Nowadays I often read a news about how difficult universty graduates get a job.Have you ever heard ‘ lee tae back ’? I’m sure that most of students my age know that word. It’s a newly coined word that means people in twenties who have no job. We call those kinds of people ‘ lee tae back’. Unemployment among university graduate students is so serious to produce the coined word. According to a statistic, Korea has the highest unemployment rate among young people now. Even though the number of university graduate is increasing each year thanks to universities that are mushroomed, still so m any of them have difficulty finding a job because there are not many jobs available for all of them after reconstruction and companies prefer experienced people to a graduated student without real life experience. What ’s more most students avoid getting a job in 3D area. (3D : dirty, difficult, dangerous) So I am worried about getting a job as a senior

Wild geese fathers and Goose mom
Today I saw news about wild geese fathers. Do you know what that means? We refer men who meet their children only once a year because their children are sent abroad to learn English as wild geese fathers. I don’t think for English, saying goodbye to Dad and live far from Dad for many years is good.
Even though English is one of factor that pull down competitiveness Korea has, children need love of parents than learning English. Wild geese fathers may feel lonely too much while living alone. I want to mention about Goose mom too. It means moms who go abroad with their children so they can learn English leaving their husbands behind in Korea. They also feel lonely. According to a martial I found, they are frustrated that they cannot function sufficiently as mothers because of the language problem. So they cannot communicate with their children well. Nowadays the number of children who go abroad is increasing. But I wonder how many children of them adjust new environment well, and get successful result.
Parodies
Nowadays As a distrust of government continues to get stronger, the number of parody to satirize the president, lee mung bak and about a matter of cow diseases is increasing. Today I saw one of the parodies. It is made with a movie ‘The Bourne identity. I think it is edited very well. It shows matter of cow diseases including the candlelight against importing caw from America for 9 mins. So the clip get popularity in sort time.
marihuana issue.
Today I saw news about arresting two men for smoking marihuana.
And It reminds me kim bu son who is an erotic movies actress. Actually she gets more more popularity for smoking marihuana not for her movies. Even though she was arrested and sentenced to a suspended jail for it many times, she still cries out for legalization of marijuana rather than be remorseful. I think smoking marihuana is matter of personal choice. And I heard from my Canadian friend who often smoke it that marihuana is not addictive as much as cigarettes. And do not harm to others compare to alcohol and cigarettes. If it is really true, I don’t see any reason for banning smoking marihuana. Some might say it is a gateway drug. But think about some European countries, which make smoking marijuana decriminalize. They has lower drug problem compare to America. America which has strong regulation against marijuana, has the biggest drug problem. what do you think about that?
An article review
Today I read an article that introduces a 12 years old boy who is a physically handicapped person. He has many talents. He can play a piano and skateboard as well as swim. Last April, he got a prize in the drawing contest. But surprising thing is that he has only one arm and one finger. People are surprised again with the fact that he has cheerful mind and a strong will even though he is the disabled. And he has made an effort to adjust environment without any frustration. I think he is a great guy but his family is also respectable. If they didn’t give enough love to their son, he would have difficult adjusting everything around him. Two weeks ago I went to camp with mentally retarded children and their parents. I could see that how many parents are dedicated for their children. So I was very impressed on that.
miss mom
Do you know Ho Soo-Kyung who is radio presenter. She is called miss mom that means woman who choose to have babies through artificial insemination without being married and sexual intercourses. Last year, she announced that she is expecting a baby. But she didn’t identify the baby’s father. She just said, she had undergone artificial insemination. And then she gave a birth successfully. Actually I didn’t know anything about that at that time. I just know what’s going on to her by seeing a documiniserises ‘human theater’ recently. After her announcement through media, matter of miss mom becomes hot issue. So people begin to talk about whether miss mom should be accepted as a new type of a family or not. I don’t think miss mom is wrong. But I worry about that miss moms’ children may suffer from social prejudice.
‘We’re Married.’
Have you seen “We’re Married”?
It is the popular segment on MBC’s Sunday Sunday Night.Seo In-yung & Crown J, Alex&Shin –ae, Solbi&Andy, Jeong Hyung-don&Saori has been appearing and acting as newly couple on the show. Each couple has a different character.Seo In-yung & Crown J are cool, Solbi&Andy are cute, and , Jeong Hyung-don&Saori are realistic And Alex&Shin–ae are Romantic. Some people say ‘We’re Married’ is a kind of reality show but other think it’ a program which just give viewers fantasy for newlywed life rather than reality show. Especially The scenes in which Alex & shin-ae are leading a very happy married life in a big charmingly decorated house look like drama. I think It’s mixed with imagination and reality. because the stars act in a particular situation they are given without any scripts, which make me attracted to the show.
film review ((Mr. Holland’s Opus)
Today I watched a movie ‘Mr. Holland’s Opus’ which is recommended by one of my professors.
It’s a story about teaching career of Mr Holland who is a musician and composer. Actually he decided to have teaching job just because of paying the rent, not because that he really want to love teaching and students. But As time goes by, his attitude toward student have changed. He really have became enjoying his job. So he does his best to not only teach music but also understand what student want to do.
After watching this movie, a question came to my mind. What make good teacher?
The answer was given in this movie. Teacher is not a person who deliver knowledge but a person who can be compass to student.
If you want to be a teacher, I strongly recommend this movie to you.
online shopping
I didn’t use on-line shopping mall to buy clothes before because I thought that photos make clothes look better than it is and I couldn’t be sure if it fits me well without trying it.
But even though there are these weak points of online shop, the number of people who run online shopping mall has increased as well as the number of customers who use it because the price of products on an onlineshop is lower than off-line shop and it’s more convenient to shop online.
In media class we talked about stage of internet as well as phone technology
I think Internet is still in ‘cash cow’ stage
We can do many things that make our life more convenient through Internet from shopping to getting useful information.
and sill lots of people make profit using Internet.
What makes me sick!
Since a day I have really got stressed because of junk e-mails sent to my mobile phone.
I get two junk masseges a day on the average. All most of the masseges are pornographic messages. It very refulses me. And I wonder how people who send it to me know my phone number. I’ve never joined Kinds of obscene sites. My personal information must be leaked I think. Actually my phone has a function to stop spams. so I saved 10 different callers numbers to send spam mails (there are only rooms for ten phone numbers in my phone) . but still I get junk masseges…
Is there any way to stop it completely?
