  • South Korea Section 3
    DEFENSE WHITE PAPER Message from the Minister of National Defense The year 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Since the end of the war, the Republic of Korea has made such great strides and its economy now ranks among the 10-plus largest economies in the world. Out of the ashes of the war, it has risen from an aid recipient to a donor nation. Korea’s economic miracle rests on the strength and commitment of the ROK military. However, the threat of war and persistent security concerns remain undiminished on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is threatening peace with its recent surprise attack against the ROK Ship CheonanDQGLWV¿ULQJRIDUWLOOHU\DW<HRQS\HRQJ Island. The series of illegitimate armed provocations by the North have left a fragile peace on the Korean Peninsula. Transnational and non-military threats coupled with potential conflicts among Northeast Asian countries add another element that further jeopardizes the Korean Peninsula’s security. To handle security threats, the ROK military has instituted its Defense Vision to foster an ‘Advanced Elite Military,’ which will realize the said Vision. As part of the efforts, the ROK military complemented the Defense Reform Basic Plan and has UHYDPSHGLWVZHDSRQSURFXUHPHQWDQGDFTXLVLWLRQV\VWHP,QDGGLWLRQLWKDVUHYDPSHGWKHHGXFDWLRQDOV\VWHPIRURI¿FHUVZKLOH strengthening the current training system by extending the basic training period and by taking other measures. The military has also endeavored to invigorate the defense industry as an exporter so the defense economy may develop as a new growth engine for the entire Korean economy. To reduce any possible inconveniences that Koreans may experience, the military has reformed its defense rules and regulations to ease the standards necessary to designate a Military Installation Protection Zone.

  • New York V. Steinberg
    584 N.Y.S.2d 770 79 N.Y.2d 673, 595 N.E.2d 845 The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Joel STEINBERG, also known as Joel Barnet Steinberg, Appellant. Court of Appeals of New York. June 11, 1992. Page 771 [79 N.Y.2d 675] [595 N.E.2d 846] Perry S. Reich, Steven M. Schapiro, Lindenhurst, and Mel Sirkin, New York City, for appellant. [79 N.Y.2d 677] Robert M. Morgenthau, Dist. Atty. (Mark Dwyer, Patricia Curran, Alan Gadlin, Paula Milazzo and Donald J. Siewert, New York City, of counsel), for respondent. [79 N.Y.2d 678] OPINION OF THE COURT KAYE, Judge. Defendant's appeal from a conviction of first degree manslaughter, involving the death of six-year-old Lisa Steinberg, centers on his contention that only a person with medical expertise can form the requisite intent to cause serious physical injury to a child by failing to obtain medical care. We conclude that this contention, as well as the several others defendant advances, lack merit, and that the Appellate Division order sustaining the conviction, 170 A.D.2d 50, 573 N.Y.S.2d 965, should be affirmed. I. In the evening of November 1, 1987, defendant and Hedda Nussbaum were at home in their one-bedroom Greenwich Village apartment, with their two "adopted" children, Lisa, then six years old, and Mitchell, 16 months old. Nussbaum was in the kitchen with Lisa while defendant dressed in the bedroom for his dinner appointment with a friend. Lisa went into the bedroom to ask defendant to take her with him.

  • Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men? a Debate'
    H-Histsex Lauritsen on Farrell and Svoboda and Sterba, 'Does Feminism Discriminate against Men? A Debate' Review published on Thursday, May 1, 2008 Warren Farrell, J. Steven Svoboda, James P. Sterba. Does Feminism Discriminate against Men? A Debate. New York: Oxford University Press, 2008. 258 pp. $39.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-19-531282-9; $17.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-19-531283-6. Reviewed by John Lauritsen (Independent Scholar) Published on H-Histsex (May, 2008) Does Feminism Cause Injustice to Men? The title of this book is not ideal, though my own may be no better. Either way, we must first define "feminism" in order to discuss whether or not it injures the rights of men. One Trotskyist group makes a distinction between "women's liberation" (good) and "feminism" (bad). Christina Hoff Sommers distinguishes between "feminism" (good) and "gender feminism" (bad).[1] Camille Paglia describes herself as "absolutely a feminist," but sharply criticizes "PC feminism."[2] Wendy McElroy distinguishes three forms: "liberal feminism" (the ideology of the 1960s); "gender feminism" (the dogmatic, men-are-the-enemy form); and "individualist feminism" (her own preferred form).[3] The trouble is that very few people observe distinctions, and are likely to end up examining both the good and the bad aspects of a single ideology. In an interview with Steven Svoboda, Warren Farrell said: "I'm a 100 percent supporter of the portions of feminism that are empowering to women and a 100 percent opponent of the portions that hone victimhood as a fine art".[4] The title of the book is also misleading, as there is no true debate.

  • “It's a Hard-Knock Life”: the Dark Side of Adoption and Child Welfare
    “IT’S A HARD-KNOCK LIFE”: THE DARK SIDE OF ADOPTION AND CHILD WELFARE IN AMERICAN HISTORY A Senior Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in American Studies By Catherine H. Jones Washington, D.C. April 24, 2019 Copyright © 2011 Catherine H. Jones All rights reserved ii “IT’S A HARD-KNOCK LIFE”: THE DARK SIDE OF ADOPTION AND CHILD WELFARE IN AMERICAN HISTORY Catherine H. Jones Thesis Adviser: Kathleen Guidroz, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to address the question: why were the victims of three high-profile adoption scandals, The Orphan Trains, Georgia Tann and the Tennessee Children’s Home Society, and St. Joseph’s Catholic Orphanage, silenced, and how did this silencing prevent the public from becoming aware of both the flaws within the United States adoption system and the need for reform? In analyzing these three scandals as distinct but interconnected case studies through their coverage in various newspapers, contemporary to each scandal, Jones compared the images surrounding the adopting system promoted by the media and examined how these portrayals shaped perspectives about the victims of the flawed adoption system. This thesis reveals how the benevolent images of the child welfare system undermined the complaints of those who fell victim to its pitfalls and allowed for their continued abuse and neglect, and more specifically abuse and neglect on behalf of an institution built on the promise that it would protect and provide for destitute children.

  • Adoption As Intervention. Meta-Analytic Evidence for Massive Catch-Up and Plasticity in Physical, Socio-Emotional, and Cognitive Development
    Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry 47:12 (2006), pp 1228–1245 doi:10.1111/j.1469-7610.2006.01675.x The Emanuel Miller Memorial Lecture 2006: Adoption as intervention. Meta-analytic evidence for massive catch-up and plasticity in physical, socio-emotional, and cognitive development Marinus H. van IJzendoorn and Femmie Juffer Centre for Child and Family Studies, Leiden University, The Netherlands Background: Adopted children have been said to be difficult children, scarred by their past experiences in maltreating families or neglecting orphanages, or by genetic or pre- and perinatal problems. Is (domestic or international) adoption an effective intervention in the developmental domains of physical growth, attachment security, cognitive development and school achievement, self-esteem, and beha- viour problems? Method: Through a series of meta-analyses on more than 270 studies that include more than 230,000 adopted and non-adopted children and their parents an adoption catch-up model was tested. Results: Although catch-up with current peers was incomplete in some developmental domains (in particular, physical growth and attachment), adopted children largely outperformed their peers left behind. Adoptions before 12 months of age were associated with more complete catch-up than later adoptions for height, attachment, and school achievement. International adoptions did not lead to lower rates of catch-up than domestic adoptions in most developmental domains. Conclusions: It is concluded that adoption is an effective intervention leading to massive catch-up. Domestic and inter- national adoptions can be justified on ethical grounds if no other solutions are available. Humans are adapted to adopt, and adoption demonstrates the plasticity of child development.

    PHENOMENAL BODIES, PHENOMENAL GIRLS: HOW YOUNG ADOLESCENT GIRLS EXPERIENCE BEING ENOUGH IN THEIR BODIES by HILARY ELIZABETH HUGHES (Under the Direction of Mark D. Vagle) ABSTRACT Drawing on philosophers (Ahmed, 2006; Fanon, 1986; Heidegger, 1927, 1962, 1992; Merleau-Ponty, 1962) and social science scholars (Dahlberg, Dahlberg, & Nystrom, 2008; Vagle, 2009, 2010, 2011; van Manen, 1990, 2000) for this phenomenological study, I asked what it was like for the seventh grade girls who participated with me in a year-long writing group to experience moments where they found themselves in bodily-not-enoughness: moments when someone or something was telling them they were not enough of something in their bodies. Using a multigenre magazine format for the dissertation, I describe how I learned—as an adult, a qualitative researcher, a middle grades teacher, and a teacher educator—from these seventh grade girls how to be-enough in my own body, by illustrating various moments when some of the girls seemed to talk-back-TO those societal messages telling them they were not pretty- enough, thin-enough, English-speaking-enough, white-enough, popular-enough, or smart-enough by embodying some kind of resistance-to those messages. I then suggest that if we as adults, qualitative researchers, middle grades educators, and teacher educators wish to try and understand better how female young adolescents of color experience living in their bodies, we should begin listening differently so that we can begin seeing/knowing/thinking the bodies of young adolescents,
