박준덕 201331150 I watched news about Jared Kushner chatted with Russia’s ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak at Trump Tower in December about the backchannel. CNN attacked this scandal with quoting John McCain’s comment. John McCain said “ISIS can do terrible things but it’s the Russians who tried to destroy the fundamental of democracy and that is to change the outcome of an American election. However, Fox News defends Jared Kushner. Fox said “During the meeting, the Russians broached the idea of using a secure line between the Trump administration and Russia, not Kushner. This event is yet scandal. There was meeting at Trump Tower in December. This is the only evidence we can check a fact. CNN and Fox admit the meeting itself. However, we don’t know who had the first idea of secure channel yet because of Kislyak and Kushner only know the real. But, important point is that Trump is getting political attack because of backchannel with Russians not the origin of the idea of the backchannel. I think we might watch reflective of CNN or Fox news in Korea. Because the events can be delivered by not only foreign correspondents but also foreign news broadcasting companies. Link of What I watched http://edition.cnn.com/2017/05/29/politics/john-mccain-jared-kushner-russia-putin-isis/index.html http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/05/30/morning-brief-kushner-didnt-suggest-russian-communications-channel-in-meeting-source-says.html
박준덕 201331150 Here is additional information about this incident. Jared Kushner chatted with Sergey Kislyak at Trup Tower in December about the backchannel between US and Russia. Of course US has backchannel with several countries. However, the problem is Jared Kushner was not the official of US government in December, 2016. He became White House Innovations Director in January 2017. He has no right to have a discussion of setting backchannel.
I don't know which of company (CNN and fox) is right. But It is interesting article because it might represent pollicial tendency of company. So, we should check both of opinions and even refer foreign News company to extend sight of the event. I agree with your opinion that we might watch variously.
전병준201332490 I agree you too, because actually we didn't konw that meeting in detail, even thouhg they tried to someting to be blamed. so we try to reveal truth used by press and public opinion. but i think accept for this comment, you have nothing to argue or think about pros and cons. so you have to take to specific position about this theme. thanks
I watched some news about United airline’s over-booking incident. According to Korean news, they said there was a controversy that American airline, United airline caused a commotion by forcing down passengers in the course of a solution. Netizens were outraged when this fact became known domestically. Some netizens claimed that the men were severely abused by the airport police because they were Asian men. And another news reported analysis about over-booking with a summary of the case for example, probability of not being able to board because of over-booking, airline's incentive negotiations, criteria for Determining boarding fail passenger etc. Generally, the contents of Korean news focused on people’s reactions or a case of domestic airlines rather than circumstances of the case. Likewise Korean news, American news also reported about the circumstances of the case, but it’s more detail than Korean news. In addition, they announced the airline's position by quoting the airline spokesman. It focused more on fact of the incident. I think there is a racial discrimination element in this case. Racism is a way of thinking which justifies unequal suppression of the races. Originally, United airline was infamous for racism and sexism. In this case, they are all Asians except one person which designated as boarding fail passenger. I wonder about reliability of their random method and if he were not Asians, would they(United airline) act like the same thing? That’s why I regard this incident as racism.
[Sources] Korean news 1: http://www.focus.kr/view.php?key=2017041100092109859 Korean news 2: http://www.koreatimes.com/article/1058517 American news: http://www.google.co.kr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwi-t4fvjZzUAhUd8YMKHZKhAYwQFgggMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2017%2F04%2F10%2Ftravel%2Fpassenger-removed-united-flight-trnd%2F&usg=AFQjCNGgMfxHf0vQacAhWsp1aibZw14GpQ
I heared that passenger list who expeled by United airline included asian doctor who might be important at emergency situation and his wife. Even, expeled 4 passengers were composed with 3 asians. (Some article asserted they were all asians.). I think it could be evidence of racism too.
전병준 201332490 I agree your several opinion, but you said, 'United airline was infamous for racism and sexism.' i don't konw how think about that. can you explain or give some example? anyway, i think that's a great point about doubt about the random selection method. The police or something will need to investigate it further.
I agree with your opinion that the US news described more detailed than Korean news. And you and I have the same question about how to select the people who must be out. Even though a lot of american people were in the airplane, 3 out of 4 were asian. Was it REALLY coincidence? I don't understand.
I am also wondering about the random system they had told. Since the rest of people who forcibly dragged out from the plane were all Asians, we could get a question, "Was it really 'random' thing?"
201332245 양귀원(Niese) I remember the case of Abercrombie. In the past, the boss of Abecrombie said that "I don’t want larger people shopping in my store, I only want thin and beautiful people". after that Many people boycotted Abercrombie. I wish all of the discrimination in the world are disappear.
박준덕: I just heard they used computer random system, but many people have a boubt about that.
박동희: Yes, it was a little misinformed.
전병준: There are some incident about their racism. In 2013, they did belittlement costume play about Asiana's accident airline and In 2015, they rejected unopened coke to Muslim by reasons of unopened beverage can become as a weapon. But a white guy sitting next to her could get unopened beer can. These incident instilled the perception that United Airlines is infamous for racism.
김종원: I think so. In addition, I think it was more problematic because of their violent behavior.
구경민: Yes, they said they used computer random system, but we couldn't identify the truth.
양귀원: I remember that incident. As being globalization, all discrimination have to be gone.
There's a incident about their sexism. In this year, two girls were rejected for flight because of the reason that they were wearing leggings. United airline said, they have right to reject passengers with unappropreaite dress.
I think we cannot know if they've really done computer random system, but other immoral case is proving that this airline is doubtable for discrimination.
201332237 신유철(Rudy) I watched the news about the event campaigning against the consumption of dog meat will take place at Seoul Plaza in front of City Hall next month. It also comes at a time when Korea is making efforts to curb the practice ahead of the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, as online petitions have been ongoing globally to boycott the event unless Korea bans the consumption of dog meat.
I think we can allow eating dog meat for several reasons.We consider this matter as aspects of the Cultural relativity, why ancestors had to eat dogs and Nutritional value of dog meat, The origin of eating dog meat is due to the mode of production. In the past Western countries, main mode of production was a ranching so they could easily get meat. But most of the Asia were a farming. Our ancestors raised animals to get labors for farm So, getting meat by raising cows, horses, and pigs were difficult. our ancestors mostly relied on plant proteins like soy, and to supplement proteins they have to eat every animal as far as possible. Dogs are just one of them. Dogs were just live stock to us, therefore eating dog meat is not strange. dog is known as a very nutritious food. dog was considered as an emergency food in the past, people ate dog to survive so it was natural to eat dog. If people eat meat suddenly, that can cause heavy stomachache even it can kill people. Instead of other meats, dog meat is an excellent source of nutrition it has superior protein and it is easily digested. these thinking in the past continue to contemporary. I think this is a matter of personal choice. We can’t blame at them who eat dog meats
I agree with you. It is just difference of culture. Some foriegner are shocked by korean food culture, but it should be respected because national culture is based on geographical property and environment of nation. Some cultural property might be created because of proper reason. So, reckless attack for other culture should be rejected.
전병준 201332490 i agree wuth you someting thatis a matter of personal choice so we can’t blame at them who eat dog meats because for the same reason, we eat other livestock such as beef and pork. this is natural thing for human being. but i disagree your opinion about historical aspects. because in past we lack of food and nutrition, so we must eat everything to edible even dogs and something. but now we have a lots of food and nutrition. so i think your historical opinion is not needed
201332200 김영훈 i agree with you. compared to other animals, People seem to be particularly resentful about eating dogs. But no one can blame other cultures.
I think the reason why the people especially are sensitive about dog meat is because the dog is really cute animal and we can usually see many dog in our daily life. I think these factors make people be reluctant to eat dog meat.
Silence was not to blame the Muslims. It was a SILENCE for VICTIM. The action which they did is inhumane. However, for Muslims, religion is a very absolute factor, so even in the media, it seems that they can't offer a neutral opinion.
201331738 염정민 I think dog is the most familier animal in our life. so some people who regards the dog as companion animal can't understand like this culture. but i also think that we have to understand the cultural difference
201432383 정윤선 I agree with your opinion. Eating dogs can be seen as a long traditional we had. In the days when it was important to eat we would have had to eat dogs. As much as we try to understand other countries, people from other countries need to understand korea as well.
201232087 권영준 Actually, I don't like to eat dogs. But the real problem is method to make meats. In Korea, to make meats butchers beat up dogs. It is too cruel. So I understand eating dogs but we have to change method to make meats.
201331576 최지은 (Ellen) -My comment was disappeared, so I post again- Eating dog meat has been a controversy for a long time. It is unfair to blame by the reason of another way of eating. I think to blame eating not beef, pork, chicken but dog meat is Discrimination against animal species.
이다솔(Marion) 201432206 I'm a dog person and I don't want to advocate people who eat dogs. In my opinion, Eating dog meats is cannot forced to prohibit but the real problem is using abandoned dogs to make dog meats and even kidnapping dogs for it. I saw the news, someone found that metal pins in the dog meat. It means the dog is not raising for meats, he or she was someone's family! This kind of matter is should be banned.
I agree with you. 'Dog meat' is just cultural difference. The point is ①lots of foreign people thinks that Korean eats 'family' dogs and mock about it, ②actually that kind of 'incident' really happens, and ③most of dog slaughter houses are (sadly) inhumane. I think there should be an act that ①telling "Dog meat is cultural difference, and Korean do not eat 'family' dogs.", ②punishing people who illegally killed the dog for meat severely.
I think the real problem of dog eating is not the eating itself. I think the problem is how people kill the animal very politely. I heard that a lot of dogs are killed very crucially. So, I disagree with the killing method, not the eating itself. 201331150 박준덕
Saudi Arabia’s national football team appear to ignore a minute’s silence for victims of the London terror attack before their World Cup qualifier with Australia on Thursday. Before the game in Adelaide the Socceroos team lined up on the centre circle to observe a period of silence but the Saudi Arabia team did not line up opposite.
According to BBC news, Australian players linked arms as a sign of respect before Thursday's World Cup qualifying match at Adelaide Oval. They contrasted Australian with Saudi Arabian. I think BBC news want to emphasis Saudi Arabian behavior. Anc Someone said that silence is not Saudi culture. But BBC news showed the evidence that it is not against Saudi culture. So I think that BBC criticized Saudi Arabian players and Muslim. Because Muslims attacked the U.K and BBC is a british broadcasting station.
According to Arab news, there are diffrence opinions. First, Arab news used 'continued to jog and pass ball' instead of 'ignore a minute’s silence for victims of the London terror attack' And they said that Saudi Arabian agreed to hold the minute’s silence. So they showed that it was not wrong. And Arab news only showed Saudi Arabian Football Federation's apology. They didn't mention about British reaction. I think Arab News don't want to talk about this issue.
I am sure that the news are depend on country or religion. In these days, religion conflicts are increasing. So the news company have no choice but to reflect public opinion. In this reason, they have different opinions on same event.
It's very thoughtful topic. We should consider both Austria and Arab. And because conflict of religion is difficlut issue to handle, we have to access the issue carefully. But, I think that cherish memory ceremony is respected regardless of religion because sacrificed victims should be respected.
전병준 201332490 박동희(jimmy)'s opinion is very good point. n fact, if we want to discuss this topic, I think it would be helpful to know. Because it is hard to know the exact reason why they are silent about England. So I think it is right to study first instead of taking one side's position on a topic that you do not know well.
Silence was not to blame the Muslims. It was a SILENCE for VICTIM. The action which they did is inhumane. However, for Muslims, religion is a very absolute factor, so even in the media, it seems that they can't offer a neutral opinion.
전병준(Jackson)201332490 I watched the news about the United Airlines event. that news reported this as a problem to be blamed. It was reported that the overall case was summarized and reported, and the airline company apologized for the situation that the airline booked early on, but the violent act reported that it was a legitimate procedure. after that, the news reported very badly and critically on report that we apologized again to our passengers at a later date.
In general, Korea 's news focused on the economic impact of the incident, so the title of the headline was' a loss of 300 billion won by the share price of the airline', and in fact it reported just in a two minute. However, abroad news such as bbc and cnn, they reported more than five minutes and focused on analyzing the details of the event rather than the external influences of the event. Even when describing the outline of the incident, it was reported in more detail, and the interview with near passengers was able to hear a detailed explanation of the actual situation. In addition, they reported scenes that talked about ideas for future actions or lessons.
In domestic news, in Korea they mentioned similar case, the teenager in leggings is reported to be rejecting boarding and they mentioned the racial controversy that happened because the victim of the case was Asian, well I think it is kind of racial discrimination , because abroad news was no specific mention! I think racial discrimination is not thinking about person earnestly. even though in situation was not discriminate him, but after this event, they didn't opologize! it is very rude to passenger. at least if victim is white people, they didn't do that.

I agree with you that abroad news mentioned nothing about the racial discrimination. They reported the news more focusing on the detail outline of the incident. (구경민 201331971)
201232087 권영준 I understand what you said. I think Korean news only focus on racial discrimination. In the past, I know that there were lots of racial discrimination in the world.But now I think getting better. So we need to focus on facts. And then we think about racial discrimination
201233561 하늘 I agree with your opinion. In almost Korean NEWS, they mention about racism. But, In American NEWS, they do not mention about racism and they just focus on that situation and they say it was just procedure problem.
About two month ago, price of egg soared shaply because of the spread of avian influenza. Also, recently, outbreaking of foot-and-mouth disease, which infect marmmal that has cloven-hoof such as cattle, pigs, deer, and goats, make price of food higher.
According to News of Korean Herald, South Korea ranfked fifth among the 35 OECD counturies in the growth of fodd price in the first quater. (From jenuary to March period)
Comparing price of egg at now with price of egg at one year before, egg price has increased about 62%. Also livestock and fishery price have rised 8.5% too.
In second quarter, food price may be stablized because of success of goverment's quarantine policy. But the bird influenza began to spread again on June 2. So food price isn't expected to be stabilized. Eventhough, It will rise further.
I think goverment have to prepare influenza to end increasing of food price with actual effective policy such as dense prevention of influenza and quarantine system or importing food from foreign country. Because food price is connected to liveihood of citizen, it must be solved as quick as the goverment can.
201331738 염정민 I heard the Ministry of Strategy and Finance's analysis that the food price increase will fall down because of calming avian influenza but there's possibility to high by recovering the production that is damaged from AI
201432383 정윤선 I think the government should provide us a clear solution. because these problems give us an economic blwo, it also gives us a distrust of the government.
201331576 최지은 (Ellen) I watched the new related to your topic. In that news, they said the government's intervention in the market for stabilizing domestic egg prices brought rather confusion in the market order. As a sensitive issue, I think government action should be more prudent focusing on precautionary dimension as you said.
201232087 권영준 I think bird influenza is not reason to increase the egg price. In other words, there are another reason to increase the food price. I think distribution dealer is real reason for increasing price.
이다솔(Marion) 201432206 There was Infectious disease especially AI almost every year, not only for this year. So it means government didn't solve the fundamental matter of AI, it focuses on only cover up the situation.
201233589 김주현 I think influenza is not a major problem of the increase of egg price. It is dealers who fix the price of the egg and take a lot of profit from them. After the government imported eggs from America, dealers provide frozen eggs which they stored for a long time. I think government should punish who fix the price of daily necessities and make a law to prevent this situation.
I agree. Government should do something. Common public (like us) cannot do anything about sudden increase of food price. Also the problem of AI egg sharp price rise was that small businesses that use eggs (such as bakery) couldn't purchase eggs. Some small bakery actually closed their business because they cannot make bread.
Korean news and American news generally provided similar information. It provided information about what the beginning of the incident was, how it was developed
, and what the outcome was. Although the details of the Korean news and American news were different, I think they have reported the same news in the big frame. This is because I felt little difference in the way I deal with news. Because I didn’t feel something difference in the way that they deal with news. The US News described the facts a little more detailed than the Korean News. The US News described the actions of the security personnel and the interviews of the spokesmen in more detail than the Korean News. I chose two Korean news and two US news, one of them mentioned racism. So I think Korea and the US have an similar view of racism in the media, although it may be different in real life. I think the racism is that giving a disadvantage because of just the difference of race. The reason why I think this case is racial problem is because it was a flying in the United States, but three out of four randomly selected people were Asian. It is so weird.

구경민(Jia) 201331971 Do you really think Korea and US have a similar view of racism in the media? I rarely found US news that had mentioned "racial discrimination" of this incident.
Actually, when the first this problem was caused, US news and Korean news described only the fact of overbooking. After the fact was checked, both of the news dealt with racism. At least as I read. So I think the both media have similar view about racism.
201331576 최지은 (Ellen) You dealt with the same topic with me. I agree that at first time, Korean news and American news reported the fact of incident similarly. But after that, they focused on different details. As a result, United airline was blamed all over the world due to that incident.
이다솔(Marion) 201432206 When the accident was happened, Asians included Koreans are angry because the victim was Asian. Actually, the real problem is the "situation" but Asian focused more on a race of the victim. So I think Korean journalists wrote the news focusing on rasism for hits.
201233589 김주현 I agree that both news generally provided silimar information. Both news reported the fact about the incident at first, then they deal with racism or overbooking issues. But I hardly found news about racism in American news while Korean news covered much about racism. I think that's because Asians concerning about racism while Americans did not.
201332200 김영훈 I watched the news about the Tehran terror. iran arrested 8 suspects who supproting the islamic state-calimed attacks on oran's parliament chief justice of Alborz as saying These agents who were supporters of the two terrorist groups, and had full coordination with them, were arrested and they were delivered to Tehran's judicial and security authorities." 10 government staffers and five civilians were killed in the attacks that simultaneously targeted the country's parliament and the shrine of the late founder of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini
korea's news reports additional information like follow-up action, how to works intelligence activities. U.S. news focused on crime, and what they have committed. but both news are simillar. In this case, they deal only with facts, not opinions
these news influences crime suppression. so, reports about the criminal's arrest issue is desirable direction. Since the terrorist attacks, the Iranian intelligence, Iran’s National Guard Corps and police have launched joint operations across the country to combat domestic Sunni underground armed organizations. we need to help them. i think the world should cooperate in catching terrorists to prevent other terrorist attacks.

201332245 양귀원(Niese) I think Terrorism is very political behavior. Islamic extremists are try to make Islamic Theocracy. Their attacks will continue and We must prepare for it.
201432383 정윤선 Terror is not just a matter of the country,it is an act the damage the whole world. so i think we have to creat and maintain a system the can heip each other.
201233589 김주현 Terrorism cannot be justified in any kind of reason. If we let them kill people, they will threaten all over the world, making everyone fear of terror. We should stop terrorism.
I watched both Korean news and American news about the United Air incident. They both reported the facts about the bleeding man who was the one that had been kicked out from the flight. Now, here was the difference between Korean news and American news. Korean news treated this incident as the racism problem. But American news didn't mention any thing about the racism. American news, of course told the fact of the man "forcibly" being dragged out of the plane, focusing on just the fact. In contrast, Korean news reported the man "unfairly" being dragged out, focusing more on the racial discrimination. Another difference I found was that I could read more detail information of the incident in American news than Korean news. They explained the contents of some videos in detail so we could know all the situation at that time in the fight.
Racism is a racial prejudice or discrimination. I think this United Air incident was a act of racism. Because the other 3 people of 4 they tried to kick out of the flight seat were also all the asians. In addition, the United Air is already known for their segregative acts. They have been repeated the racial and sexual discrimination a few times. In terms of ethics, the company deserves to be criticized.

201331576 최지은 (Ellen) You are good at pointing the difference between Korean news and American news. I agree that Asia country news mentioned the word 'racism', but American news rarely mentioned that problem in itself.
I agree with your opinion. Because the people who they tried to kick out of the flight seat were all the Asians. And United Air already made issuees to discriminate against racism few times. So United Air has to apology about that.
201232087 권영준 I agree with your opinion. Because the people who they tried to kick out of the flight seat were all the Asians. And United Air already made issuees to discriminate against racism few times. So United Air has to apology about that.
201233589 김주현 I agree that United Air incident is an act of racism. United Air has many incidents related to sexism and racism. It's not coincidence that this could be happen in United Air. I think they should change how they think about Asians and promise not to reoccur this kind of accident again.
양귀원(Niese) 201332245 I watched a news about a new government policy that the military service period will be shortened. According to the government, this change is necessary because they're aiming to foster crack and high-tech troops, instead of reducing the military service.
I think this policy is not so good. North Korea's Kim Jung-Eun is strengthening his army. He has improved conventional weapons such as tanks, submarines, and so on. At the same time, He's trying to strengthen asymmetric forces such as nuclear, missile, acoustic warfare, long range artillery, and cyber armies. Currently, there are 625,000 soldiers in Korea. North Korea, however, has 1.28 million. If the number of reservists is added, South Korea has 3.1 million, when North Korea has 7.62 million. If we reduce the length of military service, our soldiers will be reduced to 510,000, and this consequence will further exacerbate the imbalance of military strength between South and North Korea. There are also economic problems. To win North Korea with a small number of soldiers, at least, we must reach the US or Israel military level. Israel is investing in defense, spending as much as its five neighbors, and the US defense budget of this year is $ 534 billion which is higher than any other country in the world. If we fail to make that much investment, we'll face a big threat to our national security.
Shin yuchul(Rudy)20133223 I also wathched that news. If government reduce the length of military service, this will exacerbate the imbalance of military strength between South and North Korea.
신유철(Rudy)201332237 I also wathched that news. If government reduce the length of military service, this will exacerbate the imbalance of military strength between South and North Korea.
201432383 정윤선 Since the nation is suffering from declining population the promises to be impossible. i think what we need is not a a military number but a military level. we seem to need a time to understand each other's position.
201332200 김영훈 it's a very difficult problem. if they want to reduce their military service period, they must have high-teck weapon before reducing their military service period. that balance is very important.
201434009 나인원 (Zoe) I think the problem doesn't depent on the period of military service. I think the quality of military service curriculum is more important.
20131738 염정민 (Olly) I watched the news about the shutdown of coal-fire plants. From June 1st 8 coal-fire plants being shutdowning. The shutdown was a follow-up of President Moon Jae-in's order to stop operations of coal-fired plants aged 30 years or older for the whole month of June to help bring down fine dust levels. Despite the shutdown, the country's electricity supply remained higher than its consumption for the seven-day period, according to the data from the Korea Power Exchange. and If 8 older fire-plants shutdown, it will expect 1-2% reduced of fine dust.
I think that theses days people are sensitive to fine dust. although president Moon's operation only reduce 1-2% of fine dust, it is symbolitically important. it can symbolize that Moon is concerning about fine dust and making solutions and acting it. I'm expecting more about Moon's government operations
201532302 송단비 Before the election, many candidate made a promise to reduce fine dust because, as you said, people are sensitive to fine dust. I didn't konw about the shutdown of coal-fire plants. I wonder do these plants belong to only goverment? Can you explain more about this?
This news is a recent occurrence in our country. As the man who raised the puppy, this incident was very shocking to me. Nowadays many people living with the conpanion animals. . This case is happend at the samdeon dong , seoul. The woman left her companion dog, Star, to the vet hospital to travel to Jeju Island Three days later, when she went looking for her puppy, she was not her puppy. Her puppy was a woman, but the puppy she gave at the vet was a male Initially, the hospital insisted that the puppy seemed to be missing, but when she, the owner, demanded a video of the CCTV, Then the hospital said she was put to sleep. How can this situation is happened? To her, a dog is a child raised like her own daughter. When she learns that she has lost her puppy, she gets a big wound that can not be repaid with money. It would have fallen into an inrecoverable sadness. She is preparing a lawsuit against the vet, but the results have not been revealed yet. I feel that I need to clarify this case accurately, and I think that a director who does this irresponsible act requires strong punishment our country has laws related to animals but the power of the government is too weak. In our country, a companion is called a human being. We have to recognize that a companion is a living creature rather than a possession.
이다솔(Marion) 201432206 I don't want to admit it, person can make a mistake. But doctor is directly connected with someone's life, so it is not allowed. More serious problem is that he is trying to conceal the truth after the accident is happened. The law on animal welfare in Korea is insufficient, so it cannot really protect them. Moon pledged to amend the law on animal before the election. I wish he surely keeps his election pledges.
I'm very sad to hear this news. I wish the doctor receives punishment. I can't believe that the doctor gave other dog and lied to the puppy's owner, "This is your dog." Now days, number of people who have pets is 10 million. Government must enforce a law about pets.
201532302 송단비 I read this news too and I am very sad and upset until now. I totally agree with 다솔. It was crazy for a vet to administer euthanasia a wrong animal but it is worst to conceal the truth. It's ridiculous. I really want to a vet recieve a punishment. As a social-welfare major student and a person with two dogs, a law about animal welfare must be inforced.
Until now, Thaad(Terminal High Altitude Air Defense system) is controversial issue in South Korea. Due to the influence of Thaad, the number of Chinese tourists who visit South Korea fell dramatically and it hurts Korea's tourism industry. I study tourism in university so I have interest in Thaad from this point of view. Therefore, I wondered what the search engines show as a result of the keyword 'South Korea, Thaad'. I selected three search engines, Google, Yahoo and Naver.
(This is the result searched by the keyword 'South Korea, Thaad'. I choose news that the search engine put up first.) First, Google Google shows news from Reuters, . The main contents of the news is South Korea does not aim to change its agreement on the deployment of a U.S. anti-missile system to protect against North Korea, in spite of a decision to delay its full installation. Then, it shows thoughts of the US and Trump in Thaad. The US believes considering the threat from North Korea, a full THAAD battery is the best addition to the defense of South Korea. And Trump would either renegotiate or terminate a "horrible" free trade deal with South Korea and said Seoul should pay for THAAD, which he priced at $1 billion. Google shows the result that include Trump’s view of Thaad. Google is worldwide search engine and the biggest one in the world, so it has power to control the public. But Google is operated by private owner, so it contains owner’s view. Also most information is written by the US political position. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-southkorea-usa-thaad-idUSKBN1900RQ
Second, Yahoo Yahoo shows news from The Washington Post, . The article focuses on the respons in South Korea and also shows respons in China, and gives a detailed account of Thaad. So I think it is appropriate to the person who wants to get a ‘informaton’ of Thaad. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/south-korea-suspends-deployment-of-american-missile-defense-system/2017/06/07/6215f314-4b60-11e7-b69d-c158df3149e9_story.html?utm_term=.d8ff9061914f
Last, Naver Naver, South Korean seach engine, shows news from TVChosun, China said, “if South Korea didn’t withdraw Thaad, every damage will go to Korea.” Korea thinks that deferring Thaad could calm down China but it isn’t. China asserts fundamental Thaad withdrawal even more. It shows us China’s view of Thaad. I can notice that people of Korea have there eyes on China than the US in matter of Thaad. Then, the biggest search engine in Korea, Naver gives many information about China. http://news.tvchosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2017/06/10/2017061090099.html
Through the contents I think every broadcast, newspaper and even the search engines gave us selective information. Therefore, we should check several search engines and try to have objective eyes for getting the correct information.
I read the Korean and American news about United Air incident that an Asian man forcibly dragged off the aircraft. Both news focused on the fact right after they have been reported the incident. American news described what was happened in the incident in detail. It also posted the comment what people said, including the passengers, twitter users, the CEO of United Air, and the Chicago Department of Aviation.
In Korean news, however, focused on external factors such as stock decreases or how Korean airline react to overbooking. Also they covered racial discrimination in depth while American news just reported reactions in China. I found the news that covers about racial discrimination in CNN, but it was written by Asian columnist, known as Jeff Yang.
Racism is discrimination or prejudice people who has different race. I think this is an act of racism by United Air. If the passenger was a white person, would security officer did the same thing to him? Actually, United Air was in controversy about sexism and racism in the past. White people don’t tell they do racial discrimination, but they do it implicitly to Asians so they feel they’ve been subject to discrimination.
I also agree that United Air incident is sort of racism because racism incidents continually happened in United Air in the past.
- 2013, United Air mocked the Asiana Air fall incident (http://moneys.mt.co.kr/news/mwView.php?type=1&no=2017041110008013675&outlink=1)
- 2015, United Air stewardess refused to give a coke can to Muslim, telling "Even a coke can can be a weapon to Muslim." (http://biz.heraldcorp.com/view.php?ud=20150601000017)
I think only thing we can do about this incident is boycott. Company exists for benefit(money). If we boycott United Air, at least other Airline would be careful about racism. We should talk about United Air racism incident, and fight for discrimination.
Public Broadcast (KBS, MBC, SBS…) is not supposed to program commercial break –an advertisement between one program-. However, Public Broadcasts (KBS2, MBC, SBS) split one program to two, and *actually* programmed commercial break between two (which was *actually* one program). Public Broadcasts are claiming that “It’s not commercial break, it’s PCM (Premium CM)”.
The difference between commercial break and PCM is, commercial break is a commercial between *one* program, and PCM is a commercial between *two* programs. Because Public Broadcasts split one program to two, PCM is *legally* fine. (Even though every watcher knows that there is no actual difference between commercial break and PCM.)
Public Broadcast must be for public(citizen); it’s because Public Broadcast is using ‘sky radio wave’. Did you know that public owns the sky radio wave? Because Public Broadcast is using *our* sky radio wave, Public Broadcast *must* be for citizen. The fact that Public Broadcasts (KBS2, MBC, SBS) programmed PCM is showing they are NOT performing their duty. Driven by avarice, they ruthlessly infringed on public’s sovereignty. Public Broadcasts must stop what they’re doing. Government should establish the law about PCM. Public –which means ‘WE’- must fight for PCM.
I've never heard of these things. Do you know a tv show "super star K"? The MC of this show was famous for "let's see a commercial." or "We will meet again in a minute after commercial." during the show. I understand this commercial break can make a much money for show, however, this is very irritating for viewer. So as you said, I want for government to establish the law about this. p.s. Because you highlight some word, I can easily read and understand your post. Thanks.
201434009 나인원(Zoe) I didn't know about that. Actually, I'm not so uncomfortable, but if Public broadcast is the property of people, then the government should establish the law about PCM.
>to 송단비: Actually, Super Stat K is from tvN (which is not Public Broadcast), so Super Star K's commercial break is legal. However it is true that commercial break is really annoying. Have you saw '최고의 한방(Program name)'? It is from KBS2, and KBS2 programmed PCM between '최고의 한방', and as I told you, PCM is REALLY annoying. (+ thank you for your comment!)
>to 나인원: Wow! I am surprised that you are not uncomfortable with PCM! (But that can happen.) But yes. As I wrote, Public Broadcast has duty to take care of public. Government should do something!
201532302 송단비 I choose a news about United airline incident. April 9, one passenger of United Air Lines, was captured and forcibly carried off by the police because of Airline's booking over top. The airline, which had to secure a seat for the late arrival of the flight attendants, received a volunteer from another passenger boarding pass and hotel accommodations, but none of the passengers volunteered. After all, the airline picked up four passengers at random. Three acceded to demands but did not meet one. The airline asked police to airport to bring to force him.
I wanted to compare various news including Korean news and American news. There is a content about other passenger's reaction in a CNN news which korean news didn't have and, of course, a difference of focus (more of legal contents or economic influences) but I think there is a little difference of contents.
I think this is a racism because United Airline is notorious of racism of Asian for a long time. Let me give you one example, April 11, one korean man was waiting flights due to bad wether. That day late afternoon the plane resumed its service, but he couldn't receive any information. He complained “also allocated a seat for people who came later than me.” high. He claimed that who the first people were white, all remaining in the Middle East or Asian. How the airlines behavior could change what if the passengers are white?
Racism means prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. President Donald Trump restricted Syrian refugees and travel by immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries. In addition, there is a advertisement of washing machine of Qiaobi. First scene of commercial, a black man and a chinese woman stand together watching each other. Suddenly she pushes him into a washing machine. Few minutes later, a handsome chinese man comes out. The man, wearing a clean white shirt, winks a t the camera and golds up a detergent capsule.
I watched news about United airline incident. This incident was occured because of United Airline's over-booking. We know this situation is associated with asian racism. We know like this because we saw new from 'Korean NEWS'. In Korean NEWS, every news mentioned about asian racism problem. But, In American NEWS, they didn't mention about any racism problem. And just mention about procedure problem. They just focus on the man 'forcibly' being dragged out of the plan and in there the man was hurt. United airline incident is same situation, but we can see large difference between Korean NEWS and American NEWS.
I think United Airline's over-booking incident was not jush procedure problem but obvious racism problem. Because the man is asian, the sheriff treak him rudely and the man was hurt. But in American NEWS, there is no mention about racism. American NEWS also have to admit and mention about racism and they have to broadcast correctly.
Korean NEWS : http://news.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2017/04/11/2017041100791.html American NEWS : https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2017/04/11/united-ceo-employees-followed-procedures-flier-belligerent/100317166/
I read some news about the last London terror attack.
This terror is occurred 3rd June, in the eastern of London. About 10:00 pm, suddenly a white van is appeared at the London bridge. The van rushed to people. After that, the three men got out of the van and started an indiscriminate attack on the people. Also, they ran into some restaurant, and started stabbing people. Police arrived eight minutes after the incident and suppressed the terrorists. There are a lot of casualties, 7 deaths, about 50 injuries.
I saw that news on BBC, Fox news and Huffpost of Korea. BBC and Fox news are focused on the contents of the case, so they report a lot of firsthand statements and the scene of the incident. However, the Korean news is focused on the government's position after the incident. they report not only the scene of the incident, but also what the prime minister says. British prime minister, Theresa May, says that they will take decisive action quickly and swiftly. Also she says "Although there has been noticeable progress in recent years, frankly speaking, tolerance toward extremism has gone too far in England."
I think the abroad news is focused on the fact, but Korean news includes a few political elements. I don't know much about the politics, but I think the news including political elements can incite people because the news are often exposed to people. And about the incident, I really mourn over and I think the British government has to make a strong policy against terrorism.
I think in this case, the British Prime Minister's statement is important too. Because The statement of Prime Minister shows the direction of government policy. So, I think showing up the statement of Prime Minister is very important to predict the next government activity. 201331150 박준덕
I have been searching for some news regarding with the issue of Harambe the Gorilla which people debated whether he should had been tranquilized or slain. The two articles which I used to compare to see the difference in describing the incident are from CNN and BBC. They both described it in an objective manner. However, they explain it with different perspective. The article from BBC simply describes what happened at the zoo only with the excuses the director of the zoo says as if they want to convince people, who are angry with the act of the zoo, that there were no other alternative and thus what the zoo did was right thing to do to ensure the safety of the child who fell into the enclosure. On the other hand, the article from CNN further explains the incident not only with the excuses from the director of the zoo but other details as well, for instance, previous cases like this one. In 1986, a 5-year-old boy tumbled into the gorilla enclosure. He was lying on the ground bleeding from his and unconscious. A male gorilla named Jambo approached him as if to check on him but when the boy started to cry, Jambo was seemingly surprised and moved to a different location. Then, a zookeeper quickly moved in to save the boy. A decade later, a 3-year-old boy fell into the gorilla enclosure in Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. This time, a female gorilla named Binti Jua picked up the unconcious boy, guarded him from other gorillas and took him right to a door so that a zookeeper could take him to a safe place. Although it is understandable that it was emergency and thus there were not much time to make the decision, I personally think that it was not necessary to slain Harambe the Gorilla as he did not do anything harmful to the kid rather he dragged him from the water and took him to a different location where it seems safer.

ReplyDeleteI watched news about Jared Kushner chatted with Russia’s ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak at Trump Tower in December about the backchannel. CNN attacked this scandal with quoting John McCain’s comment. John McCain said “ISIS can do terrible things but it’s the Russians who tried to destroy the fundamental of democracy and that is to change the outcome of an American election. However, Fox News defends Jared Kushner. Fox said “During the meeting, the Russians broached the idea of using a secure line between the Trump administration and Russia, not Kushner. This event is yet scandal. There was meeting at Trump Tower in December. This is the only evidence we can check a fact. CNN and Fox admit the meeting itself. However, we don’t know who had the first idea of secure channel yet because of Kislyak and Kushner only know the real. But, important point is that Trump is getting political attack because of backchannel with Russians not the origin of the idea of the backchannel.
I think we might watch reflective of CNN or Fox news in Korea. Because the events can be delivered by not only foreign correspondents but also foreign news broadcasting companies.

DeleteHere is additional information about this incident. Jared Kushner chatted with Sergey Kislyak at Trup Tower in December about the backchannel between US and Russia. Of course US has backchannel with several countries. However, the problem is Jared Kushner was not the official of US government in December, 2016. He became White House Innovations Director in January 2017. He has no right to have a discussion of setting backchannel.

ReplyDeleteI watched some news about United airline’s over-booking incident. According to Korean news, they said there was a controversy that American airline, United airline caused a commotion by forcing down passengers in the course of a solution. Netizens were outraged when this fact became known domestically. Some netizens claimed that the men were severely abused by the airport police because they were Asian men. And another news reported analysis about over-booking with a summary of the case for example, probability of not being able to board because of over-booking, airline's incentive negotiations, criteria for Determining boarding fail passenger etc. Generally, the contents of Korean news focused on people’s reactions or a case of domestic airlines rather than circumstances of the case.
Likewise Korean news, American news also reported about the circumstances of the case, but it’s more detail than Korean news. In addition, they announced the airline's position by quoting the airline spokesman. It focused more on fact of the incident.
I think there is a racial discrimination element in this case. Racism is a way of thinking which justifies unequal suppression of the races. Originally, United airline was infamous for racism and sexism. In this case, they are all Asians except one person which designated as boarding fail passenger. I wonder about reliability of their random method and if he were not Asians, would they(United airline) act like the same thing? That’s why I regard this incident as racism.

DeleteI agree your several opinion, but you said, 'United airline was infamous for racism and sexism.' i don't konw how think about that. can you explain or give some example? anyway, i think that's a great point about doubt about the random selection method.
The police or something will need to investigate it further.
201331485 김종원(Jason)
DeleteI agree with your opinion that the US news described more detailed than Korean news. And you and I have the same question about how to select the people who must be out. Even though a lot of american people were in the airplane, 3 out of 4 were asian. Was it REALLY coincidence? I don't understand.

Delete박준덕: I just heard they used computer random system, but many people have a boubt about that.
박동희: Yes, it was a little misinformed.
전병준: There are some incident about their racism. In 2013, they did belittlement costume play about Asiana's accident airline and In 2015, they rejected unopened coke to Muslim by reasons of unopened beverage can become as a weapon. But a white guy sitting next to her could get unopened beer can. These incident instilled the perception that United Airlines is infamous for racism.
김종원: I think so. In addition, I think it was more problematic because of their violent behavior.
구경민: Yes, they said they used computer random system, but we couldn't identify the truth.
양귀원: I remember that incident. As being globalization, all discrimination have to be gone.
There's a incident about their sexism. In this year, two girls were rejected for flight because of the reason that they were wearing leggings. United airline said, they have right to reject passengers with unappropreaite dress.
DeleteI think we cannot know if they've really done computer random system, but other immoral case is proving that this airline is doubtable for discrimination.

ReplyDeleteI watched the news about the event campaigning against the consumption of dog meat will take place at Seoul Plaza in front of City Hall next month. It also comes at a time when Korea is making efforts to curb the practice ahead of the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, as online petitions have been ongoing globally to boycott the event unless Korea bans the consumption of dog meat.
I think we can allow eating dog meat for several reasons.We consider this matter as aspects of the Cultural relativity, why ancestors had to eat dogs and Nutritional value of dog meat, The origin of eating dog meat is due to the mode of production. In the past Western countries, main mode of production was a ranching so they could easily get meat. But most of the Asia were a farming. Our ancestors raised animals to get labors for farm So, getting meat by raising cows, horses, and pigs were difficult. our ancestors mostly relied on plant proteins like soy, and to supplement proteins they have to eat every animal as far as possible. Dogs are just one of them. Dogs were just live stock to us, therefore eating dog meat is not strange. dog is known as a very nutritious food. dog was considered as an emergency food
in the past, people ate dog to survive so it was natural to eat dog. If people eat meat suddenly, that can cause heavy stomachache even it can kill people. Instead of other meats, dog meat is an excellent source of nutrition it has superior protein and it is easily digested. these thinking in the past continue to contemporary. I think this is a matter of personal choice. We can’t blame at them who eat dog meats

201232264 박동희 (Jimmy)
DeleteI agree with you. It is just difference of culture. Some foriegner are shocked by korean food culture, but it should be respected because national culture is based on geographical property and environment of nation. Some cultural property might be created because of proper reason. So, reckless attack for other culture should be rejected.
전병준 201332490
Deletei agree wuth you someting thatis a matter of personal choice so we can’t blame at them who eat dog meats because for the same reason, we eat other livestock such as beef and pork. this is natural thing for human being. but i disagree your opinion about historical aspects. because in past we lack of food and nutrition, so we must eat everything to edible even dogs and something. but now we have a lots of food and nutrition. so i think your historical opinion is not needed
201332200 김영훈
Deletei agree with you. compared to other animals, People seem to be particularly resentful about eating dogs.
But no one can blame other cultures.
201331485 김종원(Jason)
DeleteI think the reason why the people especially are sensitive about dog meat is because the dog is really cute animal and we can usually see many dog in our daily life. I think these factors make people be reluctant to eat dog meat.

Eating dog meat has been a controversy for a long time. It is unfair to blame by the reason of another way of eating. I think to blame eating not beef, pork, chicken but dog meat is Discrimination against animal species.
이다솔(Marion) 201432206
DeleteI'm a dog person and I don't want to advocate people who eat dogs. In my opinion, Eating dog meats is cannot forced to prohibit but the real problem is using abandoned dogs to make dog meats and even kidnapping dogs for it. I saw the news, someone found that metal pins in the dog meat. It means the dog is not raising for meats, he or she was someone's family! This kind of matter is should be banned.
배승현 201432103
DeleteI agree with you. 'Dog meat' is just cultural difference. The point is ①lots of foreign people thinks that Korean eats 'family' dogs and mock about it, ②actually that kind of 'incident' really happens, and ③most of dog slaughter houses are (sadly) inhumane. I think there should be an act that ①telling "Dog meat is cultural difference, and Korean do not eat 'family' dogs.", ②punishing people who illegally killed the dog for meat severely.
Link: http://news1.kr/articles/?3014763
I think the real problem of dog eating is not the eating itself. I think the problem is how people kill the animal very politely. I heard that a lot of dogs are killed very crucially. So, I disagree with the killing method, not the eating itself. 201331150 박준덕

ReplyDeleteSaudi Arabia’s national football team appear to ignore a minute’s silence for victims of the London terror attack before their World Cup qualifier with Australia on Thursday. Before the game in Adelaide the Socceroos team lined up on the centre circle to observe a period of silence but the Saudi Arabia team did not line up opposite.
According to BBC news, Australian players linked arms as a sign of respect before Thursday's World Cup qualifying match at Adelaide Oval. They contrasted Australian with Saudi Arabian. I think BBC news want to emphasis Saudi Arabian behavior. Anc Someone said that silence is not Saudi culture. But BBC news showed the evidence that it is not against Saudi culture. So I think that BBC criticized Saudi Arabian players and Muslim. Because Muslims attacked the U.K and BBC is a british broadcasting station.
According to Arab news, there are diffrence opinions. First, Arab news used 'continued to jog and pass ball' instead of 'ignore a minute’s silence for victims of the London terror attack' And they said that Saudi Arabian agreed to hold the minute’s silence. So they showed that it was not wrong. And Arab news only showed Saudi Arabian Football Federation's apology. They didn't mention about British reaction. I think Arab News don't want to talk about this issue.
I am sure that the news are depend on country or religion. In these days, religion conflicts are increasing. So the news company have no choice but to reflect public opinion. In this reason, they have different opinions on same event.

ReplyDeleteI watched the news about the United Airlines event. that news reported this as a problem to be blamed.
It was reported that the overall case was summarized and reported, and the airline company apologized for the situation that the airline booked early on, but the violent act reported that it was a legitimate procedure. after that, the news reported very badly and critically on report that we apologized again to our passengers at a later date.
In general, Korea 's news focused on the economic impact of the incident, so the title of the headline was' a loss of 300 billion won by the share price of the airline', and in fact it reported just in a two minute.
However, abroad news such as bbc and cnn, they reported more than five minutes and focused on analyzing the details of the event rather than the external influences of the event. Even when describing the outline of the incident, it was reported in more detail, and the interview with near passengers was able to hear a detailed explanation of the actual situation. In addition, they reported scenes that talked about ideas for future actions or lessons.
In domestic news, in Korea they mentioned similar case, the teenager in leggings is reported to be rejecting boarding and they mentioned the racial controversy that happened because the victim of the case was Asian, well I think it is kind of racial discrimination , because abroad news was no specific mention!
I think racial discrimination is not thinking about person earnestly. even though in situation was not discriminate him, but after this event, they didn't opologize! it is very rude to passenger. at least if victim is white people, they didn't do that.

ReplyDeleteAbout two month ago, price of egg soared shaply because of the spread of avian influenza. Also, recently, outbreaking of foot-and-mouth disease, which infect marmmal that has cloven-hoof such as cattle, pigs, deer, and goats, make price of food higher.
According to News of Korean Herald, South Korea ranfked fifth among the 35 OECD counturies in the growth of fodd price in the first quater. (From jenuary to March period)
Comparing price of egg at now with price of egg at one year before, egg price has increased about 62%. Also livestock and fishery price have rised 8.5% too.
In second quarter, food price may be stablized because of success of goverment's quarantine policy. But the bird influenza began to spread again on June 2. So food price isn't expected to be stabilized. Eventhough, It will rise further.
I think goverment have to prepare influenza to end increasing of food price with actual effective policy such as dense prevention of influenza and quarantine system or importing food from foreign country. Because food price is connected to liveihood of citizen, it must be solved as quick as the goverment can.

As a sensitive issue, I think government action should be more prudent focusing on precautionary dimension as you said.
201232087 권영준
DeleteI think bird influenza is not reason to increase the egg price. In other words, there are another reason to increase the food price. I think distribution dealer is real reason for increasing price.
이다솔(Marion) 201432206
DeleteThere was Infectious disease especially AI almost every year, not only for this year. So it means government didn't solve the fundamental matter of AI, it focuses on only cover up the situation.
201233589 김주현
DeleteI think influenza is not a major problem of the increase of egg price. It is dealers who fix the price of the egg and take a lot of profit from them. After the government imported eggs from America, dealers provide frozen eggs which they stored for a long time. I think government should punish who fix the price of daily necessities and make a law to prevent this situation.
배승현 201432103
DeleteI agree. Government should do something. Common public (like us) cannot do anything about sudden increase of food price. Also the problem of AI egg sharp price rise was that small businesses that use eggs (such as bakery) couldn't purchase eggs. Some small bakery actually closed their business because they cannot make bread.

iran arrested 8 suspects who supproting the islamic state-calimed attacks on oran's parliament
chief justice of Alborz as saying These agents who were supporters of the two terrorist groups, and had full coordination with them, were arrested and they were delivered to Tehran's judicial and security authorities."
10 government staffers and five civilians were killed in the attacks that simultaneously targeted the country's parliament and the shrine of the late founder of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini
korea's news reports additional information like follow-up action, how to works intelligence activities.
U.S. news focused on crime, and what they have committed.
but both news are simillar. In this case, they deal only with facts, not opinions
these news influences crime suppression. so, reports about the criminal's arrest issue is desirable direction.
Since the terrorist attacks, the Iranian intelligence, Iran’s National Guard Corps and police have launched joint operations across the country to combat domestic Sunni underground armed organizations.
we need to help them. i think the world should cooperate in catching terrorists to prevent other terrorist attacks.

ReplyDeleteI watched both Korean news and American news about the United Air incident. They both reported the facts about the bleeding man who was the one that had been kicked out from the flight. Now, here was the difference between Korean news and American news. Korean news treated this incident as the racism problem. But American news didn't mention any thing about the racism. American news, of course told the fact of the man "forcibly" being dragged out of the plane, focusing on just the fact. In contrast, Korean news reported the man "unfairly" being dragged out, focusing more on the racial discrimination. Another difference I found was that I could read more detail information of the incident in American news than Korean news. They explained the contents of some videos in detail so we could know all the situation at that time in the fight.
Racism is a racial prejudice or discrimination. I think this United Air incident was a act of racism. Because the other 3 people of 4 they tried to kick out of the flight seat were also all the asians. In addition, the United Air is already known for their segregative acts. They have been repeated the racial and sexual discrimination a few times. In terms of ethics, the company deserves to be criticized.

ReplyDeleteI watched a news about a new government policy that the military service period will be shortened. According to the government, this change is necessary because they're aiming to foster crack and high-tech troops, instead of reducing the military service.
I think this policy is not so good. North Korea's Kim Jung-Eun is strengthening his army. He has improved conventional weapons such as tanks, submarines, and so on. At the same time, He's trying to strengthen asymmetric forces such as nuclear, missile, acoustic warfare, long range artillery, and cyber armies.
Currently, there are 625,000 soldiers in Korea. North Korea, however, has 1.28 million. If the number of reservists is added, South Korea has 3.1 million, when North Korea has 7.62 million. If we reduce the length of military service, our soldiers will be reduced to 510,000, and this consequence will further exacerbate the imbalance of military strength between South and North Korea.
There are also economic problems. To win North Korea with a small number of soldiers, at least, we must reach the US or Israel military level. Israel is investing in defense, spending as much as its five neighbors, and the US defense budget of this year is $ 534 billion which is higher than any other country in the world. If we fail to make that much investment, we'll face a big threat to our national security.

ReplyDeleteI watched the news about the shutdown of coal-fire plants. From June 1st 8 coal-fire plants being shutdowning. The shutdown was a follow-up of President Moon Jae-in's order to stop operations of coal-fired plants aged 30 years or older for the whole month of June to help bring down fine dust levels. Despite the shutdown, the country's electricity supply remained higher than its consumption for the seven-day period, according to the data from the Korea Power Exchange. and If 8 older fire-plants shutdown, it will expect 1-2% reduced of fine dust.
I think that theses days people are sensitive to fine dust. although president Moon's operation only reduce 1-2% of fine dust, it is symbolitically important. it can symbolize that Moon is concerning about fine dust and making solutions and acting it. I'm expecting more about Moon's government operations

ReplyDeleteThis news is a recent occurrence in our country.
As the man who raised the puppy, this incident was very shocking to me.
Nowadays many people living with the conpanion animals. .
This case is happend at the samdeon dong , seoul.
The woman left her companion dog, Star, to the vet hospital to travel to Jeju Island
Three days later, when she went looking for her puppy, she was not her puppy.
Her puppy was a woman, but the puppy she gave at the vet was a male
Initially, the hospital insisted that the puppy seemed to be missing, but when she, the owner, demanded a video of the CCTV,
Then the hospital said she was put to sleep.
How can this situation is happened?
To her, a dog is a child raised like her own daughter.
When she learns that she has lost her puppy, she gets a big wound that can not be repaid with money.
It would have fallen into an inrecoverable sadness.
She is preparing a lawsuit against the vet, but the results have not been revealed yet.
I feel that I need to clarify this case accurately, and I think that a director who does this irresponsible act requires strong punishment
our country has laws related to animals but the power of the government is too weak.
In our country, a companion is called a human being.
We have to recognize that a companion is a living creature rather than a possession.

ReplyDeleteUntil now, Thaad(Terminal High Altitude Air Defense system) is controversial issue in South Korea. Due to the influence of Thaad, the number of Chinese tourists who visit South Korea fell dramatically and it hurts Korea's tourism industry. I study tourism in university so I have interest in Thaad from this point of view. Therefore, I wondered what the search engines show as a result of the keyword 'South Korea, Thaad'. I selected three search engines, Google, Yahoo and Naver.
(This is the result searched by the keyword 'South Korea, Thaad'. I choose news that the search engine put up first.)
First, Google
Google shows news from Reuters, .
The main contents of the news is South Korea does not aim to change its agreement on the deployment of a U.S. anti-missile system to protect against North Korea, in spite of a decision to delay its full installation. Then, it shows thoughts of the US and Trump in Thaad. The US believes considering the threat from North Korea, a full THAAD battery is the best addition to the defense of South Korea. And Trump would either renegotiate or terminate a "horrible" free trade deal with South Korea and said Seoul should pay for THAAD, which he priced at $1 billion.
Google shows the result that include Trump’s view of Thaad. Google is worldwide search engine and the biggest one in the world, so it has power to control the public. But Google is operated by private owner, so it contains owner’s view. Also most information is written by the US political position.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-southkorea-usa-thaad-idUSKBN1900RQ
Second, Yahoo
Yahoo shows news from The Washington Post, .
The article focuses on the respons in South Korea and also shows respons in China, and gives a detailed account of Thaad. So I think it is appropriate to the person who wants to get a ‘informaton’ of Thaad.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/south-korea-suspends-deployment-of-american-missile-defense-system/2017/06/07/6215f314-4b60-11e7-b69d-c158df3149e9_story.html?utm_term=.d8ff9061914f
Last, Naver
Naver, South Korean seach engine, shows news from TVChosun,
China said, “if South Korea didn’t withdraw Thaad, every damage will go to Korea.” Korea thinks that deferring Thaad could calm down China but it isn’t. China asserts fundamental Thaad withdrawal even more. It shows us China’s view of Thaad.
I can notice that people of Korea have there eyes on China than the US in matter of Thaad. Then, the biggest search engine in Korea, Naver gives many information about China.
http://news.tvchosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2017/06/10/2017061090099.html
Through the contents I think every broadcast, newspaper and even the search engines gave us selective information. Therefore, we should check several search engines and try to have objective eyes for getting the correct information.

ReplyDeleteI read the Korean and American news about United Air incident that an Asian man forcibly dragged off the aircraft. Both news focused on the fact right after they have been reported the incident. American news described what was happened in the incident in detail. It also posted the comment what people said, including the passengers, twitter users, the CEO of United Air, and the Chicago Department of Aviation.
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/04/10/travel/passenger-removed-united-flight-trnd/index.html
In Korean news, however, focused on external factors such as stock decreases or how Korean airline react to overbooking. Also they covered racial discrimination in depth while American news just reported reactions in China. I found the news that covers about racial discrimination in CNN, but it was written by Asian columnist, known as Jeff Yang.

Racism is discrimination or prejudice people who has different race. I think this is an act of racism by United Air. If the passenger was a white person, would security officer did the same thing to him? Actually, United Air was in controversy about sexism and racism in the past. White people don’t tell they do racial discrimination, but they do it implicitly to Asians so they feel they’ve been subject to discrimination.
배승현 201432103
DeleteI also agree that United Air incident is sort of racism because racism incidents continually happened in United Air in the past.
- 2013, United Air mocked the Asiana Air fall incident (http://moneys.mt.co.kr/news/mwView.php?type=1&no=2017041110008013675&outlink=1)

배승현 201432103 (+addition)

ReplyDeletePublic Broadcast (KBS, MBC, SBS…) is not supposed to program commercial break –an advertisement between one program-. However, Public Broadcasts (KBS2, MBC, SBS) split one program to two, and *actually* programmed commercial break between two (which was *actually* one program). Public Broadcasts are claiming that “It’s not commercial break, it’s PCM (Premium CM)”.
The difference between commercial break and PCM is, commercial break is a commercial between *one* program, and PCM is a commercial between *two* programs. Because Public Broadcasts split one program to two, PCM is *legally* fine. (Even though every watcher knows that there is no actual difference between commercial break and PCM.)
Public Broadcast must be for public(citizen); it’s because Public Broadcast is using ‘sky radio wave’. Did you know that public owns the sky radio wave? Because Public Broadcast is using *our* sky radio wave, Public Broadcast *must* be for citizen. The fact that Public Broadcasts (KBS2, MBC, SBS) programmed PCM is showing they are NOT performing their duty. Driven by avarice, they ruthlessly infringed on public’s sovereignty. Public Broadcasts must stop what they’re doing. Government should establish the law about PCM. Public –which means ‘WE’- must fight for PCM.

I've never heard of these things. Do you know a tv show "super star K"? The MC of this show was famous for "let's see a commercial." or "We will meet again in a minute after commercial." during the show. I understand this commercial break can make a much money for show, however, this is very irritating for viewer. So as you said, I want for government to establish the law about this.

ReplyDeleteI choose a news about United airline incident.
April 9, one passenger of United Air Lines, was captured and forcibly carried off by the police because of Airline's booking over top. The airline, which had to secure a seat for the late arrival of the flight attendants, received a volunteer from another passenger boarding pass and hotel accommodations, but none of the passengers volunteered. After all, the airline picked up four passengers at random. Three acceded to demands but did not meet one. The airline asked police to airport to bring to force him.
I wanted to compare various news including Korean news and American news. There is a content about other passenger's reaction in a CNN news which korean news didn't have and, of course, a difference of focus (more of legal contents or economic influences) but I think there is a little difference of contents.
I think this is a racism because United Airline is notorious of racism of Asian for a long time. Let me give you one example, April 11, one korean man was waiting flights due to bad wether. That day late afternoon the plane resumed its service, but he couldn't receive any information. He complained “also allocated a seat for people who came later than me.” high. He claimed that who the first people were white, all remaining in the Middle East or Asian.
How the airlines behavior could change what if the passengers are white?
Racism means prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. President Donald Trump restricted Syrian refugees and travel by immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries.
In addition, there is a advertisement of washing machine of Qiaobi. First scene of commercial, a black man and a chinese woman stand together watching each other. Suddenly she pushes him into a washing machine. Few minutes later, a handsome chinese man comes out. The man, wearing a clean white shirt, winks a t the camera and golds up a detergent capsule.

ReplyDeleteI watched news about United airline incident. This incident was occured because of United Airline's over-booking. We know this situation is associated with asian racism. We know like this because we saw new from 'Korean NEWS'. In Korean NEWS, every news mentioned about asian racism problem. But, In American NEWS, they didn't mention about any racism problem. And just mention about procedure problem. They just focus on the man 'forcibly' being dragged out of the plan and in there the man was hurt. United airline incident is same situation, but we can see large difference between Korean NEWS and American NEWS.
I think United Airline's over-booking incident was not jush procedure problem but obvious racism problem. Because the man is asian, the sheriff treak him rudely and the man was hurt.
But in American NEWS, there is no mention about racism. American NEWS also have to admit and mention about racism and they have to broadcast correctly.

ReplyDeleteI read some news about the last London terror attack.
This terror is occurred 3rd June, in the eastern of London. About 10:00 pm, suddenly a white van is appeared at the London bridge. The van rushed to people. After that, the three men got out of the van and started an indiscriminate attack on the people. Also, they ran into some restaurant, and started stabbing people. Police arrived eight minutes after the incident and suppressed the terrorists. There are a lot of casualties, 7 deaths, about 50 injuries.
I saw that news on BBC, Fox news and Huffpost of Korea.
BBC and Fox news are focused on the contents of the case, so they report a lot of firsthand statements and the scene of the incident.
However, the Korean news is focused on the government's position after the incident. they report not only the scene of the incident, but also what the prime minister says. British prime minister, Theresa May, says that they will take decisive action quickly and swiftly. Also she says "Although there has been noticeable progress in recent years, frankly speaking, tolerance toward extremism has gone too far in England."
I think the abroad news is focused on the fact, but Korean news includes a few political elements. I don't know much about the politics, but I think the news including political elements can incite people because the news are often exposed to people.
And about the incident, I really mourn over and I think the British government has to make a strong policy against terrorism.

I think in this case, the British Prime Minister's statement is important too. Because The statement of Prime Minister shows the direction of government policy. So, I think showing up the statement of Prime Minister is very important to predict the next government activity. 201331150 박준덕
DeleteI have been searching for some news regarding with the issue of Harambe the Gorilla which people debated whether he should had been tranquilized or slain. The two articles which I used to compare to see the difference in describing the incident are from CNN and BBC. They both described it in an objective manner. However, they explain it with different perspective. The article from BBC simply describes what happened at the zoo only with the excuses the director of the zoo says as if they want to convince people, who are angry with the act of the zoo, that there were no other alternative and thus what the zoo did was right thing to do to ensure the safety of the child who fell into the enclosure. On the other hand, the article from CNN further explains the incident not only with the excuses from the director of the zoo but other details as well, for instance, previous cases like this one. In 1986, a 5-year-old boy tumbled into the gorilla enclosure. He was lying on the ground bleeding from his and unconscious. A male gorilla named Jambo approached him as if to check on him but when the boy started to cry, Jambo was seemingly surprised and moved to a different location. Then, a zookeeper quickly moved in to save the boy. A decade later, a 3-year-old boy fell into the gorilla enclosure in Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. This time, a female gorilla named Binti Jua picked up the unconcious boy, guarded him from other gorillas and took him right to a door so that a zookeeper could take him to a safe place.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it is understandable that it was emergency and thus there were not much time to make the decision, I personally think that it was not necessary to slain Harambe the Gorilla as he did not do anything harmful to the kid rather he dragged him from the water and took him to a different location where it seems safer.
