¡°It is silly not to hope. Besides, I believe it is a sin.¡± It is an impressive line from The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Miller Hemingway. The old man, the protagonist of the book, fought against the biggest fish, he had ever encountered in his life. The fight lasted longer than expected. He tried to exhaust the fish by repeatedly tightening and loosening the fishing line, and in the end, he succeeded. However, he also had to fight off starving sharks which aimed for the fish. Eventually, the old man fought two battles with injured hands and shoulders, as while being isolated in the open sea. Contrary to what I expected, the exhausted old man never gave up. | |

Every April 5 is Arbor Day. Arbor Day is a celebratory day that encourages planting and caring for trees. The origins of Arbor Day are diverse. One of the most notable origins is that it corresponds to Feb. 25 in 677, when the Silla Kingdom expelled the Tang Dynasty¡¯s influence from the Korean Peninsula and completed unification. It is also the date corresponding to March 10 in 1493, when King Seong-jong of the Joseon Dynasty held a ritual at Seonnongdan-Altar (an altar outside Dongdaemun dedicated to the god of agriculture) and then personally farmed at Jeokjeon, land designated for ceremonial use where the king demonstrated agricultural practices. | |

Domestic violence and crimes against women are social issues worldwide. Policies aimed at ensuring women¡¯s safety and reducing gender-based violence are emerging as major challenges for governments. Spain enacted the Sexual Violence Consent Act, which criminalizes all sexual activity without explicit consent. Meanwhile, France introduced fines for street sexual harassment and implemented measures to enhance women¡¯s safety in public spaces. Korea is also making various efforts, including strengthening the legal response to digital sexual crimes. Amid this trend, the Victorian government in Australia appointed the world¡¯s first Parliamentary Secretary for Men¡¯s Behavior Change, attempting a unique and fundamental approach to gender equality and violence prevention. | |
