Evolution Korea
South Korea's democratic system is vulnerable to populist inclinations. It is still healthier than expected.
The country is searching for an innovative development paradigm. A Confucian culture that values respect for the ancestors and gendered family relations continues influence society. However, there are signs that a secularist culture is emerging.
Origins
In prehistoric times the ancestors of the modern Koreans survived by hunting and gathering wild food. Around 10,000 years ago they began to cultivate millet and beans as well as other crops. They also raised livestock and even made furs. These people formed tribal states in succession in Manchuria and on the Korean peninsula. They also created an industry of metalworking, making bronze tools and later iron ones. They traded with other nations and introduced block printing to Japan and also art styles as well as a written language and paper making.
Gojoseon was established in 2333 BCE on the southern peninsula. The state adopted Buddhism and adopted Chinese culture including Confucian philosophy. During this time the inhabitants of Buyeo were part of Gojoseon. Gojoseon was a hierarchical society with a monarch and senior officials were drawn from the landed aristocracy, while the rest of the population were peasants. The state extracted taxes from the citizens and often required them to fight in the army or take part in projects for the government like building fortifications.
Onjo, a prince from Goguryeo who was also the son of Jumong the founder of Goguryeo established the state of Baekje towards the end of the period. This new kingdom expanded its territory into the southwest of the peninsula and clashed with Goguryeo and China's commandos in the region. Baekje included elements of Confucian beliefs into its official beliefs and made the male centered filiopiety concept an official doctrine in 1390 CE. Under the guise of filiopiety fathers were accountable to their families and they must be obeyed and respected by all people, even their children and grandchildren.
Goryeo, who would rule from 918 to 1392 CE introduced the world to the Hangul alphabet that was based on the shapes formed by the mouth during pronunciation. This greatly improved the communication between people and resulted in an explosion of the writing of Buddhist texts. Woodblock printing and movable type were also improved. In 1145 CE, the Samguk Sagi or "History of the Three Kingdoms" was first recorded.
Evolution in Korea
The Korean peninsula was inhabited from Neolithic times until. Early evidence of human settlements is evident in the form of cist graves paved with stone, and decorated with valuable items like amazonite jewelry that were buried with the dead. Megalithic structures, referred to as dolmens and built of single large stones, are prevalent throughout the country.
Gojoseon was the first state to be recognized in the first half of 1st millennium BCE. The peninsula was later controlled by a variety of states during the Three Kingdoms Period (57 BC-635 CE) including Baekje and Goguryeo. Moreover, the northern region of the peninsula was occupied by the Balhae kingdom, which most historians do not believe to be a legitimate Korean state.
After the Three Kingdoms arose the Proto-Three Kingdoms Period, or Several States Period. Baekje is the most powerful of these states was weakened by the Goguryeo's fall (676 CE) leaving only its southern regions in Manchuria and the the western region around Hwanghae Bay. Eastern Buyeo and the Gaya confederacy, prospered for a time.
The Unified Silla Kingdom then emerged and the three kingdoms began to work together to expand their territories. In the final phase, Silla, with significant Chinese aid, conquered all other states and united the peninsula in 935 CE.
As Korea enters a post-crisis era, its development paradigm seems to be in flux. People who are shocked by the enormous costs of the old systems support a comprehensive program of liberalization of labor, capital and markets for products. On the other hand, supporters of the old system attempt to protect it by promoting nationalist sentiments and by inflating fears about potential job losses.
The academic and policy analysts remain starkly divided as to the extent to the extent that these two developments are driving Koreas development towards an economic model that is radically different from the one of governance. This article analyzes the five phases of Korea's development in terms of its political development that include democratically illiberal democracies (1945-60), democratic autoritarianism (1961-72) authoritarian exceptionalism (1972-1877), democratic paternalism (2001-2002) and participatory democracy (2002). This article also identifies significant factors that may be shaping these processes.

In South Korea, 26% of the population is Christian. Creationists have made progress in promoting their beliefs to this segment. A 2009 survey showed that nearly a third of respondents were against evolution. Of those who voted, 41% stated that there was insufficient scientific evidence to support the theory 39% believed it was contrary to their religious beliefs, and 17% said they did not comprehend it. This level of disbelief is comparable to that of the United States, where a majority of people do not believe that humans evolved from less advanced forms of life.
In the past, the anti-evolutionist campaign in Korea was primarily focused on the education of students and in bringing Christ to them. An increase in interest in creation science began in the year 1980, when there was the inauguration of a four-day seminar during the World Evangelization Crusade in Seoul which included Drs. Henry Morris and Duane Giss of ICR were the keynote speakers. This event attracted a large number of pastors, professors, church leaders and scientists.
The success of this event resulted in the creation of the Korea Association of Creation Research (KACR) on January 31st 1981. The inaugural meeting was widely reported in national newspapers, such as The Korea Times and Chosun Ilbo and was well-received by the public.
KACR began publishing a newsletter called CREATION. In it, the group published its own activities and published articles on scientific evidence for the existence of God. It also translated a number of slides and film strips from ICR and a few books on creationism that were already in print outside of Korea. 무료에볼루션 delivered lectures at universities and churches throughout the country.
A KACR success was observed at KAIST University in Seoul. There, there were enough students interested in creationism that they raised enough money and support to construct an on-campus museum with creationist fossil models and other exhibits.
In addition to its activities, KACR has published a bimonthly publication called CREATION. This magazine covers topics in the creation science. It also sponsored a series lectures by ICR staff. It also has a network of local branches, which hold seminars and provide talks to children in schools and community groups.
Evolution in South Korea
In the late 19th century and beginning of 20th, Korea moved toward a Westernised lifestyle. The traditional hanbok, or Korean dress, gave way to miniskirts, as well as other fashion elements imported from abroad. The traditional Korean music was also replaced by jazz and rock & roll. At this time, the famous samulnori, or masked dance dramas, were popular with the general public. These dramatic pieces were performed to the beat of shaman drummers as well as other musical instruments.
The economic crisis has shaped Korea's new model of development. The new regime's main challenge lies in the proper balance between the state-led economic policies and market-based ones. It also requires changing incentives, monitoring, or disciplining systems that have created the system prior to the crisis. These issues are examined in Chapters 3 and 4.
Established by Onjo, prince of Goguryeo and the third son of Jumong, Baekje was established jointly by people living along the Hangang River, those from Buyeo and other areas and immigrants from northern China. In the early 4th century, Baekje was a major regional power, and expanded its territory to Mahan in the north and Jeollanam-do in the south. It was therefore in constant conflict with Goguryeo and the Chinese commanders on the border.
The decline of Silla in the late 8th and 9th centuries saw powerful local factions to emerge. Gungye was a nobleman from Later Baekje who established a kingdom in Songak with Songak as its capital. He was the ruler of a large portion of the present-day Jeolla province as well as Chungcheong. Later, he relocated the capital to Wansanju. He was a rival to Goguryeo.
His rule was however only for a short time. After his defeat, Gungye was replaced by a powerful local leader Wang Geon, who united Goryeo with Baekje and Silla in 935. Later, Baekje was peacefully incorporated into Goryeo as a successor state. Wang Geon also introduced fundamental reforms and strengthened the central government system. This marked the closing of the Three Kingdoms period. The Korean peninsula was then ruled by the Goryeo Dynasty. In the Three Kingdoms period, Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla gradually grew to become powerful states in Manchuria and on the peninsula.
