  • The 'MZ generation' is accustomed to expressing their thoughts and opinions online. As a result, the role of social media in understanding the opinions and public sentiment of the MZ generation has become increasingly important. In particular, the role of social media in understanding the opinions of young people in political contexts such as policies and elections is becoming more significant. Traditionally, in such political situations, various institutions conduct opinion surveys to grasp the opinions of the people. However, existing opinion surveys have many errors and limitations in understanding the specific opinions of the entire population since they are conducted on arbitrary individuals through survey techniques. Online communities are representative social media that share the opinions of the public on specific issues such as politics, economics, and culture. Therefore, online communities are widely used as a means to supplement the limitations of traditional opinion polls. In particular, the MZ generation is familiar with online platforms, and their political support has significant influence on election results and policy decisions. With this regard, this study analyzed the relationship between the sentiment reflected in online community text data by age group on major candidates and public opinion survey support rates during the Korean presidential election for those in their 20s. The analysis showed that negative sentiments reflected in online communities by the MZ generation have a negative correlation with public opinion survey support rates. This study contributes to theory and practice by revealing a significant association between social media and public opinion polls.

  • Background: Attitudes toward breastfeeding in public are one potential barrier to optimal breastfeeding rates and durations. Method: Questions about breastfeeding experience and attitudes toward breastfeeding in public were asked in face-to-face interviews as part of the Korean Academic Multimode Open Survey (KAMOS), May-July, 2017. The response rate was 65.8% (2000 respondents nationwide). Results: A majority of Koreans disagreed (1 or 2 on a 4-point scale) with the statement "Women should not breastfeed their child in open, public places" (53.9%) and agreed (3 or 4 on the 4-part Likert scale) with the statements "I do not feel uncomfortable seeing women breastfeed their child in open, public places" (64.0%) and "Breastfeeding a baby, instead of letting the baby cry, in public places is better for other people" (71.8%). However, despite these generally positive attitudes, the majority also said that they would not breastfeed in public (57.4% of women) or, in the case of men, would not want a close female relative to do so (63.8% of men). Breastfeeding in public was positively correlated with the duration of breastfeeding. People were more positive about breastfeeding in public if they: were parents; did not use formula and breastfeeding a similar amount; had children who had been breastfed in public; were older; were Buddhists rather than Christians. An attempt was made to compare attitudes toward breastfeeding in public and breastfeeding durations internationally, but was inconclusive due to not perfectly comparable data. Conclusion: Our results may be useful in planning public health campaigns in South Korea or future attempts at international comparisons to better understand and address the effect of public opinion regarding breastfeeding in public on breastfeeding rates and durations.

예멘 난민 수용 반대 여론과 정치적 결정에 대한 단상: 아우구스티누스의 '사랑'의 원리 위에서 (A Preliminary Study for Public Opinion Against Yemeni Refugee and the Political Decision: Focusing on Augustine's Thought about Principle of Love)

  • 이 글은 제주도 에멘 난민 수용에 대한 여론의 추이와 그에 따른 정치적 상황에 주목하면서 시작되었다. 제주도 난민 수용 반대 여론은 난민법의 수정 또는 폐지까지 요구한다. 에멘 난민 수용을 거부하는 입장은 치안과 안전, 문화 마찰, 경제적 이익이라는 측면에서 어느 정도 설득력을 가지지만 전향적인 사회가 견지해야 할 보편적인 가치, 진리적인 가치에는 반한다. 정치적 결정권자가 여론은 살피는 일은 자연스럽고 또한 중요한 일이다. 그러나 아무리 많은 다수의 의견이라 할지라도 정의롭지 않은 여론은 정치적 결정의 토대가 되어서는 안 된다. 본 논문은 그러한 이유와 근거로 여론의 형성과정과 관련 개념들의 그림자를 살펴볼 것이고, 반대로 공동체적 결정이 참고할 수 있는 가치로서 아우구스티누스의 '사랑' 개념과 원리를 검토하고자 한다. 갈등은 불안전과 균열을 초래한다. 공통감이 없으면 균열은 봉합되지 않는다. 본 논문은 이러한 갈등상태가 해소되어야 함을 과제로 삼고 아우구스티누스에게서 혜안을 얻고자 한다.
