제 2 호 Social Welfare for SMU Students
Kicker: SOCIETY (SOCIAL WELFARE) Social Welfare for SMU Students Focus Check-up: Current State of Welfare and School Policies for Disabled People by Hye-im Li, Reporter, Sarah Chae, Editor kateli1004@naver.com, sarah3fran@gmail.com You made it, half of 2019 has already gone by. You might have gone throught half of this year on your own, but sometimes you might need help. Today, the SM Herald will take a look at social welfare policies that are closely related to you as an SMU student. More specifically, we will handle welfare policies for the Youth, Women, and the Disabled. Now let’s check-up on a couple of policies and the tasks ahead for each subject. 1. Youth Welfare Policies Summary Financial Support Tomorrow Filling Aid for Young Employees (also called Tomorrow Mutual Aid for Young Employees) Recruitment Support Young Recruitment Activity Support Fund There are four categories of Youth Welfare Policies. Out of Support for Recruitment (Employment), Start-ups, Living/Welfare, and Residential/Financial Policies, we decided to introduce the two policies above. Tomorrow Filling Aid for Young Employees This is a business run together by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, and the Ministry of SMEs and Startups in order to make young people work longer at their companies. The youth, companies, and government put aside and save money together for young people who work for 2-3 years at small/middle sized companies as a full-time employee. After 2-3 years, the Filling Aid is given to the young worker in the form of a performance-based benefit, or more easily, a bonus. You can see the difference between the 2 and 3 year Filling Aid below. (Won) 2 year aid 3 year aid Total Amount of Money the Young Person (You) Pay 3,000,000 6,000,000 Monthly Amount the Young Person (You) Pay 125,000 165,000 Amount of Money the Company Supports 4,000,000 6,000,000 Amount of Money the Government Supports 9,000,000 18,000,000 Total Amount of Money Given 16,000,000 + (Interest) 30,000,000 + (Interest) This program gives the youth chances to save big money and for the companies to hold on to talented workers. You can apply for this if you are between 15-34 years (up until 39 if you have served in the army) old, and within 3 months after you are recruited for a full-time job. Then, you need to send an application on the Worknet Youth Filling Aid Website (www.work.go.kr/youngtomorrow) and also apply for a subscription at the Ministry of SMEs and Startups Website (www.sbcplan.or.kr). If you want more information, call the Ministry of Employment and Labor (1350). Young Recruitment Activity Support Fund This program is a support fund for job seekers. You can get up to 3 million won (500 thousand won a month, total six months) as support, and also get employment services. These services include support program guides, job lectures, training, and if requested, 1:1 counseling as well. If you don’t have a job, are between 18-34 years old, if it is within 2 years after you graduated or dropped out of school, and if your standard income is under 120%, you can go ahead and apply at the Online Youth Center (https://www.youthcenter.go.kr/seekActvSptfndAppl/aboutThis.do). 2. Women Welfare Policies Summary Strengthening the System of Promoting Gender Equality - Installing a department dedicated to gender equality in major government departments - Installing Gender Equality Centers in several regions Strengthening the Protection of Women’s Rights for Victims of Violence - Support for victims of digital sex crimes - Support for domestic violence victims The Korean government has selected strengthening and improving the two categories above as major tasks for women policies for the past 2 years. Let’s take a quick look for what has been done for each task. Strengthening the System of Promoting Gender Equality In order to deal with sexual violence and discrimination problems in the culture and art, school, and the work areas, departments dedicated to gender equality have been installed in major government departments. Gender equality policy officers were set up at the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Culture/Sports/Tourism, Ministry of Health and Welfare, and the Ministry of Employment and Labor. In the case of the Police Department and the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office, the department in charge has been regularized. Efforts are also being made in units of provinces. In order to close the gap of gender equality and spread the culture of this in these areas, four Gender Equality Centers have been installed in Gyeonggi, Incheon, North Gyeongsang and the South Jeolla provinces. Strengthening the Protection of Women’s Rights for Victims of Violence The government has strengthened support for the increasing number of digital sex victims. The Digital Sexual Crimes Victims Support Center has been established. www.women1366.kr/stopds, and www.women1366.kr are their websites. These people provide counseling support, deleting/investigating/legal support, and medical support. Support for the domestic violence victims has also been strengthened. To help these people stand on their own feet even after they come out of their shelters, support for housing/living expenses such as monthly rent and rental deposits, are being provided. 3. Disabled Welfare Policies Summary Recruitment Support - Support for compulsory education for awareness improvement - Expanding of the scope of beneficiaries of employment incentives for the disabled Support from IT Company - Good Choice (YeogiEottae: 여기어때) Company selects 12 places for the disabled to travel without difficulty. The basic idea of the Welfare Law for the Disabled is defined in three categories. Complete social participation of the disabled, equality of the disabled and social integration through it. Based on this, the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s policy goals and strategies are aimed at an inclusive society where the life gap between the disabled and other citizens is mitigated, and eventually helps the disabled to stand on their own feet. This can be possible by reforming the welfare/health support system, guaranteeing education/culture and sports opportunities, strengthening rights and safety, promoting social participation, and strengthening the foundation of economic independence. There are various policies for the disabled, but among them, we will take a brief look at the current employment system, introduce meaningful IT enterprise activities for the disabled, and conclude by addressing the overall problems of the disabled policies. Recruitment Support In order to eliminate workplace prejudice against disabled workers and create an improved working environment, workplaces must provide education once a year, and impose fines if they fail to do so. The government is supporting education instructors to ease the burden on business owners. You can download the application form from the Korea Employment Service for the Disabled and apply to the institute that carries out the instructor-assisted projects in line with the form by fax or e-mail (https://www.kead.or.kr/view/service/service04_17_12.jsp). The Ministry of Employment and Labor has also strengthened the benefits this year for employers who hire disabled workers. The payment target is the employer that employs the disabled beyond the mandatory employment rate, and the application can be made on the following website; https://www.kead.or.kr/view/service/service04_02_02.jsp?sub2=1. Support from IT Company ‘Non-difficulty travel for the Disabled’ is a tourist destination where disabled people can travel comfortably without any inconvenience, and is a national policy included in the 100 major state tasks "Expanding Tourism Welfare and Boosting the Tourism Industry" to enhance the rights of the disabled. With Innovation, which operates the comprehensive accommodation and activity application Good Choice (YeogiEottae: 여기어때), selected 12 tourist destinations with convenient facilities that guarantee disabled mobility rights as well as restrooms and parking lots among tourist destinations located across the country. Overall Problems of the Disabled Policies Existing policies that define the disabled as incompetent beings who are isolated from society and need protection are being challenged. In addition, facility policies that do not guarantee even the right to speak, which is the actual subject of disabled facilities, tend to bring down the disabled into objects of self-sacrifice. According to the Policy Budget Monitoring Report of the Center for the Disabled, the budget for protecting facilities is higher than that for supporting disabled people to live on their own in the community. This undermines the independence of the disabled and conflicts with the paradigm of self-reliance. Let's look at the following section for more details. Following welfare policies for the Disabled, the SM Herald will handle Sangmyung University policies for disabled students in detail. Let's take a look at how well Sangmyung University supports the education welfare for disabled students. For more information, the SM Herald interviewed with Mr. Seo Geon, the person in charge of the Disabled Students Support Center in Sangmyung University. ▲ The Interview with Mr. Seo Geon [Interview] For convenience, A is a reporter and B is the person in charge of the Disabled Students Support Center. The interview is separated into three parts: Disabled Students Support Center, Facilities for the Disabled, Comparison with Other Schools. ▲ The Disabled Students Support Center ▶Disabled Students Support Center A: When did you start your work at the Disabled Students Support Center? B: I started this job in March 2017. When I started the job, it was a little confusing because I had to face with accidental events like the unexpected increase of disabled students. A: I see. Can you tell me what the Disabled Students Support Center does? B: We are especially focusing on education support for the disabled. The Disabled Students Support Center supports application for classes, the deaf remote assistance and teaching aid devices. Furthermore, the Disabled Students Support Center sends public notices about consideration of disabled students and holds events to improve the consciousness of the disabled. A: There are lots of things to do in the Disabled Students Support Center. I heard that there is a Disabled Students Helping System. What is the Disabled Students Helping System and how can we sign up for it? B: There are two ways to sign up for the Disabled Students Helping System. You can become a helper by applying for either ‘On-Campus Working Scholars’ or ‘National Working Scholars.’ Applying for ‘On-Campus Working Scholars’ requires some more specific qualification than applying for ‘National Working Scholars.’ An applicant needs agreement for the relevant disabled and must be a student who is not able to apply for ‘National Working Scholars.’ It is quite complicated so many students apply for ‘National Working Scholars.’ Currently, there is only one helper who applied to be an ‘On-Campus Working Scholar’ and the other 18 helpers applied to be ‘National Working Scholars.’ ▶Facilities for the disabled A: I found out that the Disabled Students Support Center also handles the task of providing and improving the convenience of disabled students. What kinds of tasks are they doing? B: Recently, we promoted a project installing desks for the disabled in the library. We promoted installing a handrail, too. Besides, we are planning to make a lounge and a study room for the disabled. A: I am wondering about the evaluation results of education welfare support for disabled college students. Could you tell us the results? B: According to the 2017 *Evaluation of Education Welfare Support for Disabled College Students conducted by the Education Ministry, Sangmyung University got a ‘normal grade.’ Because of geographical features like a steep slope, we are making a lot more efforts to support education service for disabled students. ▲ The desk for students who are using wheelchair (located at the library lobby) ▶Comparison with other schools A: How many disabled students in our school? B: 20 students are on the register at present. Three to four disabled students are entering our school every year. A: Then, compared with other schools, is the number of disabled students in Sangmyung University bigger than other schools? B: I think the number of disabled students is bigger than other general universities. However, there are some universities which have lots more students than our university. Typically, Sahmyook University (70 students), Myongji University (62 students) and Korea Nazarene University (374 students). The reason for having lots of disabled students is that they are mission schools. University Total students in school Disabled students in school The number of freshmen who entered by the Special Admission System for students with Disabilities (2018) Sangmyung 6,750 19 6 Kookmin 15,290 8 0 Myongji 6,620 62 18 Sahmyook 5,662 70 25 Korea Nazarene 5,268 374 87 (Academyinfo, A Study on the Establishment and Operation of Students with Disabilities Support System, 2018) From the interview, the SM Herald could notice what the Disabled Students Support Center does to improve disabled students’ education welfare. They support application for classes and implement the Disabled Students Helping System. However, I heard that most disabled students are deaf or have mental weaknesses. It sounds like there are obstacles for physically challenged people to enter our university. Therefore, Sangmyung University has to try hard to improve obstacles like the steep slope or internal facilities. Besides, it is necessary for us to pay attention to disabled students and communicate with disabled students to advance integrated education. Until now, the SM Herald dealt with welfare policies for the Youth, Women, and the Disabled. There were lots of policies and institutes which are working hard for improving welfare. If you pay attention, you will be able to find out more information about Youth, Women, and the Disabled. Besides, the SM Herald deeply handled the Disabled students welfare in Sangmyung University. Through this interview, I hope readers will be more interested in Disabled students. *Evaluation of education welfare support for disabled college students : The Education Ministry is conducting its evaluation every three years. The evaluation implements a comprehensive evaluation of the selection of disabled students, teaching and learning, and areas of facilities and equipment. *Sources: http://www.academyinfo.go.kr/uipnh/unt/unmcom/RdViewer.do https://moe.go.kr/boardCnts/view.do?boardID=333&boardSeq=73780&lev=0&searchType=null&stauusYN=W&page=1&s=moe&m=0501&opType=N http://www.korea.kr/special/policyFocusView.do?newsId=148860639&pkgId=49500727 http://naver.me/xQALZxSG https://blog.naver.com/mogefkorea/221540102901 https://www.mohw.go.kr/react/policy/index.jsp?PAR_MENU_ID=06&MENU_ID=06370102&PAGE=2&topTitle=정책목표/추진전략 http://www.ableinfo.co.kr/bbs/board.php?tbl=business&mode=VIEW&num=73&category=&categoryYear=&findType=&findWord=&sort1=&sort2=&it_id=&shop_flag=&mobile_flag=&year=ok&page=1 https://blog.naver.com/molab_suda/221531694777 https://www.mss.go.kr/site/eng/ex/bbs/View.do?cbIdx=244&bcIdx=1006719 https://www.youthcenter.go.kr/seekActvSptfndAppl/aboutThis.do https://pixabay.com/ko/photos/%ED%88%AC%EC%9E%90-%EA%B8%88%EC%9C%B5-%EC%8B%9C%EA%B0%84-%ED%88%AC%EC%9E%90-%EC%88%98%EC%9D%B5-3247252/ http://biz.heraldcorp.com/common_prog/newsprint.php?ud=20150603000477
제 1 호 “How Is It Going?” What is Everyone Reading?
“How Is It Going?” What is Everyone Reading? Social trends seen through bestsellers by Min-gyeong Lee, Editor / Yu-sun Kang, Reporter lee.mkpeach@gmail.com / dbtjs126@naver.com Even if the number of people who read books decreases by the day, the best-selling books could be an indicator that notes the interests of people these days. Therefore, let me examine the bestseller information from internet bookstores, focusing on current keywords of the past few years. 1. “Healing” and “Hot Topic” 1) Warm-hearted essay, “Respect self-esteem” In the difficulties of everyday life and social conditions, people have wanted something that could affirm their self-esteem. Rather than future-oriented self-help books, artless and warm-hearted essays and diaries that writers plainly confessed mental difficulties have been emphasized. The “character essay” like ‘Pooh Bear; There Are Happy Things Everyday’ has been a big hit since last year. In addition, 10 character essays, such as BONOBONO's, Doraemon, Alice, Mickey Mouse, Peter Rabbit, Pororo etc, were published and had readers heart-warmed. △ Pooh Bear; There Are Happy Things Everyday’ The book ‘I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Some Tteokboki’ has gained great popularity and many books have been published, which incorporate depression confession and diaries struggling against disease. △ I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Some Tteokboki’ In addition, a book about how to protect ourselves wisely in a harsh society, that is, rejecting the unreasonable demands from others, and presenting a method of keeping sane in human relations, has gained great popularity; ‘How to Smile and Deal with Rude People’, ‘How to Talk without Negligible’, ‘Between You and Me’, ‘I Decided to Live as Who I Am’, ‘I Decided to Live Insensitively’ etc. △ Books about balance of protecting self-esteem and wise social life 2) Women, "My Reality, Our Reality" Feminism is a hot potato nowadays, with various kinds of sexual violence incidents, female hate crimes, and the popular female realism novel ‘Kim Ji-young Born in 1982’. Other than that, the woman's realism novels including ‘Ha-yon-ga’, ‘Her Name Is’, ‘The Lie That A Woman is happy Because She Is Female’, ‘Walk Together but Alone’, etc. have been published. △ Female realism novels Nowadays, those contents have been diverse such as Korean women's life, history of women's studies, confessions of married women, etc. The history books of women's studies-based social analysis have attracted the attention of readers, such as ‘Triggering of Feminism’ and ‘Feminism Approved by Brother(Oppa)’. △ Books of women's studies-based social analysis The importance of gender neutral education is also discussed nowadays, ‘Feminism School for Children’, ‘I Really Want to Say’, ‘My sister(Unnie), What Is Feminism?’, ‘Pink Hat’, ‘Feminism To School’, ‘ Hi, My Name Is Feminism’ and other educational books for children and adolescents have been published. Lots of readers are also interested in sex education books for parents: ‘How to Educate Your Daughter with Courage without Having Atrophy’, ‘How to Educate Your Son Smiling without Hesitation’, ‘A Sex Education Dialogue Between a Feminist Mother and an Elementary Schoolchild Son’. △ Books for gender neutral education 3) Korean History, North Korea "Let's see the future through our past." From participation of North and South Korea in a single team during the 2018 Pyeong-Chang Winter Olympic Games and Inter-Korean summits to North Korea–United States Summits, here was a lot of news about North Korea. Therefore, readers' interest in North Korea has “exploded”. According to YES24, sales of books related to North Korea increased 480% compared to the previous year. The influence of these topics has raised interest in history. For example, there are ‘The History of Writing History’ of Yoo Si-min and ‘Seol Min-seok’s The Great Adventure of Korean History’ the history comic book series written by Seol Min-seok, a famous Korean history lecturer. The other multiple history books written by him, are also highly popular: ‘Seol Min-seok’s the Chosun Dynasty’ and ‘Seol Min-seok’s Great Adventure of Reunification’. △ Popular Korean history education books 2. “Art” and “Culture” Among young Korean people recently, the act of getting out of the indifferent modern society and the fierce competition society to regain confused identity appears in a variety of artistic ways. They are largely divided into "knowledge oriented" and "experience oriented”. 1) “Physical Artistic Activities” for Self-Improvement Experience-oriented young people simply want things that require some time and effort. It is said that while doing such a thing, they somehow forget the bad thoughts and anxieties that have been bothering them unconsciously. The ones that help people on the way are ‘Coloring Books’ which remind people of the emotions of the 90s, and its playful extension, ‘Scratch Coloring Books (that engrave printed black board with a sharp pen to complete the paintings)’, which have become so popular and still are released from Kyobo Bookstore to Daiso every year for a huge number of fans worldwide. △ Sorts of popular coloring or drawing books 2) “Knowledgeable Artistic Activities” for Self-Improvement Books about “Art” and “Museum,” have gotten very popular for knowledge-oriented young people in general. Recently, since traveling has becoming a big part of life for them who want to live a YOLO life, they want to remember and feel the romantic Renaissance era in Europe. So that is the reason why they go to the famous art museums like ‘Louvre Museum’, ‘Orsay Museum’, ‘The British Museum’, ‘National Gallery’ and ‘Vatican Museum’ all over Europe. As knowledge has become the most important factor for them, they want to know information and history about the timeless masterpieces displayed in those museums. △ Books about most famous or popular art museums all over Europe At large bookstores, history-related books, which are held as pop-ups, are continuously being sold. It is also worth paying attention to the types of books that young people enjoy to improve their knowledge and thereby improve their self-satisfaction. These types of trendsetters are also divided in two directions. 3) Culture from a Perspective of Literally “Historical Consciousness” The most popular type of books in the cultural element of historical consciousness is poetry. The field of poetry is basically concise and delicate, and it is also difficult to put on the bestseller list in general, as it requires readers to deliver significant and powerful meanings even at that very short moment of reading. Poets that impress and resonate with people along with such elements are said to be very numerous around the world generally. However, only a few poets have expressed Korean historical sentiments in their works. Among them the poet ‘Yoon Dong-joo’, as known as an independence activist in the Japanese occupation period, has recently drawn attention from the media and recently touched the hearts of many Koreans. So some of the major publishers borrowed the original cover design for his signature book ‘The Sky, the Wind, the Stars and the Poems’ and revised the text to make it easier for readers to read, but kept the original text alive to the fullest extent possible so that the meaning of the poem would not be compromised, Sometimes the words or difficult Chinese characters that he did not use have been even more elaborated with footnotes to help readers understand. With such new literary devices, numerous emotions that he felt are conveyed through his work as we read the book. It heals our broken souls and leads to self-reflection and development at the same timeby the abundant thoughts of the young poet that lived in another era. △ Poems of ‘Yoon Dong-joo’ and ‘Yi Yook-sa’, as known as the independence activists. 4) Culture from a Perspective between “History” and “Entertainment” What if this content about history, filled with a little bit more lyrical and sad feelings, contains an "entertainment" element? The recent constant exposure of historical entertaining contents and short documentaries on television to young people completely changed the cultural wave in Korea. Especially, ‘Seol Min-seok,’ a history lecturer who is well known to anyone watching TV in Korea, is also on the bestseller list. His books contain additional content that is slightly different from what he says on TV. So for the people who don’t really like TV much, his books are a perfect tool to enjoy his words about history. His representative works include ‘The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty’ and ‘The History of the Integration of the Republic of Korea’ △ Korean history book of the famous history lecturer ‘Seol Min-seok’ Sources: http://ch.yes24.com/Article/View/37588 https://www.kyobobook.co.kr/bestSellerNew/bestseller.laf http://news.kyobobook.co.kr/it_life/specialView.ink?sntn_id=13717&expr_sttg_dy=20171205150400 https://www.aladin.co.kr/shop/common/wbest.aspx?BestType=YearlyBest&BranchType=1&CID=0&Year=2018 http://book.interpark.com/display/collectlist.do?_method=bestsellerHourNew&bookblockname=b_gnb&booklinkname=%BA%A3%BD%BA%C6%AE%C1%B8&bid1=bgnb_mn&bid2=LiveRanking&bid3=main&bid4=001# http://www.kyobobook.co.kr/categoryRenewal/categoryMain.laf?linkClass=19&mallGb=KOR&orderClick=dad http://www.kyobobook.co.kr/categoryRenewal/categoryMain.laf?linkClass=23&mallGb=KOR&orderClick=dap https://www.aladin.co.kr/shop/wbrowse.aspx?CID=517&start=we_header https://www.aladin.co.kr/shop/wbrowse.aspx?CID=656 http://www.yes24.com/24/Category/Display/001001007 http://www.yes24.com/24/Category/Display/001001019
