The Overall Reading Journal of The Body

    Every boy has an experience with his friends of doing something that exceeds the limits of everyday lives. Usually, Boys start talking about something stupid or shocking that originally came up just for entertainment, but sooner or later, they start to realize that they are actually planning for such thing to happen. This is a quintessential element that makes the boys to do something crazy, which is very similar how the protagonists in the 'The Body' were put up to a situation of actually finding the body. And after this journey, they start to feel that they have become more of a man than a child.
    There were many things the story told us, but the most outstanding scene was when Chris tells Gordie about a teacher who took the milk money. Even though he gave the money back, he was betrayed by an adult and got all the blame for it. This is an impressive scene of Chris's coming-of-age that makes him form distrust against adults, including the repected ones. At this scene, I had a thought that one of the categories that differenciates children from adults could be whether or not he or she has 'trust' toward the society.
    Somebody asked me recently, "There must be something you did in your middle school that went over the limits, right?", which was kind of an odd question to give an answer to. The things I thought unbelievable at the time could be expressed as something that doesn't have much value inside it, just as Gordie said in the book, 'The most important things are the hardest things to say'.
    Well, as I thought about it carefully, I had such experiences all right, but it really didn't start with my friends. But it did influence my thoughts which became: 'If there is a will, there is a way'. If you want to do something against the rules, it is easy for you to work alone rather than hanging out with your friends from the first place. After having some know-hows, you can start telling your closest friends about the crazy things you did. In retrospect, I shouldn't have told them those things because I figured out that right after I graduated, I became a legend in the school.
    Of course, the insaneness of a plan was so insignificant compared to the incident that the protagonists go through in 'The Body'. However, for guys who are stuck in the dormitory everyday can start their adventure with small steps.

(Adding : One thing I managed to do after three years of experience was being able to crack inside the dormitory anytime I wanted, including the times when we were not supposed to enter. Second thing I managed to do was to skip almost every evening self-study times. From seven to nine, we were obliged to stay in the school for self-studying, which I rarely attended especially in my last year of middle school.)

Reading Journal on the first 30 pages of 'The Body'

    Stephen King is the author who has bright ideas that can make any readers entertaining. Shawshank Redemption was a great story to read, but the new story I recently started, 'The Body', really got my attention. Mainly because it was a Coming-of-Age story, or in German, Bildungsroman. From the definition of Merriam-Webster Dictionary (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bildungsroman), the term Bildungsroman means a novel about the moral and psychological growth of the main character. The origin of Bildungsroman comes from German, from Bildung, meaning education and Roman, meaning novel. Quintessential example of Bildungsroman are: ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ by J. D. Salinger, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee’, and of course, ‘The Body’ by Stephen King.
    Coming-of-Age story conveys its theme of 'Boyhood to Manhood' usually by changing the attitude or the way of speaking at the end of the story. So far, I haven't reached the point where such dramatic changes in the protagonists' psychological development happen. Yet, I could take a glimpse of the facts that are set for the author to face an eventual change. The main part of the story starts when Vern says, "You guys wanna go see a dead body?". The innocent idea that finding the body will make all four of them heros is a thing that  belong to kids, especially when they are kids who are about to enter junior high. This idea would most likely 'fall from innocence' as the subtitle of 'The Body' mentions. Because learning to respect a dead human being is one of the things that teenagers should go through during adolescence. Because adolescence is the time of setting one's view of values, every single experience the one go through could work as a vital part in forming one's thoughts.
    In this story, four main characters appear each from different backgrounds. Their roles in the group differs from another and each of them are expected to undergo different kinds of Coming-of-Age. The most expected coming-of-age is Gordon's coming of age. This is because I was deeply resonated by his story of a dead brother. Since he was considered an "Invisible Man' by his parents after his brother died, I believe that his behavior would be different from the other guys when they come to see the dead body. Overall, the first thirty pages of 'The Body' made me feel desirable of reading the book. I look forward how the story is going to show the theme of Coming-of-Age.

TED Video : Are you born to die?

    Historically, there have been many efforts made in searching for the origin of animal instincts. We are quite familiar that many scientists made diverse hypotheses and theories to seek the fundamental key that reveals the enigma of innate properties of animals, including those of humans. However, when we try to scrutinize where these extreme properties come from, our observations focus on how animals or, according to Richard Dawkins, genes struggle themselves to maintain their existence. But in this lecture, the speaker confirmed the existence of the gene that was set to age and eventually, kill animals. I believe the existance of such gene has a great value in the field of medical science and philosophy.
    In the field of medical science, gaining control over the 'aging gene' could be a innovative and laudable method to extend human's life span. As the speaker said, the research team has already made exemplary remarks on testing the chemicals that prevents the 'aging gene' from coming in effect. More and more the idea of longer life span becomes pragmatic, the expectation on the new medical technology The slow progress of aging not only increases the human life span, but also mitigates the severity of age-related diseases such as heart attacks, dementia etc. Of course, increased life span engenders more population. So this leaves the econmists to adequately set the changed labor market's supply-demand equilibrium. Depending on how stabilized the new equilibrium is going to work with the augmented population, it could make a dramtic increase to our social prosperity or it could lead to the all-time losing game of abject poverty.
    The field of philosophy also is anticipated to have a interesting debate toward this heresy. In the book 'Selfish Gene', Dawkins proposed the idea of the 'replicator', the initial molecule which first managed to reproduce itself and thus gained an advantage over other molecules within the primordial soup. Today, Dawkins postulates, the replicators are the genes within organisms, with each organism's body serving the purpose of a 'survival machine' for its genes. But the basic question that an acute person can ask is 'Why does the aging gene exist if human body is designed for the survival of the genes?'. There, I believe, we can come up with two theories. First, the aging gene might actually exist for animal's 'survival'. Second, the aging gene is an exception of the theory 'selfish gene'. This also leads to the debate dealing with the meaning of generations and death. So the existence of aging gene triggers diverse debates in the field of philosophy. (I would post another writing dealing with linked topics)
    To sum up, aging gene gives our society a huge influence not only for the existence itself, but when we try to understand and manipulate the gene for advanced application of medical science. Also, when humans actually achieve the ability of controling the aging gene, there would be negative effects just as many as the positive effect. Whether or not we could overcome the anticipated negative effects in the gene manipulation would eventually make the real-life application possible or not.

Review on the "The Death of a Salesman" and Other Writings. -

    Everybody has his or her innermost desires. Right at this moment, people might be wishing for a better job, a better exam score, or they could be just hoping for small things such as that tomorrow will be Sunday again. But it always strikes me that some desires are not meant to remain only as desires, for they can be poisonous, dreadful burdens for a person to carry with, especially when they are never achieved throughout one's life time.

    When you fail to grasp the opportunity that was right in front of you and realize that the train has departed long before, you start to live in your past so the future seems to have no meaning. Desires that used to make your heart beat with conviction, passion, and confidence suddenly leads you to self-accusation, tormenting and eventually, unacknowledged death. Therefore, the only way not to get dismissed from the society is to never lose your focus on your goal and be acute to opportunities.

    This might sound depressing and pessimistic for a ambitious high school student to say, but learning how to look at things squarely in this competitive world makes you to think clearly and work hard. This is the truth that any individual in this world has to face to become a mature part of this society. By realizing that opportunities that the world give you becomes more and more scarce, you start to struggle desperately to avoid yourself from accidentally falling on your knees.

    This book conveys a dark message. But its ability to resonate with its readers is outstanding.

Shawshank Redemption Reading Journal

The Second Bullet. - Metafiction -

1.

"You sure this is the only way?"
'No plan Bs here, man. You know that."
I laughed. After a few seconds, I sighed.

"Ha...you really did change." He smiled. "Yes. But you didn't change a bit. Hard a find a man like you in this battlefield."

Five minutes of deep silence passed after that. Blizzering wind started to freeze my hands. No matter how long I have crammed my hands inside the pocket, they froze instantly when the they were out of it. It was Carl who first broke the breath-taking silence.

"After thirty seconds I'll be in his view. Get ready. You must make no sound."
"Carl."
"......Yeah?"
"You sure this is going to work?"
"Ah, damn. Not again with your..."
I looked into his brown eyes.
"You reckon we still can go home?"
"......" He kept silent.
"Carl, I..."
"Wherever it  is, man, it is going to be whole lot better than this place."
He tried to make himself to talk calmly as possible.
"Just stop being a girl for a while, at least this minute."
"You can't abandon the Eagles like this." I said
He didn't answer. He only said briefly,
"Get ready."
'Fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven...'
"This war is going to end." I said.
He smiled softly. Maybe he was sneering.
'...two, one.'
"And I'm taking you home." I said.

2.

    Ten years have passed from that day. That day still stays as a nightmare for me and it is very hard to detach my mind from it...... Still, the basic concept of life. The fact that I am a living being makes me prone to the sickly dread of guilt. Carl was dead, but not quite. I know this is a disgusting thing to say but this I'm starting to think that it would have been better off if he just died instantlyHe was supposed to be buried in the national cemetary ten years ago. Thing  Standing in front of his hospital bed always makes me feel as if Carl will suddenly open his eyes. With a painful look on his face,(maybe I'm just imagining this) he is lying in his bed, silently. He can't say anything, really, but  I could hear him accusing me of what I have done to him. Everytime when I have the same nightmare, I found myself putting on my clothes getting ready to visit Carl. I had stay with him during that night, convincing him even in my dreams that my action was for his own good.
    But now, I didn't visit Carl to chit-chat again. When I start this business, lingering around one of those streets then I'll be lying beside him the next moment.

3.

    It has only been a few days that I have got the information about the guy who was supposed to be dead years ago. Right, the guy Carl and I tried to kill. He was one of the greatest snipers in the field at the time, just like I was. Luckily, he managed to live a little longer than I expected. Moreover, I found out that he is doing a drug business here in Boston, that prick.

Endless Cycle of Birth, Suffering, Death and Rebirth.

The first time I watched the movie 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring' was during my 9th grade Korean literature class. The movie was quiet, but was an effective way of conveying the theme the director focused on; the innate human condition of goodness and evil that repeats like a cycle throughout the whole mankind.
The first part of the movie, which is denoted as 'Spring', works as an introduction of the movie. The scene that draws the most attention to the audiene is when the grown-up monk punishes the child-monk for abusing the animals. Grown-up monk ties a rock on the back of the child-monk to make him learn his lesson by putting the child-monk in the animals' shoes.

Points of contention (ifs/ands/buts):

Education is Business.

Education is Business

     A famous educator with whom I'm personally acquainted once said; 'Our future now lies on the hands of two fields, Education and Economics'. Some people might not agree on this wholeheartedly, but I consider that it is not a coincidence that 'Investment' is the key-word that pierces through the cores of both fields. The pursuit of achieving the most desirable outcome serves as a common purpose for making investments. So unquestionably, it is common for people to adjust their ways of investing when the public throws doubts on the current method of utilizing the provided resources.
     As Economics is the field that concerns the monetary investments, Education is the field that concerns the investments made on the human capital. Therefore, we should acknowledge the criticisms targeted on public education because every reasonable doubt made by the public is considered to be an invaluable information in improving the current system. One of the distinctive comments made on the current public education system is Sir Ken Robinson's speech shared on TED.com. He points out, 'Human communities depend upon a diversity of talent not a singular conception of ability, and heart of our challenges is to reconstitute our sense of ability and of intelligence'. This inevitably leads him to criticize the current education system in which students are having trouble in realizing their potential creativity.
     Because there were many ideas that I commonly shared with him on public education, such as 'Creativity is important as literacy', I was surprised to find out the criticisms given on his speech by my peers. However, what startled me most was to observe the lack of 'Creativeness' on their criticisms. Rather than commenting the importance of the idea, for instance how his speech brought up the chronic disease widespread in our public education system, things people mostly fussed about was that they could not understand Robinson's definitions on 'Creativity' or 'Epiphany of general children's potentials' even though it is a widely-known concept in the public. Furthermore, some comments said Robinson should have proved that there is a hierarchy between subjects, such as Mathematics is valued over Arts and Music, even though it is a commonly accepted fact in the current public education system. I was Their writings were no more than the ways to show their ignorance and lack of cognition on the problem.
     Creativity is now a indispensable element which composes the modern human individual. Not only because realizing one's creative potentials helps him or her to find the job that is most suitable, but because creativity is what the current employers seek from the labor market. This means people need to achieve creative properties to become part of the 'Economically active population'. So Robinson's speech holds its significance also in the field of Economics because the current public education failing to produce creative individuals explains the current society with the ironic disequilibrium between 'Firms that want more employees' and 'People who need to be employed'
    

Victims of The System; Do You Exercise to Be Healthy?

    'I opened my eyes but I still had a high fever. My stomach was twitching as well. Skipping morning exercise that day seemed inevitable. Remembering that the school nurse doesn't deal with the morning exercise absence, I had no choice but to visit the dorm parent. To my surprise, he was not in the office. There was no way that I could prove that I was sick that day.

- Interview with an anonymous 16th waver -

    Stress is a dangerous thing to every highschool students in Korea, both physically and mentally. Their life is a series of uneasiness and anxiety, so the continuation of overwhelming stress could lead students to a serious illness as lots of scientific researches directly supports. It is a no wonder that a student who has a regular schedule with less stress has better academic achievements compared to his or her peers.

Morning exercise is one of the few things that KMLA students view with hatred. Not only because they have to get up early, but because of the stress they have to burden when they are sent to the student court in case they are absent or late for the exercise. And if you have lived in KMLA for long, you would learn the school's conservative manners which students' explanations and excuses are rarely accepted.

    Every KMLA student has to attend the morning exercise after they wake up around 6 a.m. The school wants to educate potential global leaders who could voluntarily develop physical strength because managing one's health to its highest conditions is an important ability of a leader, especially considering the long-term. But the students must rethink about the necessity of the morning exercise in order not to get brainwashed by the school. Do we actually improve our health conditions by the involuntary morning exercise which accepts no excuses? Is this a reasonable and a necessary part of the so called 'school tradition' which doesn't have the slightest chance of degrading the students' physical stability? A common, and unhesitant answer to this fundamental question is a NO. And this brings the major problem of morning exercise to the surface.

    Daily Exercise is always recommended to people of all ages. But we still have doubts whether we should still recommend it to students who are suffering from lack of sleep, and especially to the students who are sick that day. Facing the situations similar to the interview above, students feel desperate to skip the morning exercise. The body instinctively knows that exercising beyond its health conditions can seriously damage its normal functioning. But certain situations that make students to torture their body questions the school's attempt of its way of helping students to gain physical strength.

    People might point out that this situation can be improved by slightly adjusting the system. But there is a problem if such change was never made for about 10 years ever since the morning exercise started. A systematic problem of morning exercise presents itself when a sick student needs to get a skip-document. Just like from the interview at the beginning, the dorm parent and the school nurse both don’t try to protect the innocent students who are sick enough for the inevitable absence. If there was at least a single attempt to improve the current physical education, actively by the people who is in charge of the system, there would have been less people questioning the current way of morning exercise.

    But the most important reason that morning exercise is in doubt is because it has a bad influence on the student's health. CheongShim International Academy (CSIA) is a school that got rid of the morning exercise after the one year of its progress. The main reason that CSIA abolished the morning exercise was because the morning exercise affects students throughout their daily acts. So they changed the morning exercise system into a short time for body-stretching and massaging each others' shoulders and arms, and made its Tae-kkon-do class to be included in its regular after-noon course for students' concentration on the class. KMLA must realize that if the school administration doesn't acknowledge the possibility of such adaptations, it is hard for its students to actively cooperate on the things that the school is trying to make progress.

    But rather finding the alternatives, the school is trying to make its morning exercise more demanding after the incident that several female students fell down during the morning assembly period. The principal and the P.E. teachers say that the lack of fundamental physical strength is the reason that the girls have lost consciousness. Considering that no one in the history of CSIA has fallen during the morning assembly, it is normal for the KMLA students to question whether it is only the problem of physical strength that such situation happened. Does the school want more students to lose consciousness by Monday morning sickness? If not, it should reconsider the continuation of its unnecessary, health-consuming morning exercising period.

As a Writer.

Good Writing is an effective way of conveying one's thoughts and emotions in a very powerful, charimatic method. It is a collaboration of diverse strategies such as locating the right diction, choosing the adequate tone, and revising the sentence & paragraph strucutre. Such stretegic arrangement of words differs from person to person and this lets the readers to obeserve the individual features that the writing contains. As for me, my writings were never satisfactory. Whether the problem is related with the contents, grammar or vocabularies, they always left me the room for more improvement
My surrounding environment keep pushies me to become a better writer, and reach the highest of the given standards. Since Middle school and up till now, luckily I had an opportunity to study with the most gifted students all over Korea. When it came to knowledge and skills, there was always at least one friend who had an admiring talent that I constantly wanted to catch up. Writing skills was a no exception. The first time I realized that I had to improve on my writing was during peer editing time at school. In classes or during summer writing camps, I compared my writings with those of my friends and found many things that I had to keep in mind. Grammar, Style, Structure or choosing the right diction; these are the facts that still need lots of improvements and I’m willing to put my best effort on advancing my writing skills as it is my long-term goal.

To introduce my writing style in one word, it would be ‘Scholar-like’ or ‘Academic’. To help you understand what this means, I chose my term paper as the first writing to be posted. As you can see, it is not a kind paper which is filled with wordy expressions but words and sentences that are straight to the point. Common thing about this type of writers is that their writings are comparably harder to read than the others. Also, the writers usually have the knowledge beyond what it appears in their writing. This means I put more time on my writings compared to my peers, which might be serious problem in the future because fast organization of your thoughts is also a requirement to become a good writer. But as for now, I believe that investing my time on my writings is very essential. “Practice makes perfect” is a cliché that every writer has to keep in mind especially the type of writers such as myself. Hard work and strict time-scheduling is the only way that I can enhance my level of writing.

A piece of writing is one of the easiest ways of showing who you are. It is very similar to your facial expressions since they both are not very easy to hide. Whether you have intended or not, your ideologies, sense of values or political stance all dissolves into one, creating a group of ideas that represents yourself. Indubitably, this was the reason why I became so interested on advancing my writing. Better writing meant that the reader can grasp a clear and strong impression of me which can lead to more willing consents toward my writing.

 But simple concurrence of opinions and feelings is not the only thing that I pursue in my writing. Gaining people’s trust by my writing is my ultimate goal. It would be great to have the ability to make other people convinced which could, in the near future, provide me the opportunity to share opinions about serious, yet interesting topics with many others.

Observation on Health Inequality in Korea

– Income inequality decreases society’s overall healthcare

‘From cradle to Grave’

This phrase is usually known as the description of the England’s social security policy since World War II. Sadly, this phrase is recently used in Korea to describe the chronic inequality in healthcare. From newborns to elders, unequal health situations depending on one’s income, a.k.a. health inequality, is a serious fact, but is dealt with unfortunately as a surreptitious matter to be manipulated by the social authorities for the maintenance of political power.

What is the status of Korea’s current health inequality? There are two factors we have to consider to answer this question; how much value does the Korean Government put on the importance of the health inequality agenda and how seriously does the income inequality in Korea hurt its citizen. The Korean Government has addressed its general healthcare plan by 2003 and 2007 and is in the process of making its 3^rd healthcare plan. According to the first version of the 3^rd plan which was announced last November, one of the main goals of the general healthcare plan was to achieve health equality. This goal was previously set in the plan of 2007, but none of these plans had specific policies which could actually enhance public health equality. Below are specific evidences that shows the chronic inequality on health and income among Korean citizens.

1.    Income inequality indicators

Income index – shows the gradual progress of Korea’s income inequality

          (Korea. Domestic Household's economic Tendencies. , 2010./)

The graph below is the ratio between the total incomes sum of the 20% of the Korean population who earn highest incomes with the 20% of the Korean population who earn lowest incomes. As you could see, it is getting higher even when the tax(the second graph) and the social welfare system(the third graph) is considered.

(Korea. Domestic Household's economic Tendencies. , 2010./)

2.     Report of Professor Son, MeeAh in Kangwon University – Correlation between income inequality and cancer rate. This proves that if income is low, the cancer rate tends to increase. Also the report shows that the people who die because of cancer has mostly low income. (MeeAh, Son. "Correlation between income inequality and cancer rate." Kangwon University)

3.     Correlation between Income – obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes & Academic background - obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes - Total of 8 graphs

(YeongJeon, Shin. "2009 report of solving health inequality." 2009)

This graph directly shows that income inequality is a serious issue in Korea.

Investigating for the solution on Health inequality #1

Observing the problems of the Korean Government’s welfare and healthcare system

- Need for the change in government policy

Report of English Government in 2000 “NHS cancer plan” analyzed that the main factor causing cancer is smoking and one’s food preference which are closely related to one’s social and economical background. This recommends that Korea has to stop people from smoking by solutions such as increasing the tax on cigarettes. Also Korean government could start a campaign to stop people from eating unhealthy foods. By forcing the firms to exactly state which ingredients are used in the products they sell, the consumers could be protected from the danger of eating unhealthy foods. (England. Department of Healthcare. NHS cancer plan. , 2000)

Investigating for the solution on Health inequality #2

Homeostatic means of Noblesse-Oblige on Health Welfare System

– Income inequality attacks the health of the topmost income level

The report of Nottingham University showed that adequate redistribution enhances the healthcare of the topmost income level. “Spirit Level: Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger” studied on the relation between income distribution and citizen’s health conditions.

(Richard, Wilkinson. Spirit Level: Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger

The expected life span of a U.S citizen is 77.3 years. U.S. has the highest GDP per capita, but the expected life span is smaller than Costa Rica, which only has the 1/5 of the GDP per capita of U.S. The analysis of the Dr. Wilkinson is this. ‘As countries achieve higher incomes and standard of living, the direct relation of economic development and expected life span becomes unclear. Moreover, the correlation of the two factors eventually disappears as the GDP reaches the $20,000”. The main concern here is that Korea is also in the group that reached $20,000 GDP. Which shows that redistribution helps to increase the life span of the citizens.

Conclusion : Coming up with a solution on Health Inequality

The adequate mix between Government policy and voluntary redistribution of the wealth is recommended. Both policies can give positive results in curing the health inequality. The government should let the citizens, especially the wealthy ones, that redistribution is the way of maintaining the health of the citizens.
