Evolution Korea
South Korea's democracy is prone to populist inclinations. However, it's healthier than one would expect.
The country is looking for a new development paradigm. The Confucian culture, which stresses respect for the ancestors as well as gendered family relationships, continues to influence the society. There are signs that a secularist culture is beginning to emerge.
Origins
In prehistoric times the ancestors of the modern Koreans lived by hunting and gathering wild food. Then around 10,000 years ago they began to cultivate crops like millet and beans. They also raised livestock, and even made furs. These tribes formed tribal states one after the other in Manchuria and on the Korean peninsula. They also established a metallurgy industry, producing iron tools, including bronze. They traded with other states and introduced celadon, paper making block printing art styles, and writing to Japan.
Gojoseon was established in 2333 BCE on the southern peninsula. This state embraced Chinese culture which included Confucian Philosophy and Buddhism. During this period the people of Buyeo joined Gojoseon. Gojoseon had a hierarchical structure with a monarch and high-ranking officials were drawn from the landed aristocracy whereas the majority of the population was peasants. The state extracted taxes from the citizens and often required them to join the army or take part in projects for the government like building fortifications.
By the end of the period the state of Baekje was founded by Onjo who was a prince of Goguryeo and the son of Jumong who was the founder of Goguryeo. The new kingdom grew its territory to the southwest of the peninsula, and was at war with Goguryeo and China's commanderies in the area. Baekje incorporated aspects of Confucian beliefs into its official beliefs and made the male-centric concept of filiopiety as a law in 1390 CE. Under the cover of filiopiety fathers were responsible to their families. They must be obedient to everyone and respected even by their children and grandchildren.
Goryeo, who ruled from 918 until 1392 CE introduced the world to the Hangul alphabet based on the shapes made by the mouth when it was pronounced. This greatly improved communication between people and resulted in an explosion of the writing of Buddhist texts. Woodblock printing and movable type were also improved. It was at this time that the Samguk sagi, or 'History Of the Three Kingdoms' was first recorded in 1145 CE.
Development in Korea
The Korean peninsula was habitable from Neolithic times until. Early evidence of human settlements can be seen in the form of cist graves that were lined with stones, and adorned with valuable items like amazonite jewelry that were buried with the dead. Megalithic structures, referred to as dolmens, built from massive single stones, are prevalent throughout the country.
Gojoseon was the first state to be recognized during the first half of 1st millennium BCE. After that the peninsula was ruled by a variety of states during the Three Kingdoms period (57 BCbetween 635 and 57 BC CE) including Baekje, Goguryeo, and Silla. The northern region of the peninsula was occupied for a period by the Balhae Kingdom that historians do believe to be a true Korean state.
Following the Three Kingdoms arose the Proto-Three Kingdoms Period, also known as the Several States Period. Baekje, the most powerful of these states was weakened by the collapse of Goguryeo (676 CE) and was left with only its southern territories in Manchuria, and western region around Hwanghae Bay. Eastern Buyeo and the Gaya confederacy, prospered for

The Unified Silla Kingdom then emerged and the three kingdoms started to collaborate to expand their territories. In the final, Silla, with significant Chinese aid, conquered the other states and unified the peninsula in 935 CE.
As Korea enters the post-crisis period, its development paradigm appears to be changing. Those who are horrified by the costs of the old systems advocate a comprehensive program of liberalization of capital, labor and markets for products. On the other hand, people who support the old system try to protect it by promoting nationalist sentiments, and by inflating fears about potential job loss.
Academics and analysts are divided on the extent to which Korea's growth is being driven by these two trends. This article focuses on the five phases of Korea's evolution in terms of its political development: democratically illiberal democracies (1945-60) democratic autoritarianism (1961-72) authoritarian exceptionalism (1972-1877), democratic paternalism (2001-2002) and democratic participation (2002). This article also highlights important factors that appear to be shaping these processes.
Creationism in Korea
In South Korea, 26 percent of the population is Christian. Creationists have had success in promoting their views to this group. A 2009 survey showed that nearly a third of respondents did not believe in evolution. Of those, 41% said that there was no scientific evidence to support the theory 39% of respondents claimed that it did not align with their religious beliefs. 17 percent said they did not know what it meant. This level of doubt is similar to that of the United States where a similar percentage of people do not believe that humans evolved from lesser advanced species of life.
In the past, the majority of the anti-evolution movement in Korea was focused on teaching college students and

Fatahal.Com) in bringing them to Christ. In 1980 an all-day creation science seminar was held in Seoul during the World Evangelization Crusade. Drs. Henry Morris and Duane Giss of ICR were the keynote speakers. This event attracted a large number of professors, church leaders and scientists.
The success of the event led to the creation of the Korea Association of Creation Research on January 31st of 1980. The inaugural meeting was widely reported in national newspapers, including The Korea Times and Chosun Ilbo and also was well-received by the public.
KACR began publishing a monthly newsletter, CREATION, in which it published its activities and published articles on scientific evidence for creationism. It also translated slides and film strips from ICR and also some books on the subject of creationism, which were published outside of Korea. KACR members taught throughout the nation in universities and churches.
One instance of one KACR success story occurred at the KAIST university in Seoul. There, enough students were fascinated by the concept of creationism that they raised the funds and support needed to build a small museum on campus showing creationist models of fossils and other exhibits.
In addition to its activities, KACR has published a bimonthly magazine called CREATION. This magazine covers topics that pertain to the science of creation. It also sponsored a series of lectures by ICR staff. It has also created branches in local offices that offer talks and seminars to children and other community groups.
Evolution in South Korea
In the latter half of the 19th century and beginning of 20th, Korea moved toward a Westernised lifestyle. The traditional Korean dress, the hanbok, was replaced with miniskirts, and other fashion elements from abroad. In the same way, traditional Korean music styles were replaced by modern jazz and rock and roll. In the period of this transition the famous samulnori, also known as the masked dance-dramas were very popular. These dramatic pieces were performed with the accompaniment of shaman drums and various musical instruments.
The economic crisis has formed Korea's new model of development.
