It is a certain fact that animals have become familiar to all of us as there are more than 100,000 people who have pets in their home. However, cruel abuse exists under the superiority of humans in the coexistence of bonding between humans and animals. Animal abuse is generally defined as every act that cases unnecessary or unreasonable harm to animals that is not for the reasons of self-defense or survival. Animal cruelty is a serious problem because it is not just confined to simply the strong harming the weak. The two biggest problems are that animal maltreatment has a negative influence on our society and the other is people might overlook the danger of abuse, not acknowledging the victims are also valuable members of society. It is very unethical behavior to abuse and kill weak and incapable of speech animals because of human’s outpouring of emotion. In addition, torturing animals can be an indicator of murder and all kinds of violence later in life. In fact, many criminals who commit brutal crimes confessed that they stabbed and hit animals a long time before committing their actual crimes. In Korea, we often hear about the cases of harming and killing animals on the news. Vicious incidents, for example, cutting tail of a stray cat, beating a dog to death, throwing a cat out of high-rise apartment, killing ex-girlfriend’s pet still occur these days. Animal abuse happens as a result of a way of thinking that makes light of life and unthoughtful mindset toward animals. Some people think the existence of animals is only for satisfying human’s convenience and needs but it is a completely anthropocentric point of view. A while ago, animals were just hunting targets for humans but now they have become partner with humans as pets and companions. In the USA, they take severe disciplinary action against those who treat animals cruelly, but in Korea, it is only a slap on the wrist. Fortunately, the current government in Korea seems to make an effort to improve the rights of animal. It is expected that a law prohibiting animal abuse that was pointless so far, will be revised to strengthen punishment and define regulations very clearly under the name of “Super animal abuse prohibition”. It enables any abused animals to be rescued emergency, imposing business cancellation or suspension to corporations cruel to animals and restricting pet ownership to animal abusers. Moreover, ill-treatment acts will be classified in detail. The category will be expanded to killing, assault, abandonment and mistreatment. Especially, a person who kill animals will be sent to jail for under three years or fined 5,000,000 won to 30,000,000 won. There is no society where only humans exist. We and animals has been living under the same sky, stepping on same land and breathe the same air. All living things on earth should live in harmony. People must not abuse animals just because they have the mere precedence over animals. Respecting life is not only for animals but it is also for us as well. KU 영자신문 [Review] Black Swan KU 영자신문 [Review] Hidden Masterpieces in K-POP KU 영자신문 [Review] My Private List of Books KU 영자신문 [Review] Wake up the Sports Monster Inside You KU 영자신문 [Special Interview] Time for a new leap of KU 1. Please give your greetings to the KU student. As our university has passed through crisis for the past four years, an important time now comes when we have to relax the conflict and focus together to take care of each other. As a result of this, I feel burdened by the major task I have taken on as a president. I promise I will try to lead Konkuk University (KU) towards becoming a prestigious institution and boost our sense of pride. 2. How can you evaluate KU in your role as president? Our university has great potential. Nonetheless, the capacities and benefits of KU have been distributed for four years. In the long run, this damage would affect the students. Moreover, in the situation of equating tuition fee, other universities were selected in the business of the nation to get finances for their universities. To overcome these situations, starting from the Prime Project, we have an opportunity for the development of KU. From now on, high quality programs of education allow professors and students to have self-confidence and a “we can do it” attitude. 3. In your pledge, you emphasized the importance of communicating with students. How will you proceed with communicating with students? I think it is important to clearly communicate with each other and this is something I am very familiar with. The Communication Commission is comprised of the General Student Association (GSA) and each college is founded and operated. To confirm communication with each college, I will need to ask the deans about the progress. 4. You announced pledge to expand the finances by 10 billion won. What direction is the pledge processing? Places such as the building of Veterinary Medicine and KU Language Institute can make a profit. If various educational programs are made and receive a positive response, it will maximize earnings. Moreover, we are scheduled to apply projects that the nation is running. It is guaranteed to get finances. Furthermore, because of the geographical position of KU, companies are taking an interest to make donations. It is also helpful to make affiliated organization realized and it is possible to commercialize certain areas off study and research. 5. What do you think about the dilapidated facilities of the College of Liberal Arts and Education which needs much improvement? In my opinion, improving the Humanities institution (Liberal Arts & Education) is the first thing we must do with the finances of KU. Through donation, finances are being collected and the position of the Humanities institution will be situated in the original place of the college of Education. 6. There are concerns that budget of Prime is focused on the newly created major and it is powerful push of only one major. Please tell about this. It is a misconception. Prime budget will be also supportive in the existing majors. However, as new department has difficulties early on, it needs more supportive finances. If other departments succeed in more higher employment by collaborating professors and students, many finances about one billion will be offered. 7. How will KU change in the future? After four years, our university will become more respected and prestigious and that will make students have pride. I am sure everyone’s satisfaction about education will be high. KU 영자신문 [Think & Talk] Is Abortion Rightful or Awful? KU 영자신문 [Think & Talk] Is It a Duty to Leave Seats Empty for Pregnant Women? KU 영자신문 [Think & Talk] Shall We Go Out? Do you know about blind date applications? Maybe you have seen their advertisements at least once. It has become one of the places where people meet and start their love. Applications introduce you to new people and then you choose the person you want to meet among them. When someone asks you to meet and you are not satisfied with them, they can also reject the suggestion. If man and woman are both satisfied to each other, they can open a chat room. Then, they can share their real phone number for more contact. Do you think you can meet your real partner this way? There are some couples who met there and eventually get married. However, there are some people who use it as a tool of crime. What do you think about people trying to find their love through blind date applications? Is it good or bad? We have collected the opinions of Konkuk University students. Let us hear their opinions together. Good Choi Min-ki / Junior / Division of Interdisciplinary Studies I agree with using the blind date application. Nowadays people are so busy studying and working. But if they use this application, they could save time to find partners and it would be convenient. Especially in case of free application, people can make relationship for free. I know that meeting using application can be dangerous. However, people using this application exchange their personal information among themselves. And by this reason, I think that they are already aware of dangers. Also, when introvert people utilize this application, they can break barriers and meet others by overcoming shyness. Moreover, I saw my acquaintance who met her boyfriend using a blind date application. Although there is possibility of failure, it is able people to have serious relationships. Park Yu-jin, / Senior / English Language & Literature I agree that blind date application can make mate. I have heard about the application and I saw many people using them. In case of Amanda application, detailed identity needs to be certified. So, it has good reputation and people use this with trust. Although there are strange and bad applications, if people use good application and recognize carefully, people will get a fine mate. People can filter application that has bad intention. To users, it should be necessary choice. Blind date that relates acquaintances has restriction. However, blind date application has less restriction and it depends on the user’s mind whether they will go on a blind date or not. With application, people can look for their mate without acquaintances. Moreover, I can see couples around me developing into serious relationships after using blind date application and often, they have better results. Jeon Seong-il/ Freshman / Systems Biotechnology Major I think blind date application is appropriate to meet one’s love. It is not a bad way if you don’t have a matchmaker around and if you really believe you could fall in true love. When timid person demands blind date, he or she hesitates. On the other hand, without worrying, a person can go on a blind date through application. Also, through the application, a person can meet another person that fits their qualification. Among many people, they can meet their ideal type. Moreover, using an application can meet various people without limitation. Therefore, people will have high and rapid possibility to meet their mate. Lastly, most application makers make blind date application. So if users use application with right purpose, one’s love will approach. Bad Jeong Youn-bi / Senior / Department of Biological Engineering I have not used the application of blind date, but I think that it is dangerous to use. Since people can deceive other people by uploading false information, data provided by this application is unreliable. And users don’t know about the people who they are going to meet. Consequently, there is high probability for crime. And the relationship made by the application cannot be serious. Users don’t contemplate about their partner to love and meet anyone. Thus, it is an irrational method to make relationships. Of course, there are many people feeling difficulty to build human relations. However, using the application to overcome their problem is not a fundamental measure. In addition, it is a kind of making relations because they meet new people on a blind date. Therefore, I think that they should seek for more fundamental measures so it cannot be a reason to use the application of blind date. Kim Sung-bin/Material Science Engineering/Senior I heard about the blind date application, and even my acquaintance used it many times. According to his story, he met a woman from that application and before long, they got close to each other. Their relation, however, didn’t last long because of their characters were so different. They even went to the police station because of their dispute. All other cases’ results are similar to this. In a roundabout way, I have an experience of blind date application and I know the side effect of it. The application is optimized to modern men who wants casual meeting. They can use it for their enjoyment in a moment. Therefore, people like me who want to meet partners seriously should avoid these applications. I think this application should be accessed carefully considering to the purpose of the user. I am against to use this application, of course. Ryou Song-hee/Industrial Design/Senior I have never used a blind date application, and I am sure that I will not use it in the future also. The reason that I think blind date application is inappropriate is because it would be hard to develop the relationship into a deeper concept since it is the first time meeting with total strangers. Also, leakage of personal information could occur due to the characteristic of the application. By showing our information on the application, anyone could have access and it could lead to serious effects. Moreover, there are chances for people to use the application for bad reasons. Lastly, people can judge others’ appearance by looking at the photos that they upload, and I think it could be a big humiliation for those who become the subject of it.
