[Speech Rule In Korea]
 * March 10. 2010**

The Speech rule in Korea is like the rule in US Constitution. People are not allowed to spread unknown rumors or arguments about the government or the president. Also, they cannot talk about stuff that people or the citizens of the Korea would be all offensive about. One thing different about the constitution of US between Korea is that people are not allowed to speak in favor about North Korea. They cannot talk about supporting communism that North Korea possess.

[Gun Control]
 * March 10. 2010**

Gun Control will not reduce the number of violent crime Gun Control is ineffective in reducing crime rates because the gun laws control the types of firearms that my be sold in the markets, and contain qualification which people needs to purchase guns. Also, the regulation of the gun control have been strong enough to prevent crimes due to gun control. There have also been studies about gun control, which number of studies from 1970s to 1980s found no evidence of gun control reducing the crime rates. Some studies have told that gun control have no affect on rates of violence, instead the rates can be attributed to back ground of social conditions. Usage of gun has many different ways. When gun can cause crime, it can also prevent crime in the name of protection. For following reasons, gun control is ineffective in reducing crime rates.

Misuse of gun control People have right to be free from gun violence. The Second Amendment of the Constitution of USA, has made in 19th century, and as centuries move on, and now we are in 21st century, where we face some new problems that government did not have to deal about before 200 years. The definition of defense and protection can change to crime in any time for the people who possessed the gun, and people have right to be free from the threat of gun violence.

[Life on Mars]
 * September 21st 2009**

- Would you volunteer for the mission? No, because there are no facts about the aliens, which means it can be very dangerous. I want to know about the aliens and find information about it, but I don't want to sacrifice myself for something that's not have been proven to be safe. Also, I am afraid the shock it will bring to people. If the aliens are much stronger and smarter than we expected, people will be in panic that there will going to be a chaos in Earth. If we have to find about the alien, at least I hope I wouldn't be the one who have to tell about the alien to people.

- What sort of people you suppose would volunteer for this kind of mission? I think people who are very adventurous and interested in spaces would volunteer for this kind of mission. Since there are no scientific information proven about space, it may be a dangerous adventure, and I think only people who are very adventurous would be risk themselves and go to the spaces. Also people who are interested in spaces, such as scientists, would want to go and find about, partly because it's their job. They may just simply want to know more things about it because they are interested.

- What would they have to gain? They would have to gain enough experience in spaces because in order for them to go to mars, they would have deal with space before they deal with mars. Also, they would have to be educated how to deal with the aliens if they get to see one. Since aliens are the most dangerous but the interesting thing to find about, to lower the risks they would have to take, they would need enough info about how to act when they see a alien.

- What, if anything could go wrong? The first and the most dangerous thing that could go wrong is alien. There are no information about aliens in Earth yet, that we don't know how they look like, whether they can think or whether they are strong. If the aliens they meet in the Mars are much smarter and stronger than us, the people who went to Mars would be in great danger. Also, they could have technology problem, such as space suit and spaces ship(?). If there are technology problem while they are going to Mars, we would totally lose the people. Because there are so many things we don't know and we are not sure about, anything that happen, may come as danger.

- What technological advances would have to occur before this could actually happen? We obviously would need to have better spaceship and space suit because no spaceship that carries human was able to reach the Mars yet. Also, we couldn't invent any spaces suit that can stand the heat at Mars. To just reach the Mars, we would need proper spaceship and space suit. We would need some kind of technology that would able to carry something that may be dangerous. It would also have to be able to hold explosion and other dangerous factors that could happen from things from Mars, which we would have to bring to Earth to find about.

[Questions] - In order for me to extend the Age of Exploration into outer space, we need to invent some tools that may help us travel to other planets and solar systems. Some new technology that will allow us to explore bigger part of the outer space to make rockets that can stand in extremely low or high temperature. Universe is formed mainly with the sun, and Earth is about at the middle. If people try to explore other planets, it would be whether extremely higher or lower than Earth, that in order for us to explore those planets, first we need to invent rockets that would get us to the planets.

 * 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?

- Nowadays, universe is the only place people couldn't reach yet. Because there are such a little information about universe, some people have fears that people in 15&16 century had. People worry about getting to find about new place, and they worry about their safty. However, people shouldn't worry about it because there are not enough things that would make us humans dangerous in universe yet. Also, when we explore other planets, we use machines and robots instead of human to find about other planets. Finding about the new place may be dangerous, but we are prepared for all the dangers that we expect, and people should know that some dangers are the risk we should take for bigger accomplishment.
 * 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?

- I would ask my country, or government to pay fo my space expedition because I believe our country's government have responsibility to help people who are trying to find about something that nobody ever found yet. If I really have ability to bring up the expedition, I would show them my ability, and convince them by showing, not telling. People believe what they see. If I am able to show them my ideas and if it is worth it, they will pay, or support me.
 * 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
