talking about the short skirts, all very sexual clothes. I’ve never seen this kind of clothes in other country except the girl is prostitute or clubber. This is one of the reasons our country’s raping rate is so high. So if you don’t want to have potential of raping, try to avoid this kind of clothes.

           And it also ruins the real beauty. Real beauty is not far from our ordinary life; actually in the mundane life we can find the real beauty. It came from the mind and their real appearance. It only can be bloom when they confront real them and caring about their identity. If girl get on sexy dress, it just remind of one-night stand partner. If they have time to wearing and caring about the sexy costume, it would be better caring about their mind and natural beauty.

           Last is generation gap. It is very natural to have gap between generations. They, the old, also know we have a gap and try to narrow this but it’s hard to accept to wearing this kind of clothes because in their age they don’t have this. I heard from one old guy saying, “tut,tut what’s going on to our society ”. We cannot just regard this of one old fool’s worrying. They already anticipate that how this causes the bad effect to the girl. So they don’t make the short skirts or provocative clothes. If we don’t wear the sexy clothes, it doesn’t affect to our life at all. Why don’t you give up for our social unity?

           Girl might say that they have right to do whatever they want. That’s true. Man wears the clothes whatever and they also have the same right. But it’s when they harm themselves. Man is considers as the animal. We are dangerous. If they don’t have the power to control man properly, they need to stop. But I don’t mean to complain about invention of sexy clothes. I intend to propose that why don’t you wearing sexy clothes in the appropriate situation like anniversary and party.

Feeling like blood goes to feet? Heart is beating so fast? not able to feel anything in hands and feet? Now you might think I am listing some symptoms of a disease, but I am not. These signs appear when people watch very thrilling action movies. ‘excitement’, ‘adrenalin’ are the most suitable words to describe action movies.

According to a survey conducted by Movie Goer, more than half of the americans love to watch action movies, and I myself prefer action movies to just a gentle comedy. Then, why do many people find it mesmerizing to watch action movies? As far as I am concerned, there are two reasons why so.

First, watching action movies can be a good way to relieve stresses. Many acquaintances of mine occasionally express that especially Friday night, after work, it is the best choice to watch exciting action movies. Imagine that today is Friday, and you are finally free, after all the stressful work and dealing with endlessly piled documents on the messy desk, and there is a very comfortable looking couch in the middle of a cozy living room equipped with a 7.1ch surround speaker, and it is time you chose whether watching a very dazzling and exciting action movie or a very sad movie that could make you feel more gloomy. Which one would you choose to watch?

Second, it is enjoyable to watch action movies as you watch action scenes, and generally no serious following up thinking is required. In other words, it is very casual. I would like to ask you if you have some experience that as a movie goes on, it feels like your brain is going to explode due to whether the movie is telling you very heavy political issues or has a very complicated movie plot. I assume that some people just want to enjoy their entertainment time. After that, when getting out of a movie theatre, people would find their faces looking like today is the end of the world. Just blood splashing fighting between robust and cold-blooded men, and breath taking car chasing and crashing with no depressing feelings. These are  why we like action movies.

In the final analysis, nowadays people are so stressed from their daily lives, and there is a tendency that people go to watch action movies to get all the excitement so that they are free from the stresses for a moment. Moreover, since action movies do not require us to think about other complicated matters, we can casually enjoy watching them. These two reasons are the beauty of action movies and what makes an action movie so mesmerizing to watch.

We usually like to talk about someone else’s secret. Especially, when we talk about celebrities or their life, we feel interested. All we surely know that privacy is very important and everyone has it. Also, we already know we have to protect privacy each other. At this point, in spite of that, we have an uncertain boundary in a part of celebrities’ privacy. However, I think we should think about celebrities’ privacy deeply and change our attitudes for the reasons; they are also the same human, a word of celebrity does not include that their life can be known to everyone, and celebrities give some effects to children directly.

           Celebrities are the same people like us fundamentally. We do not want our private life be spilled. Celebrities are thinking in the same way. They do not want other people to know their private life. They are living by people’s live and interest. Of course, if they commit a crime or break the law, it should be known to people. However, in a case of a celebrity’s family that they do not want to let people know, we should protect it from being spilled. As our privacy is important, we have to protect their privacy.

           The word, celebrity, does not mean that they allow people to know their secret and private life. Actors, singers, those are just their job as my job is a student. Celebrity is a kind of jobs. It does not include that their basic right to protect their privacy can be opened directly. Some people say that their private life is a one of their business. Some of celebrities might use their privacy as a living. However, I think most of them do not. When we see the foreign celebrities are struggling with paparazzi, we think celebrities’ life is not that fancy. Paparazzi is selling celebrities’ life to normal people. They do not want to miss even a small portion of a celebrity’s day, so they track him all day long. We can enjoy the celebrities’ life which is out of TV and Movie. In other words, they do not have their life at all. In the similar concept, it is just like they are working for 24 hours.

           Lastly, as I said before, if a celebrity commits a crime, we have a right to know it because he is a public figure and he gives a big influence on people. However, if in a case of their sexual relationships or sexual things, should we know? Do we have to know? I do not think in that way. If we know, it can be a very hot issue. However, it will affect people, especially, children. If a celebrity whom children really like and love have an issue about unhealthy sexual thing, some children think that the unhealthy thing is a matter to happen. It can make children’s mind disordered.

           For those reasons, I strongly think we should protect celebrity’s privacy. Their job is not to tell their secret life. Singers’ role is to give us good songs and actors and actresses’ role is making good movies and dramas. If we really like and love a celebrity, so we know their private life deeply, it can be bothering him. We should observe good manners each other.

      “My homeroom teacher is a man!” With a new year in a school, lots of primary school students expect who is classmate and homeroom teacher. If their homeroom teacher is a man, it is very unique case because according to an article of Jung-Ang Daily which published in October, 2008, female teachers are occupied about 90% in Korean elementary school. Because of this gender imbalance in primary school, the Seoul education tried to introduce the rule, quota for employing male teachers, which is that the schools have to select male teachers over 30%. People who insist this rule point out the problems that male students can build sexual identity by male teachers, the school need powerful guidance to lead students to right road, and the female teachers’ physical problem can be covered by male teachers. The quota for employing male teachers, however, is not necessary because of sexual identity, the role of guidance, and discrimination.

      First of all, the sexual identity of students is not built in the school but in the home. Children can have the first experience of society in their family relationship. In this, they can learn the gender role by observing what father do and what mother do. It means that the behavior of father and mother give the first image of gender identity to the children not the teachers behavior. Also, what the more influence thing to students of sexual identity is a sex education not the male or female teacher. Therefore, to help students build their sexual identity, the school should concentrate on the right behavior of their parents and the right sex education not the rate of male teachers.

      Moreover, powerful guidance of male teachers is not good for students. The guidance by using physical punishment can stop students’ aberration temporarily, but it cannot be the ultimate way to change behaviors of the students. For example, the Youth Right Center surveyed some high school students such as Pung-moon and Duk-sung high school about corporal punishment. This survey shows that most of students have resistance to physical punishment of authoritative teachers. The guidance in school has to start with communication between teachers and students, so prescriptive and coercive atmosphere of male teachers’ punishment is not a way to lead students in school life.

      In addition, it is a discrimination that the school evaluate some problems caused by female teachers such as a lack of extracurricular programs’ physical ability and ability of contract teachers because of regular teachers’ menstrual, maternity leave. Employing male teachers more for various extracurricular programs like a track meet or retreat is the way of looking down all people who prepare teacher certification examination. This is because selecting male due to the fact that he has better physique than female even though female has great grade in the test is one of the sexual discriminations. Also, underestimate of contact teachers who are hired because of regular female teachers’ absence is one of the class discriminations and this is unfair.

      The school is the place where teaching students for the better future of our society. Therefore the schools have to concentrate on not how to balance female and male teachers’ ratio but how to teach and guide students to right path. Also, hiring male teachers for helping boy students form sexual identity by male teachers, leading students by physical punishment, and separating female and male teachers by using physical differences and contact, regular teachers is not a necessary way for the students.    

      In 2002, the red waves rose all of the region in Korea. All the red waves were delighted with each movement of players for a goal. Korea was beaten by Lebanon in a 2014 World Cup qualifying match on November 15, 2011. Have the 2014 World Cup ahead, the 2002 World Cup which was co-hosted by the Korea and Japan come up to many people. Thanks to World Cup in 2002, Korean was evaluated as one of the most dynamic people and they could have opportunity to promote the nation “Korea” to all over the world. The 2002 World Cup, however, didn’t give Korea advantages because of economic, forgetting important problems, and relationship between Korea and Japan.

      Above all, the World Cup didn’t help Korean economic development. Before holding the World Cup, Korea Development Institute predicted that Korea can create 12 trillion won and 350 thousand jobs. This turned out, however, it is just a matter of giant fantasy. The FEER, Far Eastern Economic Review, the economy magazine managed by Dow-Jones said that after the World Cup Korea had to get through the ‘World Cup Slump’ because the enormous investment for building stadium is far from long- term consumption and production.

      Besides, so many social issues were forgotten because of the World Cup’s fever. Vladimir Tihonov who is Oslo National University’s Koreanology professor in Norway stated that the World Cup hid our social lives’ dark sides and just focus on the shown sides. This statement can explain the matter clearly in Korea. At that time Korea had problems such as matter of temporary employee and foreign worker but most of the Koreans concentrated on just the World Cup. Because of this, those problems couldn’t be solved and got even worse. Also, the World Cup caused the local election’s low turnout. It led to political indifference and some parties used it for their authority. According to research at National Election Commission from 20s to 30s elector’s turnout was just 26.3 percent in the vote during the 2002 World Cup. 

       In addition, many experts who study the relationship between Korea and Japan insisted that World Cup was the good chance of improving partnership with Japan because of co-hosting. The partnership, however, didn’t go well. Korea and Japan insisted single host at first but it was miscarried because of extreme competitions between two nations. This competition caused two countries to have more conflicts, as well. Also, Korea and Japan have problems such as territorial dispute of Dok-Do and distorting of history until now.    

      The 2002 World Cup is the event that most Koreans cannot forget forever because of an impressive achievement of Korean national team. Contrastively with this, the 2002 World Cup didn’t bring impressive result to Korean society. The Korean society had to experience World Cup Slump because of an earnest investment. Also, Korean didn’t consider the important issues such as the temporary, foreign worker problem and the local vote. The relationship between Korea and Japan which expected to be better didn’t develop to good way as well. Consequently, the 2002 World Cup isn’t benefit to the Korean society.

      On April 3rd, 1973, Dr. Martin Cooper who is an inventor of cell phone called to Joel and said “Joel, I call you using real cellular phone. The cell phone!” After invention of cell phones, they have advanced as a medium of sending message, taking a picture and video, commercial dealing, and tracking the location beyond just calling tool. Even today, smart phones which can be used as portable computer are invented. With the innovative invention in the field of phone, the number of people who use cell phone and smart phone is rising. Cnet, an online IT company in America, reported that Portio Research in England released the report about the percentage of cell phone users is 50 at this time and it will be 80% in 2013 on October 29th, 2008. Nate’s online article on February 9th, 2010, referred that according to The Economist, a magazine of the England, more than four thousand-million cell phones are used in the globe. This alludes that we live in the world of cell phone. The cell, smart phones which seem to give lots of convenient ways of living modern culture, however, affect the society as a bad ways because of unhealthy, information gap, and classroom environment.

      First of all, a harmful effect to physical health is one of the reasons. Using cell phone causes thumb arthritis because of too much amount of sending text messages with some applications like Kakao Talk and Tic Talk which produce infinite massage. According to National Statistical Office in Korea, 40% of people send more than 1000 text messages. If people use thumb repetitive and extravagance, this motion gives pain to finger muscles and tendons. So, it causes arthritis and damage of finger joint. Thumb has the simplest exercising radius so it has bigger side effect than any other fingers. Furthermore, Jong Yun Hwang, the author of “The assesment of spatial recognition memory on mice after prenatal exposure to mobile phone wave in utero” says that electromagnetic wave of mobile is absorbed in human body and it puts up temperature of body. So, human tissues get damaged. Also, prolonged exposure to electromagnetic wave adversely affect to organisms which have rapid cells growth such as lymph, marrow, and neuron. It causes the high incidence of leukemia, testicular cancer, breast cancer, electromagnetic hypersensitivity, etc. For example, the National Cancer Center’s professor Seung-Kuan Myeung reports in “Using cell phone and dangerousness of tumor” that people who use cell phone have higher incident of tumor than people who do not use and people who use mobile more than 10 years have a thirty percent greater risk of cancer.

      The second drawback is having cell phone causes information gap due to the gap between the rich and poor. In the past, cell phone is one of the ostentation tools of people’s wealth. The price of cell phone was very high about 24 million in 1990s so, there were just a few people having mobile. As time goes by mobile’s price is getting lower and it causes almost people can have cell phone. These days, however, smartphone, the advanced type of cell phone having high price, is spreading to people. It provides many information which can get from the net and book, but its price and phone charges is too high to buy and use. So many people such as lower-income group can’t buy smartphone. With booming mobile’s various information services, the new group of data neglected class turns up. According to National Information Society Agency, information gap index is 61.9% in 2009 and it rise compare with last year the reason of prevalence smartphone. Sung ill Lee, Sung Kyun Kwan University’s System Management and Engineering professor, says owing to spreading of smartphone different type of information gap appears. For instance, Pukyoung National University’s Department of Mass Communication professor Sang Ki Lee says in his report named “Cell phone’s functions and risk” that people feel the biggest burden in using mobile at financial problem. Also, the research by Albamon, portal site for students’ part time job, shows 44% of respondent can’t but smartphone because of it is too expensive. So, people who can’t buy smartphone are not able to get useful information which smartphone users can obtain. It causes the big information gap between them and it promotes an atmosphere of social disharmony.

      Furthermore, the classroom environment in school is going bad with dissemination of phones especially smart phones. According to an article which was published on November 24, 2011, the number of students who records course works and sleeps in the undergraduate class tends to be rising. Even though students don’t sleep, they search the Internet by using the smart phone. These situations affect badly to students who want to study and participate in class so, the problem is serious. The students are used to enjoy online game and search the Internet. What’s worse is that some of the students use smart phone for finding out an answer of the test in the mid-term, final exam. Because of this problem, Daegu Health College in Korea set up a locker only for smart phone in each lecture room. Before the lecture is start, most of the students put their phones in the locker and they concentrate on just the lecture without doing other things. This proves that the smart phone disturb students to study and muddy the lecture environment.

      The IT is developing rapidly and lots of smart applications come out day by day. The first invention of cell phone brought people to make communication much easier than past time and this changed ways to contact each other. The next invention of smart phone brings people to approach huge amount of information and media. These innovative progresses give people convenient life, but it is obvious that this development give people harm effect such as physical problem, polarization in getting information, and bad influence in lecture environment.

      When we see people who avoid foreigner before they initiate a conversation, it is a very gloomy occasion. In Korea, English education is a compulsory education and Korean students learn English for 10 years at least. Although Korea tries to encourage studying English, people cannot speak in English and it seems very weird. So, for improving Koreans’ English skill and getting economic advantages, I suggest some ways very cautiously by using some strict law.

      At first, the media in Korea have to be forced using only English. Such as news, documentary, drama, show, and even gag programs should be made using only English. To get information and pleasure, people have to have ability to do English well because they can understand what the media say with English ability. If some people make Korean subtitles and produce them, the government confines those people in the room which have nothing to communicate with the outdoor society for blocking the source of approaching Korean.

      Furthermore, Korean government has to enact a law which people should speak in English in public area. If someone doesn’t follow this law, polices arrest and send the person to English countries as a slave. It is quite good solution because sending English countries such as America, Australia, and England earns foreign currency. Also, the person who is sent to Anglophone culture can acquire English naturally, so they can speak in English fluently in all public place in Korea after they come back.

      If the same person does not follow twice after he or she come back to Korea, the law make their tongues cut. These tongues, surely, are used very useful ways. According to historical book, a stammering person ate tongue dish for his pronunciation. Likewise, the cut tongue will be sold to Korean who wants to speak English very well. Although it isn’t sold by Korean, don’t worry. People can export excellent material for food to Japan or China. Japanese does like cow tongue cuisine, so they try to find another tongue food for their tongue. Also there are very giant kinds of food and ingredient in China. It means that we can sell our tongue to China and it will be very good point us to earn foreign currency.

      This law work really effectively. If people don’t follow this law, Korea can get economic benefit. Also, if people do follow this law, people who travel Korea feel comfortable to go sightseeing Korea. It leads Korea to have good image for tourist and this has advantage even interchange with other countries by offering good labor force and ingredient of food.
