England vandalism swept across the capital and Island. Why? In outside sight, the causes are very simple and clear.
It happened the government that had given lazy youngsters ‘free bread’ announced to stop it. There is no better place to live in like Britain. Britain has the highest wealfare system in the world. We don’t understand the rioters. Now many Asians and Africans are struggling to survive with little wealfare supports. I feel angry about them. They are worthless louts to Britain and the earth.
The British government and police do not need to give them any sympathy. They shoud be punished sternly and made corrections. In the developed countries, rioters are simply criminals, I heard one fifth of pupils leave illiterate. It is because the school, family, and society have no discipline and order. They have no excuse for their lootings. As a matter of fact, wrong humanitarian theories of social scientists have grown the rioters with indulgence.
I saw 10 explanations in BBC why the riots happened. I paid attention to Cristina Odone’s explanation that the riots could be traced back to a lack of male role models. Her analysis is persuasive.
Humans are activating by family love and, also are being forwarded by sound dreams. British couples divorced almost routinely and many people deserted the faith of the God. Britain should recover faith, morality, and discipline. (The end)

The Dangerous S&P's Evaluation
In the global society are two ‘uncontrollable’ powers, the three credit rating agencies and news companies.
As is well known, the UN is ‘always-polite grandfather.’ The EURO which expected to be progressed to the world government is tumbling due to the economic crisis of the south Europe. In the global world without compelling powers the two ‘guys’ shrewdly exploit and threat many countries other than their own ones such as the US, UK, France, Deutch, and the other western advanced countries. It is because that they are very afraid of the NGOs and their countries.
They were too magnanimous to their own countries because they are jittery about tough NGOs, interest groups and government inside. On the contrary, they were too severe to the Asian new players. As they take much criticism from many countries, they suddenly changed past ‘evil’ image to an ‘objective-masked’ face.
The S&P downgraded the U.S. credit rating for the first time from AAA status to AA-plus, with “negative outlook.” The U.S. raing is lower than the ones of France, Canada, Australia, Sweden, etc. Who believes? The S&P went too farther past the common sense. They showed that they have been a political institution. They thought that their existence is more important than public interest.
Credit assessing to an organization and companies might be possible, but it is absolutely impossible to assess the country.
Let’s look at 5 pillars in the S&P Sovereing Rating Framework:
Institutional effectiveness and political risks, Economic structures and growth prospects, external liquidity and international investment position, fiscal performance and flexibility as well as debt burden, monetary flexibility.
How abstract and ambiguous! The assessment could be arbitraray according to their intention, short insights, and biases. It can be said that they challenge the area of the God. Maybe they use mathematical tools, computer programs, analytic models, etc. As seen plausible, their methods are ‘rubbish.’ The economic phenomena are affected and formed by unimagiable many factors. So some financial analysts and political scientists lacking world experiences are not able to evaluate such great and complex situations.
Above all, the thing itself to evaluate 127 countries is dangerous. The evaluation and results are little helpful to evaluated countries, while enormously helpful to the rating agencies.
Today’s economic recession is rooted in deeper systematic and accumulated contradictions. These contradictions are beyond economic and poltical causes, rather lie in cultural, mental, social-related problems. The S&P downgrade will only lead to worsening the present agonies. The U.S economy needs spiritual, cultural, movemental therapies, not economic policies. (The end)

What are the reasons of K-pop's popularity?
In my opinion, one of the reasons should be the effect of the Third. The Third, the Korean musicians, who have intensely endeavored to learn the whole western music including pop and classics, recreated the western pop in their meme. Since 1990s Korean local musicians slowly pushed the original out and occupied some position of their own contents, K-pop, in the local market. At last, in about 2000s, K-pop almost dominated the local market. The musicians and young people, however, received and mimicked the original western and J-pop in the real time basis.
The mainstreamers of the western music circles might be surprised at facing this ‘sudden and incomprehensible’ phenomenon. But if you open your eyes widely and look at the performances carefully, you instantly find out the small, yet meaningful competitive points. The K-pop groups consist of very large members, from four to thirteen. Their skills are master-level because they are trained long even for a few years by specialists who mostly studied in the US music schools. Korean musicians succeeded in combining the Korean emotional inclinations to pop music with the original frame. In particular, they have ‘healthier’ ardent mind compared with the current ‘drugged’ western singers.
The popularity of K-pop might be a short span of wind. , It should be clear, however, K-pop adds a new pop gene to the diversity of pop music. The western mainstreamers seem fatigued at social circumstances psychologically, bodily and financially. It is said that the music is an upshot of its surroundings. You need some new fresh bloods.

Why the Japanes Economy Doesn't Work Well
The long-term recession of the Japanes economy is structurally attributed to the political power and the interior establishment, not high currency value, globalization, the developing nations closely running in chase of them.
The Japanese people have been too much dependent upon the ruling political parties and adminstrative bureaucracy, which are generally proved as incompetent and lethargic in any countries around the world. Historically analysing, competent leaders and excellent bureacracy are exceptions. Only Advanced countries have continually had some great or excellent leaders, and the great people, for example, the U.S, UK, France, Germany, Italy, and the small but wealthy nations like Swiss, Denmark, Sweden in the Western Europe.
Since the 1990s of the bursting of bubble economy there has had no excellent leaders in Japan like Thatcher, Reagan, Clinton, earlier Blair. The establishment consisting of the political bosses and high bureacrats from a few prestigious families and universaties has preferred some smooth improvements to innovation and revolutionary changes.
Japan’s economy needs the voluntary participation of the grass-rooters, not mobilized by the bureaucratic campaigns or catch-phrases of the political leaders. They have too much relied on the privileged elite as if the ancestors had been loyal to Shogun and Samurai classes unconditionally in the medieval ages.
Whether a country becomes a real advanced nation or not lies in political leaders being able to expolit the grass-rooters fully and orderly. Japan’s economy has been said for a long time, “The country is wealthy, but the people are poor.” Dispite having heard such a ‘mocking’ indication, the Japanese grass-rooters have obeyed to the establishment. In fact, Japan has the foolishly innocent people as well as the unexcellent leaders. They believed that the elites would guide them to best directions, which afterwards proved to impose only sacrifices on them. The Japanese elites have traditional wealthy nation’s biases, which mean strong military and foreign power, exterior status of state regardless of individual welfare and happiness. Except the Western democratic countries, most countries have such an out-of-dated vision. The Chinese people and elites also seem to have such a wrong goal incurred from a collective way of thinking.
The Asians need the democracy of economy. In the era of globalization, the borderline is not so important. It is meaningless, if the economomic development does not lead to individual wealth and happiness. If the economic fruits are turing to the elites and few wealthy classes, we must change the regime and institutions. The Asians must understand the real value of individualism. It is wrongly known to the Asains that the Western society has had no tradtion of community spirit. Absolute wrong. The western democratic societies make highly of individual happiness and benefit, in the base of the community spirit. The Asians must learn more, not boasting temporary eccnomic prosperity.

The Explosive Selling of the Book Named 'Justice'
“Justice: What’s the Right Thing to do?” written by Michael Sandel, Harvard professor, was translated into Korean language about three months ago. This serious, heavy-subject book was sold over 300,000 copies in Korea.
As the Korea’s publisher was excited at the tremendous hit, it invited Michael Sandel to give his lecture for the promotion of more selling. So many people gathered to hear the lecture at a big hall of a university, a surprised attendant jokingly said, “ A dead Micahel Jackson came here to sing?”
‘Justice:--‘ could be classified as the humanities and liberal arts category, in which if a new book is sold over over 10,000 copies, the one is regarded a super bestseller in Korea. Therefore, the figure of over 300,000 copies is a very, very super bestseller. This size of selling is a kind of social phenomenon, which needs to be interpreted, for example, why people read it, what their hidden intentions represent.
In my opinion, Korean people seem to feel that the present social situation is not in a state of justice, especially part of which is at least to blame on the recent hearings about some minister nominees.
While the polarization of wealth between the high and low classes widens greatly, the irregularities of some minister nominees were consecutively disclosed in a seires of hearings. An appointee to the Knowledge Economy minister's post had bought an old shabby house one year before the local government’s announcement of the developmemt master plan. Another appointee to Culutre and Tourism minister's post moved his addresses illegally in order to send daughters to good schools. Even the incumbent foreign minister resigned his office on suspicion that he might interfere with the recruitment of the new staff members belonging to his mininstry. His daughter was by chance passed alone in the special adopting test.
The present young and middle-aged generations are more furtherly angry about these irregularities of the high classes than the elder one. The public senses aggravated rapidly. The ruling power was forced to cancel the appointment of the two nominees and accepted the resignation of the foreign minister immediately.
In Korea, there have existed two insensitivities, one is no sense for safety, another no sense for irregularities. No paying attention to safety still results in many industrial disasters and accidents every year. No sense for the irregularities, however, shows basical changes. The young and middle-aged generations (the thirties and forties) do not forgive the elites misdeeds sternly. More encouragingly, the generations would not accommodate themselves to corruption other than the elder ones.
Although the steps towards the advanced nations are slow, it seems clear that the young power is changing the established people’s insensitivities for several customary corruption and nepotism forcibly. (The end)

Why aren't there 'Theodore Roosevelt' in Korea
In the early nineteen hundreds, President Theodore Roosevelt enforced the Sherman Anti-Trust Law against the only railroad company [trust] that a group of wealth American businessmen formed jointly.
Roosevelt said he would no compromise in enforcing the law. He asked the Supreme Court to break up the railroad trust. “We are not attacking these big companies. We are only trying to do away with any evil in them. We are not hostile to them. But we believe they must be controlled to serve the public good.” The Supreme Court eventually ruled against the railroad trust.
Theodore Roosevelt also successfully coordinated the coal miners’ strikes of 1902 after many complications.
The present President smashed the hardlined Korean Confederation of Trade Unions as soon as he took office. The unions were gradually softened to continual governmental threats. Now the horned bull was changed to a meek sheep.
Some experts friendly to medium- and small-sized companies have criticized that big companies, especially conglomerates, squeeze extra ‘profits’ out of them. But it is also problematic that the medium and small companies are dependent upon the big ones excessively without technological and managerial efforts.
The President stressed many times that the conglomerates and subcontractors get along with each other. Recently the President referred to the big companies’ unfair dealing with subcontractors and lukewarm new employment. At the President’s saying, the conservative press criticized the President as anti-corporatism and anti-marketism. In my opinion, however, the Korean conservative presses are anti-medium and small company and anti-people. The conservative presses write the conglomerates and their descendants as celebrities and describe them as heroes or patriots contributing to exporting. They are not s journalism, but a press merchant for ads.
In Korea, the President must make efforts to be similar to Theodore Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt simply did not referred to it but showed himself the conducts. (The end)

The Wise Choice of Korea's New People
In Korea, there are not noble families like Japan and Britain. The royal family and noble classes of the Chosun Dynasty, after the Japanese colonial period, were completely rooted out out of the Korean people and society. Korean people thought that the royal family and noble classes were considerably responsible for the shameful colony.
Since the new nation of 1945, the new established classes have been forming slowly. The first established group is the wealthy families named Jaebul like Samsung, LG, Hyundai etc. But Korea’s wealthy families are not respected by people, because most of them have been involved in irregularities, for example illegal inheritances and briberies, in addtion to lack of noblesse oblige.
Politicians, governmental servants, and knowledged scholars have not also earned the esteem of general people, because they looked self-dedicated, conceited, and not so able to deal with social long problematic affairs. Therefore, no classes have authority to persuade the people. In other words, the complaining and angry people are gradually revealing their power directly.
The today’s people are not the same as the past ones. The past ones are friendly to same hometown, same alumni, and private relationships. Whenever the election days come in, the old people used to vote for their privately related candidates. Now the new people changed, and at least began to change their past voting behaviors.
Korea’s democracy has evolved into more desirable directions step by step through people’s demoratic revolutions, the imprisonment of two corrupted ex-presidenst, etc.
In all these hard, but proud roads towards democracy, there appeared a class of ‘collective free-riders’. They are the prosecution. which could be said in fact the full benefiaries of Korea’s democracy. The people had needed the prosecution to punish the deeply rooted, corrupted politicians, governmental servants, and enterprisers. The prosecution at last jailed two ex-presidents. And at the latest, the prosecution summoned the just before president, Rho Moo-hyun, and pressed to confess his wrongdoings. The prosecution leaked out unconfirmed charges to the news media to create the good public opinions for their investigation. Rho Moo-hyun was a human-rights and labor-movement lawyer from a commercial high school, and as a stubborn progressive politican distanced himself from the wealthy families owning several big companies. He had a few friends of small and medium-sized enterprisers. He and his wife seemed to have gotten financial helps from them before the presidential office. The charged amount was ‘very small’.
The former president threw himself to dealth off the cliff behind his retired home. His death aroused tremendous people’s sympathy, especially younger generation and middle-agers. He has almost all popular factors that he is a self-made man, a solitary idealist against the establihsed classes, and that he is a warmer European dreamer other than an American dreamer of marketism and competition.
The new people are angry about the prosecutors. The prosecutors are from the middle and poor classes. Most of them have an inclination seeking success, for example gripping political power, social privileges, and wealth on their hands. Of course, they have a sense of justice, however their collective interest and solidarity of the prosecutors themselves appeared stronger than social responsibilities, contribution to community and universal principles. They are usually married to wealthy families.
In the military autocratic period, the political power controlled the prosecution as well as the people. In today’s almost complete democracy, no power can control the prosecution. The prosecution has the exclusive right to investigate and prosecute any suspect. All classes except for the prosecutors themselves are fearful of them. The prosecution has become an only autocratic class in Korea. After leaving the office, they are able to choose three ways, independent lawyer or lawmaker, or corporate solicitor for the conglomerates.
The people have known not only such a fact of the proscutors’ privileges, but also their ‘curved’ ambitions. The people began to pay attention to the prosecutors’ behaviors. Just in time, the incident of ‘sponsored’ prosecutors happened. The ‘dark’ customary sponsorship between the prosecutors and enterprisers stirred up the public and mass media. The congress was forced to organize the special prosecutors to investigate the case objectively. The president appointed the special prosecutors recommended from the congress.
This year there were two elections. The new people showed their clear will at these elections. The voters gave the insolent ruling party severe defeat at the earlier election, whereas at the later election they made stern judgment to the opposition party which ignored the people’s expectations after the earlier overwhelming winning.
The new people would become a real soruce and asset of true advancement. What a wonderful phenomenon in Korean modern history.! (The end)
