Evolution Korea When it comes to the debate over evolution, Korean scientists aren't taking their chances. The Society for Textbook Revise (STR) has been fighting to have the Archaeopteryx and horses removed from textbooks, saying they are typical icons of evolutionism. Confucian traditions, with their focus on achieving success in the world and high value of learning still dominates the culture of the country. However, Korea is looking for an alternative development model. Origins The growth of Iron Age culture brought more sophisticated states like Goguryeo Baekje and Silla to the Korean peninsula. Each of them developed a unique cultural style that merged with influences from their powerful neighbours. They also adopted elements of Chinese culture, including Confucianism, Buddhism and shamanism. ???? ??? was the first of these kingdoms to impose its own system of government on the Korean people. It consolidated its authority in the late 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. At this time, a regional confederation called Buyeo was formed. In the Samguk yusa of the 13th century Wang Geon's name was listed as king. Buyeo was renamed Goryeo, and thus the name was adopted by Korea. Goryeo was a prosperous commercial and economic system, and was a centre for learning. Its inhabitants cultivated crops and raised livestock such as sheep and goats. They also created furs out of them too. They wrote poetry and dance-dramas with masks such as tallori and sandaenori and held an annual festival called Yeonggo in December. Goryeo’s economy was boosted through brisk trade, including with the Song Dynasty of China. Traders from Central Asia, Arabia, Southeast Asia and Japan came to Byeongnando the gateway to the capital city of Gaeseong. Silk and medicinal herbs were among the products they brought. Around 8000 BCE, the Koreans started to establish permanent settlements and began to cultivate cereal crops. They also invented pottery and polished stone tools and started organising themselves into clan societies. The Neolithic Age continued until the 12th century BC. Around this time, Gija, a Shang dynasty prince from China is believed to have introduced high culture to Korea. Until the 20th century many Koreans believed that Dangun and Gija gave Korea its people and their basic culture and their basic culture, respectively. Functions Korea's old development paradigm that stressed the importance of state-led capital accumulation and government intervention in industries and business, contributed to rapid economic growth that took it from being one of the world's poorest countries to the ranks of OECD countries within three decades. The system was plagued by moral hazards and outright corruption. It was therefore not sustainable in an economy characterized by liberalization, trade, and the process of democratization. The current crisis has revealed the weakness of the existing model, and it is expected that a new model will replace it. Chapters 3 and 4 explore the roots of Korea's government-business risk partnership and explain how the rise of business actors with an interest in the preservation of the system impeded it from making fundamental changes. These chapters, which are focused on corporate governance and financial resources allocation, offer a comprehensive examination of the causes of this crisis and suggest ways to proceed with reforms. Chapter 5 explores the possible paths that Korea's development paradigm evolution in the post-crisis period, exploring both legacies inherited from the past and the new trends triggered by the IT revolution and globalization. It also examines how these trends will impact Korea's social and political structures. The most important finding is that there are several emerging trends that are altering the nature of power and will affect the future of the country. Despite the fact that participation in politics in Korea is still extremely limited new forms of democracy are emerging which override political parties and challenge them, thereby transforming the country's democratic system. Another crucial finding is that the power of the Korean elite is not as powerful as it once was and that a large segment of society has a sense of being disconnected from the ruling class. This suggests the need for greater efforts at civic education and participation and new models of power sharing. Ultimately, the chapter concludes that the success or failure of Korea's new development paradigm will depend on how these new trends can be incorporated into a willingness to make hard decisions. Benefits South Korea is the world's ninth largest economy and the sixth fastest growing. It has a huge and growing middle class and a robust research and development base that is driving innovation. The government has also recently increased its investments in infrastructure projects, to support economic growth as well as encourage social equity. In 2008, the Lee Myung-bak administration announced five leading indicators in a bid to create a new development system with a focus on improvements and practicality. The administration made efforts to streamline government operations and privatize public corporations for greater efficiency, and overhaul the administrative regulations. Since the end of Cold War, South Korea pursues a plan of the integration of its economy with the rest and beyond the region. Its exports of advanced manufacturing technology and high-tech consumer electronics have become an important source of income. The government is also pushing Saemaeul Undong, which is a new movement of the community, to transform the country from a society which is primarily agricultural to one that is focused on manufacturing. The country also has an excellent standard of living, and provides many benefits for employees, such as maternity leave and job security. Employers are also required to purchase to accident insurance, which provides the cost of workplace-related illnesses or injuries. It is also typical for companies offer private medical insurance to cover illnesses that are not covered by National Health Insurance. South Korea is viewed as an example of success for many developing nations around the world. The global financial crisis of 1997 that swept across Asia, challenged this view. The crisis shattered the conventional wisdom about Asia’s miracle economies, and prompted an entirely new understanding of the role of government in regulating risky private activities. It appears that Korea's future is still uncertain in the following changes. On one hand, a new generation of leaders has 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 radical change. Advantages The reemergence and influence of creationists is a major obstacle for Korean science in its efforts to inform the public about evolution. While the majority of Koreans favor the teaching of evolution in schools, a small group of creationist groups, led by a microbiologist called Bun-Sam Lim who is the president of the Society for Textbook Revise (STR)--is advocating for its removal from textbooks. STR believes that teaching evolution encourages "atheist materialism" and creates an "unhopeful" worldview for students, which can cause them to lose faith in humanity. The causes of anti-evolutionist 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 groups, business interests, and other influential groups has also led to a growing distrust of the scientific community. In the final analysis the study's findings about the widespread vulnerability highlight the need for targeted policies that can reduce them before they occur. As Seoul continues to pursue its ambition of becoming a more cohesive urban environment, these insights provide a basis for a unified push for greater inclusivity in its policies. In the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, identifying vulnerable neighborhoods and occupants is essential to devise specific, empathetic policy measures to bolster their security and well-being. The disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on Jjokbangs for instance, is a sign of socio-economic inequality that 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 tackle the most pressing issues of the city. This requires a fundamental shift in the structure and power of institutional politics. The Blue House is able to mobilize a huge bureaucracy as well as influence the political power of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office and intelligence bureau, all of which do not have any oversight from the parliamentary bodies or independent inspection agencies. This gives the president a lot of power to dictate his vision to the rest of the nation. This recipe can lead stagnation and polarization of the country.
