 Last year, the whole country was in an uproar over 'half-price tuition' demonstrations. Many people are divided into pros and cons. The government made the National Scholarship(NS) as an alternative to half-price tuition. The total amount of money supporting higher education is approximately 1.8 trillion won through the NS by the government. The NS combined the Future Dream scholarship, the Hope Dream scholarship and the Superiority Dream scholarship. The NS is divided into two categories, type 1 and type 2. The minimum G.P.A to receive the NS is above 3.0 point. Type 1 is offered to students from the bottom 5 income groups(roughly 29 million won a year). Type 2 is also awarded to the students from the bottom 9 income groups(roughly 54 million won a year). According to Korea Student Aid Foundation(KOSAF), students from the bottom 9 income groups can receive about on average 25% discounted tuition. However, students' responses to this change have been unreceptive. | |

Above all, the introduction of the reorganized scholarship is good for many students and parents who have suffered from rising tuitions, but many side effects may occur when the standards of selection depend on family incomes. Therefore, I think it is better that they should be awarded to students depending on family debts and their real property as well as on family incomes. Furthermore, solutions should be created in order for students to repay educational expenses after they become members of society as a means of increasing the responsibility of university students and also in order for the government to cover the National Scholarship from the national budget at the same time. | |

On November 22nd, the Grand National Party passed the ratification about the Korea- U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA) unilaterally. During the last several months, the political confrontation between the ruling party and the opposition party was deep. The major issue of the ratification was the investor-state dispute settlement (ISD) clause. The ISD is a regulation where if foreign investors suffer commercial losses from laws or policies of the countries which they invest into, then they can file a suit with an international arbitration organization against the countries according to international law. | |

The centralization of information which was generated from the evolution of Information Society has high efficiency and convenience. I think, on the other hand, if illegal data spill took place due to poor management, the damage will have a big feature. The computer network of Nonghyup was paralyzed in April and Nate’s server hacking happened in July. These incidents have in common that two companies of awareness of security are too superficial. This is the same as driving a car without insurance. In order to make us comfortable from fear of leaking information, things are required : Following 'the privacy policy' taking effect on Sept.30, Raising awareness about security of the leaders who handle personal information, Recognizing investment in security as essential thing, Thinking people most important factor in security. Sites which collect personal information want to gather a lot of information as possible they can. However, innovation of trying to obtain the minimum private information is necessary. | |

Recently, big businesses which have been expected to have strict security system have been hacked. Some personal information from several websites has often been leaked due to hacking. | |
