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.
