Abandonment of the elderly in South Korea
I didn't know such group existed! The sad thing about South Korea is what do we know about South Korea from the outside? We know about Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Hyundai Motor Company (현대자동차), etc. Multibillion empires present pretty much everywhere in the world. We learn at school that during the Cold war, Korea was split into North and South and this has remained this way even after the end of the Cold War.
Who made South Korea a rich country? People who worked to build modern buildings, modern railways, modern subway systems, modern tech companies, electricity companies, so on. I have no idea why the people who made South Korea grow into the country that we know today with the increasing popularity of k-pop and k-drama are now forgotten and living in poverty.
Honorable mention
- Yvone Bezerra de Mello Do you think this brazillian woman deserves the Nobel Peace Prize? I'd say yes.
- Jane Elliott Her fight against racism is commendable. However, I think that her social experiment of demonstrating discrimination is too brutal and extreme. It reminds me of what Sam Vaknin called "cold therapy" to treat narcissistic personality disorder. If you don't know what Sam Vaknin proposed, it's a therapy to expose the narcissist to their own bad behavior and treatment. To taste their own medicine in layman terms.
- Special Books by Special Kids Would you vote for him for the Nobel Peace Prize? I've never seen in my life a person who is profoundly honest and devoid of any kind of prejudice like him!
