...Kim Dae-jung & Truth reconciliation South Korea’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established on December 1, 2005, during the presidency of Roh Moo-hyun. This governmental commission was set to investigate incidents in Korean history, all the way back from annexation of Korea by Japan in 1910, up to the election of Kim Young-Sam in 1993. South Korea has been subject to a period of military dictatorships, during which there was given little attention to truth-funding. Also, South Korea’s fight for democracy spans out on a long period of civil movements and demonstrations. They often led to uprisings, which were often repressed hard by authoritarian and military power. Demonstrations, like the Kwangju Uprising in 1980, were subject to murder, torture and other abuses of human right. These acts were often covered up and ignored by the government. However, the prosecution and sentencing of two former authoritarian rulers, Chun Doo-Hwan and Rho Tae-Woo in 1995, was a clear sign that times were changing and even successful coups can be punished. At the end of the 90s, laws for rectifying the past were established under the government of Kim Dae-Jung. The Truth & Reconciliation Commission would go stay active until 2010, when the conservative Lee Myung-Bak stopped the funding. What led to this sudden governmental interest in truth and reconciliation under the Kim Dae-Jung government? In this literature review we will look at the factors that instigated interest in...

...Summary Assignment Terrill Ray DeVry University ENGL 135 Summary Prewriting Theme: Family Topic: Children of Divorce Title: Consequences of parental divorce for child development. Hyun Sik Kim is likely against too much government influence on schools and feels that government control is detrimental. Intended audience: The American Sociological Review (ASR) publishes original (not previously published) works of interest to the discipline in general, new theoretical developments, results of qualitative or quantitative research that advance our understanding of fundamental social processes, and important methodological innovations. All areas of sociology are welcome. Emphasis is on exceptional quality and general interest. Writer’s background: Hyun Sik Kim is a PhD candidate in sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is currently working on a dissertation titled ‘‘The Dynamic Development of Cognitive Skills and Non-cognitive Traits in Childhood.’’ His scholarly interests include child development, statistical methods, demography, and educational inequality. Writer’s angle: This article examined the effects of parental divorce on several childhood developmental domains within three analytically distinct divorce stages: pre-, in-, and post-divorce. Part 1: The one-sentence summary Hyun Sik Kim (2011) To summarize, I found setbacks among children of divorce in math test scores during and after the experience of parental divorce (i.e., significant combined effects of...

...children who do not grow up with both biological parents at their side. Hyun Sik Kim (2011) believes that “compared to children with continuously married biological parents, children with divorced parents are disadvantaged regarding various life outcomes, including likelihood of dropping out high school, cognitive skills, psychosocial well-being, and social relations” (Consequences of Parental Divorce for Child Development p.1). There are various effects on cognitive skills and non-cognitive skills on children. Hyun Sik Kim has proposed a 3 stage model to examine the effect of divorce to the child’s psychological trait and its development on various areas. The three models were namely pre-divorce, in-divorce and post-divorce. This model was made to reach a certain understanding that other behavioral studies and articles cannot. This is to overcome its limitation and to have a better understanding in order to recognize some of the failures of the past analysis. The study’s reference was from the Early Childhood Longitudinal study – Kinder garden class 1998-1999 and kinder through 8th grade. The study shows that some of the children who are experiencing and after divorce had setbacks in math tests. There are negative effects at the in-divorce phase such as the poor performance regarding their interpersonal skills and some combined effects during in and post divorced periods. The Author, Hyun Sik Kim, published an article in June and was issued by the American Sociological...

...that my life would never go back to how it was in the past, and that I will have to find a way to conform to the norm of the situation I am set in. As time passed by, I got used to the SAS community and managed to adapt to the three cultural influences that I was receiving: American in school, Chinese out of school, Korean at home. Little by little, I opened myself to the people around me. Noticing the change in my attitude, my classmates approached me and asked for my name. Like a robot, I would reply, “My name is Jung Hyun Yoon.” No matter how many times I would say it, they asked again the very next day or say it with a weird pronunciation. I absolutely could not understand why in the world they cannot say it correctly! I would correct them every time, “Jung Hyun! Not Joong Hyeun! My name is Jung Hyun!” Of course, they failed to fix it. I asked my mom in frustration, “Mom, why can’t they pronounce my name correctly? It’s such a simple name.” “Jung Hyun, not everyone speaks the same way as we do.” “But it’s such a simple name!” Rising to first grade, I was separated from my...

The employees there must be paid at least once a month. Some companies do give a bonus of an extra salary but it is not required. There employment act may not require the workers to work more than eight hours or forty four hours a week (Bernhardt, 2010). When it comes to wages and work hours in Taiwan their employees and employers have to agree upon the wages. It is like a contract. The employees’ wages cannot be less than each jurisdiction. Singapore does not count. When it comes to the hours that they work depends on the jurisdiction and they hours are between 40-48 hours a week (Hyun, 2007). 1. The latest environmental legislation is called Environmental Impact Assessment Act. This includes more procedures for citizens as well as environmental interest group. Singapore level of environmental regulation is a lot better than it used to be. Because of its administration they have came a long way. As far as Taiwan goes they have a long way to go. 2.

...cases. President Bush believes the human embryo is understood and valued in terms of its potential to become a gumanbeing. In his words, “Like a snow flake, each of these embryos is unique, with the unique genetic potential of an individual human being”. By comparison, federal policy in the United States is more circumspect insofar as there is no particular attention to the potential of the developing human embryo. If the human embryo was deserving of legal protection on the basis of potentiality, then logically the federal government would have to regulate both the public and private spheres of research. At present, the federal government only regulates public funds for human embryo research, not the private sector (Baylis & Krahn). Insoon Hyun said in her article “ The bioethics of stem cell research and therapy” “An embryo which is four or five days old is not a human being yet, because it’s brain is nonfunctional and it’s heart...

...CARBON SEQUESTRATION AS A TOOL FOR CITY GREENING(A case study of Atunrase, a residential estate in metropolitan Lagos. ) *Williams, Fadera. A1, Adejumo, T.A2 1. Department of Architecture, Faculty of Environmental sciences, University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos, Nigeria. (faderawilliams@yahoo.com, +2347088772009.) 2. Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Faculty of Environmental sciences, University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos, Nigeria.(tadejumo@unilag.edu.ng, +2348034431439.) ABSTRACT Urban greening as a philosophy is a recent development in the Nigerian built environment. The dearth of green infrastructure in metropolitan Lagos is a typical example. This paper explores carbon sequestration as a tool for greening the urban areas with a view to creating sinks for emitted carbon generated by households in the Lagos metropolis. This study is underpinned by the green city concept. A random survey of household interviews were conducted within Atunrase estate, Gbagada, Lagos State. Domestic activities limited to the use of kerosene, P.M.S and butane (excluding influx of carbon emissions via vehicular sources or otherwise) were recorded and based on carbon emission coefficients for carbon emitting substances, the carbon content emitted by the use of these was calculated. The vegetation required to offset these carbon emissions generated was then estimated. The total amount of carbon generated within the estate is 176,904kg and it will be offset by planting trees, groundcover and shrubs...

...Miscommunication Amongst A Multicultural Workplace Tara Collins DeVry University Miscommunication Amongst A Multicultural Workplace In this situation an employee who seemingly has all the qualifications for the job in which she applied, was not given the position. Instead it was given to a newer employee whom had equal educational back ground, less experience but was said to be an “up and comer”. Was this a fair decision based solely on merit and professionalism? Or is there a question of cultural intolerance in which an employee was overlooked for a management position because she didn’t fit into an imaginary mold that this company has in place? There were two candidates for the position in question. The person that got the position was an Anglo male named Alex whom has a graduate’s degree and strong employee evaluations. The other candidate that was not selected was Maria, a women of Latino ancestry. Maria also has a graduate’s degree and brings with her more experience than Alex, however her employee reviews were not as good. Also, Maria has been counseled on her tardiness and absenteeism. These are all reasons why the company states they didn’t promote Maria. Another important fact is that none of the supervisors or people in the upper management positions are women or people of color. This is something that Maria feels responsible for her poor evaluations. In a corporation one would think that there would be more of an equal representation of diversity across...

...Essay Question Compare and Contrast Two theories of motivation. Suggest how a team leader might use these theories to motivate their team. Motivation according to Vroom (1964) is based within the individual , which influences one to complete a task. It is important for team leaders to motivate their team in order to 'improve productivity' (Hyun and Oh ,2011, P103) and ensure that employees enjoy their jobs. Many theories of motivation have been developed, which allows team leaders use in work to motivate their teams The theory's which will be compared and contrasted in this essay are:- Herzbergs two-factor theory and Adams equity theory. Herzbergs theory, has become widely used as well as an respectable theory for explaining motivation and job satisfaction( Oscar,2005). Whilst Adam theory of equity explains the concept of perception of equitability and inequitability experience by the individual which determines how motivation they are. (Al-Zawahreh and Al-Madi 2012) Herzbergs (Herzbergs 1968) two factor theory of motivation was developed from responses of workers through the use of an 'critical incident' interviewing technique , in comparison to the equity theory which was developed through the use of the laboratory. (French et al, 2011). Hence the methodology issues raised in both questions the reliability of the theory's. This being, for the former (two-factor theory) although gathered data from real life industries of work,socially desirable answer may...
