Memorial Day - reflection and renewal
Memorial Day - reflection and renewal
Memorial Day, celebrated on May 29, is cause for contemplation as well as ceremonies. Parades featuring people in uniform - those currently serving, those who have served, and others who protect us - should always be welcome. Military uniforms remind us of the roles of war in our history - and our present.

33 years after graduation
33 years after graduation
By Sho Chang-youngThey are now in their early 50s, and I am in my late 60s. We first met at Buan High School in the countryside of North Jeolla Province. I was a fledgling teacher and they were my new students. In an era of rapid population growth, the classrooms were filled with energetic students even in a rural high school. I guided them as their first-grade homeroom teach...

Taking a stroll with paper flowers
Taking a stroll with paper flowers
A couple of days ago, I went out to Bukchon Hanok Village in downtown Seoul for an appointment with one of my acquaintances there. It had been a while since I went there. As far as I remember, I have been to Bukchon and its vicinity a couple of times before. But there were not many times that I could really enjoy being there and appreciate its own traditional beauty. Probably...

Proud to be Korean
Proud to be Korean
I have to admit that I have long undervalued the genuine value of Korea. Where Korea stands in the world was underestimated by me, a native Korean who has always aspired to my fantasy of living in a foreign country.

Henry Kissinger over 100
American political scientist Henry Kissinger will turn 100 on May 27. Since nobody alive has more experience with international affairs as a scholar, a national security adviser, a secretary of state, the recipient of numerous highest awards and then as a consultant and emissary to a number of world leaders and major enterprises, I cannot help remembering my honored free talk...

My new cleaning lady
My new cleaning lady
Not so long ago, I read a dystopian story entitled, “Klara and the Sun,” written by the British Nobel Prize-winning writer, Ishiguro. Klara is an android robot powered by the sun, but also called an artificial friend who can read the emotionality of human beings and be friendly with people quite well. Then I only imagined what it would be like to have a robot with such intell...

With increasing media coverage and research, child maltreatment has become an important topic of public and political discourse around the globe.

My grandson Yunhyeok
My grandson Yunhyeok
Yunhyeok is the only child of my third daughter Jukyeong. I have four grandsons, one each from my three daughters and one from my only son. But, strangely, I seem to have a deeper affection for Yunhyeok and so did my late wife. This was probably because we sort of raised him for a few years after he was born. Both Jukyeong and her husband majored in art in college and had jus...

Why is English hard to learn?
Why is English hard to learn?
There are absolutely no similarities between Korean and English. Indeed, these two languages are worlds apart. So we, Koreans, have to learn English from scratch. All Korean students work long and hard to learn English, but many fail to become proficient. There are several reasons why English is difficult to master, as outlined below.
