Evolution Korea
|
||||
|
||||
Korean scientists don't take chances when it comes to the fight over evolution. The Society for Textbook Revise has been fighting to remove the Archaeopteryx as well as horses and other evolutionary icons from textbooks.
|
||||
|
||||
Confucian traditions, with their emphasis on success in the world and high importance of learning continue to dominate the culture of the country. However, Korea is in search of an alternative development model.
|
||||
|
||||
Origins
|
||||
|
||||
The growth of Iron Age culture brought more sophisticated states such as Goguryeo Baekje and Silla to the Korean peninsula. They all developed a unique culture which blended with the influence of their powerful neighbours and they also adopted various aspects of Chinese culture, particularly Confucianism and Buddhism while shamanism remained to be practised too.
|
||||
|
||||
Goguryeo the first of the Korean kingdoms was the first kingdom to establish their own system of government. It consolidated its power at the end of the 1st century and established a king-centered governing system in the 2nd century. Through a series of wars, it eliminated the factions loyal to the Han dynasty from the north of the peninsula. It also expanded its territory in Manchuria too.
|
||||
|
||||
It was during this period that a regional confederation emerged called Buyeo. In the Samguk yusa of the 13th century Wang Geon's name was recorded as king. Buyeo was changed to Goryeo and, consequently, the name Korea. Goryeo had a strong commercial state and was also a place for learning. They raised goats, sheep and other animals and made furs out of them. They performed masked dance-dramas like tallori and sandaenori. They also held an annual festival in December. It was called Yeonggo.
|
||||
|
||||
The economy of Goryeo was stimulated by the brisk trade, which included the Song Dynasty in China. Traders from Central Asia, Arabia, Southeast Asia and Japan came to Byeongnando which was the entrance to Gaeseong's capital city. Gaeseong. Some of the items they brought were medicinal herbs and silk.
|
||||
|
||||
From around 8,000 BCE The Koreans began to establish permanent settlements and cultivating cereal crops. They also developed pottery and polished stone tools and began forming clan societies. The Neolithic Age continued until the 12th century BC. At the time, Gija, a Shang dynasty prince from China is believed to have introduced high-culture to Korea. Many Koreans believed, right up to the 20th century, that Gija and Dangun gave Korea their people a basic culture.
|
||||
|
||||
Functions
|
||||
|
||||
Korea's previous development model that emphasized the importance of capital accumulation by the state and government intervention in industry and business, aided in rapid economic growth that took it from being one of the world's poorest nations to the ranks of OECD countries in three decades. This model was rife with moral hazard and corruption that was outright. It was therefore unsustainable in an economy marked by trade liberalization, liberalization and democratic change.
|
||||
|
||||
The current crisis has revealed the weaknesses of the previous paradigm, and it is likely that a new model will emerge in its place. Chapters 3 and 4 examine the origin of Korea's government-business risk partnership, and demonstrate how the emergence of business actors with an interest in maintaining this system prevented it from making fundamental changes. These chapters, which focus on corporate governance and financial resource allocation, offer a comprehensive analysis of the root causes of this crisis, and suggest strategies to move forward with reforms.
|
||||
|
||||
Chapter 5 explores the possible avenues for Korea's post-crisis paradigm of development, exploring both the legacies of the past and the new trends created by the IT revolution. It also examines how these trends will impact Korea's current political and social structures.
|
||||
|
||||
The main conclusion is that there are a variety of emerging trends that are transforming the nature of power and will decide the future of the country. For instance, despite fact that political participation is still a major issue in Korea, new ways of political activism bypass and challenge the power of political parties, thus transforming country's democracy.
|
||||
|
||||
Another significant finding is that the power of the Korean elite isn't as great as it once was, and that a large portion of society has a sense of being disconnected from the ruling class. This is a sign of the need for more civic involvement and education as well as new ways of power sharing. In the end, the chapter concludes that the success or failure of Korea's development model will depend on how these new trends can be incorporated into the ability to make tough decisions.

Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
South Korea is the world's ninth largest economy and the sixth fastest growing. It has a large and growing middle class as well as a strong research and development base that is driving innovation. In addition the government has recently increased investment in infrastructure projects to aid economic growth and promote social equity.
|
||||
|
||||
In 2008, [무료 에볼루션](https://evolutionkr.kr/) the Lee Myung-bak administration announced five indicators of leadership in an attempt to establish a new development system with a focus on change and practicality. It aimed to streamline government administration, privatize public companies with greater efficiency, and reform administrative regulation.
|
||||
|
||||
Since the conclusion of the Cold War, South Korea is pursuing a strategy for the integration of its economy with the rest and beyond the region. Exports of high-tech consumer electronics and advanced manufacturing technologies have become a major source of income. The government is also pushing Saemaeul Undong, which is a new community movement, to transform the country from a society that is primarily agricultural to one that is focused on manufacturing.
|
||||
|
||||
The country also has an extremely high standard of living, and provides various benefits to employees, including pregnancy leave and job security. Additionally, employers are required to sign up to accident insurance that covers payments associated with work-related illness or injury. It is also typical for companies provide private medical insurance to cover illnesses not covered by National Health Insurance.
|
||||
|
||||
In the end, South Korea has been seen as a model of prosperity for many emerging countries around the world. The global financial crisis of 1997, that swept across Asia and the world, challenged this notion. The crisis challenged the notion about Asia's miracle economies and led to a fundamental reappraisal of the role played by the state in managing risky private economic activities.
|
||||
|
||||
It seems that Korea's fate remains uncertain in the wake of these changes. A new generation of leaders have taken on the image of an "strong leader" and have begun to experiment with market-oriented policies. On the contrary, a strong domestic power base has made it difficult to implement radical changes.
|
||||
|
||||
Advantages
|
||||
|
||||
The reemergence of creationists is a major obstacle for Korean science's efforts to inform citizens about evolution. While the majority of Koreans are in favor of teaching evolution in schools some creationist groups, led by a microbiologist named Bun-Sam Lim, the head of the Society for Textbook Revise (STR)--is advocating for its removal from textbooks. STR argues teaching evolution promotes a "materialist atheism" and portrays a "unhopeful worldview" for students. This can cause students to lose faith in humanity.
|
||||
|
||||
The roots of anti-evolution sentiments are complex and diverse. Some researchers suggest that it is due to religious belief, while others point to an increasing prevalence of anti-intellectualism, which has been exacerbated by growing political elite fragmentation along ideologies, regions, class, and gender. The one-sided populism, supported by powerful conservative think organizations, business interests and other influential organizations, has also contributed to the public's distrust of the scientific community.
|
||||
|
||||
In the end, the study's findings on numerous vulnerabilities point to the need for targeted policies that can reduce them before they occur. These findings will assist Seoul to reach its goal of creating an urban landscape that is cohesive.
|
||||
|
||||
In the COVID-19 case, identifying the most vulnerable neighborhoods and their inhabitants is essential for the development of precise, compassionate policies to improve their lives and safety. The COVID-19 epidemic's disproportionate impact on Jjokbangs for instance, reflects socio-economic disparities which can increase vulnerability to both natural and man-made disasters.
|
||||
|
||||
To overcome this, South Korea requires a more inclusive and diverse civil society that can unite all communities to solve the most pressing problems of the city. This requires a fundamental shift in the structure of the institution, starting with the power of the president. The Blue House can mobilize a large bureaucracy, and use the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, and the intelligence bureau to exert influence on the political scene. These agencies aren't subject to oversight by the parliamentary bodies or independent inspection agencies. This gives the president a huge leverage to impose his or her own vision on the rest of the nation. This can lead to political polarization that could lead to stagnation and polarization in the country.
