30days in girls only school

Boys don't know girls and girls don't know boys. The difference between men and women are so extreme that we say men and women are from different planet. For example, there is psychological researches that females feel the emotion while males focus on the action itself.

As time goes and society becomes more complicated, the role of individual sex has became  vague which made the need of interacting with other sex inevitable and important. However, the reality in Korea is that teenagers cannot interact much with other sex in the early age that understanding other sex has became hard and made more conflicts between males and females. Therefore, after seeing the 30days series, I believe 30days in other sexes only school will make teenagers in Korea to understand other sex more by two reasons.

Firstly, one's personality and point of view is mostly made at teen. Therefore, lack of experience of other sex will make lack of understanding and communication in the society. Therefore, to know and understand other sex, 30days in other sex's school is a must in Korean society.

Moreover, communicating with other sex has became essential in modern society. In the middle age, the role of each sex was very different. However, in modern society, as women's rights enhanced and less physical stresses in industries due to technological advance made sexual difference in work vague. Therefore, the chance of working with different sex is now usual and common in modern society which made communication skills and manners important.

Therefore, as a new 30days program, I believe 30days in girls only school is essential in Korean society.

creativity

Be creative, think what others have never thought about. So easy to say and so much people say that in every day routine. Is that easy? while, I don't think so. Then, is creativity the key factor to make the world a happier place? I'm not positive about it too. I can understand what Sir Ken Robinson believes, but the world is not so easy.

First, creativity is not raised so easily. It is raised after deep thinking and a lot of conversations and debates with others which education helps. Also, not everyone can have creativity and thus needs education to support the creativity to develop and be activated. Killing education to save creativity is too radical and has so much risk that modern society cannot and should not face. For example, there is a saying that when there are 10 photographers, 6 cannot barely feed themselves, 3 can never save their money and only 1 can succeed and the reason is how much they are born with it. In this saying, we can see that creativity cannot be the answer for every people but only for some.

Moreover, creativity is not always the answer to the world. As in Korean proverb, traditions are one of the key knowledge and the source of the world to work. creativeness in society is  ideal and can change the world positively but can also make serious problems because of lack of experience. Also, because of its originality, creativeness may not fit well to the society. For example, Lady Gaga's fashion is creative and original. However, can we adjust it into the whole society? I guess not.

Therefore, killing education to save creativity is to ideal and radical.

1. THB that education should focus on the gifted ones rather than the whole
2. THB that creativity should be the key factor for employing workers.
3. THB that following the tradition is more important than change in most aspect in the society

Michael Moore

It's a common sense that the press should be free from any organization and should only tell the truth without any influence from outside. However, in schools, student newspapers are getting interference from the teachers, even in KMLA, which the goal of school is to develop future leaders. 

In the article, Michael Moore is saying that students should make their own newspaper without the interference from teachers. I agree to Moore's idea because students are capable enough to express their own expressions without any interfere from adults. For example, few years ago, two students in New Zealand won a suit against a medical company by insisting that the companies health product didn't have any vitamins in it which the company advertised that it had it. Therefore, this incident shows that students are capable to express their emotion and has the ability to criticize adults logically. 

Possible motions

1. THB there should be regulation for student's political acts
2. THB teenagers have the right to vote
3. THB students should be differentiated in laws to adults
