Week 13-1_[is korea becoming multiethnic? why?]

I think so. First of all, the number of multicultural families in Korea itself is increasing. Multicultural families are international marriage families living in Korea, and one of their parents is a Korean-made family.

Korean society began to become a multicultural society in the mid- to late 1990s. This phenomenon is also caused by the active movement of the population between countries in line with globalization, but in Korea, international marriages are mainly conducted mainly by unmarried men in rural areas who have missed their marriageable age (Lee Hyun-joo, 2013). The increase in female marriage immigrants in our country has spread through three stages.

Statistics Korea's 2010 census showed that there were 386,977 multicultural families, and the "feminization of migration" in Asia also affected Korean society, with most multicultural families comprising marriages between Korean men and foreign women.

    I agree. The number of multicultural families has increased, and the number of foreigners in Korea has increased. I think these situations prove that Korea become multi-ethnic.

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.
