Most people usually live without distinguishing between success and happiness. And I’m in thinking like most people. But if your children enter a good university and join a certain big company and earn the much money, you could really consider that your children feel happy? Most people think so. Even though it is like a good partner relation between success and happiness, but it’s not necessarily that. I assured happiness only belong to their own mind each other.

First reason is that some people are more important love than a certain success. For example, in many dramas and movies, heroes and heroines initially was full of ambition and then they fall in love each other. So they used to give up their dream that they continually long for to succeed. Is this only belong to in drama and movie? In Titanic movie, they exist on in movie? That reflect reality. Tomas said “ it is love, not reason, that is stronger than death. He expressed love is the most greater thing compared with other things.

Second reason is that some people are more important honor than success. You may think what difference is between honor and success. But I considered that even though honor is kind of success, there are a little distinction. Honor is to only feel pride in their mind, success include honor, authority, much money. If someone is low raking policy and he proud of their job that fight for justice against force. If he died to fight a villain, he feel the happiness to him by doing honorable thing He already have happiness in their life. Honor is more important thing someone than only success.

Third reason is doing what he want to do is more important than success.
If someone seeks to outer success, he have never had thing what he want to do. the things that they seek is only benefit. So they gradually lost real meaning of life by mistaking that profit is only all my thing. Someone to what he wants to do is not consider money and profit is not everything in his life. They feel good their job or thing what they want to do.

In conclusion, I don’t consider just bad thing success. But success is very slightly kind of happiness. Success may be happiness, but happiness cannot success. Because it’s up to each mind they feel happiness.

Most minorities have had difficulties in given the chance that become upper-class and take up professional in U.S as compared with the whites until now. The Korean images get better in U.S. nowaday, but they are still troubled with discrimination and disfavor because of wrong awareness and stereotype. This wrong awareness about Korean-American could be confirmed easily in many movies and drama which show Korean-American is cruel and cold-heated. If you think the movies reflect social problem and awareness but just not fictional products, there are many problems being not easily acceptable in many movies. However, I assure that in this circumstance, they can succeed in upper class. Because of pride of their root, communicating other races and breaking their wrong stereotype.

To begin with , the Korean-American have confidence about their Own. When they bear in mind their spirit, they can get more high and Professional leader. The Korean-American don’t mean the person who simply live in U.S. They put their root in Korean thought, history and tradition. It will be real Korean-American when they transplant their spirit from our country to U.S. Hong-Jo Ko, who recognize country’spolitical situation in problematic, have tried to improve for the better atmosphere. The most important reason about their behavior is that on underlying of them. If there is not identity steely and they know that if they aren’t. It will be impossible to succeed in there. So we have to break the stereotype that Korean has small mind and they seldom appeal oneself. For this, it is on the first side to make reputation of ability of ours and parents also devote to education by which they can confirm themselves as Korean-American by having a sense of purposeand identity.

Second of my idea is that American-Korean should have mind more globally by openly communicating various races. Immigration or going abroad for better education is more and more increasing. But it’s very common to stuck themselves in with isolating from other. David Kim who succeed in America said that “ how Do I break glass ceiling in U.S society? you need to break out of the crust which formed by yourself. You’d better communicate with the outside than being obessed in a score. America has very extrovert atmosphere. They give a opportunity to everyone. So who has confidence about and well communicate with other will has more possible to win in the new world.

Finally, Korean-American should break wrong stereotype. Most minorities have had stereotype that they consider to receive discrimination. So they consider to receive low education, wage and welfare. But like Obama, there are many successful minorities. They more tried to succeed in upper class than whites. I assumed it is not related between efforts and racial discrimination. In given circumstance, Korean-American also should try more hard than whites. And then they must secceed in US.

In conclusion, as most successful people have the feature to succeed, If Korean-American understand rightly about US by acute analyst and establish their root and try hard, Korean-American can enjoy the better life in there. And no more American dream is just dream.

I saw the news about weather today. It recorded the coldest in this year. However, if we go out, we can see lots of students who do not wear outers. They are wearing only school uniform. Even girl students wear only skirt. If you are Korean, you absolutely know the uncomfortable feelings and inconvenience. However, school knows these things, but they made a rule that students cannot wear any outer except for school uniform. Many parents are disagreeing with this rule, but school is keeping on following it. They are giving us 3 reasons for the rule; Some students’ outers can make disharmony, it can give pressure to parents, and some students do not prefer to wear school uniform inside of the outer.

           First, some students’ outers can give disharmony to other students. Nowadays, students regard the outer from the brand, The North Face, as a normal thing. However, the price of it is over 400,000 to 500,000 won. It is almost the similar as monthly institution fee. Because most students are wearing it, many students who do not have one think they have to buy and wear it as soon as possible. Cloth is the way to present their individual personality. However, they are ignoring it and just following the trend.

           As I said a second ago, the specific brand of the outer costs very highly and many students think they have to wear it without any choice. Therefore, they say to their parents to buy it for themselves. The price of it is a big part of average income. If the children keep on saying that they want to buy and wear it, the parents would have no choice finally. Therefore, it can be another burden to the parents.

           Last but not least, by the outers, students do not prefer the school uniform jacket. School uniform is controlling what students do naturally. However, students wear the outer instead of the school uniform jacket. If they are students, they have to wear school uniform even though they do not want to do. Most of the Korean students have worn school uniform every day. It is students’ duty.

           Even though in the very cold weather, it is very hard to endure chilly days with only school uniform. However, by the outers, there are several negative effects to school, students and their parents. If the problems are solved out, they will be able to wear outers to their school.

Living as a mobile Big Brother subject

 

Now the world is going to be the mobile cloud war. It looks like very simple but its meaning is very complex. The competition for being a lord of the mobile cloud empire has never been more intense. The IT world is war without gunfire. It’s not a territorial dispute between countries but a bloody fight between companies to control the human mind in exchange for the convenience of the technology. George Orwell’s Big Brother is not a crap anymore. The reproduced world in the process of this war is going to transcend the world of Big Brother. However, the reality of the Big Brother, it offers efficiency, convenience of working and all sorts of entertainment to people through the mobile cloud. In short, it means that people won’t criticize the mobile Big Brother. Rather, many people will praise and appreciate based on that loyalty! How can they just turn their backs on that ‘great empire’?

 

(1) Is it ‘Big Brother’? or Is it a Companion of life?

 

Since proved that Apple and Google were known to gather personal location information, smartphone users have been confused psychologically. Location-tracking controversy which was initiated from the fear of invasion of privacy and the possibility of leaking of private information have been recently a hot topic with a charge of mobile advertising agency of Korea and search of the National Police Agency for Google Korea and Daum Communications. The number of smartphone users in Korea reached the ten million and the newest devices built in two-way communication show up at all hours while public’s concern about invasion of privacy is also growing. Because people did not anticipate the smartphone era, the boundary that what is legal or illegal is blurred, so the perspectives of the police and the Korea Communications Commission(KCC) facing the issue are in disagreement. What is going on around us? Let me arrange the contentious issues.

 

(2) Smartphone Location Information ; Lost between legal and illegal

 

“Mac address is personal information,” said the Police.

“It’s just location information,” said Korea Communication Commission.

 

The current Korean location privacy protection law imposes the citizens to get its permission first and to register to do the location-based business using the location information. Thus, in case of collecting the location information by getting the permission from the KCC or providing the location-based service after registering, itself is not illegal. However, it is a different story if the information is a personal information. The police announced that the mobile advertising agency had an unfair advantage by collecting personal information such as pointer data(latitude and longitude) and mac addresses(the identification number for Wi-Fi connection) for advertising targeting specific regions. The announcement means that the police concluded pointer data and mac address are ‘personal location information’. If this information is personal location information of users, it must be stated the government’s permission, consent and users’ approval as well as user location information the use range, purpose in terms that. Then the used information also must be discarded immediately after the use. The police believe that the mobile advertising agencies collected the personal location information without the smartphone users’ prior consent. However, the KCC and the other mobile phone companies strongly insist that it is impossible to identify the personal location information only with the pointer data and mac address. “the police interpreted the personal location information too broadly,” said an official.

 

(3) Possibility for personal identification with personal information

 

The possibility of personal identification with pointer data collected by mobile advertisement agencies and mac address provoke another controversy. The problem is that a specific person can be exposed anytime. MAC address is indicated by the unique number (12 digits assigned to the network equipment, 34-15-9E-F4-C6-E3). The front Six-digit indicates the producers and they give the latter six digits assigned to each unit. While the police insist that tracking a specific person is too easy because mac address assigned to each terminal is different, mobile phone companies refute upon the police by claiming that it is impossible to locate a specific person. “Opinions that the police misconceive of the range of personal location information are dominant among the KCC.” said an official. For a while, it seems to be the prosecution holds the key to the solution of the case because the current law on personal location has not been specifically determined, so the question is the decision of the prosecution.

 

(4) Apple’s collecting location information is another problem.

 

Apple’s collecting location information and other mobile advertisement agencies’ are two different things. It’s because the collected data and the purpose are different. Apple gathers the nearby Wi-Fi and base stations information to support iPhone users to get location information service more easily. Some people criticize the collection of information itself, but it is inevitable to use a smartphone.

According to the Police, the problem is that the collected data is still stored for long-term by the mobile agencies without encryption. Apple admitted its mistake explaining that they certainly collected the data but it was just a bug, not for more than ten months. Apple promised to rectify this problem through upgrading operating system (OS) in the near future. However, Apple strongly denied a lot of comments about location-tracking. As smartphone platform operators, Apple and Google gather location information. It’s because they take a position that they should let the location-based service providers know to provide the convenient location information service such as giving direction to the near restaurant or destination. Apple and Google, received a location information business license from South Korea Government.

 

- It still remains to be seen whether location-tracking is controversial.

 

Some might even detect the whiff of desperation because the obvious solution for this controversy is still not coming out. There is just controversy…..

However, important point that we should never forget is that even though the tremendous advances in technology have penetrated deeply into our life and in such benefits, personal freedom and dignity can be thoroughly collapsed. George Orwell’s Big Brother of ‘1984’ simply does not only exist anymore in the world of the book. Even now that Big Brother is currently underway and it can be completed in our indifference. As long as we don’t give up the entertainment, efficiency and convenience of working, being a subject of the empire is up to the willingness of the people. Big Brother seemingly does not force people to be subjects of the empire. But the human crawls into the empire.vAs I mentioned that, a war between countries was just like ‘a land picking’ in the past but a war between IT companies to build ‘mobile Big Brother world’ is now more like ‘a human mind picking’. If companies embarked on this war have intention or not, it could result in negative results. We might live as the subjects of the empire, by being lost the past memories, or mortgaged the spirit, and also we might consider it as the acquisition of the new technology. That’s the message of George Orwell through ‘1984’ and the point we have to watch out most.

 

 

 

 

I believe the most memorable time to Korean are the 2002 World Cup. The 2002 World Cup was hosted by South Korea and Japan between May 31st and June 30th. It was the first World Cup held in Asia. People all around the world came to both Korea and Japan to see soccer games. Korean were very excited about this ever since the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games which were also held in Korea. They even made it to the semifinals for the first time in 48years. Some people say that the 2002 World Cup was a financial burden to Korea, but I think it was beneficial to South Korea in many aspects.

I think that the 2002 World Cup was a great success and it was obviously profitable to South Korea. First, the World Cup was an opportunity profitable to South Korea. First, the World Cup was an opportunity to let the world know about Korea’s presence. Many people didn’t know about Korea. Some people have not even heard about Korea. They were only interested in Korean soccer but they also got to know more about Korea’s culture and tradition. It also made many foreign tourists come to South Korea after the World Cup was over.

Second, the World cup make Korea and Japan have a closer relationship. Korea was once a colony of Japan. Many Koreans have had bad feelings against Japan for a long time. It could be said that the anger at Japan unified South Koreans, and the sentiment was getting worse. However the World Cup brought harmony and unity between these two countries, and Korean’s attitudes are improving in a good way since this event.

Third, the World cup strengthened the solidarity of South Korea. The whole nation bonded together in cheering the country. Thousands of people assembled in front of the City Hall of Seoul to root for the soccer game. After the game was over they showed their cooperation and a sense of public order by cleaning up the trash. This also improved Korea’s image worldwide.

Some might say that the 2002 World Cup was responsible for South Korea’s financial burden. They say that it took a lot of money to hold the World Cup. I do not agree with this. It did coast a tremendous amount, but the it also gave a priceless benefit to South Korea in both material and immaterial ways. After the World Cup tourists increased and South Korea is still earning large amounts of foreign currency. This is showing that foreign countries’ interests in Korea are growing and the world is focusing on Korea. The World Cup has played a big role in such happening. I’ve realized the powerful influence of sports, and I looking forward to the 2018 Pyunchang Winter Olympics also held in Korea.

       These days, I have been planed go abroad for studying my major, English and Japanese. More specifically, my majors are English Language and Literature and Japanese Language and Culture. The fundamental stuff for those major is mastering the language. For studying the countries’ culture or literature, I think mastering the language is essential thing. This is the most important and hard thing to me. I never have been in English speaking countries or Japan, so when I take classes in university, I feel inferior feeling in my English and Japanese, because most of students have some experiences abroad. Thus they are good at those languages and familiar with those cultures. Most of all, they have confidence in their second language. I also have interest in foreign countries a lot, so I want to be like them.

       Because of those reasons, I became want to go abroad for me before it is too late. The time has slipped by and my junior in my university was almost done. Until finishing the four-year course, just one year left. How can I improve my second language considering other stuff like not only second language acquisition, but also financial problems and diverse experiences? I decided to apply for getting Working Holiday Visa. Working Holiday Visa is giving the chance to live in abroad permitting working, learning and travelling for young people who are from age of 18 to 30 for a year. The contracting parties of Working Holiday are Australia, Canada, Japan, Ireland, France, Denmark, Hong Kong and so on. There are many countries and I’m planning to go Japan and Canada among them. I want to improve not only English but also myself. Then, let’s talk about what I want to attain in there and what is important for me.

       Obviously, English and Japanese, mastering second languages is the first. It is because I like to study another language and my major requires it. Of course, in Korea, I can study second language but, there is no many opportunity to speak foreign language in Korea. Just in class or academy, I can practice easily. I tried to practice with my friends or family, but they don’t want to talk in other language because they are not interest in studying second language. Also, there are some subtle differences in native language. I want to catch it and fix my second language in right way for getting confidence.

       Moreover, I want to learn how to live alone and be accustomed to other culture. I never have lived alone. This is shame in western culture, but in Korea, many young people live in parents’ house until they graduate university or marry. However, I think I should foster independence myself. Also, I would become be able to manage the cost of living and could have strong ability to maintain my livelihood. Only I should deal with some crisis alone so, it can raise my adaptability and make react quickly to rapidly changing situations too.

       Furthermore, by traveling I will be able to meet many diverse friends. It is very cherish experience. In the process, my dream or goal might be changed. Also my values of my life can be changed. In young age, I can make a money, travel, and learn other language in foreign countries. I’m sure it will effect enormously on me.

       I’m very excited nowadays by thought of going abroad by Working Holiday Visa. The reason why I wrote this essay is to organize my thoughts before applying for the visa. I’m not sure whether I could get all the things I wanted or not. However, as it says “the way to gain what you want is to want first”, I will always want for becoming the person I wanted to be.

Interest is a power. To be successful, we must find the most wanted to do, of course, this is our able to do, so we are able to go to work hard every day,and also likely to be successful. And then a strong will is necessary. Without interest, we are likely to give up when we are boring with something. Without a strong will , we are likely to give up when we meet some difficulties. Straight path in life can not be flat , smooth sailing all the way may be accompanied by rough and rugged , wind and rain , without a strong will , we will lose forward momentum and confidence .

     I want to enter a domestic airline company after graduation, because I want to use my English and Japanese and I want to attain diverse experiences going abroad. Thus I want to contribute to the service area  related with English, so I found the perfect job for me.

     When I was young, I got a chance to go abroad, so I got on a plane for the first time in my life. The flight took very long time and I became tired and tired. At that time, a flight attendant came to me and asked “how about drawing a picture by crayon?” providing a sketchbook and crayons with very pretty smile. She seemed to be warm-hearted and thoughtful. As I felt to be treated warmly by her small kindness and pretty smile, I also want to serve the best service for customers.

     I think flight attendants are the faces of the airline company, because flight attendants are connected with worthy customers directly than anybody else. So I will do my best to serve for customers’ satisfaction and safety.

     I have experiences of diverse part time jobs. Through those experiences, I could learn how to deal with customers and how to serve for them. If there is anything I can do to make customers’ flight more comfortable, I will assist them with smile, always. It is because I don’t want to make them disappointed by bad service. I will make effort for improvement of image of this airline by making passengers happy.

     Also, I put customers’ safety on the most important value. I can react quickly to rapidly changing situations. So, in an emergency, I can treat some crisis calmly and relieve anxiety of passengers.

     If I am hired to a domestic airline company, I will work hard and make passengers enjoy the flight by my smile and good manner for serving.

We meet new people every day in our lives. However, it’s true that as individualism is overflowing and the number of crimes are increasing, people always try to be cautious. On that account, it is important whether to be more open or cautious when we meet new people. I believe that we should be more open to new relationships because humans are social creatures, others will also open themselves to us, and when we be too cautious we judge others before we get to know them.

           First of all, humans can not live alone. They have relationships with other people and form social communities. This means they are social creatures. For this reason, one should always make an effort to be open to other people. This attitude can be one of the foundations of building and maintaining a good relationship.

           Also, if we open ourselves to other people, they will open themselves to us. Humans have a psychology of reciprocation. This rule can be applied to the relationships between human. Therefore if we nicely show our free-hearted mind and honesty, others will react and naturally open themselves to us. The more open we are, the closer we have relationships with others.

           Some might say that we should be more careful with others because they think we can be deceived or harmed. I do not agree with this. If we always have a sense of alarm against other people, we would lose faith with them without any reason and shutdown ourselves. This makes us judge other people before we get to know them. It can also lead us to suspecting innocent people because of our bias. This is more dangerous.

           I think being careful and having a sense of alarm has different meanings. It is good to be careful by trying to care for others, paying attention to them. However having a sense of alarm makes us look too stubborn. If we are too cautious we can not only trust others but other people will not trust us either in return. I think we need to be more open when we meet new people because this attitude supports our relationships.
