Make up classes: What do you think? Is internet making our lives better? It has dark sides, certainly. Can we make it better?

 It is clear that the Internet makes our lives better, but it also has a dark side. We can get information quickly and easily because the Internet instantly informs us of what is happening to society. Therefore, we can get the information anyone wants, regardless of our status. Also, it is convenient to buy things on the internet without going directly to the store. The advantage is that various public opinion is formed through the Internet. We can hear the opinions of many people on one topic and I can also express my opinions, which can lead to beneficial communication.
 But that also has a dark side of the Internet. As everyone can express their opinions, there must be a reaction of criticism. More and more people are being hurt by people who are making unprovoked accusations and hate expressions, not logical and rational criticism. This is the downside of the Internet based on its anonymity. People who are hurt by this often make extreme choices. The Internet is like a double-edged sword. To solve this problem, the real-name system of the Internet should be introduced, and a filter function should be added to delete inappropriate comments on its own. These will make the dark side of the Internet any brighter.

    I feel the same way as you. I think the Internet has a lot more positive aspects, although there are negative aspects. The various problems caused by the Internet anonymous system should be fully recognized and tried to change by society. If we create a sound Internet culture through this process of legislation, we believe that the positive aspects of the Internet will be expanded.

How can we reduce the suicide rates in Korea?

How can we reduce the suicide rates in Korea? -       Since Korea is the number one suicide rate among OECD countries, many efforts have been made to lower it. Currently, the government is establishing a public-private cooperation system to prevent suicide based on the community. In addition, emergency medical institutions are working together to prevent suicide attempters from leading to secondary suicide, thereby strengthening the response to suicide attempts and preventing secondary spread. In addition to this, the government has made numerous efforts, including specialized suicide prevention projects for each life cycle and creating a culture of respect for suicide prevention life. But the first thing to change is people's perception of psychiatry. Depression, a major cause of suicide, is a disease, so it is natural to go to the hospital for treatment. However, many people in Korea think that going to a psychiatrist is strange. It is thought that it is difficult to reduce

Week 11-4. Did you find yourself changing your presentation when you met with different people? Male/females? Attractive/ nor attractive? Others?

I personally find myself changing my presentation with different people. I am much comfortable with females because the conversation topic is more in common and girls are often more compassionate than boys. I find myself more comfortable, funny and soft in front of girls. Also, I become very talkative and outgoing when I'm with people that I think are attractive. I feel desire to appeal myself when I see someone that I like, because naturally you can be more awkward and less confident when you're interested in that person but I don't want to hide myself.  I am usually relaxed and calm in person but attractive friends make me active, which can give me inner energy so I try to hang out with favorite people a lot.
