에볼루션바카라사이트 that swept Asia forced a major reappraisal of the old model of government-business alliances and public management of private risks. In Korea this required a change in the development paradigm. In a controversial decision, South Korea's government has requested textbook publishers to ignore requests to eliminate examples of evolution from science textbooks for high school students. This includes evidence for the evolution of horses as well as the bird ancestral Archaeopteryx. 1. Evolution and Religion A creationist group from South Korea has successfully convinced textbook publishers to omit evidence of evolution from science textbooks for high school students. The Society for Textbook Revise, an independent offshoot from the Korea Association for Creation Research that wants to rid biology textbooks of “atheist materialism,” was behind the move. The STR asserts that such materialism creates an image of negativity for students, making them be skeptical. When the STR's campaign hit the news, scientists from all over the world expressed concern. In a letter addressed to the editor of Nature evolutionary biologist Jae Choe at Ewha Womans University in Seoul complained that South Korea had given in to religious prejudice. He was backed by colleagues across the country, who formed an organization called Evolution Korea to organize a petition against the changes to the textbooks. Some researchers are also concerned that the STR campaign could spread to other parts of the world, where the spread of creationism is increasing. The letter to Nature warned that the anti-evolution movement will push for textbook revisions in other countries, especially those with strong Christian and Muslim populations. South Korea has a particularly strong cultural background for the debate on evolution. 26 percent of South Koreans belong to of a religious group and the majority of them practice Christianity or Buddhism. Many Koreans also follow Ch'ondogyo, an ideology based on Confucian principles that is a strong advocate of social harmony, individual self-cultivation, and self-respect. Ch'ondogyo is a belief system that teaches that humans are one with Hanulnim, the God of the Sun, and that the heavenly blessings can be obtained through the good deeds of a person. All of this has provided fertile ground for the spread of creationism. Multiple studies have shown students with religious backgrounds to be more reluctant to learn about evolution than those who don't. The underlying causes of this phenomenon remain unclear. Students with a religious background might be less familiar with scientific theories, making them more susceptible to the creationists influence. Another factor could be that students with religious backgrounds might view evolution as an idea that is not a religion, which makes them less comfortable. 2. Evolution and Science In recent times, the scientific community has been concerned about anti-evolution initiatives in schools. A 2009 survey revealed that nearly 40 percent of Americans believe that biological evolution is wrong and that believing in it could be in conflict with their convictions about religion. Many scientists believe that, despite the success of creationism the best method to stop this movement is to educate the public about the evidence for evolution. Scientists are accountable to instruct their students in science, which includes the theory of evolution. They also need to educate the public on the process of scientific research and how knowledge is confirmed. They must also clarify that scientific theories are often challenged and re-examined. However, misinformation about the nature and purpose of scientific research can fuel anti-evolution views. Some people interpret the term “theory” as a hunch or a guess. In the realm of science theories are thoroughly tested and verified using evidence. A theory that survives repeated testing and observations becomes a scientific concept. The debate over the theory of evolution is a wonderful occasion to discuss both the importance of scientific methodology and its limitations. It is essential that people understand that science does not provide answers to questions about life's purpose or meaning, but rather provides a mechanism for living things to grow and change. A comprehensive education should include exposure to all major fields of science including evolutionary biology. This is important because many jobs and decisions require people understand the way science operates. The vast majority of scientists around the world believe that humans have evolved through time. In a recent study that predicted the views of adults on the consensus around this issue those with higher levels of education and science knowledge were found to be more likely believe that there is a broad agreement among scientists regarding the evolution of humans. People with more religious faith and less science knowledge are more likely to disagree. It is essential that educators emphasize the importance of knowing the general consensus on this issue, so that people have a solid basis for making informed choices about their health care, energy use and other policy issues. 3. Evolution and Culture Cultural evolution is a close relative of the popular evolutionary theory. It explores how humans and other organisms learn from each other. Researchers in this field employ explanatory tools and investigative models derived from evolutionary theorists. They also go back to the prehistoric human to find the origins of culture. This approach also recognizes that there are some differences between biological and cultural characteristics. While biological traits are typically inherited all at once (in sexual species, during fertilization) but cultural traits can be acquired over a protracted period of time. As a result, the acquisition of one characteristic can affect the development of another. In Korea the emergence of Western style elements in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was the result an intricate sequence of events. One of the most important was the appearance in Korea of Japanese occupation forces that introduced Western clothing and hairstyles. After that, when Japan departed Korea in the 1930s, a portion of these trends began to change. At the close of World War II, Korea was once more united but this time under the rule of the Choson dynasty. Today, Korea is an economic and political power. Despite the current global financial crisis, the economy of Korea has been growing steadily over the last decade and is expected to continue its healthy growth in the future. The current government is facing a variety of challenges. One of the most significant is its inability to develop a coherent policy to tackle the economic crisis. The crisis has revealed the weaknesses of the country's economy policies, including its excessive dependence on foreign investment and exports that may not be sustainable over the long term. As the crisis has shattered the confidence of investors, the government must rethink its economic strategy and come up with alternatives to boost domestic demand. It must also reform the incentive monitoring, monitoring, and discipline systems that are currently in place to ensure an environment that is stable for the financial sector. This chapter outlines several scenarios of how the Korean economy might develop after the crisis. 4. Evolution and Education The challenge for teachers of evolution is to teach evolutionary concepts that are appropriate for various stages of development and ages. For example, teachers must be sensitive to the diversity of religions in their classrooms and create an environment where students with religious and secular views are comfortable with learning about evolution. Moreover, teachers need to understand common misconceptions about evolution, and how to address these in their classrooms. Teachers must also have easy access to the numerous resources that can be used to teach evolution. In this regard, the Thinking Evolutionarily Convocation was an important step in bringing together evolutionary scientists and educators from a range of sectors to discuss the most effective methods of teaching evolution. Participants included representatives from scientific societies as well as educational research, officials of government funding agencies as well as curriculum developers. The convergence of these diverse groups helped to identify a shared set of recommendations that will serve as the foundation for future actions. A key recommendation is that the subject of evolution should be included in every science curriculum at every level. To achieve this goal it is recommended that the National Science Education Standards (NRC) call for evolution to be taught in an integrated manner across all life sciences with a progression of ideas that are developmentally appropriate. Furthermore, a new publication from the NRC provides guidance for schools on how to integrate evolution into the science curriculum. Numerous studies have shown that a more comprehensive teaching of evolution is associated with greater student knowledge and belief in the concept of evolution. It is difficult to quantify causal effects in the classroom, since the curriculum for schools do not change in a random manner and are influenced by the timing of the state board of education and gubernatorial elections. To overcome this limitation I employ a longitudinal dataset that allows me control for state and years fixed effects and individual-level variations in the beliefs of teachers about evolutionary theory. Another important finding is that teachers who are more comfortable teaching about evolution report having fewer personal barriers to doing so. This is in line with the notion that a faculty with more confidence is less likely to avoid discussing evolution topics in the classroom and might be more likely employ strategies like an approach to reconciliation that is known to increase undergraduate student acceptance of evolution (Harms and Reiss, 2019; Tolman et al., 2020).
