Need but cannot get, want but cannot have

Need but cannot get, want but cannot have

In the same world, two different situations occur simultaneously. Companies want employees. However, they cannot get enough employees as many as they want. On the other hand, many people want to get a job, but cannot get one. What is the problem of this situation?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are ones who need and also ones who want. In reality, many people are in vicious cycle. In Korea, Generation called ‘Eight hundred eighty thousand won generation’ is having a serious problem. It’s the generation that is now 18~24 years old; that the average income is eight hundred eighty thousand won and the unemployment rate is at its peak.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reason why people cannot be employed even though many companies need employees is because generation has changed. Nowadays, industrial system has changed to 4th industry, which is an information industry. This needs highly educated employees, the ones who graduated university and the ones who have Ph.Ds. However, not only the ones who fit this condition apply for the employment, but also the ones who do not fit this condition also apply for the employment. In this case, usually the former only gets the job. Therefore, people who cannot get these high-waged jobs can only get labor jobs, usually low-waged.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The things are getting worse because the government is trying to show a makeshift solution. The president of America, Barrack Obama is trying to extend the time period that people can get support from government if they are unemployed, from 20 weeks to 99 weeks. Even though many citizens give an enthusiastic welcome to this change of policy, this is only a temporary solution. It cannot solve the fundamental problem of this situation. Instead, government should make a policy to create jobs for the people who cannot be employed. Extending support period only halts the economy, making it even harder in later days.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every day, economists are trying to search for the fundamental solution of global unemployment. However, many solutions have come up and gone beyond the history. Yet no solution is known as ‘perfect solution’. However, I believe someday the global leaders of KMLA can give a better solution for all people in the world. Also, I urge people in the world to have in mind that they can be the ones who could solve the economic problems that exists right now.

Film - Spring. 易地思之

Watching the film, I realized that things elementary school kids usually do to small weak animals are very atrocious. Even I did some of those things when I was very young. Once, there were a lot of wood louses in our playground in school. Often my friend and I used to play with those, because it rolls itself up when touched. We found it funny to play and did many cruel things, when I retrospect now. We often bisected it with knife, chopped its legs and heads for fun. As I grow older, when I came to know that all life on earth is precious, I stopped those things. I even sometimes try not to step on small plants that grow between bricks on a road. However, watching this film made me remind the importance of 易地思之. This is read ‘Yeok Ji Sa ji’, meaning think in other’s point of view. Even for me, if a big boulder is hanging on me, it would be a real pain. Most of the people know that every life is unique, but we should realize that human is killing many small lives not on purpose and those lives are equally unique and precious as ours. Not only killing is the point, but also other things could be included in this. For example, bullying or distressing others. The important thing is, we need to think in other’s view.
