Pros and Cons of Genetically Modified Food.

  On Monday morning, Jung-min Lee and Soo-jin Yoon presented Pros and Cons of Genetically Modified Food. Genetically Modified Food is known as GMO foods. After I saw the presentation, I felt strongly that we should stop using GMO foods due to affecting bad effects on not only us but also ecosystem. This is reasons that I obejct to GMO. 
 
  First, GMO could threat the ecosystem. As seen by presentation, Super salmons which were raised by GMO are much bigger than general salmons, even younger. And these are eating much more or have strong reproduction than general salmons. Therefore, general salmons will become extinct by Super salmons. If general salmons die out, food chain will be broken and then ecosystem will be in danger.
  
  Second, GMO foods have potential diseases. Nowadays, though simple diseases like peanut disease in Brazil or common allergy appeared, our dietary life and healthy  are being menaced due to GMO foods which have potential diseases. Because we don’t have any information or symptom about potential diseases, they are more dangerous in our lives.
 
  Practically, GMO foods are used in many parts sausages, hams and so on. Also, people think that we can make alternative energy or solve the food problem by using GMO foods. I agree this point, too, but basically GMO foods which threat our dietary life and healthy should be treated by regulation of government or obvious labeling systems for our lives.

Social Commerce.

  On Monday morning, Bo-ra Lim and Tae-won Kim explained about Social Commerce in Korea. Recently, Social Commerce is being used by many people and being supplied widely. Especially, young people who familiar the Internet or Smart Phone are using Social Commerce, and it confer a benefit to our. Therefore, my opinion about Social Commerce is that we should take advantage of Social Commerce more and more.

  First, we enjoy products of the high class more cheaply. Most of students same like me can’t experience lives of high price and goods of high class. But due to companies like Social Commerce which give our big sale, we can taste these products and enjoy our lives more richly.

  Second, Social Commerce has so many products that we can choose parts of products which we need. Although department stores or discount stores are giving sale to our, parts of sale are restrictive. But Social Commerce offers many parts and is easily purchased.

  Third, we can make our lives glowing. Contemporary old people who don’t familiar use the Internet or Smart Phone and don’t know Social Commerce are living in being satisfied with their situations or income. But by using Social Commerce, young people can experience many things without economical problems or income situations.

  But, now a law about Social Commerce doesn’t exist. So, customers who use Social Commerce should be careful of contraction of coupons and government has to make a law as fast as possible.

Cohabitation in Korea.

  Monday morning, Jung-min and Sang-chul presented about Cohabitation before marriage in Korea. In our country, recently many problems are happening due to cohabitation before marriage. To live together former marriage is very argumentative issue and accompanied by a lot of opinions. So, my opinionof this subject is the opposite.

 
 First, cohabitants may get hurt on the impulse of the moment. To know spouses’ tendency after promising marriage doesn’t make problems. But, if people cohabitdue to effect of media or just economic aspects, they will have little emotional band and responsibility.

 
 Second, cohabitants can’t be protected by law. Finland or in some other European countries are supporting cohabitation and have law which protects them. However, in our country which has a strong conservative inclination, not only law for cohabitants doesn’t exist but also people look them discriminatorily.

 
 Lastly, there are many cases of marry after pregnancy, but breaking up after pregnancy is more than those because they feel less responsibility. Therefore, rate of single mothers and abortion cannot help increasing. Also, Korea doesn’t have many facilities for single mother. These problems are one of the most serious things in our society.

 
 I agree that cohabitation assuming marriage is good, but cohabitation can cause social and personal problems. In conclusion, we refrain from cohabitation as possible as and government should make law for cohabitants.

Refugees in Korea. - Korea should take care of refugees.

There are some refugee camps in Korea. There are many people who have dissatisfaction of their country and unavoidable or dangerous situations in their country. My opinion for these people is that we should accommodate refugees in Korea.

First, there are many cases that are to protect their lives and avoid hard situations. Therefore, most of refugees cannot help choosing refuge due to terrible situations. If they are someone who do to study or work, they are not refugees. So, government should take care of refugees and provide them with place to rest.

Second, in spite of being not legal immigrants, as refugees are working in hard and exhausting work, they are giving economy of our country support. In Korea, recognized as 3D(dangerous, dirty, difficult) jobs feel shortages of labor because most of Koreans want to work at good firms, providing high salary, and more easy duty. Truly, so refugees are in these areas, many industries of our country benefit from their sacrifice.

Lastly, as our country helps refugees, it will win humanity recognition from the world. From old times, Korea has affection and prefers public to private. It is hard that our country look after people who do not set foot somewhere and are tired by starvation. But, if we get in trouble, we will receive aid from other countries. On the other hand, Korea should nationally support refugees to study about Korea and become legal immigrants. Also, it makes a shelter for refugees.

Therefore, after presentation my opinion is that we should support money and policy for refugees nationally and humanely.
