It's time to move on!!!

 After its defeat in the presidential election, factional fighting has emerged in the Democratic Unitied Party. The proces of establishing the emergency committee and electing the floor leader is expected to be hard. I was for Moon in the election and it is sad that he was defeated. However, it's time to move on, DUP!! DUP lawmakers should think about what made people chose for the Saenuri Party and show nationals DUP is changing and strives to get back their minds. I really hope to see real change towards better itself, not factional fighting.

A real hero

A dog who lost her snout and upper jaw to save two young girls from a speeding motocycle became an international hero. After the injury, the dog named Kabang was taken to a hospital in the U.S. because vets in the Philippines were unable to treat her injuries. When I heard the news, I was very touched by the story. The real hero ran in front of a motocycle to save her ower's daughter. How loyal she is! She did what most people can't do. There is a saying that a dog is a man's best friend. I love a dog and respect a dog's loyalness for humans.

Helicopter parents got a stalking order

  Helicopter parents in the U.S. monitored their 21-year-old daughter's private life by installing tracking software on her phone and computer. The daughter fianlly got a stalking order against her parents to stay 500 feet away from her at all times. In Korea, there are also a lot of parents who intervene in their childen's lives even if they are adults. I understand why parents do these things and what makes them concerned about. In my experience, I feel irritated when my parents do such things.
Still, as parents have their own lives, their childeren have theirs. So stop helicopter parents!!

An insulting word on a valet ticket

 A woman in Florida is humiliated after a parking garage employess left an insulting word on a valet ticket. She is an actress and was scheduled to act in a theater. She was busy, so gave her car to the valets. The next day, her boyfriend spotted the valet ticket and it said "Fat. " She was very angry and then tried to reach out to the company, but did not receive sincere apology. This article made me upset because making bad comments behind someone's back is definitely bad... So before criticizing others, first think about yourself.

Privacy issues on the Internet

 Zuckerberg's sister became angry after her family photo from her Facebook was posted on Twitter by someone else. Someone who subscribes to Zuckerberg got a photo because of confusing Facebook privacy settings and tweeted with the photo. This made Zuckerberg upset. Zuckerberg commented to the public "always ask permission before posting a friend's photo and it's about human decency." Privacy is important and should be protected, but keeping it on the Internet is very difficult. Facebook especially makes controversy about privacy. I think the best way to keep privacy on the web is not to upload private photos.

Another gunshot accident

 Not long after a gunshot accident that made people think again about banning a gun in the U.S., another gunshot accident happened in the U.S. A 17-year-old boy was killed by a pair of gunmen.
One witness said he thought the shooting of the boy was a case of a mistaken identity. It is unfortunate that so many people in the U.S. die of shooting. I heard that Obama administration wants to take action on gun control. Gun control should be executed to protect innocent citizens as soon as possible.

Outdated bus terminals in Korea

Contrary to what people expect it to be, bus terminals in Korea are outdated and even don't have online ticket booking system. Whereas Korea's train stations are managed by a govenment budge, Korea's bus temnianls are maintained by private bus lines' opertaing income. In this respect, it is natural that bus terminals in Korea are relatively old and antiquated. I have a experience with that. I had to go from Seoul to Gangwon province in a winter vacation and was suprised to see bus terminals in smaller cities. Hope to see soon bus terminals in Korea have more up-to-date images in people's minds.
