Education Fever: Society, Politics, and the Pursuit of Schooling in South Korea

Fri, 09 May 2008 16:07:09 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

In terms of economics, political science, and sociology, increases in education have been shown to bolster economic development and politically mobilize the public. The South Korean case, with its rapid economic growth since the 1960s and the shift to democratization in the 1980s, is a strong example supporting this claim.

This will show that South Korean education has dramatically improved from 40 years ago. The government of South Korea is supporting innovation and political freedom in the schools. posted by livvy93

Gateway to Korea: Economy & Business

Thu, 01 May 2008 14:28:12 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Over the last three decades, the Republic of Korea has achieved what is widely acclaimed as "the economic miracle on the Hang-gang River." Since Korea embarked on economic development in earnest in 1962, its economy has grown at one of the fastest paces in the world. As a result, Korea, long one of the world's poorest agrarian societies, has emerged as an upper middle-income, fast-industrializing country.

BBC NEWS | Business | South Korean economy slows down

Thu, 01 May 2008 14:23:24 -0000

Comments:

yo, this site is popin like lil mama lip gloss! posted by alex66

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Gross domestic product grew 0.7% from the previous quarter, down from the 1.6% expansion seen at the end of 2007.

Falling exports were largely to blame for the quarterly slowdown along with weak consumer spending.

President Lee Myung-bak took office in February promising to boost annual growth to 7% - it grew 5% in 2007.

The investment bank Goldman Sachs said it was keeping its growth forecast for the full year at 4.8% despite the weak quarterly figures.

It predicted the government's programme of tax-cuts and deregulation would boost growth while the weak currency would help exporters.

Inflation figures were also released on Friday, with consumer prices rising 3.9% in the year to the end of March.

That figure is above the government's target of between 2.5% and 3.5% for the fourth month running.

many invasions by larger neighbors in 2000 years of existence/// Repelled numerous foreign invasions posted by dekker28

1910- Japan began 35 year period of colonial rule over Korea/// Many older Koreans stil hold a grudge against Japan posted by dekker28

Japan's surrender to the Allied Powers in 1945, signaling the end of World War II, only further embroiled Korea in foreign rivalries.

On June 25, 1950, North Korean forces invaded South Korea

The war left almost three million Koreans dead or wounded and millions of others homeless and separated from their families.

The Second Republic under the leadership of Chang Myon ended after only one year, when Major General Park Chung-hee led a military coup. Park's rule, which resulted in tremendous economic growth and development but increasingly restricted political freedoms, ended with his assassination in 1979

. Subsequently, a powerful group of military officers, led by Lieutenant General Chun Doo Hwan, declared martial law and took power.

throughout the Park and Chun eras, there were many strong protests against the authorities, led by students and labor union activists posted by dekker28

movements reached a climax after Chun's 1979 coup and declaration of martial law.

Thereafter, pro-democracy activities intensified even more, ultimately forcing political concessions by the government in 1987, including the restoration of direct presidential elections.

In 1987, Roh Tae-woo, a former general, was elected president

1992 election of a long-time pro-democracy activist, Kim Young-sam. Kim became Korea's first civilian elected president in 32 years.

Former business executive and Mayor of Seoul Lee Myung-bak's 5-year term begins with his inauguration on February 25, 2008.
