Topic: what races do you think exist

Summary


Race is the concept of randomly dividing and classifying groups of people who are perceived to have differences, citing their physical, social, and cultural characteristics among humans. In general, it is easy to think that only external and biological characteristics such as skin color and genes are taken into account, but there are factors such as culture, traditional customs, and religion. This can be found especially in areas with a wide range of ethnic interracial interbreeding, such as Latin America, Central Asia, and India. The most widely used is the classification of white, black and yellow. The creation of this distinction stems from the fact that each nation distinguishes between a close group and a distant group according to its origin in the process of connecting the world into a single network since the 19th century, which is surprisingly recently established as the three major groups of so-called yellow/white/black people. 

Interesting


It's quite recent to divide into black, yellow, and white. It is only natural that globalization is recent. In the days when there was no exchange between countries, even this distinction did not exist. Therefore, it is quite a strange fact to distinguish it like this. 

Discussion
Besides the above three distinctions, is there any way to distinguish race? It is difficult to draw out more than three distinctions. I can see only those three races anywhere on Earth right now.

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.
