According to the 37th Article, section 2, the constitution states that they can restrict citizens from freedom of speech when they are saying or writing something

that will mess up the order, or that’s threatening the safety of the country.

But I guess we don’t really have a nice “freedom of speech” system since cases like Minerva happened. To tell briefly about the case Minerva, Minerva is a

nickname used in a internet blog. This person Minerva, wrote prophecies about funds, stocks, and financial crisis. And many people believed his prophecies,and they

were worried about their stocks, and funds. And the foreign exchange rate begun to go up and down and up and down, making our financial status unstable. In his

blog, he wrote about his prophecies about the government, and what decisions are they going to make. Of course, it was wrong. Few days later he was arrested. His

charged of writing wrong facts about things.

I do agree that it was very wrong of him to make prophecies and make a great number of people worried about their stocks and funds, and shaking up our

foreign exchange rate, but it was just an opinion. The things he wrote about the government, it’s just a opinion. I say that it’s not really a crime, but he was arrested.

Even though we have most of our freedom of speech, the government can restrict us from saying several things.

In Korea, possessing gun is illegal unless you are in military. If you are found with a gun, it goes against the gun, swords, gunpowder control law, 70th article, you can be locked in

a cell maximum 10 years, or 20000000 won penalty fine.

CHRISTINA KOO:D

Would you volunteer for the mission? Yes or No? NO Why/Why not? Yes, I would love to have the honor to be a volunteer and discover new things however I don’t want to go and check out thing that wasn’t discovered yet because we would never know if it’s safe or not. And I might not find any thing there too. I don’t want to sacrifice myself, I want others to sacrifice themselves so I can see if it’s safe or not. What sort of people do you suppose would volunteer for this kind of mission? I suppose brave and people who are curious about the space will go. The kind of people who always wants to try out new things. What would they have to gain? If they actually found anything, they would gain enormous fame and they would get fonds for another trip to discover something else. What, if anything could go wrong? Well, the space ship could go wrong, or the communication can be lost. Also they can meet some unknown creature, and get killed. Everything can go wrong in space since there’s no air. What technological advances would have to occur before this could actually happen? Maybe flying cars, and some cell phones that might work in space? They may have internet in space too. By the time we are actually going go to mars to discover something, it would be maybe the 23 or 24th century.

The **Age of Exploration** did not end once Christopher Columbus discovered the New World in 1492 or after Portuguese sailor Ferdinand Magellan navigated around the world in 1519. Today, our explorations take us into outer space where we have sent both [|men to the moon] and [|machines to other planets]. Do you believe that man will discover new worlds, resources, and life forms in outer space the same way that earlier explorers did when they traveled the seas?

Imagine that you are a modern day explorer like Prince Henry the Navigator or Christopher Columbus who wants to explore the wonders of outer space. Below are questions Prince Henry and Christopher Columbus had to overcome and find answers to in order to make their expeditions possible. What answers do you come up with for the following questions? Post your answers on your wiki page.

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?

I think the major two things we need when we are trying to live in space is the technology to make ozone, and a air converter. The reason we need the machine that makes ozone is, first, we have to remake our earth's ozone. And second, we need ozone to live in another planet, because without ozone, we would burn and suffer from the ultraviolet rays. Also, we need air converter because we have limited source of oxygen and other needed gases since our trees are dying from our littering and wasting. We need oxygen if we want to go to space.

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?

Since I'm a Christian, I don't believe in aliens, monsters, or anything else related to that. (I don't mean to criticize)However unlike me, I saw a number of people actually believing in the aliens, ET, monster or somewhat creature in outer space. I believe that's all from our inner fears, and curiosity towards new things. In addition, Bible didn't really mention about aliens or outer space creatures.

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

Let's take a example. You have two teachers. One is from harvard, and one didn't even go to college. Which teacher would you prefer? Who would to listen to and pay attention? Majority of the people will listen and pay attention to the harvard teacher, who had more education and has more knowledge. Why? Smart people have the power and the leadership, and it's already proved that he/she is someone you can rely and trust. So if I become famous, an do a great number of good things to the society and help the poors, and make a good reputation, people will eventually respect me and my ideas. Therefore being smart and nice would lead me to the fundings to my exploration. To the leaders of the countries, I would say that I will give 25%credit if I make it, and to trust me and have faith in me. I would emphasize the word "TRUST" and give a good impression by smiling the whole time.
