Reflections on "Climate change"

It's almost mid-December, but the weather is unbelievably warm compared to before.  I like it that it's not too cold, but at the same time I'm worried about the world's climate change. The main reason of this "warm" weather is because of the global warming, which we, humans, cause the Earth to get hotter by our activities. There have been many international talks to discuss protecting the world's environment and one of them was held in Paris last week, "COP21". It aimed to curb global warming to less than 2C (3.6F) by the end of the century. We all should put our efforts to protect our planet.

Reflections on "Stress" - How do you usually cope with stress?

 How do you usually cope with stress?

Since I love to travel, I try to go abroad during vacation when I have so extra classes. For me traveling itself refreshes and gives me a lot of energy to see my life in a better way. Also, it makes me realize and be thankful of what I have now. I'd like to see and experience different cultures and people as much as I can. =)

reflections on "euthanasia"

Euthanasia is the practice of ending life intentionally. I have thought of this topic several times in my life during some classes, and whenever I think of it, it's a very difficult question to answer.  However, if I have to take one side, I'm against euthanasia. I think human don't have a right to decide when to die. Rather, we have a right to care for and preserve life. The word "mercy killing" sounds very scary to me, and I don't think killing itself has a 'mercy' in it.

Reflections on "meaningful lives".

Almost every day we hear news about people worldwide who dedicate their lives or donate money or do something  good to make a better world. Yesterday I heard the news that the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, vowed to donate 99% of Facebook shares for charity. I think living your life meaningful is something like this. I don't mean that we should donate money to society, but giving a hand to people who need help will be a great donation for everyone.

Reflections on Korean historical movies.

Why do Korean people like historical movie?

I go to a theater to watch Korean movies because I'd like to see how the movie portrays history. History never changes, but it is interesting to see how it is interpreted in different ways. Since we didn't live in those days, watching Korean historical movies is fun and educational as well.

Reflections on "Ageing".

Ageing means getting old. When I was in my 20s or younger, I was afraid of turning to 30s. At the age of 29 was one of the hardest times in my life with many thoughts and worries. I was chased by something I didn't know. I guess I was just afraid of being an adult. However, after I turned to 30, I don't feel that way. I know the age is just a number, even though age, the number, affects a lot in life many ways.   

Reflections on "Beauty"

What is true beauty?

Our society put so much pressure on our looks that we all care a lot about how we look. Even if there is a famous saying "Don't judge the book by its cover.", but does it work? We place a lot of importance on the first impression. Some people have difficult times in getting jobs because of their look. People's opinion towards plastic surgery also have changed a lot in a positive way that it is a good thing because it will give you better self-image and confidence. But is it always working in this way? Some people are never be pleased with themselves. Find your beauty inside yourself. Others will see it if you are truly love yourself.
