College education should be free for all Korean citizens in Korea.

College in Korea should be free for all Korean citizens.
Korea is not a poor country. However, there are still a lot of students who really want to keep studying but simply cannot afford to it. Education background is an important skill when looking for a job especially in Korea. Education developed our country after Korean War. We should take a lesson from the past. 5 arguments I can present:

1. Students will make our future. Educated human resources will give us better life. There are still many students who cannot afford to go to a college. Among them there might be brilliant students who can actually change or develop our country.
2. Korea does not have natural resources than other countries. We cannot rely on other kinds of things but human resources.
3. College’s goal is to make them role well as individuals in a society, so the money should come from the society.
4. World is changing. 5 countries in Europe already implemented this policy and America and Japan are considering it.
5. Students are suffering from debts. It is one of the serious social problems nowadays. It causes a lot of bad things.

I want to say 3 words about this.

First economy,  workers with college degrees work more productively than others without college degrees. Educated workers are able to more efficiently carry out tasks. And economically successful countries have higher educated workers than developing countries. Countries with a greater portion of their population attending colleges see faster economic growth than countries with less-educated workers. Educations is a kind of training. As we all know well trained people make good things. We are having economic depression now and education is the key for it.

Second human right, education is one of the human rights. Economic power cannot influence human right. No matter how much money we have, we can get high level education. A nation can do it for its citizens.

Third solidarity, we are in a community, a nation. some of the high school graduates cannot go to college because of money. They have passion, potential and talent. We should give them chances to think about their dreams or what they want to study. It will change our country and the world. It will make more positive effects than negative.

In the future we can see better country. All the beneficial policies had oppositions but ultimately it is found out that those are right. We can just a little bit more amount of tax. If we can change our country and give our kids better world, are you going to refuse it because of just 4% of tax raise?

So, who will pay for it? we will pay tax for it. After the students graduate, they will pay back to us. We will be old someday, who will pay tax for us? they will pay for us.
Do you think we will waste money? why do you pay tax for the other things that you even don't know what those are. Do you think it is unfair? then why do you pay tax for the elderly now. the elderly are important but youngsters' dreams are more important.

Gender discussion questions !!

A) If I have children, will I treat my sons differently from my daughters?

If I have children, I would treat my sons and daughters differently. First of all when I have my own family I want to have only one daughter. However I am not going to be able to control this of course. I want to treat a girl more carefully because she is weaker than a son physically and it is more likely to put her in some dangerous situations. For example, playing alone in the play ground of traveling abroad alone, to those kinds of things I want to oppose. I would hate my daughters to be in danger. However if I have a boy, I would give him freedom. As my parents have done to me, I will make him stand on his own feet. That is how I live and good for me. Through this way I got my independence and confidence so I got to love my life. I will treat a daughter based on this as well but as I said, I think I would be more careful of the dangers. Maybe because I love her.


B) If I had the option of choosing my gender next time, which would I choose? why?

If I could be reborn and choose my gender, I would choose male. Most importantly I am satisfied with my life now and I think societies nowadays are better for men. Plus it is safer for men than women. The gender rate of criminals contains more male than female and the number of crime against women are increasing. I really like to do something alone such as living alone, traveling alone and eating alone. However for women those things are not safe. Even they cannot go out at midnight. Lastly, if I were a woman, I would be tired everyday. Women spend time and money on their appearance for themselves or others. I do not really care about my clothes. Living like woman would make me tired.
