Evolution Korea
The democratic system in South Korea is prone to populist tendencies. However, it is more stable than might be expected.
The country is in search of a new development paradigm. A Confucian culture that values respect for ancestors as well as gendered family relationships continues to influence society. But there are signs that a secular culture is beginning to emerge.
Origins
In prehistoric times the ancestors of modern Koreans were capable of surviving by hunting and gathering wild food. About 10,000 years ago, they began to cultivate millet, beans and other crops. They also raised livestock and made furs. They also established tribal states one after the other in Manchuria and on the Korean peninsula. They also established an industry of metallurgy, which produced bronze and later iron tools. They traded with other states and introduced celadon, paper making, block printing art styles, and a written language to Japan.
Gojoseon was founded in 2333 BCE on the southern peninsula. The state adopted Buddhism and adopted Chinese culture including Confucian philosophy. At this time, the people of Buyeo became part of Gojoseon. Gojoseon was a state that was hierarchical where the monarch and other senior officials were members of the land aristocracy, while the rest of the population was peasants. The state imposed taxes on the citizens and often required them to fight in the army or work on projects of the government, like building fortifications.
Onjo Prince Onjo, a prince from Goguryeo who was also the son of Jumong who was the founder of Goguryeo, founded the state of Baekje at the close of the time. This new kingdom expanded its territory to the southwest of the peninsula and clashed with Goguryeo and China's commanderies in the area. Baekje included elements of Confucian thinking into its state belief system and made the male-centric concept of filiopiety an official doctrine in 1390 CE. Under the guise filiopiety, fathers were responsible to their families. They had to be obedient to everyone and respected even by their grandchildren and children.
Goryeo, which would rule from 918 until 1392 CE gave the world the Hangul alphabet built on the patterns created by the mouth during pronunciation. This greatly improved communication and led to a boom in the writing of Buddhist text. Additionally, movable metallic type printing was introduced and woodblock printing was improved. In 1145 CE, the Samguk Sagi or "History of the Three Kingdoms" was the first to be recorded.
The evolution of Korea
The Korean peninsula was habitable from Neolithic times onwards. Early evidence of human settlements is evident in the form cist graves lined with stone, with precious items such as amazonite jewelry that were buried with the dead. Megalithic structures, known as dolmens, and made of large stones in a single piece, are prevalent throughout the country.
In the first part of the 1st millennium BCE, Gojoseon established itself as the first recognized political state. After that the peninsula was ruled by several states in the Three Kingdoms period (57 BCbetween 635 and 57 BC CE) including Baekje Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. The northern region of the peninsula was occupied for a period by the Balhae Kingdom which historians do not consider to be a genuine Korean state.
After the Three Kingdoms, several smaller states emerged in the Proto-Three Kingdoms period, or Several States Period (yeolgugsidae). Of them, Baekje was the most powerful state, 에볼루션바카라 but its dynasty ended when Goguryeo was defeated in 676 CE, leaving the southern provinces of Manchuria and the western region around 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 started to cooperate to expand their territories. Silla, with the help of the Chinese eventually conquered and united the peninsula in 935.
As Korea enters a post-crisis era the way it develops appears to be changing. People who are shocked by the immense cost of the old system advocate the need for a comprehensive program of liberalization in capital, labor, and product markets. On the other hand, those who support the old system want to keep it in place by leveraging nationalist sentiments and exaggerating fears about job losses.
Analysts and academics are divided on the extent to which Korea's development is being driven by these two trends. This article reviews developments to date, by looking at five phases of Korea's political development that include democratic illiberalism (1945-60) democratic authoritarianism (1961-72) and authoritarian exceptionalism (1972-87) democratic paternalism (1987-2001) and participatory democracy (2002 to present). This article also identifies key factors that appear to be driving these developments.
Creationism in Korea
In South Korea, 26 percent of the population is Christian. Creationists have made strides in promoting their views to this segment. A survey conducted in 2009 found that nearly a third of respondents did not believe in evolution. Of the respondents, 41% stated that there was not enough scientific evidence to support evolution 39% of respondents said that the theory contradicted their religion and 17% said it was difficult to comprehend. This level of doubt is similar to that of the United States, where a similar percentage of people do not accept that humans evolved from less advanced species of life.
In the past, the majority of the anti-evolution movement in Korea was focused on teaching college students and in bringing them to Christ. In 1980 the year 1980, a four-day creation science seminar was held in Seoul during the World Evangelization Crusade. Drs. Henry Morris and Duane Giss of ICR were the keynote speakers. The event attracted a large audience of scientists, professors and church leaders.
The success of this event resulted in the creation of the Korea Association of Creation Research (KACR) on January 31, 1981. The inauguration meeting was widely covered in national newspapers, including The Korea Times and Chosun Ilbo and attracted a lot of attention.
KACR began publishing a monthly newsletter, CREATION, which covered its activities and published articles on the scientific evidence supporting creationism. It also translated a number of slides and film strips from ICR and also some books on creationism which were already published outside of Korea. KACR members delivered lectures in churches and universities throughout the country.
One example of an KACR success story occurred at the KAIST university in Seoul. There, students were so interested in creationism that they raised the money and support needed to build a small museum on campus featuring creationist fossil models and 에볼루션 사이트 other exhibits.
In addition to its public activities, KACR publishes a bimonthly news magazine called CREATION which covers topics in the field of creation science, and it has sponsored a series of talks by ICR staff. It has also created branches in local offices that host seminars and talks to schoolchildren and 에볼루션 사이트바카라 에볼루션사이트 (site) community groups.
Changes in South Korea
In the late nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century, Korea began to adopt an increasingly Westernized lifestyle. The traditional Korean dress, the hanbok, was replaced by miniskirts, and other fashion elements from abroad. The traditional Korean music was also replaced by rock and roll and jazz. In this period the famous samulnori or masked dance-dramas, became popular with the general public. These dramatic dances were performed to the accompaniment of shaman drums and various types of musical instruments.
Korea's new model of development is being formed in the aftermath of the economic crisis. The main challenge for the new regime is to find an equilibrium between market-oriented and state-led economic policies. It also involves changing the incentives and monitoring strategies that have shaped the pre-crisis system. These issues are addressed in Chapters 3 and 4.
Established by Onjo, prince of Goguryeo and the third son of Jumong, Baekje was established jointly by people living along the Hangang River, those from Buyeo and other areas and migrants from northern China. In the early 4th century, Baekje was a major regional power and expanded its territory to Mahan in the north and Jeollanam-do in the south. As a result, it was in frequent battle with Goguryeo and the Chinese commanderies across the border.
The decline of Silla in the late 8th and 9th centuries enabled powerful local factions to emerge. Gungye was a noble from Later Baekje, established a kingdom with Songak as its capital. It also held control over a portion of present-day Jeolla and Chungcheong provinces. Then, he moved the capital to Wansanju. He was a rival to Goguryeo.
However, his rule was short-lived. Wang Geon, a powerful local leader who defeated Gungye in 935, and then united Goryeo, Baekje, and Silla and later joined Baekje into Goryeo peacefully as a successor. Wang Geon also introduced fundamental reforms, and strengthened the centralized ruling system. This marked the conclusion of the Three Kingdoms period. The Korean peninsula was later under the control of the Goryeo Dynasty. In the Three Kingdoms Period, Goguryeo Baekje Silla gradually grew into powerful states on the peninsula and in Manchuria.
