Comment on In Moral Defense of Teaching Illegally in Korea 불법으로 한국에서 영어 교사의 도덕성을 옹호 by 조주성

Good luck. Korea is very homogeneous ethnical identify first country of which collective superiors individuals. Qausi-Lockean notion of property exists but property and money are seen to be evils demorizing forces to human conscious. Thousands of years of proctectionism (not just of economics, but of culture too) have confined Koreans to become closed minded about thinking for themselves. I forced myself to be served in army by government for 2 years like a prisoner. But I am hopeful that freedom message will reach here as well. Until then, I am a crazy person here, an ideologue, a dreamer, a nothing.

Thanks for your best wishes and your excellent suggestion, Peter. I’m afraid that maintaining a forum would require more time than I’m willing to invest in this, but I’ll definitely keep it in mind should that change.

Good luck with that! It will be a welcome change in South Korea, with its recent spread of religion. I would recommend using a forum/blog template to manage the site with contriubting editors. Many of these tools are available online with hosting packages.

Comment on Koreans Demand Embargo of American Beef 한국인이 미국산 쇠고기 수요가 출항 by rokobjectivism

Excellent observation, Richard. Protectionism is rampant here…even down the street at CGV! The manager there was telling me how the ratio of foreign to Korean movies that can be released at theaters here is heavily regulated.

This heavy-handed government ’support’ of the Korean film industry is one of the main reasons why we have to wait so long for good films to get here (and why some aren’t shown at all). What is the result? The illegal production and distribution of pirated films on a grand scale.

This is isn’t unlike the education industry, where government meddling only encourages unethical business practices (as you point out).

There is one other reason for the crackdowns and fines on non-visa English teachers. English teaching is part of the Lucrative Private Education business here in Korea. And so, discouraging Free-lancing foreigners is really another form of Protectionism. The same reason why Chevrolets are as rare as hen’s teeth.
They could just as easily provide a legitimate means for Foreign native English teachers to become licensed and independent. But they don’t and they also don’t properly oversee the Private institutions which have widely differing standards and very little effectiveness in helping their students actually master the Language.
