이 연구는 한국에 이미 입국한 국제결혼여성들을 분석한 기존의 연구와는 달리, 필리핀의 국제결혼여성들이 어떤 국적의 남편과 결혼하는가를 살피고 있다. 필리핀의 국가통계에 따르면, 한국으로 시집가는 필리핀 여성들이 증가하고 있지만, 미국 등을 비롯한 다른 국가에 비해 그 규모도 작고, 역사도 짧다. 필리핀 신부들의 관점에서 보면, 한국은 자신들이 시집갈 수 있는 여러 국가의 하나에 불과하다. 국제결혼을 하고 출국을 기다리는 필리핀 신부들에 대하여 사회 조사를 실시해 본 결과, 자료가 갖는 한계나 문제점에도 불구하고 남편의 국적에 따라 필리핀 신부와 남편의 특성은 매우 다른 것으로 나타났다. 한국, 일본을 포함한 동아시아 지역으로 시집가는 여성들은 북미, 유럽, 오세아니아 지역 등으로 시집가는 여성들에 비해 매우 젊으며, 교육수준이나 영어구사 수준이 낮다. 또한 동아시아 지역의 남편들은 저학력자가 많다. 부부가 만난 경로에서도 지역간 차이가 나타난다. 북미, 유럽, 오세아니아 지역 국적의 남편들과는 인터넷을 통해 만난 사례가 두드러지는 반면, 동아시아 지역 국적의 남편들과는 친지 및 제3자의 소개를 받은 사례와 학교나 직장에서 만난 사례가 많다. 필리핀 신부들의 국제결혼 과정과 배경을 단순화시키기에는 무리가 있으나, 동아시아 지역과 북미, 유럽, 오세아니아 지역으로의 국제결혼 이주 양상은 필리핀 결혼이주 여성들내에서도 계층화 현상이 이루어지고 있음을 가늠하게 한다.

An increase in the number of immigrants to Korea since the late 1980s' has signified the proliferation of globalization and global capitalism. In Korea, most married immigrants are women, as the culture emphasizes patrilineage and the stability of the institution of marriage, particularly in rural areas. Immigrant women have experienced dual ordeals. The Aogra Internet community in Korea has been one of the most representative sites that has shown the power of communities in cyberspace since 2002, leading the discussion of social issues and deliberative democracy both online and offline. This paper analyzed Koreans' writings (such as long comments) on immigrant women in the Agora community. The analysis revealed the following results: first, immigrant women were referred to using terms related to prostitution, with excessive expression of disgust, which is called a "narrative of identity." Second, anti-multiculturalists called Korean men victims of married immigrant women and expressed hatred toward immigrant women, which is called a "narrative of sacrifice." Third, anti-multiculturalists justified their emotions as just resentment based on ideas of justice, equality, and patriotism, concealing the emotion of disgust, which is called the "narrative of justice, equality." Fourth, antimulticulturalists played roles to spread the emotion of disgust, by repeatedly referring to international marriage fraud and immigrant workers' crimes, which is called "narrative of crime." Fifth, some positive writings on immigrant women were based on empathy(a concept defined in this context by Martha Nussbaum), but they can be analyzed as narratives encouraging cultural integration through the perspective of orientalism. Therefore, comments on immigrant women in the Agora represent a "catch-22" dilemma. To deal with conflicts arising from disgust and violations of human rights, civic education focusing on humanism is needed in this multicultural era.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of program's participation, self-esteem and depression on quality of life for the elderly participating social welfare using facilities. Therefore, this paper will help improve a life's quality of all the olds by fixing the problems we got in this society and suggesting the better program for the elderly participating social welfare using facilities. The results of the study were as follows. There was no specific difference in statistic that shows the quality of the old's life who have their economic life. In quality of life in neighbors, the male were more friendly to their neighbors and the lower level of education, the higher quality of life. Healthy old people had greater quality of life than unhealthy old people did. If the old were excellent in scholarship, if unmarried couple shared the same house, if both of husband and wife live together when they are married, and if their allowance are full in pocket, the quality of their life was enhanced. Self-esteem influenced the quality of life in economic, but depression influenced negatively. In quality of life in neighbors, feeling depression and joining in program of a work for prosperity in future didn't effect doing well with the neighbors. On the other hand, participating in the social community program effected positively. In quality of life in neighbors, feeling depression and program of rehabilitation effected on the quality of life negatively. Educating refinement program effected positively being a good match, but promoting health program effected negatively.
