Evolution Korea The democratic system in South Korea is vulnerable to populist impulses. However, it's healthier than what one might expect. The country is searching for a new way of developing. The Confucian culture, which emphasizes respect for ancestors and as and gender-specific family relationships, continues to be influential in the society. There are signs of a secularist cultural trend emerging. Origins In prehistoric times, the ancestors of modern Koreans lived by hunting and gathering wild food. Around 10,000 years ago, they began to cultivate millet, beans, and other crops. They also raised livestock, and made furs. These people formed tribal states one after another in Manchuria and on the Korean peninsula. They also established a metallurgy industry, producing iron tools, including bronze. They traded with other states and introduced Celadon papermaking, block printing, art styles and a written language to Japan. In 2333 BCE Gojoseon was founded in the southern region of the peninsula. The state embraced Buddhism and adopted Chinese culture including Confucian philosophy. During this time the inhabitants of Buyeo were incorporated into Gojoseon. Gojoseon was a hierarchical society that included a monarch as well as top officials were drawn from the landed aristocracy whereas the majority of the population were peasants. The state collected taxes from the citizens and often required them to fight in the army or work on government projects such as building fortifications. Onjo the prince of Goguryeo who was also the son of Jumong, the founder of Goguryeo established the state of Baekje at the end of the time. The new kingdom grew its territory into the southwest of the peninsula, and was at war with Goguryeo and China's commanderies in the region. Baekje included elements of Confucian beliefs into its official beliefs and made the male-centric filiopiety concept as a law in 1390 CE. Under the guise of filiopiety fathers were accountable to their families and they must be revered and obeyed by all people, even their grandchildren and children. Goryeo, which would rule from 918 until 1392 CE established the Hangul alphabet built on the patterns created by the mouth when it was pronounced. This significantly improved the communication between people and resulted in an explosion of the writing of Buddhist texts. In addition, movable metal type printing was introduced and woodblock printing was improved. In 1145 CE the Samguk Sagi, or “History of the Three Kingdoms” was first recorded. Development in Korea The Korean peninsula was habitable from Neolithic times to. Early evidence of human settlements is evident in the form cist graves lined with stone, with precious items such as amazonite jewelry that were buried with the dead. Megalithic structures, referred to as dolmens and built of single large stones, are common in the country. In the first second half of the 1st millennium BCE, Gojoseon established itself as the first recognisable political state. The peninsula was later ruled by a number of states during the Three Kingdoms Period (57 BC-635 CE), including Baekje and Goguryeo. Additionally, the northern part of the peninsula was occupied by the Balhae kingdom, which the majority of historians do not consider to be a legitimate Korean state. Following the Three Kingdoms arose the Proto-Three Kingdoms Period, or Several States Period. Baekje is the most powerful of these states was weakened by the fall of Goguryeo (676 CE) leaving only its southern regions in Manchuria, and its western region around Hwanghae Bay. Eastern Buyeo as well as the Gaya confederacy, prospered for a while. The Unified Silla Kingdom then emerged and the three kingdoms started to collaborate to expand their territories. In the final, Silla, with significant Chinese aid, conquered the other states and unified the peninsula in 935 CE. As Korea is entering the post-crisis phase, its development paradigm appears to be in flux. Those who are appalled by the immense cost of the old system advocate the need for a comprehensive program of liberalization of capital as well as labor markets. On the other hand, supporters of the old system seek to protect it by promoting nationalist sentiments, as well as by exaggerating fears about possible job loss. Academics and analysts are divided about the extent to which Korea's growth is influenced by these two trends. This article assesses developments to date by analyzing five phases of Korea's political evolution including the illiberal democratic period (1945-60), democratic authoritarianism (1961-72), authoritarian exceptionalism (1972-87) democratic paternalism (1987-2001) and participatory democracy (2002 to the present). This article also identifies key factors that seem to influence these processes. Creationism in Korea In South Korea, 26 percent of the population is Christian. Creationists have made significant progress in promoting their beliefs to this segment. A survey in 2009 revealed that almost one third of respondents do not believe in the theory of evolution. Of the respondents, 41% believed that there was insufficient scientific evidence to support the theory 39% of respondents claimed that it did not align with their religious beliefs. 17% said they did not know what it meant. This level of disbelief is comparable to that in the United States, where a similar number of people are not convinced that humans evolved from earlier forms of life. In the past, most of the anti-evolutionist movement in Korea was focused on educating college students and in bringing them to Christ. A significant rise in interest in creation science began in the year 1980, when there was a four-day seminar held during the World Evangelization Crusade in Seoul which featured Drs. Henry Morris and Duane Gish of ICR as the featured speakers. The event attracted an impressive crowd of professors, scientists, and church leaders. The success of this event led to the founding of the Korea Association of Creation Research (KACR) on January 31st 1981. The meeting was covered extensively in the national press, including The Korea Times, Chosun Ilbo and The Korea Times. KACR began publishing a monthly newsletter, CREATION, where it published its activities and published articles on scientific evidence for creationism. It also translated several film strips and slides from ICR as well as some books on creationism that were published outside of Korea. KACR members taught throughout the country in churches and universities. One instance of an KACR success story was at the KAIST university in Seoul. Students at KAIST in Seoul were so fascinated by creationism that they raised money and got funding to construct a small creationist museum on campus. In addition to its activities, KACR has published a bimonthly magazine, CREATION. The magazine covers a variety of topics that pertain to the science of creation. It also sponsored a series lectures by ICR staff. It also has a network of local branch offices that give talks and seminars to schoolchildren and community groups. Evolution in South Korea In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, Korea began to adopt a more Westernized lifestyle. The hanbok, the traditional Korean dress, gave way to miniskirts and other style elements imported from abroad. In the same way, traditional Korean music styles were replaced by contemporary rock and roll and jazz. In the period of this transition, the famous samulnori or masked dancing-dramas were very popular. These dramatic pieces were performed with the accompaniment of shaman drums as well as different musical instruments. The economic crisis has shaped Korea's new model of development. The new regime's main challenge lies in the proper balance between state-led economic policies and market-based ones. It also requires a change in the incentives, monitoring, and disciplining policies that created the system prior to the crisis. These issues are examined in Chapters 3 and 4. Baekje, founded by Onjo, prince and third son of Jumong of Goguryeo, was founded by people from the Hangang River area, Buyeo, and other areas and also by a migrant from northern China. Baekje, one of the major regional powers in the 4th century extended its territory to Mahan in north and Jeollanam-do south. The kingdom was in constant conflict with Goguryeo, and the Chinese commanderies on the border. The decline of Silla between the 8th and 9th centuries led to the rise of powerful local factions. Gungye was a noble from Later Baekje, established a kingdom with Songak as its capital and exerted control over part of the present-day Jeolla and Chungcheong provinces. Later, he moved the capital to Wansanju and became a rival to Goguryeo. However, his rule was short-lived. After his defeat, Gungye was replaced by an influential local leader, Wang Geon, who united Goryeo with Baekje and Silla in 935. Later, Baekje was peacefully integrated into Goryeo as an alternative state. Wang Geon also introduced fundamental reforms and strengthened the centrally-run system. This marked the conclusion of the Three Kingdoms period. The Korean peninsula was later ruled by the Goryeo Dynasty.
