I just wrote about rights and duties
 Most people think individualism is important part of life in the present generation.We need balance of freedom and equality. But we must not do harm to other people.As mentioned above, that is ideal indivisualism. We can say freely our opinion,claim and idea. It is helpful that people get personal advantage and benifit. I would like to say a latest social issue about freedom of religion.
 In 2004, Ui-seok, Gang demonstrated against taking religious lessons himself in Dae Gwang highschool. And then he was expelled from the school. After this, he brought in lawsuit against the highschool and superintendent of education. He insisted freedom of religion. And then 3years later, he won a lawsuit. Judge said “The Dae Gwang high school should give payment 1500 dollars to plaintiff. And students have right of freedom of religion. Therefore, school must not force students to take religious lessons.” This case teach and help us our social problem.
In Korean society, many people misunderstand individualism as selfishness. I have experienced many cases that I thought that was my private life but people thought, precisely they felt, that I am selfish.
Sometimes, it’s really hard to keep my private life or thought in Korea.
