Historically, who do you think tried to exert himself the most to abolish slavery? Maybe your immediate answer to it will be Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of America, who did his best to abolish slavery in the U.S.A. However, there was another person who fought against slavery abolition. He was William Wiberforce, an Assemblyman of the British Parliament in the 18th Century, and he tried to abolish slavery for twenty years. Many people were impressed by his devotion and called him ‘British conscience.’The British Empire in the 18th Century could obtain one third of its national income th

All countries have scary ghosts like Romanian vampires, Egyptian mummies, and Chinese gangsi, which are moving dead like zombies. Korean ghosts also have unique features and characteristics.

I was glad to find more good reading in the Gazette, and now I am one of those who looks forward to the next issue. It takes a lot of time for me to read the whole magazine and sometimes I pause, but considering the time reporters devote to articles, the time to read them is very short. I think it is a good space that allows communication between foreigners and students who enjoy English. By the way, I have one question. How often do you release the magazine?It is very exciting to give my opinion to the magazine’s makers. I just want to say one quick point instead of the usual thanks. It is ab
On October 6, I took a train to Suncheon. 30 minutes later, I arrived at Cheongdo Station. After leaving the station, I got on a bus and 20 minutes later saw a sign that said “Wine Tunnel 700m.” I got off the bus at the bus stop and walked towards the tunnel. Finding the tunnel was very easy because I just had to walk straight. I felt cool when I entered the tunnel because it has an average temperature of 14 - 16℃ with a humidity of 60 - 70%. The wine is aged in these conditions. I think summer is the best time to visit the tunnel to escape from the heat.The Wine Tunnel is a storehouse for win

I must thank you for your hard work which helps me reduce my boring time. I am a new student from China and came to Korea for my graduate study. I have been here for about only ten days. This is the first time I have come to an unfamiliar country, far away from my parents, friends, and hometown. And what is more I still cannot speak Korean, so I am blind, deaf, and dumb. Except with Chinese, I cannot with communicate others. I know nothing about this city and this university. How lucky I am to have found this magazine. It is very useful for me because it introduces a lot of information about t

The 474th Thursday Evening Philosophy Seminar entitled “Discourse,” held on April 5 in room 354 of Youngam Hall, was the first of four special discourse lectures. The next three will be held on April 12, 26, and May 3. “Discourse” is a very hot topic, as universities now incorporate tests for logical writing in their entrance exams. Special guests will be invited for these lectures. The first discourse lecture focused on the very urgent demand for reading education and how philosophy educators cope with that demand.
