Review of the tuition fee

·         Review of the tuition fee

These days there are so many students who are suffering from high tuition fee. When we just selected current president in Korea, we thought there was going to be nothing to worry about. But as we know, it didn’t seem to be that way. The tuition fee is currently still going up. While we were listening to the presentation of our classmate, we could realize how terrible our system is. Especially, I really don’t figure out why president is doing nothing about this problem. Nowadays he has been focusing on our projects, so he stopped thinking about this problem.

When we compared our scholarship with USA’s, we can easily understand how much different it is. According to article, 70% of the college students in U.S are getting some benefits from university or government, so most of them don’t have to worry about their tuition. However, In Korea, 20% of the college students are getting scholarship from school or government. I just wonder why there are so big differences. Of course, U.S is a much bigger nation than our country. But do we really think that’s the only reason that we can’t get a proper benefit from our government?

I think there are several factors. One of the big reasons is that our politicians don’t think it is a serious problem. Of course, there are so many things they should deal with, but this problem is one of the serious problems they should handle now. When they just take this problem seriously, we can hope we are getting more chances to focus on our study. On the bright side, a lot of universities just started to think of this problem, so some principles of the universities said we have no plan to go up our tuition for years. I know it is not what we wanted to hear, but at least we made them consider this problem seriously.

Evaluate of Mr. Ahn

Evaluate of Mr. Ahn

I think Mr. Ahn is one of the most famous people in Korea these days. All of us have already known about how much things he have done to our society. So, we can just call this situation as a Mr. Ahn syndrome. One day, he just said he is going to run for mayor of Seoul city. A lot of fans of him just worried about this situation because they though he doesn’t have any idea about politics. We also wonder that he is really doing his job very well as a politician.

Some people just said we will support him whether he is going to do very well or not. Some fans of him have different ideas that there are other many things he could do. We have already seen so many people who were changed after being a politician. I am also a little bit worried about this part. Most of us just thought that he doesn’t have to take that risks which are worthless. He should focus on what he has been doing in other fields. But some people still think that he is the one who can change our society much better. There is no perfect answer because nobody can predict our future. No matter how he decides, a lot of people are willing to support his idea. I am also one of these people as a fan. However, he recently changed his mind that he isn’t going to be a politician. I was relived about this news but I still don’t know why.

In conclusion, he has been doing so many great things in our society. He used to be a professor, CEO, medical doctor, or so on. Even though he recently changed his mind, I still respect his achievement. Especially, when I read a book he wrote lately, it had really inspired me a lot. After reading this book, I started to believe in myself. It is no doubt about how well he has done in this society. And I also think that he will continually influence good effects to us.             

Audition boom


These days, a lot of people started to look at auditions. I am the one who are really interested in watching these programs, which are also affecting so many things to our society. While we are watching these audition programs, I just enjoyed without thinking. But when I had heard the presentation of audition boom, I noticed that there are some kinds of problems.

Many directors of these programs just want to get a lot of attention from us, so they don’t care about broadcasting applicant’s private matters in public. I wouldn’t have ever thought about that matter. I just enjoyed watching that program. When I just realized this problem, I have a question. Who is going to take care of these problems? As soon as the directors of these programs broadcast applicant’s privacy, the participants will lose their human rights. I guess the participants have obviously signed up on the contract at first. Does that mean it is ok to ignore their human rights? Even thought I really like these audition programs, I think there are some problems we should think of.

In conclusion, I was thinking about the problem of human right. I have no idea about the law. So if it is ok to broadcast their personal matters, I have no right to say which one would be right or not. Sometimes when I just had read some news about the people who were shocked because of their own bad news, I really feel sorry. While we are enjoying these audition programs, we also should focus on some negative effects.

Review of ‘ F1’

Before my classmates made a presentation, I wasn’t so interested in this field. In this presentation, they gave us so much good information. When Jeonranamdo held this event, a lot of people were worried about preparing this event. As we know, it is really hard to prepare this kind of world event. But there were some good effects by holding this event.

First of all, while we are preparing this event, a lot of people had been hired temporarily. Even though they were kind of temporary worker, at least they can work for a while. Of course, we are not satisfied with this result. We should figure out how we can continue to make these workers work continually. It just made one serious problem. Second, even though we spent so much money on this event, I think we did do very well. By holding this event, obviously the other countries paid attention to Korea during this time. We can’t guess how much it would affect to our society.

In conclusion, Jeonranamdo have never had this experience before. Now they know how to deal with this event very well. I think when they have a chance to hold a world event again, we can do very well. Of course, this event just remains some problems we should solve for the rest of time. By solving these kinds of problems, we are going to be a better country.
