Euthanasia

There is a one guy whose job is a sailor when he was 25years old and dove into the sea, he had an accident and became generally paralysis since then he lay on the bed for 26 years. He had a lot of friends who cared about him, yet he wanted euthanasia. He sued for the Spanish government to have the right to die, but government didn’t permit his right. Finally he decided to commit suicide in 1998. Why did he decide to commit suicide? Because he thought that a life only lying on the bed was too far from dignity, right, and values of life. His name is Ramon Sampedro who has and unfulfilled desire to euthanasia, and decided to commit suicide. This is a real story from Spain. Who has right to choose? Some people want to live, but other people want to die because that is the only way to escape from pain. Every person has a right even if the right is death.

Don’t complain!

We are very accustomed to the passive way for studying because of university. Most people said that we should go to university to get a good job, and also that is a short cut to success in our life. I also strongly agree that we should go to good university for our future unless stereotype that the people who belong to good university are smart and clever is gone. When I was high school student in Korea, I thought that if I cannot go into great university, my future would be hard, so I should do my best to get into the good university. In my opinion, we should go to good university to get a great job for our dreams. Even those who have not decided what to do in their lives can determine their future career by getting into university. There are some people who have become very successful without graduating from a college. However, our society doesn’t allow people who don’t go to university to get a good job. Moreover, when we talk about university, we don’t say “go to university is option”, we say “we should” because of the social system. Besides, people who don’t go to university also feel depressed and a sense of alienation. We cannot complain about this system and stereotype. We should find a way to improve our ability so that we survive from competition.

"Seo Ta-Ji " his contribution of K-pop

     Seo-Ta-Ji is a very famous singer and song writer in Korea. There are many Korean know that he is a real musician in Korea. Before he and his group that name is Seo-Ta-Ji and Boys came out in a media, Korean music style was similar to Japan’s music that is “En-Ka”. When he and his group showed up, they changed Korean music style to rap and dance music. When he was 14 years-old, he started at music. He joined several armature rock groups. At the age of 17 years-old, he was picked by the rock group which name is Sinawi. At that time he decided to quit high school, because he just wanted to focus on his music. After he went out from the band, he started a dance group with dancers, Lee-Jun-O and Yang-Hyeon-Seok. The name is “Seo-TA-Ji and Boys”. Their first single, “I Know” in 1991, changed the basic music style in Korea. Even if many singer song writers who are very famous in Korea-pop evaluated their first music as that is lower level of music. Many people loved their music, and wanted to buy their first single. Whenever they released third single, they tried to show their new style’s music; for example, the first single is rap and dance, second and third single was heavy metal. Many professional song writers in Korea think that we cannot develop our K-pop, because of their new challenge. Now we call him the “President of Culture” in Korea. Because whenever he comes back into the media as a solo, he creates a culture of music and makes new things; for example his fashion, music; like a Michael Jackson in the USA. However, the reason that the people love him continually is his thought of fans. Even if he is super star in Korea, he always cares about his fans at his concert. He hasn’t trace for money and he just really like music. Therefore, we can call him “The president of culture” and “real musician”.

Is is possible to have a friendship between man and woman?

If somebody ask that “Can we be the just friend with girl? First, I would like to say “yes” because I also have a friend who is girl. Although our friendships have been almost 13 years, I have never felt love from her. We are just friend; the same as friends of boy, but many friends who is my friends of boy told me “how can you keep the relationship between me and my friends of girl.” There are three conditions to get the friendship between man and woman.

First, they need to have the charming point each other. Some people think that charming point is only about appearance. The other people think that the charming point is only about fiscal ability which is about money. If they think that my friends of boy or girl doesn’t have any charming points, it wouldn’t be friends each other because they would think just my friends who have same gender is the better than friends of girl.

Second condition is that they should have a prerequisite which “we are just friends.” If one of them think that “I think I like my friends of girl more than her”. When you start to think like that, the relationship between man and woman is going to be broken as a friend. Therefore, if you really want to be her or his just friend, don’t think like that. The last and most important condition is that we should have an open mind of his or her future boy or girl friend, and we should not interfere in his or her love; for example, “why did you go out with her or him. That girl or boy is terrible”. We can counsel their love as a man and woman. We really know that their lover’s mind than any other people because we have a same gender of their love. We shouldn’t judge his or her love, but we can give him or her advices, as a friend.

In my opinion, whoever, friend of boy or girl, both are just friend. Don’t think that “I cannot make a relationship with man and woman as just as a friend. Don’t have an affectation or prejudice that my friend is man or woman because they also one of our precious friends.
