Film is all about people. Characters in films represent the worldviews and perspectives on "people" of film directors. Lee Chang-Dong, Lim Sang-Soo, These are the directors who concentrate on "persona" in their films, but in turn, they see it at unique and distinctive angles. Director Lee Chang-Dong seeks for innocence as the core of humanity and hopes to recover it in his films. On the other hand, director Lim Sang-Soo keeps his sarcastic and nihilistic stances towards human nature, claiming that we are just mere beings who "happen to" be living and staying at our time in history. This paper examines the contrasting views on 'human nature' of the two directors, which are uniquely explored in the films , of Lee Chang-dong and , , of Lim Sang-soo respectively. What is the true human nature that each of these two directors wants to imbue his films with and how different are their perspectives?

Today, Kim Jong-un, the third-hereditary regime in North Korea, is committing Nuclear Provocation more aggressively than the past when Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il dominated. Past South Korea government had suggested plans to restrain the provocation from North Korea and bring stabilization in the Korean Peninsula. However, consequentially it was limited to the primary role of the President. When President Trump takes over the government in February 2017, it has attracted the expectation about the issues occurred on the Korean Peninsula due to the pledge that he promised during the presidential election and his govern style. However, various speeches about the Korean Peninsula that he spoke recently made situations depressed about what South Korean currently encounters. Furthermore, previous regime in North Korea has laid the foundation for Kim Jong-un to be obsessed more on the nuclear and missile which has led him to provoke more imprudently by highlighting the light weight, advanced, and various kinds of nuclear and missiles. Thus, we would like to propose counter measures in order for South Korean government to handle and solve the issues that they encounters by themselves based on North Korea's Nuclear Provocation instead of relying on other countries to get involved and help.

Local governments within the boundaries of a state need increasing flexibility to satisfy diverse economic, social, and environmental goals in their particular geographical setting. However, many candidates in the local election in South Korea tend to see local politics as an extension of national-level politics. In particular, this paper mainly deals with how the voters' evaluation of a president's performance has influenced subnational elections in South Korea. Our analysis suggests that the fate of candidates in subnational elections is shaped by the performance of the incumbent president in both economic development and foreign affairs.

In the shortest period of time, we achieved both industrialization and democratization. We also achieved good performance in health care sector. Whole population are covered by health insurance since 1989 and health outcomes, such as infant mortality, life expectance show good level. However, health care system has several problems, rapidly increasing rate of health care expenditure, dissatisfaction of both consumers and suppliers. Current health care system does not reconcile with market competition principle. Causes of these problems originated from 1977 paradigm which was formed to expand health insurance to whole population within short period. Dominant assumption of 1977 paradigm is to assure equitable access of health care by government's command and control. We urgently demand to reform the 1977 paradigm to suitable in 21th century. Our economy entered into a road to advancement. We have concerns how President Lee's administration reform health care system to harmonize with economic development and to achieve advancement in health care sector.

In our country, which has a strong presidential system, the power and responsibilities of the president are truly enormous. He is the head of state and diplomatic representative, and at the same time exercises authority over all areas of the country, including the legislature, judiciary, and constitutional institutions, along with his responsibilities as head of the executive branch. Considering these aspects, it can be said that presidential records created during the president's rule have a high level of national and historical significance and value compared to other public records. Considering these importance of presidential records, the Presidential Records Management Act was enacted in 2007 to establish an institutional mechanism to systematically manage presidential records. However, the current institutional basis for appraisal of presidential records is very weak. In this regard, there is a need to begin discussions on the appraisal of presidential records in earnest. Considering the national importance and symbolism of presidential records, it is necessary to establish a new direction for appraisal of presidential records that is different from general public records. Accordingly, in this paper, as part of reestablishing Korea's presidential records appraisal system, this article analyzed the status and problems of the current presidential records appraisal system and presented directions needed to find future improvement measures. To this end, as a premise for discussing the importance and value of presidential records, it examined the powers and responsibilities of the presidency as defined in our country's Constitution.Next, we looked at the appraisal system and method for presidential records that are currently in operation, and then analyzed the problems that emerged here in connection with the characteristics of presidential records. Based on this, it presented five perspectives on issues that need to be discussed publicly in the records management community in order to reestablish Korea's presidential records appraisal system in the future.

The year of 2013 is the first year that the new president takes the power and administrates the national affairs. In Korea, when the new president comes, the new administration brings big changes in the politics, economy, and society. The government management style has been changed according to the orientation and styles of the new president. Public records management is a critical and effective business tool to establish and carry out the government policies as well as an essential tool for democracy. Modern democracy is based on good governance. Creation and free use of full and accurate public records makes the good communication between the government and the public possible, and people's participation in the policy-making and surveillance of government activities for public good can work. During the present administration, communication between the president and the people was cutoff and people's participation in the national affairs have been further limited. Furthermore, in the present administration, the public records management was not regarded important, Whatever new administration comes, the year of 2013 is the time for the new administration to realize again the importance of the public records management and put it back to the normal track.

Facing a mature domestic market and the challenges of the global consumer market, retailers in Taiwan are in pursuit of international development strategies for increasing its market opportunities as one of its key growth strategies. In the global market, the Chinese market becomes Taiwan retailers' main international development milestone due to its similarity of language, culture and historical background with China. Therefore, this research uses case study method based on Eclectic paradigm (Dunning 1981) to explore the various advantages of a Taiwanese children's clothing retailer Les Enphants, which include ownership advantage, internalization advantage, and location advantage. These advantages in turn demonstrate rationales behind Les Enphants' internationalization necessity (Why to Go), selecting China as an expansion target (Where to Go), and management and operation strategies implemented in China (How to Go). Our study highlights a successful entry and expansion model of the Taiwanese children clothing retailer, and may have solid contribution to the practical application of internationalization strategy theory.
