week2-2 Why study history?

There are many reasons why should we study history. First, we can understand other cultures. History programmes address questions such as “Why are other cultures different from ours?” or “Why are some cultures antagonistic, whereas others are not?”. By studying the past, we will learn more about what makes populations tick the way they do.
Second, it can Increase our understanding of national identities and societies. as a we will look into how nations were formed by an understanding of past and a common identity. In addition, it makes societies better to learn from the past.
Third, we can understand the changes in world easily. History is the study of change and the world is constantly changing, so understanding the role of change in society helps us interpret the world in its current state. History provides us with a firm grasp of why things change, the mechanisms driving change and its significance.

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.

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.

Color pink is associated with girls. Why? -       As a child, girls prefer pink and boys prefer blue. If you go to the mart and go to the toy corner, you can see that the toys are sorted by gender. Girls 'toys are usually pink, while boys' toys are blue. Even if you don't want to give your kids a preference for color when they're young, considering that girls liked pink, the color they prefer as a child seems to be innate. In fact, the history of pink becoming the color of women is short. In the Rococo period of the 18th century, a woman-centered culture flourished, and ladies were said to prefer pink clothes, furniture, and dishes. Moreover, it is said that jewelry, stockings, high heels, ribbons and lace, which are now represented as feminine, were used by men in the West before the 19th century to show off their power. However, since the late 19th century, there has been a widespread perception that fancy decoration is done by inferior downstream men. From this
