Evolution Korea
South Korea's democratic system is prone to populist tendencies. It's still better than was expected.
The country is in search of an innovative development paradigm. The Confucian culture, which emphasizes respect for ancestors and as and gender-specific family relationships, continues to influence the society. However, there are signs that a secularist culture is gaining ground.
Origins
In prehistoric times, the ancestors to modern Koreans were able to survive by hunting and gathering wild foods. Around 10,000 years ago, they began to grow crops including millet and beans. They also raised livestock and produced furs. They established tribal states in Manchuria, and then on the Korean peninsula. They also developed a metallurgy industry, producing iron tools and bronze. They traded with other states and introduced celadon paper making, block printing, art styles and writing to Japan.
Gojoseon was established in 2333 BCE on the southern peninsula. The state adopted Chinese culture which included Confucian Philosophy and Buddhism. During this time, the people of Buyeo joined Gojoseon. Gojoseon had a hierarchical structure in which a monarch and top officials were drawn from the landed aristocracy whereas the majority of the population was peasants. The state extracted taxes from these citizens, and sometimes required them to join the army or work on government projects such as building fortifications.
Onjo the prince of Goguryeo who was also the son of Jumong, the founder of Goguryeo established the state of Baekje at the close of the time. The new kingdom grew into the southwest of the peninsula, and was at war against the Goguryeo commanderies and China's in the area. Baekje adopted Confucian ideas in its state beliefs system in 1390 CE, and established the male-centric notion of filiopiety a doctrine. Under the guise of filiopiety fathers were accountable to their families and they must be revered and obeyed by all, including their grandchildren and children.
Goryeo, a country that ruled from 918 until 1392 CE and gave the world the Hangul Alphabet based on the shapes created by the mouth when pronouncing. This greatly improved communication between people and led to an explosion in the writing of Buddhist texts. Woodblock printing and movable metal type were also refined. In 1145 CE, the Samguk Sagi or "History of the Three Kingdoms" was first recorded.
Development in Korea
The Korean peninsula was inhabited from Neolithic times until. Early evidence of human settlements is evident in the form cist graves that were lined with stone, and decorated with valuable items like amazonite jewelry being buried alongside the dead. Megalithic structures, referred to as dolmens, constructed from huge single stones, are widespread throughout the country.
Gojoseon became the first political state to be recognized during the first half of the 1st millennium BCE. After that, the peninsula was ruled by various states in the Three Kingdoms period (57 BCbetween 635 and 57 BC CE) including Baekje Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. The northern portion of the peninsula was occupied for a time by the Balhae Kingdom which historians do not believe to be a real Korean state.
Following the Three Kingdoms arose the Proto-Three Kingdoms Period, also known as the Several States Period. Among them, Baekje was the most powerful of them all, but its dynasty ended by the fall of Goguryeo in 676 CE, leaving Baekje with its southern territories of Manchuria and the western region surrounding the Hwanghae Bay, while eastern Buyeo and the Gaya confederacy flourished for a short time.
The Unified Silla Kingdom then emerged and the three kingdoms began to cooperate to expand their territories. In the final phase, Silla, with significant Chinese aid, conquered the other states and unified the peninsula in 935 CE.
As Korea enters a post-crisis era, its development paradigm seems to be in flux. The people who are awed by the enormous cost of the old systems advocate a comprehensive program of liberalization of labor, capital and product markets. On the other hand the supporters of the old system attempt to protect it by promoting nationalist sentiments, as well as by inflating fears about potential job losses.
The academic and policy analysts remain sharply divided on the extent to which these two developments are driving Koreas development towards a new model of economic governance. This article assesses developments to date, by looking at five phases of Korea's political development: democratic illiberalism (1945-60), democratic authoritarianism (1961-72) authoritarian exceptionalism (1972-87) democratic paternalism (1987-2001) and participatory democracy (2002 to present). This article also identifies key elements that are the driving force behind these developments.
Creationism in Korea
In South Korea, 26 percent of the population is Christian. The creationists have been successful in promoting their beliefs to this population. A survey in 2009 found that nearly one third of respondents do not believe in the theory of evolution. Of the respondents, 41% stated that there was not enough scientific evidence to support evolution 39% claimed that the theory did not align with their beliefs; and 17% said it was difficult to comprehend. This level of disbelief is comparable to that of the United States where a similar number do not believe that humans evolved from less advanced types of life.
In the past, the majority of the anti-evolution movements in Korea was focused on teaching college students and leading them to Christ. In 1980 an all-day creation science seminar was held in Seoul during the World Evangelization Crusade. Drs. Henry Morris and Duane Gish of ICR as the keynote speakers. This event attracted a huge number of pastors, professors, church leaders, and scientists.
The success of this event resulted in the establishment of the Korea Association of Creation Research (KACR) on January 31, 1981. The inauguration event was widely reported in national newspapers, such as The Korea Times and Chosun Ilbo and attracted a lot of attention.
KACR started publishing a newsletter called CREATION. In it, the organization published its own activities and published articles about scientific evidence for creationism. 에볼루션 슬롯게임 Evolution translated several slides and film strips from ICR, as well as a few books on creationism that were published outside of Korea. KACR members gave lectures in churches and universities throughout the country.
One example of a KACR success story occurred at the KAIST university in Seoul. Students at the KAIST university in Seoul were so keen on the concept of creationism that they raised funds and received support to build an enlightened museum on campus.
In addition to its work, KACR has published a bimonthly magazine called CREATION. This magazine covers topics in the field of creation science. It also sponsored a series lectures by ICR staff. It also has branches in local offices that give talks and seminars to schoolchildren and other community groups.
The evolution of South Korea
In the latter half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Korea moved toward a Westernised lifestyle. The traditional Korean dress, the hanbok, was replaced with miniskirts, as well as other fashion elements from abroad. The traditional Korean music was also replaced by jazz and rock & roll. During this time the famous samulnori or masked dance-dramas, became popular with the general public. These dramatic pieces were performed to the accompaniment of shaman drums as well as various musical instruments.
Korea's new development model is being created in the wake of the economic crisis. The new regime's main challenge lies in the proper balance between state-led economic policies and market-based ones. It also requires changing incentives, monitoring, or disciplining systems that have been a part of the system prior the crisis. These issues are addressed in Chapters 3 & 4.
Established by Onjo, prince of Goguryeo and the third son of Jumong, Baekje was established in the middle of the Hangang River, those from Buyeo and other areas, and migrants from northern China. Baekje, a major regional power in the early 4th century expanded its territory to Mahan in north and Jeollanam-do south. Consequently, it came into frequent confrontation with Goguryeo and the Chinese commanders along the border.
The decline of Silla in the late 8th and 9th centuries allowed powerful local factions to emerge. Gungye was a nobleman from Later Baekje who established a kingdom in Songak with Songak as its capital. He was the ruler of a large portion of the present-day Jeolla province and Chungcheong. Later, he relocated the capital to Wansanju and became a rival of Goguryeo.
His rule was however short-lived. Wang Geon, a powerful local leader who defeated Gungye in 935, and then united Goryeo, Baekje, and Silla, later incorporated Baekje into Goryeo peacefully as a successor. Additionally, Wang Geon introduced fundamental reforms and strengthened a central ruling system. This marked the closing of the Three Kingdoms period. From that point the Korean peninsula was ruled by the Goryeo Dynasty. In the Three Kingdoms Period, Goguryeo Baekje Silla slowly developed into powerful states on the peninsula as well as in Manchuria.
