Topic: how many foreigners live in Korea, where are they from

Summary


A foreigner means a person who does not have the nationality of a country in which he/she resides or stays, and his/her legal status is, in principle, the same as the people of that country, but is restricted from legal rights related to suffrage, mining ownership, immigration, etc. According to Korean national statistics, there are currently about 2.3 million foreigners living in Korea. China, Thailand, Vietnam, the United States, Uzbekistan, Japan, Indonesia, Nepal, the Philippines, Taiwan, Mongolia, Kazashtan, Canada and Russia are mainly residing there. 

Interesting


It is surprising that foreigners usually live in cities. The reason is that people's discrimination decreases as they are in cities, and discrimination against foreigners increases as they become more rural. And because most of the foreigners came for jobs, job-rich cities have an advantage. 

Discussion
What is the difference between foreigners and Koreans? If there are more foreigners than Koreans, can we call Korea? What is certain is that Korea is not yet tolerant of foreigners. So is it better to keep this going?

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 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.
