Continuing Racial Discrimination, Stop Asian Hate

-Increasing Asian Hate Crimes, Why? There are many hate crimes related to race around the world. COVID-19, which began in 2020, has caused great pain to the world.

Since 2020, when the COVID-19 epidemic began, hate crimes against Asians have continued to increase, but there is no clear solution. In addition, experts say that the ‘white supremacy’ movement that spread in the U.S. during former President Donald Trump's tenure also affected anti-A

The Way of Sustainable life and Minimalism

These days, minimalism has become a common way of life. People who become minimalists want to be refreshed by changing their physical environments so that they contain fewer possessions. In other words, they seek just a simple life. Living this lifestyle not only means not buying or owning things that you don’t need but also getting rid of unnecessary things. If minimalists need to buy something, they buy high-quality products that will last a long time, even if those goods are expensive. There are several reasons why minimalism is emerging in our lives. First, it’s a reaction to the fact that

#BOYCOTTJAPAN in Korea : Endless Conflict Between Nations

Since last July, you may have frequently seen #BOYCOTTJAPAN and #NOJAPAN on Korean social networks. The relationship between Korea and Japan has always been precarious because of their history. Koreans’ #BOYCOTTJAPAN started for almost the same reason, history. Last October, the Korean Supreme Court ordered a Japanese steel company who exploited Korean workers during the Japanese colonial period to pay each Korean victim of forced labor at that time a 100 million won in damages. The Japanese government lodged an appeal, but the Korean government ignored it. Last July, the Japanese Ministry of

Eco-essential Generation

After the EU announced a recycle strategy for plastic containers, the world is seriously concerned about waste and environmental problems. The environmental problems are fundamentally related to the consumerism society. Consumerism can be defined in a sentence: “I consume.

Reducing waste is important, but eco-friendly consumption is a fundamental way to improve the environment. Every year the world produce

Korea Is Still Alive

If foreigners ask Korean people what the saddest moment in Korean history is, they will all say the Japanese colonial era. Koreans were shorn of their freedom by Japan in 1910 and held hostage until 1945. Japan brutally ruled Korea during this period, and Korean people repeatedly tried to reclaim their nation. There were many attempts to overthrow the Japanese occupiers, but the most popular one was the ‘March 1 Movement’ which started March 1, 1919. The March 1 Movement played an important role in the efforts for the independence of Korea. As the result, March 1 is one of the most popular ho
