  • 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.

  • The Versatility of Microblogging
    www.spireresearch.com Side Click: The versatility of microblogging Microblogging is well-established globally as a way of keeping in touch with others about events occurring in their lives in real-time. Popular microblogging sites include Twitter in the U.S., Tencent QQ in China and Me2day in South Korea. Twitter has 140 million active users1, while China’s Tencent QQ has a staggering 721 million active user accounts2, ranking only behind Facebook in terms of being the most used social networking service worldwide. Microblogging allows users to combine blogging and instant messaging to post short messages on their profiles3; including small and conversational talk, self-promotion, spam and news 4 . On a deeper level, microblogging has altered the way people consume and generate information – not only democratizing the broadcasting of information but also enabling it to be done in real-time. Connecting to stakeholders There are several benefits to integrating microblogging into a business’s regular stakeholder communication regime. Consumers who “follow” a company’s products or services would be the first to know of any promotions. The company also benefits through obtaining prompt feedback and suggestions for improvement.

  • Gender and Information Literacy: Evaluation of Gender Differences in a Student Survey of Information Sources
    Gender and Information Literacy: Evaluation of Gender Differences in a Student Survey of Information Sources Arthur Taylor and Heather A. Dalal Information literacy studies have shown that college students use a va- riety of information sources to perform research and commonly choose Internet sources over traditional library sources. Studies have also shown that students do not appear to understand the information quality issues concerning Internet information sources and may lack the information literacy skills to make good choices concerning the use of these sources.

This study used a survey of college-aged students to evaluate a subset of student information literacy skills in relation to Internet information sources.
