This exhibition provided only objective information about hijab, a traditional Muslim woman known as a dress that suppresses women's human rights, and thus changed my view of hijab, which had only negative perceptions.
Until I went to the exhibition, I thought that hijab would be a very closed, coercive, and highly regulated outfit that suppressed freedom of dress as a symbol of Islamic culture.
This is because violence and deaths related to hijab regulations have often been reported when broadcasts such as TV and YouTube deliver world events.
However, Iran is the only country among the 57 OIC countries that legislated hijab in this exhibition, and Muslim women were not reluctant to wear hijab, but rather positively viewed it as a costume that revealed religion and identity.
After learning that before having proper information about the hijab, I was obsessed with provocative images, such as violent events that are often told, I began to reflect on whether I was looking at the hijab only from a narrow perspective.

Through my visit to the 419 Museum, I learned a new historical story of Yoon Soo-ja, who participated in the 419 Revolution. She was an ordinary student in the third grade of Gwangju Girls' High School at the time, but she resented the state-led presidential fraud election and vice presidential fraud election on March 15, 1960, and participated in the April 19 Revolution protest to correct it. So, in order to escape the surveillance of the police and teachers guarding the school gate, she crossed the fence near the back gate and went into the city, shouting slogans such as "March 15 re-election for fraudulent elections," before being discovered by the police and imprisoned in the auditorium of Seoseok Elementary School. But despite this police repression, she left the auditorium again, rejoined the protesters around 9:30, and fainted bleeding from damage caused by a bullet from somewhere while on a mission to deliver stones using a school uniform skirt. Her vivid historical testimony reminded me once again that the peaceful and democratic vote that is taken for granted today was won as a result of the efforts and struggles of countless people at the time.

The 5.18-related place I would like to introduce is the 5.18 Memorial Park located at 152 (Ssangchon-dong), Naebang-ro, Seo-gu, Gwangju. This civic park, created by Gwangju City in November 1996 and completed in 1998 to commemorate the 5.18 democratization movement—the spiritual center of the Korean democratization movement—features a 5.18 commemorative cultural center, Daedong Square, and a memorial sublimation space, allowing people to experience the high level of civic consciousness and the spirit of democratic human rights of Gwangju citizens at that time. The main attraction of the place is the "Person on Ground" statue, which represents the images of the people at the time and expresses the courage and aspiration of the people who participated in May 18th for democracy. The most special reason I want to introduce this place is that it did not simply make the May 18 incident, a painful and proud history of Gwangju, a historical event of the past to commemorate and mourn, but it has been incorporated into citizens' daily lives as a place to rest comfortably while remembering the May 18 incident, showing that it is not just the past but an event that is still influential in the present. In conclusion, I think it is meaningful to cultivate the democratic spirit of everyone who visits this place, and I believe this place, which not only provides simple information but also revives various conveniences and meanings for the people, directly shows what "correct administrative activities" we should pursue.

Mrs. Lee, an interviewee in her early 50s from the construction industry, underscored the pressing issue of street trash disposal in Gwangju, attributing it to a widespread lack of environmental sensitivity among the populace, and advocated for a multifaceted approach to address this challenge, delineating three key solutions aimed at fostering a cleaner urban environment. Firstly, she underscored the necessity of persistent government-led educational campaigns aimed at fostering a shift in the attitudes and behaviors of litterers. Secondly, she advocated for the implementation of stricter penalties by governmental bodies to deter illegal dumping practices effectively. Lastly, she proposed an increase in the availability of street trash bins by Gwangju's local authorities to mitigate the inconvenience associated with waste disposal. Furthermore, Mrs. Lee emphasized the significance of addressing the ethical and environmental implications of roadside garbage dumping, stressing the imperative for governmental and municipal bodies to spearhead the implementation of these solutions.

I think the professor assigned this exhibition to make us feel the way modern administrative welfare looks.
First of all, by making them learn the process of learning about hijab through the exhibition, they realized that knowing is a very important action that essentially correctly approaches an object and becomes the starting point for acknowledging and accepting the other person's appearance without rejecting or surprising me or others.
As I learned about administration, it helped me understand that this exhibition is an administrative cultural policy that improves people's hostility or misperception of other cultures and protects the rights and interests of Muslims.
In addition, while learning about welfare, it was helpful to understand that "welfare" does not just improve people's material discomfort, but also provides necessary services to various people, including immaterial and abstract concepts such as people's perceptions, through policies such as exhibitions.
Therefore, I think the reason why the professor chose this exhibition is that we could feel the importance of knowing, which is the basis of administration and welfare, that administrative and welfare policies are implemented in a cultural way, and that modern administrative welfare, in which the value of "diversity" and "understanding" has become important.

I think today's young people have been greatly influenced by the April 19 Revolution, politically and socially. This is because it first instilled in the people the foundation and courage to resist the unilateral and unfair exercise of public power by the government and the police, and established democratic values, indicating that if this happens to them or if it happens to them in the future, they should be corrected through protests. It can also be said that the April 19 Revolution served as an opportunity to improve citizens' freedom in that it allowed them to make political expressions freely in their daily lives by correcting the policies of the government and police, which had been oppressive and forced to censor and ridicule the people at the time. And most of all, the young people of today realize the importance of supporting a presidential candidate worthy of their political will through this incident and electing that person as president, and expressing it to everyone in every five-year presidential election, which modern young people can say that they are living under the wide influence of the April 19 Revolution. In conclusion, the current youth are living by enjoying the values of freedom, equality, and democracy established by the April 19 Revolution in their daily lives.

The cinematic focus of my discussion pertains to "A Taxi Driver," helmed by director Jang Hoon, which delves into the true narrative of German journalist Jürgen Hintspeter and taxi driver Kim Sa-bok, who bravely exposed the realities of the May 18 Democratic Movement to a global audience. Within the film's narrative framework, 'Gwangju' is depicted as a locale besieged by the government's stringent control over media channels, yet remains a beacon of democratic aspirations, with 'democracy' emerging as the paramount value sought by the resilient citizens of Gwangju, even amidst relentless repression and hardship. The reason for thinking so is that the main character and other characters living in the Seoul area say no one knows the situation in Gwangju, and Gwangju citizens who were protesting are ruthlessly assaulted and suppressed by soldiers. Nonetheless, amidst adversity, Gwangju's inhabitants persist in their quest for truth, beseeching the protagonists to broadcast their reality to the wider world, even at great personal peril. In summary, through its poignant portrayal of Gwangju's struggles and the unwavering resistance of its populace against governmental oppression, the film presents "Gwangju" as the epicenter of a suppressed democracy, elevating "democracy" itself as a historical tenet cherished by countless individuals, thus underscoring the enduring significance of "democracy" and reminding contemporary audiences that its current state is not merely a natural progression over time, but a hard-won achievement forged through the unwavering dedication and sacrifices of Gwangju's inhabitants.

When asked about Gwangju's biggest environmental problem, a 23-year-old female interviewer, Miss Jung, a college student, recently suggested the following three solutions, stating that she believes it is a food waste problem because she saw the news that Gwangju produces the most food waste in the country. The first solution is to reduce food emissions through self-awareness and by changing people's habits of needlessly wasting food ingredients that they possess. Secondly, she also proposed that the government should reduce the amount of food waste that people unnecessarily produce by encouraging them to pay additional costs for the food waste they generate. The third solution involves properly informing people about the types of food waste that can and cannot be disposed of, achieved through campaigns led by Gwangju municipalities or by distributing promotional documents. Lastly, she highlighted that these food waste problems are significant environmental issues that must be addressed due to their close relationship with real-life problems, and she emphasized that the Gwangju local government should take proactive steps to change people's perceptions and behaviors regarding food waste by implementing the three solutions to alleviate the problem.
