When we start studying, we become vampires. As the senses become 300 times more sensitive, the amount of discomfort increases exponentially. Not only that. We are curious about the video that we were never curious of, and we want to check the message that is coming. Eventually we get our hands on our phones again. This transition from vampire to human takes 3 to 11 minutes, on average. Which means, people's 'concentration' can't last even 20minutes when there is temptations. And this horrible transition that ruins our day has a familiar name; multitasking. First of all, what is multitasking? T
Recently, the global energy crisis is getting serious. It occurred due to various reasons, and greenflation, a surge in raw material prices which occurs in the process of converting to an eco-friendly industrial structure, is one of the strongest reasons. Greenflation restrained the supply of non-ferrous metals, therefore, there have been tons of side effects. First, coal prices doubled from $50 per ton at the end of last year to $100 this September. Chinese government minimized investment and production of fossil fuels, which brought to the global energy crisis. Furthermore, the Chinese gover
According to the 2020 Emissions Gap Report announced by United Nations Environment Program, the global temperature will rise 3.2 degrees in 2100. In North America and the middle east, forest fires and drought continued due to heatwaves, while Western Europe and central China are suffering from the highest level of rainfall since observations. In Brazil, the coldwave made its lowest temperature 17.96°F, which is -7.8°C. Experts predict that the world temperature will rise two degrees Celcius in 2050. In that situation, about 420 million people will undergo extreme heat waves. Also, about 410 mi
Japan has made an issue of Korea's food procurement in the Tokyo Olympics. U.S arranged a facility to provide meals for their own athletes, and Japan hasn't made any opinions about this, which is contradictory. On July 21st according to USA Today, United States Olympic committee was supposed to provide 32.7tons of food and drinks to their athletes. U.S. intended to supply meals that match their athletes' taste with this way. Korean Sport& Olympic Committee provided food made of Korean ingredients. Japan's reponse toward Korea and U.S. differed. Japan strongly resisted at the news of Korean
Recently, The State Department warned Americans against traveling to Japan, as the country has increasing coronavirus infections. Japan is issued level 4, the highest cautionary level –Do not travel-. Because of this, no international travelers are allowed in Japan, except for athletes who participates in the Tokyo Olympics. The Olympic games are scheduled on July 23rd with the Paralympics beginning on August 24th. The U.S. Olympic Committee mentioned that athletes could compete safely in Japan.

More than 3.4 million Myanmar citizens, six percent of Myanmar's total population, could face starvation in the next six months. The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) said that hunger is rapidly increasing across Myanmar due to the overlap of existing poverty, Covid-19, and military coups. A growing number of families are in crisis to the point of skipping meals in Yangon. In a recent report, rice prices across Myanmar have risen by an average of 5% since January, and cooking oil prices also rose by 18% since February. The World Bank predicted that Myanmar's economy would retreat ten per
In this news, I would like to talk about a club in JeongPeong Middle school named ‘Korean Peninsula Project’. In this project, three different clubs collaborated to do a campaign activity. Each person researched a problem in our society related to the topic of ‘Korean Peninsula’. For more campaign activities, they all took a photo of them wearing their Project T-shirt, decorating a mini-fan with stickers showing problems in the peninsula. These photos are put up online for a scheme. To specify the task, many students participated in the campaign by mentioning problems such as the Japanese Mili
People, especially modern peple are quite naive about our economic systems and our histories. As you know, Korea, which has been developed since 1970’s is really a special case. Then how and why? Just please read it out, ‘Developing Country’ usually has changed in a short period of time. Indonesia, China, Uzbekistan and Cambodia are included. Such countries have so far faced the problems of forming public facilities, schools, hospitals and other facilities of convenient. Poor sanitation would be the other thing. In contrast, "advanced countries" have already developed slowly and have made many
When we live, we go through many hardships and difficulties. We also face many kinds of choices. What we choose cannot satisfy us all the time, but we should be able to adapt to the given path and be thankful. This poem shows a similar situation. A poetic narrator is in front of two roads, which means the path of his life. He chose a path and walked boldly on that path. The writer said his choice changed his life.
