About shut-down policy

The bad news for gamers is coming. Shut-down policy has accepted in our country. According to this policy, teenagers couldn’t play the game from AM 12 to AM 6. It has objects that prevent and reduce the addicted rate. There are very many addicted gamers in Korea. Most of people has addicted by online games such as MMORPG, FPS, Arcade, and so on. Government announced the assign of shut-down for MMORPG part because of its special figure to growth their own character. Many people expect to addicted rate will decrease by this policy.

But there are two limits for their goal. First, it’s easy to avoid the shut-down program. Teenagers could use their parent’s social security number. There is only checking system whether is it right or not between the name and social security number. Couldn’t figure out who is playing with the social security number.

Second, the policy has risen from civic groups and government, not game companies. The companies don’t like this policy for their profit. Without morals, they may don’t care whether teenagers addicted by game or not. Actually NC soft, the biggest online game company in Korea, changed their join policy. They announced to eliminate a type place to social security number, so could log-in without the resident registration number.

Nevertheless, the shut-down program is good choice. Although it couldn’t prevent from the root, I could see many people recognize that addicted computer game is bad. 

working time in Korea

Usually we could hear the article about labor working time in Korea. In last week, we could join the presentation with this subject. By the two beautiful presenters, our country has 1st ranked about labor working time in OCED countries. Although this hard working, we has recorded low efficiency.

If the hard working is not related with efficiency, why don’t they do working smaller? It’s hard for salaryman to go home earlier because of many reasons. Not only couldn’t go home early but a salaryman said the over working is unavoidable in company life.

What is the matter? They have to leave the company because of their boss. Korea is only divided country all over the world and in a truce. Army system has covered all society naturally. In army, as everyone knows, be keep the mind about obedience. 6 decades have passed since the Korean war was ended, the obedience remains in our society. Add on them, we have Confucianism mind: be respect your elder. It has changed little by little not only elder people, but the boss.

The work without passion could not relate in high efficiency. In Italy, they closed the shop near 4 pm. I hope to we faced with the same situation to Italy.

about the Abortion

I'm sorry to the blogger.com didn't work last 3 days.

The rate of abortion has grown up steadily. In last class, we discussed about the abortion. Why it happened, what is pros and cons. We discussed only visible part however. It was harmful to mother’s body or problem with money and time, not about effect to our society or country. So, I hope to think the abortion in this sight.

The abortion is a world-wide problem. Right for little life or right for mother’s life. Each side has reasonable arguments. Of course it’s important that little life and it’s important to mother’s remained life too. May be it is meaninglessness to weighing these factors to what is more important than the other one. Although these side’s maintenances are different, it is not natural event anyway. Abortion is operation by medical technology and as well as killing a little life. So I think prevent is more important that find the solution.

We could see advertisement about contraception although it’s hard to find in our country relatively. It’s very easy way to prevent the abortion and cheap. Overcoming the Confucianism color between men and women, marketing by media is needed. Education the responsibility and ethical mind in society may good way to reduce the abortion. Finally, give punisher heavier than now for sexual criminal to prevent crime.

About restoration project of Four Rivers

Although I had gotten military service in May 2nd so missed last class, I hope to think about this subject: The restoration project of four livers. It’s so sorry for me to have missed this presentation.

Lee Myeong-bak is the president of South Korea since 2008. He was a businessman in construction part. When he was mayor of Seoul, 2 things has changed. First, Cheong-kye stream was restored. To compare with before and after, Cheong-kye stream has cleared obviously. Citizens could receive their new rest place in center of city. Second, the bus system was changed not only Seoul but to the metropolitan areas. Although some people against this project, we could get enhanced transportation. Everyone welcomed to these changes and he could win in presidential election. His concept is “Be economically”.

His government had accepted to doing several processes over the country. One of his processes is the restoration project of four livers. This current event is continuing and arguing. What is the more important thing between to connect logistics way from cities to cities for economy or grow up substantially the education and public welfare?

I hope to see the four livers project in different view. It’s hard to say growing economy is spawn decrease the gap between the rich and the poor. Of course our society is not communist, it is unfair because hard worker couldn’t get their enough wages and enough welfare. It’s not the problem about money. It’s the problem about recognition. As the economy grew, the poor felt an ever greater sense of deprivation. People want to live with happiness and I think it is most important thing for society. If use the astronomical figure to welfare instead of four livers project, I think it will built society’s base more strongly. Hope to accept the noblesse oblige.
