Evolution Korea The economic crisis that swept Asia required a major review of the old system of government-business alliances and the management by the public of private risks. In Korea this meant an evolution of the development paradigm. In a controversial move South Korea's government has requested textbook publishers to ignore requests to eliminate examples of evolution in science books for high school students. This includes the evidence supporting the evolution of horses as well as the avian an ancestor Archaeopteryx. 1. Evolution and Religion A South Korean creationist group has convinced textbook publishers to remove evidence of evolution from high-school science texts. The Society for Textbook Revise, an independent offshoot from the Korea Association for Creation Research that wants to rid biology textbooks of “atheist materialism,” was behind the decision. The STR claims that such materialism creates a negative image for students, leading them to lose faith. Scientists around the globe expressed concerns when the STR campaign gained attention. Jae Choe, evolutionary biologist at Ewha Womans University, Seoul wrote in an open letter to Nature's editor that South Korea had succumbed to religious prejudice. His colleagues backed him from across the country who gathered into a group called Evolution Korea to organize an anti-textbook petition. Researchers are concerned that the STR campaign will be spread to other regions of the world where the belief in creationism is on the rise. The letter to Nature warned of the anti-evolution movement putting more pressure on textbook revisions, particularly in countries with large Christian and Muslim population. 에볼루션 룰렛 has a particularly powerful cultural backdrop for the debate on evolution. Twenty-six percent of the country's citizens belong to one of the religious groups and the majority of them adhere to Christianity or Buddhism. Additionally, a large portion of Koreans adhere to the Ch'ondogyo philosophy, which is based on Confucian principles that emphasizes social harmony and personal self-cultivation. Ch'ondogyo is a belief system that teaches that humans are one with Hanulnim the God of the Sun, and that heaven-bound blessings can be obtained by doing good deeds. All of this has provided an ideal environment for the spread of creationism. Multiple studies have shown students with religious backgrounds to be more reluctant to learn about evolution as compared to those who do not. However, the root causes of this phenomenon are not clear. Students who have a religious background may not be as familiar with the theories of science, making them more susceptible to creationists influence. Another factor could be that those with religious backgrounds might view evolution as an idea that is not a religion, which makes them feel uncomfortable. 2. 무료 에볼루션 and Science In recent years, anti-evolution campaigns in schools have raised concerns in the scientific community. A survey conducted in 2009 revealed that nearly 40% of Americans believe that biological evolution is a lie and that believing in it would conflict with their religious beliefs. Despite the popularity of creationism in certain states, many scientists feel that the best strategy to counter this movement is not to engage it, but to educate people about the evidence for evolution. Scientists are accountable to teach their students science that includes the theory of evolution. They must also inform the public about the research process and how knowledge is verified. They should explain how scientific theories are frequently challenged and changed. However, misconceptions about the nature and purpose of scientific research can lead to anti-evolution beliefs. For instance, many people may confuse the word “theory” with the common meaning of the word – a hunch or a guess. In science, however theories are thoroughly tested and verified using evidence. A theory that survives repeated testing and observations becomes a scientific concept. The debate over the theory of evolution is a wonderful chance to discuss the importance of scientific methodology and its limits. It is important for people to understand that science cannot answer questions about the purpose or meaning of life, but it is merely a means through which living organisms can grow and change. A well-rounded education should also include exposure to all major fields of science including evolutionary biology. This is crucial because the jobs that people have and the decisions they make require a understanding of how science functions. The majority of scientists around the world believe that humans have evolved over time. In a recent study that predicted the views of adults on the consensus on this subject people with higher levels of education and knowledge of science were found to be more likely to believe that there is a broad consensus among scientists on human evolution. The people who have more religious beliefs but less scientific knowledge tend to be more divided. It is important that educators insist on the importance of understanding this consensus, so that people can make informed decisions regarding health care, energy usage, and other policy matters. 3. Evolution and Culture A close relative to the mainstream evolutionary theory, the concept of cultural evolution studies the numerous ways that humans and other species learn from and with one another. Researchers in this field employ elaborate models and tools that are adapted from those employed by evolutionary theorists. they go back to human prehistory to find out the genesis of our capacity for culture. This method also acknowledges the distinction between biological and cultural traits. While biological traits are generally acquired in one go (in sexual species, during fertilization) but cultural traits can be acquired over a long period of time. The acquisition of one characteristic can influence the growth and development of a different. In Korea the introduction of Western style elements in the latter part of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was the result an elaborate sequence of events. One of the most significant was the arrival of Japanese occupation forces, who introduced Western clothing styles and hairstyles to Korean society. Then, when Japan departed Korea in the 1930s, some of these trends began to reverse. By the end World War II, Korea was once more united and again under Choson dynasty rule. Today, Korea is an economic and political power. Despite the financial crisis of recent the economy of Korea has been growing consistently over the last decade. It is anticipated to continue to grow in the near future. The current government is confronted with a variety of challenges. One of the most serious is the inability to come up with a coherent policy to deal with the economic crisis. The crisis has exposed weaknesses of the country's policies and its reliance on foreign investment and exports that may not last. The crisis has shaken confidence of investors. This means that the government must rethink its strategy and find ways to increase domestic demand. To ensure a stable financial climate the government will need to reform its incentive, monitoring and discipline systems. This chapter presents several scenarios on how the Korean economy might develop in a post-crisis world. 4. Evolution and Education A fundamental challenge for evolution educators is how to teach evolutionary concepts in ways that are appropriate for students at various age groups and developmental stages. Teachers need to, for instance be aware of the diversity of religions within their classrooms and create a welcoming environment where students from both secular and religious beliefs feel comfortable. Teachers must also be able recognize common misconceptions about evolution and be able to address them in the classroom. Finally, 에볼루션 사이트 must have access to a range of resources for teaching evolution and be able to find them quickly. In this regard the Thinking Evolutionarily Convocation was an important step in bringing together evolutionary scientists and educators from a range of fields to discuss best practices for teaching about evolution. Attendees included representatives of scientific societies and educational researchers, as well as government funding agency officials, and curriculum developers. The convergence of these diverse parties resulted in a consensus set of recommendations that will be the basis for future actions. One of the most important recommendations is that the subject of evolution should be integrated in all science curricula at any level. To achieve this goal, the National Science Education Standards (NRC) require that evolution be taught in an integrated way across the life sciences using a sequence of ideas that are developmentally appropriate. A new publication from NRC provides guidelines for schools on how to integrate evolution in the life science curriculum. Multiple studies have proven that a more complete presentation of evolution is linked to better understanding by students and belief in evolution. However, estimating the causal effect of evolution in the classroom is challenging given that school curricula are not assigned randomly and change over time because of the predetermined dates of gubernatorial election and appointments to the state board of education. To overcome this issue I use a longitudinal dataset that allows me to control for the fixed effects of state and years as well as individual-level variations in teacher beliefs about evolutionary theory. Teachers who are more comfortable teaching evolution also have less internal barriers. This is in line with the hypothesis that faculty who are more confident are less likely to be hesitant about teaching about evolution in the classroom, and could be more likely to employ strategies like a reconciliatory method that is known to boost the acceptance of undergraduate students of evolution.
