My thinking about exhibition

Ooniii — 2024-03-17 12:22:51 UTC

Usually, people know that 'hijab' is used by Muslims. However, they don't know how many kinds or features there are. I have seen many foreigners wearing hijabs. When I was a child who didn't know much about hijab, I thought like this: 'It looks stuffy' and 'Should they do that?'. When I saw the exhibition, I felt that hijab is an area that non-religious people cannot prematurely talk about because it is a culture that has been fixed for a long time and is related to religion. I think this is a good exhibition that allows us to think and understand because there are not many opportunities to know about these things in other cultures.

Why the professor assigned this field trip?

Ooniii — 2024-03-17 13:16:10 UTC

This is my first time to see an exhibition as an assignment. What I felt when I went to see this exhibition is, 'If it were not for the assignment, would I have come to see it?'. This is because it was far from the exhibition hall that many people go to see. I heard that there has been a lot of debate about hijab since a long time ago. Someone says, 'It hurts women's rights,' and others say, 'Hijab is for women and means liberation and protection.' I think the professor told us to look at salam and Hijab to provide us with time to see and understand another culture as a different culture and an opportunity to accept it with a more receptive and open mind, not to exclude that values and thoughts are different. Understanding the attitude of acceptance and how to accept it in learning administration and understanding other cultures and values in learning welfare will be helpful.

Interview1

2024-04-15 09:55:16 UTC

Interviewee is a woman in her 20s. The interview was conducted with the consent of the interviewee to collect information and use data.

INTERVIEWER: What do you think is the biggest environmental problem in Gwangju?

INTERVIEWEE: In my experience, the biggest environmental problem in Gwangju is that there are not good places to throw away trash in public places such as Gwangju Stream or walking trails. I don't think it's just a problem in Gwangju. It's hard (laughs), but Gwangju Stream was the first thing that came to my mind because it is the representative river in Gwangju. When I see the garbage in Gwangju Stream, I feel like I'm neglecting it. There are a lot of trash because people and pets go there.

INTERVIEWER: What are the solutions?

INTERVIEWEE: Well, I think the most important thing to solve the problem is to install more trash cans first so that people can throw away the trash. Also, I think I did it often when I was in school, but I think we can protect the environment only when we raise citizens' awareness of the environment through environmental education and have regular management.

Interview2

2024-04-15 09:58:21 UTC

Interviewee is a woman in her 20s. The interview was conducted with the consent of the interviewee to collect information and use data.

INTERVIEWER: What do you think is the biggest environmental problem in Gwangju?

INTERVIEWEE: Environmental problems in Gwangju... I've never thought about it, but it's hard. These days, disposable products... You know, these things always come to mind. The biggest problem is that kind of household waste. The sanctions are not clear, so it feels like they are being used indiscriminately. One day, I went to a cafe and people picked up a bunch of napkins and threw them away without using them all. When I saw that, I thought it was a waste and serious thing.

INTERVIEWER: What are the solutions?

INTERVIEWEE: In the case of solutions, most of the household waste is disposable, so regulating it could be a solution. You can use recycled materials, multi-use containers, or you can get a discount when you use tumblers. You can also reduce street waste by installing a lot of street bins. If you look at the characteristics of cities with clear roads, you can see that there are a lot of street bins.

INTERVIEWER: Oh, tumblers and multi-use containers are increasingly being used. That's great. I think we need to be very conscious of that. Thank you for your response.

A historical story that I learned from an exhibit

Ooniii — 2024-05-12 12:12:48 UTC

The seven-member relief statue on the left and right sides of the 4.19 Revolution Memorial Tower in Gwangju is a relief statue that shows the portraits and records of the seven Gwangju students who died while protesting against the dictatorship of Syngman Rhee during the 4.19 Revolution. The oldest is Park Soon-hee, who was 21 years old at the time, and the youngest is Ko Joong-seok, who was 16 years old at the time, and it was surprising that all of them were high school students. This is because he has taken a just action as a democratic citizen ahead of social leaders such as professors and teachers as well as college students.
When the election was rigged on March 15, the nation's first demonstration to condemn the election took place in Geumnam-ro, Gwangju. On April 19, Gwangju Girls' High School, Jodaebu High School, and Gwangju Technical High School students, including Gwangju High School, held a protest. I learned that many other democratic things happened in Geumnam-ro, if not on May 18.

My opinion about how young people today are (or are not) influenced by this event

Ooniii — 2024-05-12 12:13:01 UTC

It is of great significance to have won democracy through the people's power. As a citizen, it is natural to find the right independently, but it is often difficult. However, there is a big difference in confidence and consciousness between what you have experienced and what you have not done. Korea has a lot of experience in reclaiming rights through protests and protests. However, I think there is a side in which the subjective consciousness, both nationally and regionally, becomes blurred over time. Therefore, if you work a little more on strengthening history education and consciousness education, it will help you continue the democratic spirit.

5.18 Democratic Movement Archives

Ooniii — 2024-05-25 16:14:21 UTC

On the first floor, the whole story, progress, and results of the 5.18 incident are recorded in detail under the theme of 'Uprising'. There are the map of the site of the uprising, the relics of the victims, and a model of reenactment of the situation at that time.

The theme on the second floor is 'record'. As the theme is 'record', everything about the uprising is recorded. Representatively, there are press photographs and newsletters of reporters at that time. In addition, photos from the time of the disaster and news releases reported abroad are displayed. There is also information on the compensation records on the day, which were submitted by victims at the time. In addition, there is a lot of information on movies and plays on the theme of the 5.18 Democratic Uprising.

The theme of the third floor is Heritage, which displays several examples of foreign countries registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites in connection with the human rights uprising. The 5.18 Gwangju Democratization Movement is also registered there, and the process leading up to its listing on UNESCO is described in detail in a chronological table. At the same time, there is also an exhibition called Memory Map: Artists of Geumnam-ro to commemorate the 44th anniversary, where artworks such as paintings, cassette tapes, songs, and posters are displayed.

A audio-visual media materials

This video shows the reality that democracy was suppressed in Gwangju. The situation in Gwangju, where democracy was lost and turned into a terrible battlefield, is well captured. When Jurgen Hintzpeter saw Chun Doo-hwan's inauguration as president, he used the expression 'a dictator who came to the throne in splendor and empty stomach'. He felt that he was lying in the Korean media, so he thought he should take responsibility for reporting it. If it wasn't for him, maybe Gwangju's democratization protest would have been dismissed and buried as a 'riot'. At the same time, I feel really grateful and don't think this should ever happen in the future.
