News from “The Korea Herald” : More efforts urged to fight flu []  In Korea, Four people were dead with the infection of the H1N1 flu virus. This fact drew people in panic and they try to keep sanitize to protect themselves from the H1N1 virus. People always try to gathering news, since they have no vaccines and no treatment to cure it. However, this news shows how the Koreans show their concerns and worries on the flu, with the result of the survey shows that most of Korean wants the flu vaccination. Korean Government shows active supports on this problem, and they try to get more information about H1N1 virus, like find the infection route and direct cause of the death with H1N1. H1N1 is the hot world issue today. People in the whole countries, also Koreans, are still panic about it and keep their sanitation for their safeness. I hope, if people still investigate about vaccines and get more information about the H1N1; perhaps they could get a victory from this soundless war.

The first H1N1 vaccine was came from the China, and it might be effects to the whole citizen- panic from peace, but I guess people still worry about the effects of the vaccine- Since lots of people die with H1N1. But this is a one of the progress- progress for develop more high-effective vaccines for people. Perhaps H1N1 is became one of the cureable disease! I think, people shows lots of interests and worries about this news, and it could be give a possitive effects on their mind.

2009-09-19 [] "Justice ministry to lower legal adult age to 19"

Korean government decides: they will lower the legal adult age from 20 to 19. Perhaps, this movement calls the confusion from the people who agrees and disagrees, even it didn't apply for several years. However, it might be works better, even today's teenagers, who lives in the society that occurs high-education level and influenced by medias(Including internet), has the early physical and psychological maturity, might be occures more rights for the adult. But, somehow, they need other special educations for the basic education of the "art of living"- even this is learn from the lots of educations, they still need it, because lack of educations would be call a conflict between others. Government might give middle-high school students for the chance to see how "real" society goes on.

2009-09-27 [] "G20 Leaders Agree, Broadly, on Climate Change"

Group of 20, G20 for shorten, try to concentrate on climate chage. It makes me interest, because I think G20 always concentrate on the problems that came from public finance. Perhaps world climate from polution and industialization is setteled as one of the biggest, hottest problem in the world, even G20 mentions about it. I hope nation can find most global, effective way to solve the problem- the problem that only can settle in most global and most proffestional way, the problem we cannot solve.

2009-10-25 [] "When Netizens Attack" Today, internet is settled as important-resource to gattering informations and news in our everyday life. People can chattering and said their opinion and spedning news using internet. But, internet, which people can see other people's slight information, always used as 'bad way' to represent their and spreading rumors. Perhaps people need more think before they write something on the internet. They must realize the dangerous of the internet and anonymity. They need more matured thoughts and realize the dangrous- Every person can spoil or break somebody's life with small greedy or envy writing on his/her weblog.

2009-11-08 [] "Pregnant? You're fired " This problem still makes an argument between some middle or small company in Korea, as Singapore does. Even people have rules and laws about women's labor, most of companies still ignores this one. People might need to realize and think another way to solve this problem- since they realize that "Pregnant" is not a reason, or disturbs, or makes problem in the working or their ability in working.
