Private loans.

             It has been pretty a long time since the private loan came out to our society. Some of them are from Japanese capital, some of them are from Korean’s. With the allowance to bring these kinds of companies here, there are lots of problems coming out at the same time.

           Obviously, most of the poor people and the low credit people are the main customer’s for them. It is not big a deal that they are loan from these kinds of companies. The problems are brought when it comes to ridiculously high interests that they have to pay. Still, I hardly think that they are able to pay all the interests and the money that they borrowed. It is not reasonable interest at the first place, and it seems to me that the system of the private loan is not made for borrows to pay their debts. It is so high that they can’t even afford to their interests. Some of companies hires some gangsters to threat the people who has not made their deadline to pay their money. It is illegal in this country. However, it seems that people who have been threatened by gangsters cannot make a call for the police because they also illegally did not pay the money on time.

           The banks are the part of causes that they made their loan procedures so difficult that normal people would find it complicated and frustrated from borrowing money of major ones. I know there is an easier procedure for the low income citizens. This found out to be not enough for everybody who wants some loan. Maybe this could work when the government make more flexible but accurate for their payment.

Marriage in Korea

           I’m not sure when exactly the western marriage has been so popular to this country. But the fact is that it is most common style of marriage right now right here. Most of girls and women are dreaming fabulous and beautiful wedding since they are very young. It could be like their one of their list that they really pursue. However, there are always problems which get along with it.

           The current wedding style which is mostly western style, it is very commercial and the fast wedding with lots of people invited. Most of guests are asked to hand in their money in an envelope as a sign of congratulation. I think this is a way of celebrating the couple to be happy after the wedding. These are the most common thing in Korea. However, the cost of marriage is pushing the age of the marriage in Korea. Since the amount of money is very increasingly high, the couples cannot think it as a just simple ceremony in front of many people. The wedding became like a business where they have to make a profit through this thing to have more money after the wedding. They just concern more about the later life rather than having incredibly huge marriage.

           The cultural problem also blocks the rate of marriage as well. The mother and father in law are still important in Korea. And the problem also occurs from the level of each other’s job and their wealth. That is why the match makers are arising from the wedding business. The men and women want to find the people who are same worth as theirs. It could be very ridiculous to the other’s who believes in love. However, this is reality that still, they are looking for a man or a woman whom what they call ‘perfect man or woman’. More and more, women are pursuing a person who has great wealth, and men are mainly pursuing a woman with great appearance. I don’t think that I can get a clear solution for it. This is more like a problem with many complicated situation and their situation. What would be the thing that can solve this problem?

English Education in Korea

    There are many kinds of English Education in Korea. These are all cost lots of money and many parents are craving for their children to be fluent in English. I think the one of major cause is the private English education. To get great English skills and grades, many people are spending their money to the private academy.

Besides, English educations for very early age are increasingly high. There are many kindergartens for the children that specially teach them knowledge in only English. Maybe it is good for them to learn English, but the problem is they are learning their own languages as well. They are not perfect Korean speakers yet at their age. I think it is more important to learn their language before learn the others. They are forced to learn another language even before they know theirs. This could also lead them to stressful situation during the stressful education. I saw from the TV that shows a second grade boy was so stressed by forced education of English. He was so stressed that he could not control his thought and he speaks bad languages so often and could not understand why he have to suffer these kind of situation.

Other than these kinds of problems, recently, native English teacher’s problem came out to Korea. The problem was that Korea needed the native speakers to teach their children or adults, they did not have their evaluation or check to the native English speakers thoroughly. Actually, by these kinds of problems, some of the teachers have done their crimes and being on the news.

Even though they were morally ok, there are also problems with their ability to teach nonnative speakers. There are majors called ‘Education’. It means that they are learning how to educate people. I think it is a huge gap between just mathematics major and the education of mathematics. It isn’t just about how well they can do the math. It is the major key that they actually have to know how to teach their student math. So, it is a very complicated problem to have the natives checked their ability to bring student’s improved English level.
