3/8/10 1. Discussion about the limits in speaking or usage of language on internet in South Korea. - I'm not too sure about the exact limits of the Korean Law, or the 헌법 (Hun-Bub), but I believe that it is not allowed to strongly disagree or criticize certain decisions made by the government, or politicians. Examples are people getting arrested or having their website banned from access because cursing the president of your country or simply stating all the cows in America are all diseased, etc.

2. Discussion about Bearing Arms (2nd Amendment) in U.S.A. = For: http://find.galegroup.com/ovrc/retrieve.do?subjectParam=Locale%2528en%252C%252C%2529%253AFQE%253D%2528su%252CNone%252C9%2529bear%2Barms%2524&contentSet=GSRC&sort=Relevance&tabID=T010&sgCurrentPosition=0&subjectAction=DISPLAY_SUBJECTS&prodId=OVRC&searchId=R2&currentPosition=2&userGroupName=krkis&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&sgHitCountType=None&qrySerId=Locale%28en%2C%2C%29%3AFQE%3D%28SU%2CNone%2C9%29bear+arms%24&inPS=true&searchType=BasicSearchForm&displaySubject=&docId=EJ3010049253&docType=GSRC

- Many viewpoints are discussed controversially about the second amendment. - Standard: arms to individual, States': arms to state governments, Collective: arms belongs to everyone, but exercised only by government., Gary Wills': second amendment means nothing at all. - Supreme Court supports individual to bear arms, examples exist in certain cases previously, such as the Miller case in 1939 and the Schwimmer case in 1929.

- There are many misperceptions and lack of understanding of the second amendment in modern America. - The amendment states that not individuals have the right to possess a gun, but individuals in militias or some sort of army. - No constitutional trump card, but there can be certain reasons to possess gun or arms. - Examples of misperceptions are reporters are politicians stating in quotes that people have the rights to have guns in there house in case of use of defense.

9/17/09 Discussion about Mars. LIFE ON MARS

1. Would you volunteer for this mission? Yes or No? Why or Why not?

I would like to volunteer for this mission. I would like to be the first to spot living organisms on Mars if existing. I am also very excited about aliens and other undefined species. I would definitely go for this.

2. What sort of people do you suppose would volunteer for this kind of mission.

People such as interested scientists or interested astronauts with fiction films. Science fiction films are films looking that they are like real that is occurring. Many people would be very interested in these films, and the people would enjoy to actually be part of it. Astronomy studiers would definitely be interested in this topic because the existence of aliens is most controversial.

3. What would they have to gain?

People should gain the basic information, lifestyle, their lives, languages, etc. Then, the whole world would be very alarmed about Mars, and many people would be very interested. Also, maybe some Martians can come to Earth.

4. What if anything could go wrong?

I don't think the aliens would be scary or mean, but maybe they are harmful to humans. Maybe people can prepare ahead before they meet them, by discovering how to look friendly.

5. What technological advances would have to occur before this could actually happen?

First, we need faster and longer gas spaceships. The spaceships that are currently developed are not that suitable to go so far our into Mars. Also, nice technology should be developed to communicate with NASA or other organizations all the way from Mars. This is because if you don't have this communication system, it would be very uncomfortable because there is no oxygen in space. Emergency evacuation is crucial, as well as nice suits to wear in space.

8/25/09 Discussion about Europe (Journey to Space)

1 . The invention of maritime technologies that allowed sailors to master treacherous and unfamiliar ocean environments is what really allowed for the Age of Exploration to occur. If you wanted to extend the Age of Exploration into outer space, what new space technology would need to be invented so that human beings could travel to other planets and solar systems?

- In my opinion, Earth and humans need a lot more advanced technology to travel to other planets and solar systems compared to what exists right now. In order to travel to other planets, you must need high technology such as portable spaceships that are able to buy. Space technology that is approved and safe would be also needed, along with great funds and investments that support it. Some predict that in the future there would be space cities, but I think that would be in about at least 2000 years later.

2. Think of some of the fears that existed amongst people during the 15 & 16th century when it came to sailing the open seas (monsters, boiling waters, falling off the edge of the Earth). Identify some of the fears that other people might have today if you had to convince them of traveling into the far reaches of outer space. What would you have to say or do to convince people that their fears are unwarranted and that they will be safe?

- Even now, NASA and other organizations are trying hard to find living organisms on different planets, moons, and so on. The solar system has been proved that there are 9 planets including the controversial Pluto, and the route is also exact according to astronauts. Nobody should be worried about other organisms in space that are harmful, because nothing was examined or noticed by space organisms. The only harmful object would be meteorites and black holes, but we must prepare safety before hand.

3. Both Columbus and Magellan had a hard time finding someone to pay for their trips. If it wasn't for the Spanish monarchy, these men would never have been able to afford the financial cost of their adventures on their own. Finding someone to pay for your space expedition is going to be tricky too. Where would you go to gain the funding you need to pay for your space exploration trip? What would you say to the leaders of that nation to convince them of the benefits your expedition would have for their country? - First of all, it is indeed difficult to get such a great funding backup supporting your journey, but you must find a way to make the leaders of the nation interested in your idea. It is more likely to be able to get help to go rich nations that can fund it like U.S.A, China, and other rich and industrialized countries. Also, adequate information and plans and equipment must be important because even a rich nation would not give any trust to a journey that has 0 % of succeeding. I think NASA would convince the nations for you if they are interested in your way.
