Business Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In How DNA Traces Down Global Supply Chains Business 0 In San Joaquin Valley, California, cotton manufacturers spray billions of DNA molecules onto batches of freshly woven cotton. These DNA molecules travel everywhere, from Indian yarn factories to Costco shelves worldwide. American businesses check for the DNA's presence to ensure their cotton has not been replaced by cheaper Chinese yarn, banned for forced labor. Amid growing concerns about abuses of global supply chains, the use of DNA tracking technology has significant consequences. By March 2023, U.S. companies identified a billion-dollar worth of shipments suspected of illegal trading. Legal officials advocate for customer rights by strengthening laws that explicitly outline the protocols for product withdrawal from China. All companies must prove their goods are free from forced labor in their creation process before displaying them on market shelves. If not, those goods may be seized at the border and detained from entry into the U.S.. Along the same line, customers have become increasingly interested in the authenticity and ethical production of high-end products, such as diamonds, organic cotton, sushi-grade tuna, or Manuka honey. This has led companies to need to explain where every piece of their product comes from, not just ensure that they are free from forced labor. To the public, it may seem simple, but it's not as easy as it looks. Over the past decades in which they have developed their businesses and produced goods, international supply chains have become highly complex in attempts to reduce costs or diversify product offerings. Fewer sources come from local areas; thus, tracing every section of their supply chain will take time and effort. Especially for large enterprises operating upon multinational platforms, it is nearly impossible to identify source origins, as they are sponsored by thousands of suppliers worldwide. Each of these suppliers, in turn, relies on hundreds of other companies to maintain their business - and so forth, the supply chain becomes a bowl of spaghetti. That is why DNA comes in handy. Some companies use scientific methods to tag their goods, using synthetic DNA tags. These tags do more than leave a mark on products; by sequencing the DNA or analyzing isotopes after traveling, experts can quickly determine rainfall, latitude, temperature, or soil conditions of the regions the products traveled in. Other companies use digital databases or artificial intelligence to create extensive maps of transportation or to detect unusual trade patterns. Of course, criticism exists: skeptics argue adding these features to daily products will elevate manufacturing costs, a significant change for retailers under thin margins. Furthermore, concerns about digital safety still arise today, as hackers can easily break down internet-based systems, hiding the truth about specific products. Transparency in global supply chains is crucial for both customers and companies, with researchers prioritizing finding adequate solutions to address this issue. As businesses continue to adopt new technologies, it is likely that DNA tracking and other forms of technology will play an increasingly important role in ensuring that products are produced ethically and sustainably. 2023/04/23 Share Jian Chung Works Cited > News Business 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?

Magazine Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Giorgia Meloni, the New Face of the Far Right Magazine 0 Extreme right politicians were, most of the time, unsuccessful in the past. People of Europe weren’t convinced of the specific ideology brought up by extremists, heavily relying on their previous political beliefs and dependence. However, after living in such an unpredictable and unstable world, after encountering numerous social problems and wrongful tips of the global economy, there has been a change in some people’s minds. They no longer hope for a world of pure democracy and peaceful standings. These actions of pursuit have caused a rise in the emergence of extreme right politicians, especially in the continent of Europe. It inevitably appears to cause a change in various fields and areas of the EU. Not just changes but harmful modifications. Dominant economies of the EU primarily prioritize ideals such as freedom, equality, or internationalism. It means that their beliefs hold the opposing status to those right-wing extremists. Conflicts can be resolved through discussions and tolerances, but they will still cause a threat to those dominant economies since they no longer have as much public support. It will be challenging to maintain their dominance and power as the emergence of the new-colored people will bring small but significant changes in their minds. These changes may seem healthy and idealistic for society, but it doesn’t always benefit the primary economies of the EU. The extreme right has risen to be the major political force in France and has become the second-largest party in Sweden. Also, it is the largest party in the ruling coalition in Italy. At the center, Giorgia Meloni, from Brothers of Italy, became Italy's first female prime minister and the first extreme-right leader to take power since World War II. The extreme-right force, previously regarded as the periphery of politics, has been reborn as the mainstream, now establishing itself as the ruling force of Italy, the third-largest economy in the Eurozone. The factor that the right-wing coalition won is complex, but it is analyzed that the worst inflation had given a decisive impact on the vote. Italy saw consumer prices rise 9.0% in August from a year earlier, continuing their surge following 8.4% in July. Italy's far-right forces made the most of voters' frustration in the election campaign, including soaring energy and food prices and reduced purchasing power. The rise of far-rightism across Europe can be seen as adding to the negative factor of the Ukrainian war and the burden of living costs caused by soaring prices. The failure to control inflation has left European citizens dissatisfied with their government and the European Union (EU) system. After all, the revival of extreme-right forces associated with populism is seen in European society, and a potential threat obscured by economic problems will come. To fully investigate the potential threat the emergence of extreme right politicians may pose to the dominant economies of the EU, one must first discern the doctrines of the extreme right. One major characteristic is that they tend to marginalize social minorities, by applying a majority vs. minority dynamic. Following the same train of thought, the characteristic economic model of the right-wing is neoliberalism. Such a mindset especially stands out when it comes to immigrant policies. Minorities, especially immigrants, are being targeted as the ‘enemy’ of the European economies. The fear of these new demographics stealing the old’s places is dire. In extreme right-wing governments, subsidies for immigration integration are significantly cut. This not only includes accepting refugees but also cutbacks on the funds for education and training for immigrants who have already settled in these countries. In Belgium, where 16.5% of its population are first-generation immigrants and 13.7% are second-generation immigrants, immigration over the last five years had a positive impact on GDP, increasing it by 3.2% (The Economic Impact of Immigration in Belgium). In most countries of the EU, the economy heavily relies on the immigrant workforce. Policies by extreme right-wing governments ostracize immigrants, only making the integration of immigrants into the labor market harder. This outcome is the direct opposite of their objective to stop spending taxes on immigrant policies. Although prioritizing its citizens may have its advantages and necessities, one must be aware that the prime reason why human beings formed a society in the first place is to safeguard one another’s rights. Namely, the objective of the social contract was to establish a system in which people treat others equally, respecting each other’s sanctity. Thus, one must not fall into the trap of believing one’s self-interest is the top priority. 2023/10/23 Share Mina Cho, Hanbin Choi, Junhee Han, Gyujin Kim, Jinho Kim, Junsik Kim, Minyong Kim, Seojin Lee, Naeyong Park, Yebin Song Works Cited > News Magazine 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?

Weekdays, Month Day, Year 00 °c Log In Economics/Politics Korean Doctors Walk Out of Hospitals After Government Proposal Economics/Politics Doctors protesting near President Yoon Suk Yeol’s office in Seoul (Jeon Heon-Kyun/EPA, via Shutterstock) 03/03/2024 Share Claire Kim Doctors protesting near President Yoon Suk Yeol’s office in Seoul (Jeon Heon-Kyun/EPA, via Shutterstock) South Korea’s medical system, world-renowned for its affordability and excellence, finds itself facing an existential crisis. Patients are seeing their pre-planned operations canceled and emergency cases are experiencing long waits for an ambulance, with one elderly woman dying of cardiac arrest after no hospital had space to treat her (Park). The medical emergency is the result of Korean doctors protesting at a government proposition to increase the number of students who can be admitted to its medical schools from 3,000 to 5,000 starting next year (Jin). The government argues that the move is necessary as the country has just 2.6 doctors for every 1,000 citizens compared to an OECD average of 3.7 (Park and Kim). Doctors, particularly trainee doctors, argue that the government’s decision is misdirected since the shortage is limited to a minority of medical sectors. Claiming to already suffer from low salaries and harsh working conditions, the trainee doctors believe increased supply will make their situation even worse. Interns are resident doctors who are said to work up to 80 hours a week for just $3,000 a month (Jin). When online and street protests failed to sway both public and government opinion, trainee doctors – who make up about 50% of the workforce at major hospitals – decided to submit their resignation letters. At first, 6,415 doctors walked off the job, and while several hundred have since returned, there is still a significant shortage which has caused the government to announce a medical emergency (Korea Joongang Daily). Meanwhile, the government is refusing to back down with the Korean president, Yoon Suk Yeol, saying that “it is impossible to justify collective action that takes people’s health hostage and threatens their lives and safety.” (Jin) The government added that those who failed to return to their posts by the end of February would lose their medical licenses and face large fines. That deadline has come and gone with no offer of a resolution from either side, and the government is yet to take definitive action. With public support aligning with the government, it is unlikely that the government will bow to the doctors’ demands; however, the doctors are also defiant in their position. This means the situation is likely to drag on which leaves the medical system vulnerable and the public at risk.

Weekdays, Month Day, Year 00 °c Log In Monthly Edition Tech CEOs in Hot Water-A debatable necessity Monthly Edition 02/19/2024 Share Daniel Jo Recently, on January 31, 2024, the CEOs of Tech giants were brought forth to a Senate hearing in America. Presided by the U.S Senate Judiciary Committee, these leading businessmen were brought under hot water for about four hours, with Senators especially vocal regarding the harm that these Tech platforms had brought.With even Zuckerberg apologizing to the audience present in the chamber, it does seem that some of the concerns posted by the committee are indeed valid. One hot topic was the harm caused to children via the Tech platforms. Indeed, as Senator Lindsey Graham said, the executives had “blood on their hands.” With millions of underage children, and under the age of 13, having accounts on platforms such as Facebook and Tiktok, the possibility for them to be exposed to harmful content is rising up drastically. With cases of online child abuse, such as sexual exploitation, harrasment, bullying, and such, exposure to harmful content like suicide, decline in mental health being more numerous then ever before, the Tech companies have a lot to answer. For one, Toney Roberts’ 14-years old daughter Englyn committed suicide after being exposed to such content on instagram(). Another case would be that of 17-years old Jordan LeMay, who also committed suicide after falling to an online scam calling for sexual images in social media. Although the top Tech giants constantly assert that their platforms are not marketed to children under 13, and that potential underage users are prohibited from joining, the reliance is low. For example, TikTok was fined about $15.9 million for allowing more than one million underage users to join in Britain in April 2023. Similarly, in America, 33 state attorneys general sued Meta-company which Facebook and Instagram belonged to, for letting millions of underage children join the two platforms. Such accusations extend to the violation of data and privacy protection of minors. With increasing concerns that the platforms themselves, that have promised to protect minors, exploiting them for profit, ‘Freedom of Speech’ can be, indeed, sidelined for the moment. In conclusion, with several lawmakers pushing for the proposed Kids Online Safety Act to ensure online safety, it does seem like that some guidelines at the very least, are needed to balance the intricate line between Freedom of Speech, and the protection of minors online.

Science Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Science ESG’s Risks in Investing World Science 12/15/2023 Share Yuju Jang "ESG" is "Environmental, Social, and Governance," which are three key factors that measure the sustainability of investment in a company or business and its impact on society. Many companies use ESG to reduce the adverse effects on the environment and culture, and ESG is becoming a significant part of it. However, ESG is dying in the corporate and investing world, and I'll explain this in detail. For the first point, there are concerns about greenwashing. Greenwashing refers to the act of a company producing a product that adversely affects the environment while still putting on an eco-friendly image through advertisements. There are risks of some companies greenwashing their products so that environmentally conscious investors and consumers who want to buy environment-friendly products will be attracted even though those products are not actually environmentally friendly. Without sufficient verification processes of ESG, those bad companies would make claims about their ESG company behaviors. This would make investors need help to determine which companies are eco-friendly. These overall risks would damage the reputation of ESG concept investing. Investors might be skeptical and suspicious about putting ESG on their decisions if those degrading kept processing. Also, the skepticism of investors would negatively affect the ESG. Some investors would think about financial returns if they put ESG in their decision-making. If there is a negative effect of ESG on their profit-making, they will hesitate to incorporate the ESG concept into them. Those ESG would benefit from long-term sustainability, but this might be the same as the lack of short-term positive effects for their financial positive effects. For ESG, the reporting for the investors might need to be more consistent and standardized, which makes it hard for investors to collect the data for their financial performance. These would cause investors to be more focused and believe in traditional financial metrics than ESG criteria. So, it would be hard to incorporate ESG. Hence, as ESG has a lot of risks like greenwashing or investor skepticism, it would make ESG die in the corporate and investing world.

Politics Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Politics Donald Trump’s indictments being denied and claimed DOJ ‘weaponised’ by his rivals Politics 12/15/2023 Share Jeongseo Park Political quarrels continue as the presidential election is coming forward in November 2024. While Donald Trump, the so-called frontrunner, has been indicted by the DOJ(Department of Justice) four times, Trump claims it was an interference by Joe Biden. This claim was illuminated by the interview by Univision, highlighting the fever of the upcoming presidential election. Also, Joe Biden has lost his supporters DOJ has charged Trump in Florida, Washington, D.C., New York and Georgia. In an interview with Univision, Donald Trump said, “If they do this – and they have already done it – but if they follow through on this, yeah, it could certainly happen in reverse.” therefore, he noted that he would do the same thing when he is reelected as a president: ‘weaponizing DOJ.’ This reveals the tension between the frontrunner and the current president, Joe Biden. Trump subsequently showed hostility against Joe Biden, stating, “What they have done is they have released the genie out of the box. You understand that. They have done something that nobody thought would happen.”. Nevertheless, Trump’s case regarding the 2020 election subversion has not been immunized despite Trump’s immunity argument to the federal court. The case is one of Trump's indictments by the DOJ. Therefore, it was one of Trump’s attempts to reveal his guiltlessness regarding the case. However, as the federal court has rejected his argument, it seems unfavorable for Trump to win the election in November 2024. Likewise, the fever of the presidential election is getting hotter, and the political conflicts seem endless. The tension between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is getting intensified. While Trump is constantly claiming that his charges are intentional to attack Trump and get his chances of being reelected, the federal court does not agree. Trump’s attempts to get away from the indictments must be the priority for Trump to win the race.

Opinion Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Interview with Liberty in North Korea’s Ilhwa Choe: Escaping North Korea, Finding Freedom Opinion Share Gyumin Kim 2023/03/11 Works Cited > News 1 2023/03/11 The Robinson Review was invited exclusively to a valuable interview session held by the organization LiNK–Liberty in North Korea–with a North Korean guest who fled her fatherland during her youth. LiNK is a nonprofit organization that strives to ensure the natural rights of the North Korean people, making efforts to elevate the privileges of North Koreans to be on par with those of people around the world. They support the fleeing of North Koreans via a confidential route - exceeding 5000 kilometers - without financial requirements. The organization holds approximately 290 clubs across 16 different countries, which already gathered $570,000 in terms of fundraising. Choe, possessing a North Korean origin, explained her early life in her hometown, Musan, a small town adjacent to the Chinese-North Korean border. Hence, her view of North Korea is limited, as she has experienced less than a percent of what her country offers. Choe explained: similar to her situation, other North Korean residents, too, have a bounded perspective of their own country. People not originally from North Korea tend to generalize their perceptions of North Korea, establishing stereotypes, especially regarding politics. Choe, as a North Korean, believed in the vitality of the guarantee of natural rights–the rights to listen to music, watch movies, read novels, travel, et cetera. She thought her limited privileges were unjust, which influenced her to flee her home country. After successfully emigrating from North Korea, now a member of LiNK, Choe now works as a supporter of North Korean defectors. She is making efforts to eradicate stereotypes of North Korea and assists the defectors to better adapt to the environments of South Korea. Currently, LiNK supports approximately 1300 defectors by offering support curriculums, including basic education and foreign languages. The Robinson Review appreciates the efforts of LiNK and will continue to make meaningful collaborations with other clubs and organizations.
