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 eliminate Archaeopteryx horses, the Archaeopteryx, 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 seeking an alternative development model. Origins The growth of Iron Age culture brought more sophisticated states like Goguryeo Baekje and Silla to the Korean peninsula. They all developed a distinct culture that merged with the influence of their powerful neighbours and they also adopted aspects of Chinese culture, including Confucianism and Buddhism while shamanism remained to be practiced. Goguryeo was the first of these kingdoms to establish its own version of government to the Korean people. It established a king centered system of government in the 2nd Century. It expanded its territory into Manchuria and the northern part of the Peninsula by an array of wars that drove the Han loyalists out of the region. It was during this period that a regional confederation emerged known as Buyeo. In the Samguk yusa of the 13th century, Wang Geon's name was mentioned as the king. Buyeo was then referred to as Goryeo and this is how the name Korea was born. Goryeo was a prosperous commercial state and was also a center for education. They raised sheep, goats as well as other livestock, and made furs out of them. They performed masked dance-dramas like tallori and sandaenori. They also celebrated an annual festival in December called Yeonggo. The economy of Goryeo was boosted by brisk trade, including with the Song Dynasty of China. Traders from Central Asia, Arabia, Southeast Asia and Japan came to Byeongnando, the gateway to Gaeseong, the capital city. Gaeseong. Silk and medicinal herbs were among the items they brought. Around around 8,000 BCE Around 8,000 BCE, the Koreans started to establish permanent settlements and began cultivating cereal crops. They also created polished pottery, stone tools and began organising themselves in clan societies. The Neolithic Age lasted until the 12th century BC. Around this time Gija, a prince from the Shang dynasty of China is believed to have introduced a higher culture to Korea. Until the 20th century many Koreans believed that Dangun and Gija gave Korea its people and their basic culture, respectively. Functions Korea's traditional model of development, which emphasized state-led capital accumulation, government intervention in industry and business and a rapid economic growth and a rapid rise from one of the poorest countries in the world to being among the top of OECD nations in just three decades. However, the system was fraught with moral hazard and outright corruption, making it unsustainable in a world economy of trade liberalization, openness and the process of democratization. The current crisis has exposed the weaknesses of the previous paradigm, and it's likely that an alternative model will emerge in its place. Chapters 3 and 4 look at the genesis of Korea's business-government risk partnership, and show how the emergence of business actors with an interest in preserving this model prevented it from making fundamental changes. These chapters, which concentrate on corporate governance and financial resources allocation, provide an in-depth analysis of the root factors that led to this crisis, and suggest strategies to implement reforms. Chapter 5 examines possibilities for Korea's post-crisis evolution of the development paradigm, exploring both the legacies of the past and the new trends triggered by the IT revolution. It also examines the implications of these changes for Korea's political and social structures. A major finding is that several emerging trends are changing the power structure in Korea, and it is these developments that will determine the course of the country's future. For instance, despite fact that political participation is still highly restricted in Korea, new methods of political activism bypass and challenge political parties, thereby transforming the democratic system in the country. Another important finding is that the power and influence of the Korean elite has diminished. A large segment of the population feels disengaged from the ruling class. This suggests the need to work harder at civic education and participation and new models of power sharing. The chapter concludes by stating that the success of Korea's new paradigm for development will be determined by how these trends can be combined and the willingness of people to make difficult choices. Benefits South Korea has the ninth largest economy in the world and the sixth fastest-growing. It has a huge and growing middle class, and also a strong research and development base that drives innovation. Additionally the government has recently increased investment in infrastructure projects to support growth in the economy and to promote social equity. In 2008, Lee Myung Bak's administration announced five leading indicator in an effort to create an economic system that was focused on changes and practicality. The administration made efforts to streamline the government organization and privatize public corporations with more efficiency, and to overhaul administrative regulations. Since the ending of the Cold War, South Korea pursues a plan of integration of its economy with the rest of the world and outside the region. Its exports of advanced manufacturing technology and high-tech consumer electronics have become a major source of income. In addition the government has been pushing the Saemaeul Undong (New Community Movement) initiative, transforming the nation from a rural society to one focused on manufacturing. ?? ???? has a high standard of living and offers many benefits for employees, such as the right to maternity leave and job security. Employers are also required to subscribe accident insurance, which covers the cost of workplace-related illnesses or injuries. It is also common for companies offer private medical insurance to cover ailments that are not covered by National Health Insurance. South Korea is viewed as an example of success for many developing nations across the globe. However the global financial crisis that hit Asia in 1997 challenged this view. The crisis shattering the myths about Asia's miracle economies, and led to an overhaul of the role of governments in regulating risky private ventures. It seems that Korea's fate remains uncertain in the wake of these changes. A new generation of leaders have adopted the image of an "strong leader" and begun to experiment with market-oriented policies. A powerful domestic power base makes it difficult to implement any major change. Disadvantages The reemergence and influence of creationists is a major hurdle for Korean science in its efforts to educate the public about evolution. While the majority of Koreans support teaching evolution in schools, a small group of creationist groups--led by a microbiologist called Bun-Sam Lim, the head of the Society for Textbook Revise (STR)--is insisting on its removal from textbooks. ???? ??? believes that teaching evolution is promoting a "materialist atheism" and portrays a "unhopeful worldview" for students. This can cause students to lose faith in humanity. The causes of this anti-evolution stance are complex and varied. sell 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. In addition the one-sided populism of the government, supported by powerful conservative think tanks and business interests which has led to public disdain for the scientific community. Ultimately, the widespread vulnerabilities discovered in this study point to an urgent need for targeted policy interventions to preemptively minimize the risks. As Seoul continues to work towards becoming a cohesive urban environment, these insights serve as an impetus for a unified push for greater inclusivity in its policies. In the COVID-19 case, identifying vulnerable neighborhoods and the occupants will be essential to crafting precise, compassionate policies that improve their wellbeing and security. The significant impact of COVID-19 on Jjokbangs, for example is a reflection of the socio-economic differences that can compound 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 issues of the city. This requires a fundamental shift in the structure and power of institutional politics. Currently, the Blue House is able to mobilize a vast bureaucracy and politically leverage the Supreme Prosecutor's Office and intelligence bureau, which all are not subject to oversight by parliamentary bodies or independent inspection agencies. This gives the president the ability to dictate their own vision on the rest of the nation. This is a recipe that could lead to polarization and stagnation of the country.
