엄카, 시강, 띵작, 커엽다, and 댕댕이. How many new words do you know among these five? These words are newly-coined words which are particularly prevalent in teens and twentysomethings’ daily lives. ‘엄카’ and ‘시강’ mean ‘mother’s card’ and ‘catching one’s eyes’ respectively. They are abbreviations. 띵작 and 커엽다 are called 야민정음, which are pretty much the same as 명작(masterpiece) and 귀엽다(cute). | |

Consciously or unconsciously, we all want democracy as a primary principle of our political life and a form of government that are built on our general consent. Democracy is now not an optional choice but a mandatory one for those who want to live in a liberal, equal society. Indeed, democracy is always an amalgam of a strand of liberal philosophy, a fabric of equal polity, and a mode of democratic life, which has been fashioned and transformed throughout modern history. In particular, modern democracy as a historical entity, established alongside of the rise of nationalism and capitalism that collectively opened a new world of diversities, has enclosed a large multitude of heterogeneous individuals and their visions, desires, and practices in a certain geopolitical boundaries and social limits, thereby evincing its increasing yet unresolved complexities and contradictions. | |

In universities, unlike middle and high schools, you can spend time outside of class freely. A student can join a club or spend a day doing their hobbies. I am spending my own time meeting various people from all over the country through extra-curricular activities. However, every time I do them, I constantly feel that they are not making me a more useful person. | |

What kind of purpose do you have when you travel? People usually travel for a new beginning, a break, self-development, or a tour. To me, a trip is a sheet of drawing paper, and going abroad is a white sheet of drawing paper that will be filled with other places, emotions and people. | |

Korean students have thought the humanities are useless studies because the ratings of the students who will be employed as engineers have increased. However, many books of humanities, such as ‘A Leadership to Get One’s Mind’, ‘Humanities of Wise Investors’, ‘Reading Methods of Lee Dong-jin’, were released as bestsellers recently. Also, why have the humanities become popular on TV programs, seminars and in the publishing market? | |
