[예제 221] Mere involvement and simple acceptance do not necessarily lead to the development of authentic self-esteem because they can convey the mistaken impression that self-esteem is automatic, not earned.

Out-of-touch sonDear Annie: My brother, “John,” one of nine siblings, has not spoken to our 83-year-old mother in more than 12 years. He lives less than five miles from her, drives past her house daily and never stops in. At first, he sent birthday and Christmas cards, but even that stopped. Mom continues to send cards and reach out, but receives no response. Evidently, John is upset with Mom because she asked whether he would testify in court against his pedophile stepfather if it became necess

Backpack or bikini?The sizzling heat and torrid humidity of summer is also synonymous with the season of rest, relaxation and the thrill of being in the great outdoors. And whether it’s taking the sweltering heat like a bull by the horns, enjoying the most of nature cooling off in the water or putting one’s calf muscles to work tackling the nation’s countless trekking trails, many Koreans choose to spend their summers either on the seaside or mountainside. With more than half of the peninsula ma

Closer watch 2015.06.30유엔 북한 인권 사무소 문 열어<06월23일자 사설>The United Nations is set to open its field office in Seoul on Tuesday to deal with the human rights situation in North Korea. The move risks aggravating inter-Korean relations that have remained frozen in the past years， but marks a significant step forward in international efforts to improve dismal rights conditions in the communist state. 화요일 서울에서 북한 인권을 다루는 유엔의 현장 사무소가 문을 연다. 수년 간 냉각돼 있는 남북 관계를 악화시킬 우려도 있으나 북한의 참담한 인권을 개선하려는 국제적 노력의 중요한 일보다

Women more prone to depression in KoreaPark Sun-young, a 30-year-old nursing assistant at a medical clinic, is still bitter when she recalls the moment her mother asked her to give up on her college dreams. “She told me that there was no money in the house, and I should get a job instead (rather than going to college),” Park said.What hurt Park even more was her mother’s secret plan to borrow money from relatives to send her twin brother to study abroad. When Park confronted her mother about the

One month on메르스 사태 한달<06월18일자 사설>It is almost certain that we will have to live with the fear of the Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreak for longer than we -- or to be more exact， the government -- expected.　It has been one month since a man who had traveled to the Middle East was diagnosed as the first patient， but we still see the numbers -- of deaths， patients and those in isolation -- rising day by day. 우리， 좀 더 정확히 말하면 정부가 예상하던 것보다 더 오래 메르스에 대한 공포를 안고 살아야 한다는 것이 거의 확실하다. 중동에 갔던 한 남성이 첫

Shrieking teensDear Annie: How do I tell my neighbors that it‘s annoying and frustrating to listen to their teenaged daughters shrieking and screaming as they’re having fun outside? 　Often, I want to go out and play with my dog, but I can‘t because these girls are behaving like 5-year-olds, screaming their heads off. There are things I need to do outside, but the noise makes it impossible. And it’s horrible to have to listen to it inside as well. The mother says she doesn‘t like to interfere wit

본문A bowl of shaved ice topped with sweet red bean paste has long been a classic summer dessert for Koreans. The traditional combination of ice, red bean paste and condensed milk has been an inspiration for many other creative summer desserts, too.

No panic， no complacency공포도 안일함도 안 된다<06월10일자 사설>It may be too early to say so， but the latest developments should convince the nation that it will be able to contain Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreak that has been raging for three weeks.
