Evolution Korea South Korea's democracy is prone to populist inclinations. It's still better than expected. The country is searching for a new development paradigm. The Confucian culture, which stresses respect for ancestors and as well as gendered family relationships, continues to influence the society. But there are signs that a secularist culture is beginning to emerge. Origins During prehistoric times the ancestors of modern Koreans survived by hunting and gathering wild food. Around 10,000 years ago they began to cultivate millet and beans as well as other crops. They also raised livestock and made furs. They established tribal states in Manchuria and later on the Korean peninsula. They also created an industry of metalworking, making bronze tools, and later iron ones. They traded with other states and introduced cedon, paper making, block printing, art styles and writing to Japan. In 2333 BCE Gojoseon was established in the southern region of the peninsula. The state adopted Chinese culture, including Confucian Philosophy and Buddhism. At this time the people of Buyeo were incorporated into Gojoseon. Gojoseon was a state that was hierarchical with the monarch and top officials came from the aristocracy of the land, whereas the rest of its population were peasants. The state extracted taxes from these citizens and sometimes required them to fight in the army or work on government projects such as building fortifications. At the close of this period the state of Baekje was founded by Onjo who was a prince of Goguryeo and was the son of Jumong who was the founder of Goguryeo. This new kingdom expanded its territory into the southwest of the peninsula and clashed with Goguryeo and China's commanderies in the area. Baekje introduced elements of Confucian thinking into its state belief system and made the male-centric filiopiety concept an official doctrine in 1390 CE. In the name of filiopiety, fathers were accountable to their families and they must be respected and obeyed by all, including their children and grandchildren. Goryeo, a country which ruled from 918 until 1392 CE in the year 1392 CE, introduced to the world the Hangul Alphabet based on the patterns created by the mouth when pronouncing. This greatly improved communication and led to a boom in the writing of Buddhist text. In addition, movable metal type printing was introduced, and woodblock printing was refined. In 1145 CE the Samguk Sagi, or “History of the Three Kingdoms” was recorded for the first time. The evolution of Korea The Korean peninsula was inhabited from Neolithic times until. Early evidence of human settlements is evident in the form of graves that were lined with stone, and decorated with precious items such as amazonite jewelry being buried alongside the dead. Megalithic structures, also known as dolmens and constructed of single large stones, are common in the country. Gojoseon became the first political state to be recognized during the first half of the 1st millennium BCE. After that the peninsula was ruled by several states during the Three Kingdoms period (57 BC- 635 CE) including Baekje, Goguryeo, and Silla. Additionally, the northern part of the peninsula was occupied by the Balhae kingdom, which the majority of historians do not believe to be a valid Korean state. Following the Three Kingdoms, several smaller states emerged during the Proto-Three Kingdoms period, or Several States Period (yeolgugsidae). Baekje is the most powerful of these states, was weakened by the collapse of Goguryeo (676 CE) and was left with only its southern territories in Manchuria and the the western region around Hwanghae Bay. Eastern Buyeo, and the Gaya confederacy, prospered for a short period of time. The Unified Silla kingdom then emerged and the three kingdoms began to collaborate in order to expand their territory. Silla with the aid of the Chinese, eventually conquered and united the peninsula in 935. As Korea enters a post-crisis phase the way it develops appears to be changing. People who are shocked by the cost of the old systems are in favor of a comprehensive plan for liberalization of labor, capital and product markets. On the other hand those who support the old system seek to protect it by using nationalist sentiments and generating fear about job losses. The academic and policy analysts remain starkly divided as to the extent to the extent that these two trends are driving Koreas development towards an entirely new model of economic governance. This article reviews developments to date, by looking at five phases of Korea's political development that include democratic illiberalism (1945-60) democratic authoritarianism (1961-72), authoritarian exceptionalism (1972-87) democratic paternalism (1987-2001) and democratic participation (2002 to the present). This article also identifies important factors that appear to be shaping these processes. Creationism in Korea In South Korea, 26% of the population is Christian. Creationists have made progress in promoting their views to this segment. A 2009 survey showed that nearly one-third of respondents did not believe in evolution. Of the respondents, 41% believed that there was no scientific evidence to support the theory 39% believed it was contrary to their religious beliefs, and 17% said they did not know what it meant. This level of disbelief approaches that in the United States, where a majority of people do not believe that humans evolved from earlier species of life. In the past, most of the anti-evolutionist movement in Korea was focused on teaching college students and leading them to Christ. An increase in the interest in creation science occurred in 1980, with a four-day seminar held during the World Evangelization Crusade in Seoul that featured Drs. Henry Morris and Duane Gish of ICR as the main speakers. This event was attended by a large audience of professors, scientists, and church leaders. The success of this event led to the founding of the Korea Association of Creation Research (KACR) on January 31st 1981. The inaugural meeting was widely covered in national newspapers, including The Korea Times and Chosun Ilbo and received wide attention. KACR started publishing a newsletter titled CREATION. In it, the organization presented its own work and published articles on the scientific evidence supporting creationism. It also translated film strips and slides from ICR as well as a few books on creationism which were published outside of Korea. KACR members delivered lectures in churches and universities throughout the country. A KACR success was observed at the KAIST University in Seoul. Students at KAIST in Seoul were fascinated by creationism that they raised money and got funding to build a small creationist museum on campus. In addition to its activities, KACR has published a bimonthly magazine called CREATION. The magazine covers a variety of topics that pertain to the science of creation. It also sponsored a series lectures by ICR staff. 에볼루션사이트 has local branches that hold seminars and present talks to school children and other community groups. Evolution in South Korea In the latter half of the 19th century and beginning of 20th, Korea moved toward a Westernised lifestyle. The traditional Korean dress, the hanbok, was replaced with miniskirts and other foreign fashion elements. The traditional Korean music was also replaced by rock and roll and jazz. During this period the famous samulnori, also known as masked dancing-dramas were very popular. These dramatic pieces were performed to the beat of shaman drums and other instruments of music. Korea's new development model is being formed in the wake of the economic crisis. The biggest challenge facing the new regime is to strike a balance between state-led and market-oriented economic policies. It also requires changing incentives, monitoring, or discipline schemes that have been a part of the system prior the crisis. These issues are addressed in Chapters 3 & 4. Established by Onjo, prince of Goguryeo and the third son of Jumong, Baekje was established in the middle of the Hangang River, those from Buyeo and other areas and immigrants from northern China. Baekje, one of the major regional powers in the 4th century, expanded its territory to Mahan in north and Jeollanam-do south. The kingdom was in constant conflict with Goguryeo and the Chinese commanderies on the border. The decline of Silla in the 8th and early 9th centuries allowed strong local factions to emerge. Gungye was a nobleman from Later Baekje who established a kingdom in Songak with Songak as the capital. He controlled a part of the present-day Jeolla province as well as Chungcheong. Then, he moved the capital to Wansanju and became a rival to Goguryeo. However, his rule was short-lived. After Gungye's defeat, he was overthrown by a powerful local leader, Wang Geon, who united Goryeo with Baekje and Silla in 935. Later, Baekje was peacefully incorporated into Goryeo as a successor state. Wang Geon also introduced fundamental reforms and strengthened the centralized ruling system. This marked the end of the Three Kingdoms period. From that point on the Korean peninsula was controlled by the Goryeo Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms Period, Goguryeo Baekje Silla gradually grew into powerful states on the peninsula and in Manchuria.
