Gangs Problem in Korea

Gangs Problem in Korea

 I think we learned a lot about gangs problem in korea in the last presentation. The presentation reminded us about the seriousness of the problem. There are 167 teams of gangs in korea. More than ten thousand people are on gangs. So, gangs are in their golden days now. In my opinion, there are three important problems of gangs in korea.

 

 First, gangs have terrorized the citizen's daily lives. I heard that gangs extort money from many local businesses. Particularly worrying is the rise of youth gangs. Threatening and taking money from non-gang members and younger students are the main activities of these gangs. I think that police should make a greater effort to catch gangs and the korean government should consider tightening of laws to protect citizens from gangs.

 

 Second, most of korean gangs are working as mortgage lenders and raise the funds. Even they manipulated the stock price. Gangs have spread to all cities and have permeated law enforcement bodies. I think that means some of senior officials are implicated in the problem. If we can not solve this problem as soon as possible, the problem pose a serious threat to the national security.

 

 Third, nowadays there are many kinds of gang movies. I want to say the problem in korean movie. Because korean gangs look like nice and cool in korean movies. So, some teenagers want to be a gang or imitate gangs' behavior from korean gang movies. However, being involved in a gang can be a threat to oneself and to those around him or her. If movies dealing with gangs have recently been making high profits, movie companies should consider mass Communication's influence to teenagers.

 

 I really worry about Copycat crime that continues to be a growing problem for many teenagers and youth. I want korean government and police round up every gangs that have an effect on korean economy and korean citizens as soon as possible. When we solve the problems, Korea can be a better nation to live.

Personal Information Leakage

Personal Information Leakage

 I think we learned a lot about personal information leakage in the last presentation. The presentation reminded us about the seriousness of the problem. In the online age, something of far greater value can be stolen, your identity. From my previous experience, Action and SK(Nate) have suffered with personal information leaks. I'm one of the victims of personal information leaks. We urgently need to supplement policies to prevent the leaking of private information. How can we reduce the chances of identity theft?

 

 First, I think the problems are the service providers that always require the personal information from us. However actually they do not need the information to provide their services in most cases. My suggestion to prevent the leakage of personal information is that if you needed to use some services on an unreliable web site, You should always remove your personal information after using on the web site.

 

 Second, when anyone touts sampling about a new product or service for you at the street and on the web site, you must not provide your information like cell phone number, e-mail address etc. Log off to make sure that nobody can plagiarize your personal information. Don’t share personal information in instant messages.

 

 Finally, I suggest to use a personal security service and periodically check your identity theft status. You can use the Google's account instead of accounts of the korean companies like Nate, Naver and Daum that they need our personal information.

 

 I think above all is the best ways but as you know, it is not enough for us to feel safe. These days, our government officially announced that web service provider for personals can't gather the social security number from its users. The policy will be useful.
