Politics Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Politics Putin`s Church; The Russian Orthodox Church and the new Tsar Politics 12/14/2023 Share Daniel Jo For centuries since Tsar Ivan IV`s forceful subordination of the Orthodox Church, and precisely 302 years since Peter the Great's Church Reforms that brought the end of the Patriarchate of Moscow and the very position of the Patriarch of Moscow for 196 years, and ushered in an era nearly two centuries long, where the Tsar or the Imperator reigned as the supreme authority of the church with the aid of the Most Holy Synod, a council of bishops and lay bureaucrats appointed to deal with the church matters under the Tsarist Autocracy. Now, with the ever-increasing support of the Russian Orthodox Church to Putin and his plans, it seems that that era has come back. The Orthodox Church in Russia, and the succeeding Russian Orthodox Church, has had a turbulent history. Although the Patriarchate of Moscow was reinstated in 1917 under the All-Russian Local Council after the fall of the centuries-old Tsardom. However, after the defeat of the White Movement in the Russian Civil War of 1917~1921 had brought the Soviet ‘Reds’ to power, and under the enforcement of a state atheism, the Orthodox Church was repressed. Between the years of 1922 to 1926 alone, following the expropriation of church property, 28 Russian Orthodox bishops and more than 1,200 priests of the Orthodox church were killed, with many more persecuted and arrested. During the Great Purge, it was no different, more clergy and believers were brutally persecuted, killed, or sent to the dreaded Gulag work camps. However, after the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 had brought back the Orthodox Church, still an integral part of Russian society, out into the open once more, where it would be powerfully influencing everyday Russians. With this factor in mind, it is no wonder that Putin, during his tenure as President and Prime Minister, have encouraged and aided the Orthodox Church to regain their prominence. With new churches being built, whilst bells and icons lost from the communist era were returned to their former homes of the church. Furthermore, the close alignment of the Orthodox Church regarding state education, and the popular media, especially the values of nationalism and strong religious beliefs have certainly benefited the formerly-shunned Orthodox Church. This, combined with the Putin-led reconciliation of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia-the living legacy of the Russian Orthodox Church and its clergy that managed to go into exile, have satisfied the Church plenty enough. And in return, this symbiotic relationship of sorts goes both ways. The Orthodox Church has supported Putin back in the matters regarding religious support and influence, helping him and his de facto party-United Russia. Furthermore, the current Patriarch Kiril has been constantly supporting Putin`s ventures in Ukraine since the beginning of the invasion since it began on 24 February 2022, praising the Russian Armed Forces, and the Russian war effort in general, and scarcely one year later, on February 26th, 2023, he has even gone to state that Donbass, in fact, belong to Russia. Overall, this symbiotic relationship between Putin and the Church evokes the memory back to the era of the Tsarist Autocracy, where religion was used to justify the autocratic rule of the Tsar. And currently, it truly does look like the Russian Orthodox Church has indeed found their new Tsar.

Science Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Big Bang and the Birth of the Universe Science 14 To this day, there are still countless theories, beliefs, and stories created seeking to explain our understanding of how the universe was created. Curiosity has been the main drive for all of these proofs, definitions, and beliefs. It has made our ancestors ponder “How old is the universe?”, “Who created it?”, and “How did we come to be?”. These complicated and hard-to-grasp questions have yet to be confirmed but our history on this planet has led to plausible explanations on the birth of our universe. Out of all the theories, explanations, and proofs that have been developed over the course of our history on this planet, the most popular and widely accepted explanation is the Big Bang Theory. The Big Bang theory talks about how our universe started off as a small, hot, and infinitely dense point that exploded with unimaginable force to the ever expanding universe we know today over billions of years. The idea behind the big bang is that our universe started off with an explosion more than 14 billion years ago and that everything in our universe and possibly others, come from the same extremely dense point. According to the evidence presented by Georges Lemaitre in 1927, the universe is still expanding, even at this very second at 73 kilometers per second per megaparsec. Although the cause for this expansion is unknown and scientists have yet to prove this theory by peering back into the universe’s birth, much of our understanding comes from mathematical formulas and models. Much of the proof for this theory also stems from seeing the “echo” of this expansion, also known as the cosmic microwave background. The cosmic microwave background (CBM) is leftover radiation from the Big Bang or when the universe began. As the theory goes, the universe went through periods of rapid inflation where the temperature of the universe was unimaginably high, to expansion, and to cooling phases where the temperature dropped drastically. The CBM represents the heat leftover from the Big Bang displayed through thermal energy coming from all parts of the sky. Although you can’t see CMB with your naked eye, with a sufficiently sensitive radio telescope, you can detect a faint background glow that is almost uniform and not associated with any star, planet, or other object in the universe. This radiation is often believed by most scientists as the “shockwave” for the explosion that is still visible around all planets, stars, galaxies, and galaxy clusters. Although the Big Bang Theory is the most plausible explanation for the birth of our universe, more evidence is expected to be discovered in the future about the birth of our universe and whether the Big Bang Theory is what caused our universe's birth. 2023/04/23 Share Junghye Park Works Cited > News Science Robinson Review Favorites A Review of Alternative Bottleless Water Ooho Dongha Kim Three Reasons Why the U.S. Shot Down the Chinese Spy Balloon Seunghyeon Lee How Truly Significant Is the Collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank on the U.S. Economy?

Economics Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Economics Is ESG (Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance) Dying in the Corporate and Investing World Economics 12/15/2023 Share Chaeyi Ku (Stella) ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance) has undeniably been a central talking point within corporate and investment circles. However, a discernible transformation is underway in how ESG is perceived and prioritized. While there was initially a strong emphasis on sustainability and social responsibility, a trend that leans more towards prioritizing short-term financial gains is emerging. Investors, too, are shifting their focus towards traditional financial metrics, diverting attention from the broader ESG considerations. One noteworthy aspect of this shift is the ongoing evolution of ESG metrics themselves. Faced with economic challenges, companies are strategically reducing their commitments to environmental and social initiatives. In some instances, there is a growing concern that certain companies are utilizing ESG more as a marketing tool than a genuine commitment to responsible business practices, thereby raising questions about the credibility of ESG reporting. It is essential to acknowledge that while ESG is not fading away, the spotlight on it is transforming. Understanding the underlying reasons for this shift is crucial. Economic pressures and a desire for short-term gains play a role. However, it is also essential to recognize the potential consequences of de-prioritizing long-term sustainability and social responsibility. As businesses navigate these changes, balancing financial performance and ethical considerations becomes increasingly challenging, requiring a nuanced approach to corporate decision-making. In essence, the evolving landscape of ESG demands a careful examination of the motives behind the shift and a thoughtful consideration of the implications for the future of responsible business practices.

Weekdays, Month Day, Year 00 °c Log In RR X CI Workshop Four Fun and Educational Ghibli Movies, Best Choice for Spending Your Time Productively. Share Photo by Afif Ramdhasuma on Unsplash Share Harin Lim Leisure time is a privilege provided to most students, yet the manner in which they choose to spend this time varies greatly, often influenced by their productivity, personal interests, and perspectives. While many students consider studying to be the most beneficial use of their time, there are alternative pursuits that can offer both educational value and entertainment. Watching Ghibli films is one example. Ghibli films have garnered global acclaim for their ability to captivate audiences of all ages. No matter of gender, race, or age everyone is able to enjoy the films without burden. These films tackle themes that are not only engaging but also instructional, which makes them an ideal choice for students who are trying to acquire knowledge and get amused at the same time. This article recommends four Ghibli films that can serve as both enjoyable and educational for students wishing to make the most of their leisure time. First and foremost, Kiki’s Delivery Service stands out as one of the most impactful Ghibli films viewers rate. The plot is about a young witch named Kiki who is in her quest to become a mature and proficient witch and embarks on an adventure to a coastal village. Initially, Kiki uses her broomstick to navigate her ways, but she eventually loses her ability to fly, causing her to get significantly distressed. This film shows the efforts to regain her confidence and overcome this challenge. This story conveys a vital lesson for growing students which is perseverance in the face of adversity. Many students, particularly those at Chadwick International, encounter various challenges in their academic and personal journeys. Whether struggling with a complex math problem, writing assignment, or overcoming obstacles in extracurricular activities, students would be able to succeed not from avoiding difficulty but from the persistence to continue despite setbacks. The film inspires viewers to keep on working towards their goals, reinforcing the value of resilience in overcoming life's hard situations. Another recommendation is Castle in the Sky. The story focuses on a girl named Sheeta and a boy named Pazu as they support each other to protect a mysterious pendant that holds the key to the floating castle of Laputa. As they are pursued by corrupt military agents led by the villainous Colonel Muska, Sheeta and Pazu use their collaboration to protect their pendant. Despite being young and inexperienced, Sheeta and Pazu manage to outsmart the military agents through clever schemes, such as hiding the pendant in a fake crystal to trick their enemies. For students, Castle in the Sky underscores the significance of collaboration in achieving common goals. In both academic and extracurricular settings, students are often required to work together. Hence, this film can provide an instructive lesson to students l on the importance of high-quality teamwork, creativity, and mutual support. Thirdly, Howl’s Moving Castle offers an enchanting exploration of love and makes it a film that deeply resonates with students. The story follows Sophie, a young girl who is cursed to be the form of an old woman. Then, Sophie finds out the solitary scheme to cease the war between the two major kingdoms is to break the deep curse of Howl. Thus, by Sophie and Howl sharing a strong bond of love with each other, Sophie is able to break the curse of Howl. This narrative shows the indivisible power of love that can be used to aid problems. Students in Chadwick International could learn about the importance of love by watching this film since love is a crucial factor that fosters empathy and understanding towards one another. Showing love leads to stronger and more supportive relationships. It can lead to active listening and generate a space for diverse perspectives. Therefore, students would be able to create a more inclusive and compassionate academic atmosphere, where people feel free to express ideas and ask questions without fear. Lastly, Spirited Away also contributes to films that can be very meaningful for many. Spirited Away is about a girl called Chihiro who gets abandoned in a Spirit World when her parents are transformed into pigs after eating food only for spirits. She stayed at the Spirit World, working in a bathhouse as a job, and met Haku. Haku kept on supporting Chihiro and Chihiro was able to get her name back and return to the Human world. Before leaving, Haku tells her that they both share a deep bond with each other and will somehow meet each other again in the Human World later, but they won’t remember each other. This can teach students a lesson about identities. Identities can help students increase their self-confidence and motivation. Students at Chadwick would be able to reflect on themselves and boost their academics by acknowledging their identities. It can help them work harder in academics. For example, a student who is confident in their environmental background such as culture, religion, or race may feel more comfortable participating in discussions, asking questions, or expressing their ideas, leading to better engagement with their studies. Thus, watching Ghibli films can be beneficial especially for students because it can develop students’ mindsets, perspectives, and personal benefits. Hence, I would like for students in our community to spend time watching Ghibli films both for their development and entertainment.

Opinion Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Future of Formula 1 Opinion Share Yechan Kim 2022/03/29 Works Cited > News 0 2022/03/29 Formula 1 is considered to be one of the most expensive sports in the world. One Formula 1 racing car costs a few hundred million dollars. Worldwide motor brands such as Ferrari, Red Bull, and Mercedes. The sport is full of controversy since the performance of each car and team is determined by the amount of wealth put into the car. With the development of technology over the years, teams that have been able to follow the trend and adopt new restrictions set by the FIA every year have survived the competition. Mercedes is a team that has been dominating the sport since 2014 when Lewis Hamilton won his personal 2nd and his 1st world championship as a driver for Mercedes. Mercedes' powerful engine and skillful drivers have helped them to win the Constructor's Cup for the last 8 consecutive years. Lewis Hamilton won his 7th world championship in the 2020 F1 season, which is a tied record for the most world championships by a single player with Michael Schumacher, Ferrari's legendary driver who is considered to be the greatest Formula driver of all time. Lewis Hamilton had a chance to win his 8th world championship in the 2021 F1 season, which he wasn't able to do. Hamilton surpassed Michael Schumacher in most individual accomplishments, as he has more pole positions and races won. But with a decision by the FIA and their race director Michael Masi that is impossible to understand, Lewis Hamilton was robbed of his title in the last match of the season. Lewis Hamilton began his race against Max Verstappen, leading the race until the last laps of the race. The collision between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen in the first lap was not reviewed, although Hamilton ran off the track and gained 1st place. Until the last lap of the race, the decisions of the FIA seemed to be on point and fair, as it was a battle between two great drivers. It is true that Max Verstappen has a very aggressive playstyle, but he deserved his position in the championship position being a great driver. However, during the last lap, while Lewis Hamilton was about 8 seconds ahead of Max Verstappen on hard tires, and more than 5 lapped cars were in between Hamilton and Verstappen, FIA's decision was something that would receive criticism. Due to Latifi's crash into the wall, a safety car was activated to manage and regulate the situation. However, with Michael Masi letting all the lapped cars pass, and leaving Max Verstappen open to getting right next to Lewis Hamilton, it seemed that the winner was already decided. Mercedes and their strategy would've worked perfectly, although not pitting to change tires. This allowed Verstappen to easily overtake Lewis Hamilton with only 1 lap left, not even giving a chance for Lewis Hamilton. The situation was manipulated in the hands of the FIA, and Lewis Hamilton has robbed his 8th world championship, although winning the Constructor Cup once again. The FIA did not investigate this situation, although it was a championship-deciding situation, and made the decision of firing Michael Masia as the race director in the 2022 offseason. This may seem like an act of admitting the mistake FIA made against Lewis Hamilton in the 2021 season and is quite hard to understand as a fan of Formula 1. A more strict and standardized rule should be set by the FIA, instead of listening to the managers of the teams. It was also suspicious that from this season, team managers were being banned from talking to the FIA directly in incidents. These acts just seem to be admitting the mistake FIA made in 2021, and the future of F1 and its rules are questionable Robinson Review Favorites A Review of Alternative Bottleless Water Ooho Dongha Kim Three Reasons Why the U.S. Shot Down the Chinese Spy Balloon Seunghyeon Lee How Truly Significant Is the Collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank on the U.S. Economy?

Monthly Edition: November Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Monthly Edition: November Did the Fukushima Disaster only have detrimental effects on fisheries? Monthly Edition: November 12/16/2023 Share Wonjun Son, Jiyu Sohn, Sungyeol Choi Since the 2011 tsunami wave, more than a million tons of wastewater have remained in Japan. On August 24, 2023, Japan started its initial plan to discharge the wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean, which will take over approximately 30 years. This precarious plan from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been highly controversial in the local communities of Japan, with those apprehensive about contamination. The Fukushima discharge impacted the local businesses, especially fisheries. Fisheries have experienced several detrimental effects, but they also showed improvements learned through this disaster. The controversial topic of consuming seafood after the discharge has been largely debated among Asian countries. With the discharge of Fukushima water, fisheries in nations around Japan have been largely affected with a great drop in sales and less consumer attraction. For instance, according to the Chinese authorities, “ Imports of Japanese seafood fell 67.6% in August from the same month last year” (BBC). China being the largest importing country of Japanese seafood in Asia, the vast impact of this sudden drop led to a crucial flaw in both Chinese and Japanese economics. Indeed, according to surveys from the New York Times, many fish business locals have expressed their concern about their future in selling seafood with the name of Japan. In addition, when people were asked about their opinion on buying seafood after the discharge, many Korean citizens responded maybe or strongly no to buying seafood that is exported from the area of Fukushima (ScienceDirect). However, it is undoubtedly true that the ocean current carrying the wastewater won’t massively affect Korea and China. Furthermore, even after the incident in 2011 in Fukushima, the export in Japan “with an increase of 63.2%” proved that the discharge would not have a negative contribution to the overall economy. The fishery industries responded to these difficulties with a number of innovations meant to mitigate and lessen the disaster's effects. After the Fukushima accident, testing for radioactive contamination in seafood was given more attention. More rigorous testing procedures were put in place by organizations and fishing authorities to guarantee that only safe items were sold. Previously, there were fewer alerts for the safety of marine animals because there were fewer concerns that those products would harm humans. Japan worked in partnership with international organizations, as well as other countries, to exchange research findings, best practices, and data. Understanding the disaster's wider effects on the maritime ecosystem was made easier by this cooperative approach, especially since the efforts were informed to the consumers. However, lack of continued effort and transparency of information would grow consumer’s doubt. Hence, fisheries should continue to improve on and conduct transparent communication and public education.

Magazine Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In U.S. Culture Wars and Ron Desantis in Florida Magazine 0 Ron DeSantis is a Floridian governor, currently the 46th to hold the position. Since 2019, he has been at the center of a plethora of political controversy due to his policies on education, COVID, and the environment. Often promoting extreme-right views such as supporting gun rights and signing bills that loosen gun ownership laws, he has caused further societal polarization in the U.S., especially during the culture wars. Culture wars refer to an ongoing conflict within socio-political groups in the U.S. over social, political, economic, and moral values. The two main groups involved are the left (Democrats) and the right (Republicans), with the left advocating for progressive views that prioritize personal freedom and worker support, while the right tends to support traditional values and individual freedom. Despite their opposing views, both parties are closely competitive and often spark nationwide debates on social issues. The U.S. culture wars are likely to be a significant factor in the 2024 presidential election as it is expected to be highly polarized, with the left and the right continuing to clash with great credit to politicians like Ron DeSantis, placing many at the extreme ends of the political spectrum. The DeSantis administration of Florida defines “woke ideology” as “the belief that there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.” . According to The Washington Post, contrary to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of “aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)”. The term “woke” has been receiving more attention recently amid the fierce culture wars waging across the United States. But political beliefs largely shape “woke”. On the left, being “woke” means you are an active social justice advocate aware of contemporary political concerns; on the right, “woke” is a disapproving term to describe extreme liberals in matters of racial and social justice. DeSantis, an extreme Republican, has stated that “woke ideology” is a concept similar to “cultural Marxism” and that he, as the state governor of Florida, will protect Florida from it through education and institutional reforms. Accordingly, the Stop W.O.K.E. (Stop Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees) Act was passed in 2022 in Florida which prohibited all instruction on race relations or diversity that implies a person's status as either privileged or oppressed is necessarily determined by his or her race, color, national origin, or sex. DeSantis’ Stop W.O.K.E. Act was followed by education reform policies that were controversial among many students and parents. DeSantis has been under fire for banning education on sexual orientation from kindergarten to third graders. Healso banned AP African-American studies on queer-related content and the so-called "political agenda". By the government regulating information under the terms of "political correctness", asymmetric information occurs, and the government loses its reputation from the LGBTQ+ community which is significantly harmful to the long-term economy as the government loses its potential supporters. This outraged students and citizens, who argued that these changes were anti-history and anti-black. Some African American students and teachers are boycotting schools, fighting for fair courses and rights. Causing confusion and changes in the Florida school system. Ron DeSantis’ actions are causing deep conflict between different cultural backgrounds, mainly races, and LGBTQ cultures. This may lead to economic disadvantages in the future as more people oppose Florida’s policy. This means that consumer behavior among Florida organizations will shift, decreasing the profit drastically. Moreover, this could limit Florida’s global economic growth. More significantly, Disneyland which is one of the landmarks of Florida did not express much of a position on the following political agenda in the very first place. However, there was a backlash from the LGBTQ+ community that criticized it. 75,000 Disney employees issued a protest statement and broke out on strike. This is a clear delineation that Disneyland is losing potential consumer groups but also potential revenue gained by potential consumers. To assuage the backlash, DisneyLand CEO Bob Iger belatedly announced that he would not donate political funds to Florida politicians. This shows that the government loses its potential revenue gain which is considered a misallocation of resources. Furthermore, against Bob Iger's action, Republican politicians in Florida, including Ron DeSantis passed a bill that deprives Orlando of its status as the "Reedy Creek Improvement District," which treats Disneyland as its own administrative unit. As soon as Ron DeSantis signs the bill, it will revoke the 1968 “special tax zone” designation. This shows that the Culture War and Ron DeSantis’ aggressive action is clearly a form of political retaliation. As a result, society will lose its benefits and the market will fail. Speaking of U.S. culture wars, they refer to a conflict between social groups (most often political groups) over beliefs, values, and cultural norms. In the U.S., the term ‘culture war’ primarily recognizes the socio-economic debates between the conservative right and the liberal left. Political polarization in the U.S. can have significant effects on the economy in the following ways: Consumer Behavior: People may boycott or avoid certain companies due to their socio-political values–leading to revenue losses. Tourism: People may avoid traveling to certain states for their political stances. This will impact the tourism industry, including hotels, car rents, restaurants, etc. Immigration: Government policies regarding immigration are also a heavily debated factor, and thus changes in such policies may impact the labor force and the cost of goods and services depending on immigrant labor. Global Trade/Investment: Although unlikely to impact the U.S.A specifically due to its prominent international standing, some nations may be reluctant to continue business with a divided, thus unstable country. Government Spending: Last but not least, changing policies regarding healthcare, education, and other (mostly public) goods and services may alter the concentration of government funding in each respective area. Consumer behavior, in particular, is a major component that determines an economy. Northern Carolina's ‘Bathroom Bill’ controversy has already hinted at how a shift in consumer behavior as a result of culture wars can harm the economy. North Carolina passed the 'Bathroom Bill' in 2016, requiring transgender individuals to use public bathrooms in accordance with their birth certificates. This legislation was openly criticized by many for its discriminatory nature. . As a result, many LGBTQ advocacy groups, and celebrities decided to boycott the state and many businesses also joined in later on. As a result, this led to a significant economic impact with an estimated loss of $3.76 billion in revenue from canceled concerts, conferences, and events. Ron DeSantis has further suggested continuous culture war battles with standing by anti-CRT(critical race theory) and against “radical gender race theory”. He has prohibited the race, education and discussion of preferred gender or sexuality, however, this is now attacking the LGBTQ youth. According to him, gender discussion and race should be banned, as they do not meet educational expectations nor focus on ‘learning’. Furthermore, DeSantis' “Don’t say gay or Trans” bill has passed, enhancing his success. Nevertheless, DeSantis’ standing against the CRT is being criticized for ‘hypocrisy’, as they have donated thousands of dollars to the right wing of the government. In addition, they denounce racism during Black History Month. This has also affected businesses like Amazon, Disney, AT&T, and others. Despite public claims to be anti-racist, non-profit organizations are assumed to be directly and indirectly supporting DeSantis’s election, according to the Center for Political Accountability. As a result, the culture war caused by Ron Desantis has impacted the business, and got impacted from the business – as DeSantis progresses, they are supported by the businesses. Although there might be some connections between businesses and DeSantis’s work, this does not simply show a ‘direct’ impact on businesses, and it emphasizes DeSantis’ political impact. From the perspective of business, what counts is the political output that comes from businesses’ support – this will further benefit them if they are deeply bonded to politics. Business leaders increasingly find themselves in such unwinnable positions, caught between two sides on topics they never wanted to debate, as culture war issues dominate U.S. political discourse. In the current political climate, consumers are increasingly aware of businesses' political and social stances. This can lead to boycotts or calls for boycotts of companies that are perceived as being on the "wrong" side of an issue. For example, in recent years, there have been boycotts of companies that support gun rights, companies that support immigration restrictions, and companies that have ties to the Trump administration. Culture wars can also impact a business's ability to attract and retain employees. Some potential employees may be reluctant to work for a company that has taken a controversial stance on a social or political issue.

Science November 24, 2023 at 6:11:34 PM 00 °c Log In Science India’s Population Growth: Economical Advantages and Disadvantages Science 2023/11/12 Share Soyee Kim In 2023, India surpassed China to become the world’s largest population It was the first time that India overtook China in population size since 1950 when the UN first started to keep a record of populations. Now it is India that has the largest population in the country (Ellis-Petersen). With a staggering population of 1,425,775,850, India is facing both advantages and disadvantages of population growth (Ellis-Petersen). According to The Guardian, the average age in India is 29, and the country’s youth population is expected to grow for the next two decades, providing the opportunity to boost the economy of India (Ellis-Petersen). The population growth in India also has an impact on the world’s economy as many potential workers can work in major firms to provide goods and services. Similarly, India has been acknowledged as an important player on the world stage in recent years. For example, in 2023, India is anticipated to lead the charge on the G20, while there may also be a possibility to gain a permanent seat on the U.N Security Council (Rajvanshi). The country is also bringing in international mega corporations such as Apple, allowing their manufacturing factories to be built in the small cities in the country, which can result in the technological development of the small cities in India and an increase in the employment rate(Rajvanshi). Moreover, increased manufactured supplies in factories in India of international corporations allows more people to buy their products, circulating the economy . However, India is facing an unemployment burden due to the growing population. According to Time, many young people in India choose to rest, or rely on their families rather than work as the government does not provide enough investment in education and employment (Rajvanshi). As such, their current unemployment rate is around 7 to 8%, which has increased 5 to 6% from 2021 (Rajvanshi). Many experts believe that India will need to create more than 90 million jobs by 2030 (Rajvanshi).

Economics Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In What Should We Do to Make Our Cities Sustainable? Economics 0 Climate change poses a major threat to our daily lives, but there are certain geographical areas that are more exposed to the dangers of global warming. At the current rate of global greenhouse gas emissions, climate change will sink most of the Asian countries, including South Korea, due to rising ocean levels, and these negative externalities created by global warming will increase the cost to society more than the individuals. Thus, it will increase the loss of social welfare and lead us to greater inefficiency and misallocation of resources which will exacerbate the disparities between their wealth and the poor in regard to the LEDC and MEDC countries. This occurs because the countries that lack economic stability are more likely to be exposed to an unsustainable cycle since it is more difficult for them to have an excess to use new technologies and expensive eco-friendly products to resolve the vicious cycle linear economy. This reveals that one of the popular rhetorical solutions which is increasing the demand and supply of renewable energy is more nuanced than simply breaking the current unattainable cycle of production. Furthermore, considering the economic difficulties for LEDC countries to stop using cheap plastic products, adopting an environmentally sustainable life is ted impractical and even idealistic. For instance, compared to the price of electric vehicles, there is not enough incentive for consumers to limit their purchases of petrol or for the companies to produce less of their harmful products. This shows that economic difficulties lead to a vicious cycle of overproducing and overconsumption. Thus, in order to reduce the negative externalities created by GHG emissions, the government adopting carbon taxes on products that produce GHG emissions can also help eliminate the negative externalities of fossil fuel use and increase fair competition in the energy market. In fact, they are effective because they split accountability across the economy between consumers, who pay more for products that result in GHG emissions, and producers, who face reduced demand for their products due to higher prices and a loss of cash flow through payment of the tax. Moreover, it is important to innovate and adopt new technologies and restrict producers and consumers’ behavior in a socially desirable way such as “reduce, reuse, recycle” campaigns; however, for those who are in low income individuals, it is very difficult to achieve its goal. Furthermore, even if the consumers have the ability to afford renewable and eco-friendly products, it is very difficult for them to require a change in their lives because of the uneasiness to change their habitual lifestyles. Therefore, to actually manifest sustainability in real life, the government should provide incentives by subsidizing rather than limiting the individual's action in a certain way. 2023/03/11 Share Gyuri Noh Works Cited > News Economics Robinson Review Favorites A Review of Alternative Bottleless Water Ooho Dongha Kim Three Reasons Why the U.S. Shot Down the Chinese Spy Balloon Seunghyeon Lee How Truly Significant Is the Collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank on the U.S. Economy?

Economics Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Economics How Decline of the Japanese Yen is Affecting the Economy Economics 12/11/2023 Share Ji Woo Kim (Jade) The Japanese Yen is one of the most fluctuating currencies in the world throughout the history of economics. In Korea, there is even a concept called Yentech, which is the compound word of Yen and Tech. This is an action where people buy Japanese Yen when it is in a declining situation, and sell or trade in stocks when it is on the rise. Yentech happens because Japanese Yen is influenced a lot by their economical situation, trade, and Nikkei Stocks, especially in a decline. Mainly the decline of the Japanese Yen has had a positive effect on trading. Just like the Yentech, people started to have various trades in Japanese stock based on cheaper trade levels than other nations. The decline of the currency allowed other countries to access the stock market, benefitting both Japan and other nations. According to the Securities Information Portal of the Korea Securities Depository, the net purchases of Japanese stocks amounted to about 67.4 billion KRW which is about 51.1 million USD. This increase rate is about 12 times higher than the August of last year. Another beneficial effect is tourism. Japan is a country that highly depends on tourism every year, since it is the 11th most visited country in the world for 2023. Since the currency of the nation is lower, people tend to visit the country and spend more money in Japan. This is also helping the side region of Japan whether it is in the countryside or the cityside. There is also a negative aspect of the decline in the Japanese Yen, which is the recession. While the Japanese stock economy is growing in a better way by trading with other countries, the economy of Japan itself to its citizens is not really being seen as a better situation. As the currency value is decreasing, the wage of the workers in Japan is decreasing together, while the consumer price index is increasing. This makes it harder for people to survive in the society where they work for money and actually cannot use the money. Considering the fact that the Japanese economy has not increased in value for 30 years, the decline of the Japanese currency also seems to be the problem. Though the stock value compared with other countries is increasing, the most important thing to care about now for the nation seems to be how the citizens would survive in the decline.

Arts Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Queen Elizabeth II: The British Monarchy’s Treasure and Legacy Monthly Edition Share Songi Chai, Yubin Cho, Seohyun Jang, Dongha Kim, Jian Kim, Tyler Lafleur, Guyri Noh, Wieroo Park, Sieeun Rhee, Yujin Yang, Insun Yoon 2023/10/23 Works Cited > News 0 2023/10/23 Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, died at Balmoral, aged 96 on the 7th of September, 2022. The day before her death, however, was the inauguration of Liz Truss, the newly elected Prime Minister of the UK from the Conservative Party. Charles III, the son of Queen Elizabeth II, is expected to accede to the throne following her death. Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the British government decided to label the day of the Queen’s funeral as a national holiday. This resulted in many British businesses shutting their stores and stopping operations on that day, in order to commemorate the death of the Queen. While many people were able to take time away from work to honor the late Queen, halting operations resulted in businesses losing a day of profits and moreover contributing to negatively impacting the British economy due to the predicted recession happening at the end of the year. Likewise, consumers were not happy that supermarkets and restaurants were closed, as many were not able to get their basic necessities. The death of Queen Elizabeth II and the accession of King Charles III could additionally have a significant impact on retailers, manufacturers, and their delivery partners. Alarming the brands that they must be sensitive to public sentiment during the mourning period, it remains to be seen how it may impact consumer confidence during a period of uncertainty and financial confusion. There are some significant ways in which we can predict its impact on retail, manufacturing, and deliveries: it’s already clear that retailers are having to tread carefully during this sensitive period to avoid any missteps. In addition, tens of millions of people in the UK could fall into fuel poverty this winter as energy prices soared due to the Ukraine war. As these predictions spread, more attention may be paid to the royal family's fiscal spending than usual. Compared to the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, which was first broadcast on TV, the coronation of Charles III will be shorter, "cheaper, and, above all, more multicultural, reflecting the diversity of British society, says the Daily Telegraph, citing royal sources. In particular, ceremonies such as coronations are likely to be curtailed. In addition, the royal family must be conscious of the country's situation during these difficult times. The royal family's financial expenditure is a complex issue that lies at the heart of the anti-monarchy argument, which comes from 'royal grants' generated from annual tax payments. All English currency, from a penny piece to a £50 note, featuring the late Queen’s image will stay in use for some time to come. Those old enough to recall pre-decimalization shopping will remember finding pennies bearing the image of numerous former monarchs. In time, new Charles III coins will be stamped. Businesses still largely wedded to cash may be in for a shock At this point, the businesses still largely wedded to cash may be in for a shock as the move to produce new currency may hasten the demise of lower-value coins. How much rising steel and copper prices have affected the cost of producing new 1p coins is not sure. The cost and scale of producing new 1p pieces might mean they are phased out, rather than being replaced by new ones bearing King Charles III. *The majority of this article has been written prior to Truss’s resignation on October 20th, 2022. Liz Truss, now officially succeeding Boris Johnson as the new Prime Minister, brings a distinguishable political background to the United Kingdom as the third female prime minister. Starting off as a liberal democrat, Truss is a conservative anticipating the stimulation of the alleged “woke” culture. Formerly she has taken the position of; education minister, secretary of state for the environment, justice secretary, Chief Secretary of Treasury, Secretary of international trade, and finally the foreign secretary, in chronological order. Her political manifesto ‘Britannia Unchained’ co-authored by 4 other conservatives revolve around the aim to delegitimize certain regulations to “boost UK’s position in the world” and infamously reports British workers “among the worst idlers in the world”. “Britain could be heading for a 1980s style culture shock” she says. Many have expressed Liz Truss’s foreign policy as one that will open a “transformative period” for the UK. This is greatly in part due to her open display of hostility towards China, particularly on the nations’ expansionist policies. She has declared China as a ‘threat’, and has received support from influential conservatives in the UK, as Truss herself is a member of the Conservative Party. In addition, she expressed her willingness to protect China’s adversaries such as Taiwan along with the concern of allowing open Chinese investments—with its increasing economic and military assertiveness—while signing a defense pact to support Australia in building nuclear technology to repel China's growing influence on the country. “Countries must play by the rules and that includes China,” she states. Liz Truss is ready for radical changes to deal with serious problems Britain is currently facing. With her aim to focus her government and ministers on economic growth, her initiatives are composed of deregulation and tax cuts, being heavily reliant on free-market mechanisms. A major policy that Truss is initiating promises to ensure the annual household energy does not exceed 2,500 pounds amid the energy crisis triggered by the Russia-Ukraine War. As a result of the policy, the Britons’ burden of the soaring energy prices is expected to be alleviated and hence prevent the standard of living from declining. The plan will initially be funded by borrowing, which may call upon the Bank of England to further increase the interest rate. Yet, in less than a month, Liz Truss’ amassment of government bonds and practically non-existent fiscal forethought has caused serious economic disturbances for the UK. Citizens have experienced drastic and never before seen increases in mortgage rates, some claiming to have seen a 4% rate increase to 10%, making housing unaffordable for many; the pound sterling has been close to parity with the US dollar, an unseen phenomenon for the last almost 40 years; and most recently, Liz Truss has fired her Financial Minister for attempting to undergo the fiscal reform that she had mandated then reversing it after the minister had seen that it was troubling the markets. Now, after just 45 days, severe population outcry, and severe humiliation sustained by Truss and the UK government, Liz Truss has officially resigned from her position as Prime Minister. However, the existence of many political debacles and contentions over the last 12 years leading to economic and political instability–such as Brexit, for example–and the fact that the common denominator seems to be Conservative Party control, begs the question: after 12 years of Conservative Party leadership, will the UK soon enter an era of Labor Party dominion?

Magazine Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In The War in Ukraine Puts Children in Fear Magazine Share Parvathi Aneesh, Jian Chung, Kyunghwan Han, Dohun Kim, Seoyeon 2023/04/23 Works Cited > News 0 4/23/2023 With the war crimes and child abuse in Ukraine that Russia has created, the International Criminal Court (ICC) indicated Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova for the mass abduction of Ukrainian children. Currently, there has been an arrest warrant sent out for Putin, and the war crime has committed the unlawful deportation of the population. Therefore, due to these severe incidents happening, the United Nations criticized Russia’s abduction issues and re-education camps. To start off, regarding the abduction issues, the court had grounds to believe the crime due to reports of Ukrainian children in occupied land taken to Russia. Then, the Ukrainian children were taken from their homes and later adopted by Russian families and about 1,400 Ukrainian children were abducted from Ukraine to Russia. Since Russia believed the abduction was saving the Ukrainian children, they have taken these actions which wasn’t the right thing to do obviously. For that reason, these matters were recognized and condemned by the United Nations. Furthermore, Russia has forced children from Ukraine to be sent to re-education camps. The summer “re-education” camps were funded by Russian states under the Russian government’s influence. Among the 6,000 Ukrainian children forcibly attending the re-education camps, 90% of those children were still living with their family members. The parents were denied their right to get their children back from the re-education camps after the war had started. The United Nations' internationally illegal war crime is the act of “illicit transfer and non-return of children abroad.” Despite the constant efforts for mediation and compromise, the efforts have only resulted in the increased anger and unrest in Ukraine where children are still suffering to devastating extents, losing their childhood and being put in trauma.
