Week 9(Extra) How can we reduce the suicide rates in Korea?

 How can we reduce the suicide rates in Korea?
I think one of the biggest reasons for the constant suicide phenomenon in Korea is that it is difficult to live properly in society. There are so many demands from society and they are having a hard time getting a job, so people who are stressed out in this area often choose to commit suicide. In addition, they are forced to make extreme decisions when they are in a difficult situation, such as being too poor economically or being pressed for debt. However, there is no way we can reduce this suicide rate. Making a better society, helping each other and giving to those in need is the best way for me as a student. However, if the government tries to present policies or solutions for the people in difficult situations at the national level, I think there will certainly be a big change in the suicide rate.

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.

Social Inequality

1. Summary -       Social inequality occurs when resources in a given society are generally unevenly distributed through allocation norms, leading to certain patterns along the lines of people in socially defined categories. It is the discriminatory preference for access to social goods in society caused by power, religion, relatives, fame, race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation and class. Social inequality generally means a lack of equality of outcomes, but can be conceptualized in terms of a lack of equal access to opportunities. The five systems or types of social inequality are wealth inequality, treatment and accountability inequality, political inequality, life inequality, and member inequality. Social stratification refers to the hierarchical arrangement of society on social class, wealth and political influence. There are many socially defined characteristics of an individual that contribute to social status, equality or inequality within society. Sex as social ine
