Evolution Korea The economic crisis that swept Asia forced a major reappraisal of the old system of business-government alliances and the management by the public of private risks. In Korea this required a change in the development model. In a controversial move, the South Korean government has asked textbook publishers to ignore requests for the removal of examples of evolution from high school science texts. This includes evidence for evolution of horses and of the bird 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 offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research that aims to cleanse biology textbooks of “atheist materialism,” was behind the decision. The STR claims that such materialism creates an image of negativity for students, causing them to lose faith. Scientists across the globe expressed worry when the STR campaign gained attention. Jae Choe, evolutionary biologist at Ewha Womans University, Seoul, complained in an email to Nature's editor that South Korea had succumbed to religious prejudice. He was supported by colleagues from across the country who formed an organization called Evolution Korea to organize an anti-textbook petition. Some scientists are worried that the STR will expand to other parts of the world, where creationism is increasing. The letter to Nature warned of the anti-evolution campaign increasing pressure on textbook revisions, particularly in countries with large Christian and Muslim populations. South Korea's cultural background is particularly strong in the debate over evolution. Twenty-six percent of the country's citizens belong to a religious denomination and the majority adhere to Christianity or Buddhism. Many Koreans also adhere to Ch'ondogyo – an ideology based on Confucian principles that emphasizes harmony in the social, personal self-cultivation and self-respect. Ch'ondogyo believes that humans are one with Hanulnim the God of the Sun, and that the heavenly blessings can be derived through the good deeds of a person. 에볼루션 블랙잭 of this has provided fertile ground for the spread of creationism. Numerous studies have revealed that students who have religion-based backgrounds tend to feel more uncomfortable about learning about evolution than students without religion. The reasons behind this aren't evident. One reason is that students who have religious beliefs tend to be as well-versed in scientific theories and concepts, which makes them more vulnerable to the influence of creationists. Another reason could be that students with a religious background may view evolution as a belief system that is not a religion, which makes them less comfortable. 2. Evolution and Science In recent years, anti-evolution campaigns in schools have raised concerns in the scientific community. A study conducted in 2009 found that nearly 40 percent of Americans believe that biological evolution is a lie, and that a belief in it would be contrary to their convictions about religion. Despite the success of creationism in some states, a lot of scientists feel that the best way to stop this trend is not to be actively involved in with it, but rather inform people about the evidence supporting evolution. Scientists have a responsibility to teach their students about science including the theory of evolution. They must also inform the public about the process of science, and how scientific knowledge is collected and validated. They should also explain that scientific theories are frequently challenged and revised. However, misperceptions regarding the nature of scientific research often cause people to believe that evolution is not real. For example, some people are able to confuse the term “theory” with the normal meaning of the word – a guess or guess. In the field of science, however, a hypothesis is rigorously tested, and empirical data is used to verify it. A theory that survives repeated testing and observation becomes a scientific concept. The debate about evolution theory is an excellent occasion to discuss both the importance of scientific methodology and its limits. It is essential for people to understand that science is not able to answer questions about the meaning or meaning of life, but only provides a mechanism that allows living things to develop and adapt. Furthermore, a comprehensive education should cover all major fields of science that include evolutionary biology. This is crucial because a lot of jobs and choices require people understand the way science works. The vast majority scientists in the world believe that humans have evolved through time. In a study that predicted the opinions of adults about the consensus on this subject, those with higher levels education and knowledge of science were found to be more likely to believe that there is wide agreement among scientists about human evolution. The people with more religious beliefs and have less science-based knowledge tend to be more skeptical. It is critical that educators insist on the importance of knowing the consensus on this issue, so that people are able to making informed decisions about their health care, energy use and other policy issues. 3. Evolution and Culture A close cousin to mainstream evolutionary theory, cultural evolution focuses on the various ways that humans and other species learn from and interact with one another. Researchers in this field utilize explanatory models and investigative tools adapted from those used by evolutionary theorists. they go back to human prehistory to find out the genesis of our capacity for cultural understanding. This approach also acknowledges that there are differences between biological and cultural characteristics. Cultural traits can be acquired slowly, whereas biological traits are mostly inherited at the same time (in sexual species, at fertilization). The acquisition of a cultural characteristic can affect the development and growth of a different. In Korea the emergence of Western styles in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was the result a complex sequence of events. 에볼루션코리아 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, a few of those trends began to revert. At the end of World War II, Korea was once again united but this time under the Choson dynasty rule. Today, Korea is an economic and political power. Despite the financial crisis of recent, Korea's economy has been growing consistently over the last decade. It is expected to keep this trend going in the near future. The current government faces numerous challenges. One of the biggest is the inability to come up with a coherent policy to address the economic crisis. The crisis has exposed the weaknesses in the country's policies, especially its over-reliance on foreign investment and exports which could not last. The crisis has shaken the confidence of investors. This means that the government has to rethink its strategy and find ways to increase domestic demand. It also needs to overhaul the incentive, monitoring, and disciplining systems in place to guarantee a stable financial environment. This chapter provides a number of scenarios for how the Korean economy might grow in a post-crisis environment. 4. Evolution and Education One of the biggest challenges for educators of evolution is how to teach evolutionary concepts in a way that is suitable for students of different age groups and developmental stages. Teachers should, for instance, be sensitive to the diversity of religions in their classrooms and create an environment where students with both religious and secular beliefs are at ease. Moreover, teachers need to understand common misconceptions about evolution, and how to address them in their classrooms. Teachers must also have quick access to the many resources that can be used to teach evolution. In this context the Thinking Evolutionarily Convocation was an important step towards bringing evolutionary scientists and educators from a range of sectors to discuss the best methods for teaching about evolution. Participants included representatives from scientific societies, educational researchers, government funding agency officials and curriculum designers. The convergence of diverse participants helped to identify the common recommendations which will serve as the basis for any future actions. A key recommendation is that the study of evolution should be integrated in every science curriculum at every level. National Science Education Standards (NRC) that call for the integration of evolution across all life sciences with an educational progression that is developmental appropriate, are a way to achieve this goal. A new publication from the NRC offers guidance to schools on how to integrate evolution into their life science curriculum. Multiple studies have shown that a more complete 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 as a result of the predetermined timing of gubernatorial elections and appointments to the state board of education. To overcome this problem I employ a longitudinal data set which lets me control for year and state fixed effects and individual-level variation in teacher beliefs about evolution. Teachers who are more comfortable in teaching evolution report fewer internal barriers. This is consistent with the hypothesis that a more experienced faculty is less likely to avoid tackling evolution topics in the classroom and might be more likely employ strategies, such as the reconciliatory approach that has been proven to increase undergraduate student acceptance of evolution (Harms and Reiss, 2019; Tolman et al. 2020).
