Intro

 This week, I learned about 'Social movement'. Social movement was interesting. I studied that a social movement includes countries, organizations and individuals. Therefore, I was became to know that social movement are difficult to define. The most interesting thing is that Wearing the clothes, eating the rice there is no social movement. Social movement in not a change of simple day-to-day. Social movement indicates us life of the overall.

Discussion

Topic 1: What are some of the issues that modern Korean social movements are concerned about?

 In Korea today, there were some social movements. I was concerned about the sexual minorities. In the past, homosexuality was not allowed. In Korea, people were considered that gay is strange person. Through the emergence of a new generation to pursue a free atmosphere, the sexual minorities actively express their position. In today, they actively do campaign and various activities. For example, in Seoul, the sexual minority do campaign in order to their rights. However, there are some opposite minorities in today, than the past, that number was much reduced. Like this, we need to have a correct perception of gender.
