Cat Lady

It is an unbelievable incident taht a lady was kiiled by a 9 year-old boy with a brick. At fist blush, people are easily trapped into thinking that 'No way! a little boy would never intend that!'. But truth is that nobody knows. I might sound a little negtive, but let's face it. This bizarre world is full of crazy people beyond our imagination. So who can say for sure that he did not intend killing her. Mary Bell was only eleven when she killed one of her friends. 9 years boys know everything, what is worng or right, and what he should do or should not do. Gravity test? What is he? Stupid? He knows that his behavior is dangerous and must not be done unless he does not have thinking ability. Event if he did not intend it, it would be still wrong to not punish him for his young age. If the consequences  are  same the punishment should be same. If not, it is unfair and it would never prevent any young munderers like Mary Bell. We should show the world that  we never let any criminal off in the name of justice.

Paris' Terror

When I learned about the Paris attack by IS terrorists, I was shocked. I never expected that this kind of barbarism would happen in this real world. Of course, all kind of crimes, terrors or any other heinous things beyond our imagination can be happening right now even as I speak, but I thought not in the European countries. They just caught them off the guard. Now people believe the brutal terrorists are all surrounding us taking the form of angels. We do not know who they are or where they are. I often get frightened when in a movie theater. Whenever people come into it, I stare them and see if they have guns or whatever that could hurt me. I might be a little paranoid but this world keeps proving that anything can happen to anybody. It is a frightening world and something must be done now.

Government-issued textbook

Korea is a democcratic country. What is a democracy? It is a system of government in which people choose their rulers by voting for them in elections. Yes, great Ms.Park was elected by a narrow margin, even though I did not vote her. Does that constitute that she can do whatever she wants ignoring citizens' high voices? She is just doing that only for her own sake or I'd rather say her dead father's sake. She has many backups, Saenuri party members, but she should remeber that when she loses credit from the cetizens, she loses everything. I am not much a political person, so I didn't give a damn about( I am sorry if you are offended by that) Ms. Park, parties or what is going on in that world. However, when I saw her in the video totally enraged, I was assured that this is the very reason that she became a president and also she is a such a lousy person as a president. She did not even try to listen to our voices but pushed ahead what she wants. If she is a good president or medium president, she must come up with a solution to balance out different opinions, not getting blind with her own benefit.

Meok bang craze

Meok bang is definately all the craze recently. I myself  have not watched it before but I have heard it a lot. Actually we use the word 'Meok bang' in our daily lives as a coined word. For exmple, " Let's go Meok bang this weekend!" It means to eat a lot of food. It is not confiend to 'eating broadcast'. I believe this craze represents the Korean culture and social aspect. Koreans are too much into their looks, so they, in particular girls or women, are ruluctant to eat at night or even in the daytime. Instead they watch Meok bang broadcast and feel satisfied just like eating the food themselves. Also, some people watch the show to relieve their stress or just for fun. For me, it does not intrigue me at all because I cannot eat the food that the broadcaster is eating. Then what is the fun in it? And my pet peeve is someone who eats loudly. The sound gets me irritated and usually a Meok bang broadcaster east very loudly to get people to think that he is enjoying the food. But for me it is just irritating.
