Sorry for being absent again, I had to register the next semester classes but I woke up at 9.15! How dare I did....
The North Korea and us, the South! When I was a teenager I thought reunification between us was not acceptable for me at all. I hated them because they almost extorted crops and cows even though the previous president told we aimed. They hurt us and they got food and animals from us. How ridiculous! Also, I didn't understand why they talked bigger than us and why we humbled ourselves before them. So I was against the reunification Because of those reasons.
However, I am now an adult who can think more seriously about the controversial topic. I am still against it a bit because I don't have to have the rest of my family in the North Korea, I don't want to pay much more tax for them, and I don't feel like sightseeing there. So no reason for the reunification.
On the other hand, if we look at the further future we can get even more benefits in reunification. While the North Korea has loads of mineral resources and labour force, the South has high technique and many of the talent. If each condition gathers we will be far stronger in economy. Yet there are much conflict on the political and social side. We can take an example of German having done and go upgrade our nation!
Many policies on reunification have been processing recently. It would be so mean; I would like to reunify after I die because it must cost a lot. I don't want to pay for it, absolutely. I am not a patriot. So I am on the fence of the reunification.
I am sure there will be a lot more advantages when we get reunified but the process will not so simple.
I agree with you.
답글삭제But I think we can get many things after reunification!
But if we wait for another 50-75 years to reunite, won't the economic and cultural differences be even bigger? You say that you don't want to pay for it, so do you want your children to pay for it? What about the purely humanitarian aspect that there are people starving to death just a hundred miles from where you live a very comfortable life?
답글삭제Oh, Erika, I couldn't think of my offspring would pay for those cost. I don't know.. how to say.. it's too vague to fix my opinion. Anyway, I don't want to pay for it a lot. Many governors have a huge fortune and I think it's on them.
답글삭제Yes I can understand your opinion. However, I don't think your opinion is totally right because reunification is the sooner the better for us. your opinion is so narrow aspects.
