Evolution Korea The financial crisis that hit Asia led to a major rethinking of the traditional system of government, business alliances, as well the public management of risk. In Korea this meant a change in the model of development. In a controversial move, South Korea's government has requested textbook publishers not to comply with calls to eliminate examples of evolution in science books for high school students. This includes the evidence for the evolution of horses and the avian ancestor Archaeopteryx. 1. Evolution and Religion A group of creationists in South Korea has successfully convinced textbook publishers to omit evidence of evolution from high school science texts. The move was a result of a campaign run by the Society for Textbook Revise (STR) an independent affiliate of the Korea Association for Creation Research which aims to get rid of textbooks on biology of “atheist materialism.” The STR claims that this kind of materialistic views create a negative image for students, and could lead to their eventual loss of faith. When the STR's campaign hit the news, scientists from all over the world expressed worry. In a letter addressed to the editor of Nature evolutionary biologist Jae Choe from Ewha Womans University in Seoul complained that South Korea had given in to religious prejudice. He was backed by colleagues around the country, who formed an organization called Evolution Korea to organize a petition against the changes to the textbooks. Some researchers are concerned that the STR will spread to other parts around the world, where creationism is increasing. The letter to Nature warned of the anti-evolution campaign increasing pressure on textbook revisions, especially in countries with large Christian and Muslim population. South Korea has a particularly significant cultural context for the debate about evolution. 26 percent of South Koreans are members of a religion and the majority of them practice Christianity or Buddhism. In addition, many Koreans adhere to Ch'ondogyo, a philosophy founded on Confucian principles that emphasizes social harmony and personal self-cultivation. Ch'ondogyo teaches that human beings are in a relationship with Hanulnim, the God of the Sun, and that the heavenly blessings can be obtained by doing good deeds. All of this has provided fertile ground for the spread of creationism. Numerous studies have revealed that students who have a religious background to be more hesitant to learn about evolution than those who don't. However, the underlying reasons for this phenomenon are unclear. Students who have a religious background may not be as experienced with the theories of science, making them more vulnerable to creationists' influence. Another factor could be that those with religious backgrounds may see evolution as a belief system that is agnostic, making them feel uncomfortable. 2. Evolution and Science In recent times scientists have been concerned about anti-evolution efforts in schools. A survey in 2009 revealed that 40 percent of Americans believed that biological evolution was a myth and that it could conflict with their religious beliefs. Many scientists believe that despite the fact that creationism has been successful the best method to combat this movement is to educate the public on the evidence supporting evolution. Scientists are accountable to instruct their students in science that includes the theory of evolution. They also need to inform the public about the research process and the way in which knowledge is validated. They should explain how scientific theories are often challenged and modified. However, misunderstandings regarding the nature of research conducted by scientists often create anti-evolution beliefs. For example, some people confuse the term “theory” with the normal meaning of the word, which is a hunch or guess. In the realm of science theories are thoroughly tested and verified using evidence. A theory that has survived repeated testing and observation becomes an established scientific principle. The debate over the evolutionary theory provides a great occasion to discuss the importance of the scientific method and its limitations. It is crucial to understand that science does not answer questions about the purpose of life or meaning, but provides a mechanism for living things to develop and change. A well-rounded education should also include exposure to all major scientific fields including evolutionary biology. This is important because many jobs and decisions require that individuals understand how science works. The vast majority scientists in the world believe that humans have evolved through time. A recent study that predicted adults' views of the consensus around this issue found that those who had higher levels of education and science knowledge were more likely to believe that there is a general consensus among scientists on the subject of human evolution. Those with more religious faith but less scientific knowledge tend to disagree more. It is essential that teachers emphasize the importance of understanding this consensus, to enable people to make informed choices about the use of energy, health care, and other policy matters. 3. Evolution and Culture Cultural evolution is a cousin of the mainstream evolutionary theory. It focuses on the ways that humans and other species learn from each other. Researchers in this field utilize explanatory models and investigative tools that are adapted from those employed by evolutionary theorists. they reach back into human prehistory to discover the genesis of our capacity for culture. This approach also acknowledges the distinction between biological and cultural traits. Cultural traits can be acquired slowly, whereas biological traits are typically acquired at the same time (in sexual species at fertilization). As a result, the acquisition of one trait can influence the development of another. In Korea, the adoption of Western elements of style in the latter part of the nineteenth and early twentieth century was the result of an intricate sequence of events. One of the most important was the appearance in Korea of Japanese occupation forces, who introduced Western hairstyles and clothing. When Japan departed Korea in the 1930s, a few of these trends began to revert. At the end of World War II, Korea was once more united and again under the Choson dynasty rule. Today, Korea is a vibrant economic and political power. Despite the recent financial crisis, Korea's economy has been growing consistently over the last decade. It is anticipated to continue to grow in the future. The current government is facing a variety of challenges. One of the most serious is its inability to develop a coherent policy to deal with the economic crisis. 무료에볼루션 has revealed weaknesses of the country's policies, especially its over-reliance on foreign investment and exports that may not last. The financial crisis has shaken the confidence of investors. This means that the government must reconsider its strategy and come up with ways to increase domestic demand. It will also have to revamp the incentive monitoring, monitoring, and discipline systems currently in place to create the stability of the financial system. This chapter provides a variety of scenarios of how the Korean economy could grow in the post-crisis period. 4. Evolution and Education A fundamental challenge for educators of evolution is how to present evolutionary concepts in a way that is suitable for students of different age groups and developmental stages. For instance, teachers need to be sensitive to the religious diversity of their classrooms and create an environment where students with both religious and secular beliefs feel comfortable in learning about evolution. Additionally, teachers must understand common misconceptions about evolution and how to address them in their classrooms. Teachers must also have quick access to the many resources available to teach evolution. In this regard, the Thinking Evolutionarily Convocation had a key role in bringing together evolutionary researchers and educators from various sectors to discuss the best practices for teaching about Evolution. Participants included representatives from scientific societies and educational research organizations, as well as officials from government funding agencies and curriculum designers. The convergence of different stakeholders led to the development of the common recommendations that will serve as the basis for future actions. One important recommendation is that the subject of evolution should be incorporated in all science curricula at any level. To achieve this goal it is recommended that the National Science Education Standards (NRC) call for evolution to be taught in an integrated manner across all sciences with a progression of concepts that are developmental appropriate. Furthermore, a new publication from the NRC provides guidance for schools on how to integrate evolution into the science curriculum. Multiple studies have shown that a more thorough explanation of evolution can lead to a greater understanding of students and belief in the existence of evolution. However, estimating causal effects in the classroom is difficult given that school curricula are not assigned randomly and change over time because of the predetermined timing of gubernatorial elections and state board of education appointments. To overcome this limitation I utilize a longitudinal data set that lets me control for state and year fixed effects as well as individual-level variations in the beliefs of teachers about the evolution of their curriculum. Teachers who are more comfortable in teaching evolution have fewer internal barriers. This is in line with the idea that more confident faculty are less likely to avoid questions about evolution in the classroom. They may also be more inclined to use strategies such as a reconciliatory approach which is used to increase the acceptance of undergraduate students of evolution.
