     GPS is developed by the United States Department of Defense and officially NAVSTAR named. In the late 1950s or in the U.S. Navy in the early 1960s, satellite measurements and navigation system based on established, open to the public in 1969.

     As you already know, our location will be exposed to GPS. If you don't turn off function of location of GPS device like smart-phone and navigation. GPS technology is advancing rapidly and all of us are becoming more and more dependent on these little devices.

Navy Base In Jeju

     I agree with building navy base in Jeju. I write about it is why navy base is built in jeju is suited.

     First, If navy base is built in Jeju, It will be so useful for Korea of army. As North of Korea, Japan and China threat East of Sea and yellow Sea, a need for building rearward base is important for us. Also, our army can support from rearward and it is easy to be supported from U.S. Army. In case that war occurs, U.S. of Navy will be supported by using 7 fleet from US navy which will go the Republic of Korea. The 7 feet contains 2 aircraft carriers and several vessels. So, Our Navy base don't have enough to space for accommodating US Navy is true. It means the 7 fleet can't easily Supports and moves around South of Korea when war occurs.

     Second, Some of people believe that environment of ecosystem will be destroyed by building Navy base. But, other countries; hawaii has the biggest Navy base in the world. As you already know that There has became a nice spot of tourist and got a lot of money.

     In conclusion, I hear Republic of Korea navy is much weaker than countries. I think that Navy base in Jeju is need for protecting from other countries and that place gives native in Jeju boosting economy by using tourist spot. So I agree with building Navy base is a good idea.

Child sexual abuse( Cho Du-sun)

      After presentation about child sexual abuse in last class, I searched for article about Cho, Du-sun who is a child sexual criminal.

     When I read the article, I was so shocked. According to the article, Cho Du-sun, the evil cold-blooded child rapist, kidnapped 8-year-old Na-young, who was on her way to school in An-san, a city southwest of Seoul. He took her to a toilet in a nearby church, strangled and beat her unconscious, then raped her. He also tortured the girl in other ways. Following the attack, Na-young underwent eight hours of surgery. But it was too late. Many of her lower organs are completely dysfunctional.

     After being notified, police arrested the man. Although prosecutors sought a life sentence, the Suwon District Court sentenced him to 12 years. The court said it took into consideration that Cho was drunk, and thus was “weaker mentally and physically.” Under the Korean law, when an intoxicated person commits a crime, the court can reduce a sentence.

     This case is a small part of the problem of child sexual violence. According to one study, the number of sexual assaults and murders against children sharply increased in recent years.

     In conclusion, I think we have to reinforce punishments on sexual offenders and it is also important to improve the support system for the victims.
