South Korea Plan For The Future !

                                       ~ ( My Opinion ) ~
    - I think South Korea will become a better country. If the police continue to do what they was doing to stop all the rally's and everything.Also if South Korea and North Korea get alone it will be better , it will be least war and least conflict in the country. Because all that is just pulling the country apart and one day they might need to fight together and go against someone else.

South Korea Church Council to be Sued for Sending Aid to North

http://www.christianpost.com/news/seoul-may-sue-south-korean-church-council-for-sending-aid-to-north-korea-50538/

     This article is about Church Council did not receive government permission before sending $87,000-worth of aid support to a North Korean Christian group, they was not supposed to send anything to North Korea because they have not been getting alone.This is causing conflict between Christian groups wishing to send food and medicines north across the border, and the South Korean government. The South Korean government is now angry with the NCCK and plans to sue.

    I think this is bad thing because even though their not getting alone doesn't mean the church cant feed the hungrey or help them out. I also think  its petty that they would even try to sue someone for something like that, churches are supposed to help others when needed. I wonder if they will even be able to sue for that. 

South Korean Prostitutes, Pimps Rally Against Police Crackdown

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/17/south-korea-prostitutes-pimps-protest_n_863002.html#s279711

 

     This article is about prosistutes and pimps protesting because police are trying to stop alot of prosistuting and all that other stuff. They had a big rally , their where women with face mask and body paint all over them. Their was really serious about this , they was so serious that some of the try to light their self in flames and pretty much kill they self  right at the rally. They wasnt able to do that because many others stopped them from doing that. Alot of people also got in disagreement and started pushing police. But nobody was injuried.
   I think that this is a very bad thing , First its bad because people are actually still being pimps and stuff like that. Then its more bad that they was actually trying to take their own life because the police was trying to stop this and make it a better country. All the things they were doing was so uncalled for .

Lawmaker gets suspended jail term for sexual remarks

http://www.southkoreanews.net/story.php?rid=45677581

      Kang Yong-seok of the ruling Grand National Party was sentenced to six months in prison suspended for one year for making lewd remarks to female collegians, a court on Wednesday. He will lose his parliamentary seat if the sentence is confirmed by the Supreme Court. Kang was indicted earlier this year on charges of making sexually abusive remarks during a dinner with dozens of female students from Yonsei University in Seoul, portraying female TV presenters as prostitutes. He did this after he had been drinking with friends.

    I think that was very unprofessional for him to say and he deserve to be punished , he would'nt like if someone said something like this to his daughter or wife so he should have never said that to no one else. I think he should loose his job for saying something like that. I also think he shouldnt even been on tv if he was drinking right before.

Elite South Korean University Rattled by Suicides

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/23/world/asia/23southkorea.html?_r=1&ref=southkorea

    This article is about in Daejeon , At the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology , and with final exams beginning Monday the school is still reeling from the recent suicides of four students and a popular professor . They really dont know what's going on and why are all these sucides are acurring at their school. They decided  making more counseling avaliable since all the sucides, may help some people not do that type of thing to their self.

    
      I think this such a bad thing, It is no reason all these students should be killing their self and even a professor. I think the school need to maybe check some of these kids home life and talk to their parents more to see what's going on and why is this happening. I also think maybe bulling can be the problem so they should try to help stop that has much as possible. But I think its good that their starting more counseling because that can really help alot of kids with their problem.

   

South Korean island opposes plans to unleash pamphlet-laden balloons against North

 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/southkorea/8403432/South-Korean-island-opposes-plans-to-unleash-pamphlet-laden-balloons-against-North.html

     This article about a meeting of the heads of 18 districts in Baengnyeong island, came after the communist North issued a fresh warning that it would open fire at places wherever activists released helium-filled balloons carrying leaflets containing news of Arab uprisings and calling for the overthrow of the North's regime.  Pyongyang has threatened to open fire near the border. Tourists have stopped visiting the island after the North shelled another front line island in November last year in protest at Seoul's naval training near the  sea border in the Yellow Sea.

   I think that they should not be going to war they are to close to eachother , They the same country just different sides. Instead of going against eachother they just be joining and fighting against somewhere else. This fighting stuff is so uncalled for .

Acupuncture needle removed from lung of former South Korean president

The needle was removed from former President Roh Tae-woo
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/southkorea/8489896/Acupuncture-needle-removed-from-lung-of-former-South-Korean-president.html

 
       This article is about a former South Korean president Roh Tae-woo, he 78 years old and has been in poor health since 2002 when he received surgery for prostate cancer. He was released from Seoul National University Hospital on Monday after surgery to remove the 2.6 inch needle. His doctors was confused on how that needle end up in his lungs. He had to got threw many different procedures , one was  penetrating the lung.

      I feel like this is very wierd , I never heard of a person getting a needle stuck in they lungs. I sure he was in lots of pain just living with that in his lungs. I also know that it was very different for a doctor to get that out his lungs without messing up any things in his body.

South Korea’s Jobless Rate Declines to a 3-Month Low As Economy Recovers

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-05-10/south-korea-s-jobless-rate-declines-to-a-3-month-low-as-economy-recovers.html

    This article is about the unemployment rate in South Korea fell to a three month low. The jobless rate fell to 3.6 percent in April from 4 percent in March and the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of 12 economists was for a rate of 3.8 percent. An improving job market, combined with higher energy and food costs that are fueling inflation at home, may compel the Bank of Korea to raise its benchmark interest rate to 3.25 percent when it meets on May 13 .

   I think its bad that people loosing jobs because thats gone cause more poor people. But I think as the econonmy improves job rate will rise back how it supposed to be. It will lower the rate of proverty .

Risk Factors for Long-Term Diseases Rise in South Korea

http://topnews.net.nz/content/214780-risk-factors-long-term-diseases-rise-south-korea

  

   

    



 
    

    This article is about the risk factors for disesases in South Korea , their talking about how the risk is risisng. Most of the diseases is heart disease,strokes and diabetes.The study was found by Kwang Kon Koh of Gil Medical Center in Incheon, who said that the main reasons behind disturbed metabolism among Koreans are junk food, watching more TV, and performing less exercise or physical activity.
     
     I think they need more healthier food in their country that may help. Also they need people that will show them how bad the food they eating is for they body, like a doctor or something. But i think once they see people dying from these diseases that might make them slow down a little on these types of foods.

Dying woman denied flight finally lands in South Korea

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/43022135/ns/travel-news/

    This is about a women named Crystal Kim dying of stage 4 breast cancer . She only had a few months to live. She has been trying to get back to her country for 5 days. At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport she and her daughter had been denied so many flights. The airlines wouldn let her on the planes because they was scared she might died on the plan , but luckly she had a doctors note to get her by , other wise she probably wouldnt made it back to her country.

  I think its goods and bads to this situation, it was good they didnt let her board because she could've died on the plane and that probably could've caused them to get in trouble. But its also bad that she possible wouldnt ade it around her family before she would have died, she would heve died in a airport .

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/southkorea/8434916/South-Korean-school-cancel-class-over-radiation-rain-fears-from-Japan.html

Article Summary :
   
        This article is about 126 school are closing in Gyeonggi and 43 other school are having shortened classes because of the japan radiationing leak into the air . But the prime minister's office says radiation levels in the rain are low and pose no health threat, they still was convince to close so many schools .
Reaction :
       I think that they shouldnt close schools because actually school i keeping the kids inside. By them letting them out early is really not the saftest thing. Also kids still need a education even if this little stuff is happening . But i think they should keep a eye on everything just to make sure nothing is leeking in Korea.

  Article summary :

        This article is about on Wensday in Seoul South Korea they found a man nailed down to a wooden cross in quarry stone with a thorn crown on his head. Then on Sunday in Mungyoung they found a man about 115 miles,190kilometers southeast of Seoul , Wearing just underwear hanging with rope and string wrap arond his body. Polices has been finding all type of materials like hammer , nails and other things for these crimes, they found instructions and everything to do the crime too .
Reaction :
      I think that it been the same person doing this to all these people , because its crazy that all these crimes near eachother and they all kinda the same. I also think that need to investigate more so they can make sure they get this man before he do somebody else like this soon. I wonder why is the person doing this and why is he making it look like what happened to jesus .

S. Korea conducts live-fire drill on Yeonpyeong Island

http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/news/2011/03/30/0200000000AEN20110330003200315.HTML

  Article :
       South Korea's military started a live-fire artillery drill on Wednesday on a border island shelled by North Korea last November, officials said, the second firing drill since the North's bombardment that inflamed tensions.The firing exercise was started by marines on Yeonpyeong Island, near the tense Yellow Sea border with North Korea it started at around 9:30 a.m. and was scheduled to last for about three hours.

Reaction:
  I think it was a bad for South Korea to have did this , They could've killed soo many innocent people. But North Korea did threaten them first so they kinda had a reason , but they also could have did something a little better then did that . I just think they sould have been the better people and did the right thing, and just waited to see was they really going to do what they said they was gone do . I think that because now this can cause a lot of problems between these countries and that is really not a good thing.
