    2. S. Korea Denies Report on Summit in Japan's Fukushima.

    3. Japan have proposed that they want to hold a summit with China, Korea and Japan. Korea has stated that media has false information whether Korea will attend meeting or not. China Korea and Japan are leading Asian nations and refusal of this summit will cause some fraction between these nations. However, I believe that they preferable future will be for the Japanese to move the summit location of much more safer place.

    3. The government denied a Japanese news report Saturday that it has agreed to hold next week's summit with Japan and China at Japan's tsunami-hit area of Fukushima where a nuclear crisis is continuing despite months of efforts to curb it.

    The more human developed, the more smart viruses come.

    Human beings always try to defeat with unidentified viruses, and find the most efficient solution to disease unknown. However, viruses get stronger and smarter every time when we think we are safe. It is obvious that there will be more and more powerful viruses we cannot avoid and give us fatal damages in the future.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The unidentified virus that might have caused the death of a South Korean woman earlier this week does not seem to be spreading quickly, the nation's disease control agency said Wednesday.

    2.Half of singles have no interest in marriage

    3.Meaning of the marriage is not just union between men and women but union between family and the other family in Korean culture. And, in this circumstance, women have been forced to scarify themselves for not rational reasons but only because of Confucianism of Korean culture. Most of young people change their idea about the meaning of the marriage, but still the older generation thinks that it is reasonable to scarify rights of women during married life. And still most of problems that married women have are not improved. Our society encourages to get rid of the obstacles to decrease the positive concept of marriage. If we are not do anything about this problems, decrease in marriage has a bad effect birthrate directly.

    4.About half of Korean office workers said they were neutral about marriage, according to research. Although only 2.7 percent said they would not get married at all, 50.2 percent answered that either way was fine. Another 47.1 percent said they were definite about getting married in the future. The results differed between genders, as most men thought marriage was essential, while females were less likely to think so.
