FTA...South korea & US...

Recently, president Lee is promoting the Free Trade Agreement between Korea and the United States that includes import cheap rice and cows in US. I partly agree with the FTA. With promoting the FTA, Korea will develop more as contrasted with Korea's policy of seclusion period. Fortunately, import of rice has canceled, but the another problem is import of beef in the United States. Farmers demonstrated to FTA and some farmer even burn themselves to death. The price of Beefs in the United States is only 1/3 prices of Korean beef cattle, therefore damages in stock raising farmhouses will be growing up. That's why I worry about the FTA between Korea and the United States. A lot of people believe US cattle are the cattle that have mad cow disease. But it's wrong facts. Some rumors and a lot of news about US cattle instigates people's hidden anxiety of mad cow disease to their fears of dead. If people still thought beefs in the United States are dangerous, some experts calim that it will help stock raising farmhouse, though. Because people's fear, even it's so small, can make them buy more Korean beefs. However, we can trade to US without a tariff wall. This is the ultimate purpose of FTA of both Korea and the US. Also, US and Korea tade each one's things, therefore its efficiency can be extremely enhanced. And so on Korean service industry has an opportunity that dumb up our level by competing with US. This means we can make lots of jobs. The government expects the direct effect that FTA will make jobs with specialized field and a high-technology industry as the central figure. Although we will miss more things than get, there is no successful country with a policy of seclusion. Therefore, I agree with FTA but I partly disagree with it in reason.

only woman cars? wow. i like this system.

I listened to the presentation last week. It was very impressive. Now, I want to talk about only for women train system. Topic was “Woman only cars in the subway”. I agree with the idea that the women only in the car because there are many sexual crimes especially in the subway and subway station.  These days sexual crime is increased in subway. This system actually had existed before. It was began 1992 but it fizzled out and disappeared. But they try to reintroduce this system for women's safety. Because sexual harassment is increasing especially in subway. I think intend of introducing this system is good idea relating to those conditions. For example, in my case I have seen lots of perverts in the subway when I was in high school especially during early in the morning and midnight. I felt insecure most of time when I was on the way of school. And actually, Japan prevents crime which is targeting women by enforcing women-only car system. So, if we introduce this system we can't get rid of such crime but at least we can reduce it. Decreasing rate of crime is also important. I read with interest this morning that Seoul, South Korea, is looking to reintroduce female-only subway cars in its transportation system in September to fight sexual harassment and sexual assault. In 1992, Seoul, South Korea, introduced women-only cars to its subway system. Only women were allowed in the front car and the back car of the trains from 7-9 a.m. and 5-7 p.m. anyway I agree with the idea that “Woman only cars in the subway”. Thank you.
