The purpose of present study is to discover the meaning of the Eogul(억울) which is known as a emotion from perceived unfairness. Even though Eogul has been mentioned as a cause of the Hwabyung in Korean culture there were few studies about it. Researchers designed two studies to provide clear understanding for this concept.

OECD MNE Guidelines ('OECD Guidelines') was set forth in 1976 as a form of annex to the OECD Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises. The objective of the OECD Guidelines is to fulfill the implementation and adoption of the Responsible Business Conduct ('RBC') among the adhering states. To further the effectiveness of the OECD Guidelines, OECD, specifically the Investment Committee of OECD, has utilized National Contact Point ('NCP') structure. According to the Procedural Guidance annexed to the OECD Guidelines, peer learning is prescribed as an important tool for promoting and facilitating the implementation procedures of the OECD Guidelines. This paper, inter alia, is mainly focusing on the peer review mechanism applicable to NCPs because negative assessments by peers are likely to harm Korea's state image and entail international criticisms even though such reviews are conducted voluntarily. In addition, the Working Party on Responsible Business Conduct ('WPRBC') decided to have a peer review of Korean NCP in 2019. This paper first outlines the meaning and current applications of the peer review mechanism, and then analyzes specific peer review cases conducted in Denmark and Belgium in 2015, and in 2016, respectively. Lastly, based on the issues handled in the peer review reports on the above states, this paper makes a few recommendations for Korean government to prepare the peer review scheduled in 2019.

This study investigates how experiences of domestic violence from fathers during childhood and adolescence have influenced the formation of one counselor's identity and the outcomes in their life. The research aims to explore how studying the life of this counselor can provide positive effects to other clients who have experienced domestic violence. The research methodology involves in-depth interviews and observations of the participants to understand the subjects, adopting a qualitative research approach based on counseling content. The research findings demonstrate that experiences of domestic violence during childhood and adolescence have had a significant impact on shaping an individual's identity and that through 'overcoming,' one can reconstruct a negative life of 'violence' into a positive life as a 'counselor.' Furthermore, these experiences have provided an opportunity for the individual to perceive themselves more objectively and to find meaning in personal growth and maturity throughout their life journey.

Although the Korea National Guard(KNG) has a short history, it has a great meaning in that it is the first of the Korean reserve forces system. Research on the KNG has been passively conducted so far. Even so, the research conducted was limited to a fragmentary description from a historical point of view and did not identify the characteristics of the KNG. Therefore, in this study, after examining the background of the times when the KNG existed, we tried to identify the characteristics of the KNG from a new perspective from legal, institutional, military, and political perspectives. In summary, the KNG was born as an efficient system in preparation for war while receiving legal support. In addition, the adoption of the volunteer army system, a recruiting system of advanced countries, the fact that officers were trained through a separate military academy unique to the KNG, and that they contributed to rear area operations are highly evaluated from a military standpoint. On the other hand, it is negative that politicians and non-military groups colluded from the process of establishing the KNG. Finally, with this study as an opportunity, it is hoped that research on the reserve force that existed before the Korean War will become more active.

Xiang-xiu(向秀) tried to find compromise between naturalness(自然) and Confucian ethical code(名敎), the individual consciousness and the group consciousness in the Wei-Jin(魏晋) dynasty. He made his views on the human nature through the revealing of desire and morality of human. Xinag-xiu considered that the human nature comes from the ultimate principle of the nature(自然之理), so it's possible to provide reasonable basis to the meaning of the 'desire' and 'morality'. Furthermore, the 'desire' is regarded as the driving force of human life through the reasonable cognition, at the same time he insisted that we should control our passions by sociality and the social norm. So in the view of Xiang-xiu, the human nature has two characteristics, such as the principal of the driving force of human life and the control of the base desires and the negative desires. It could be confirmed by his opinions about the following human's nature and sticking to our last in the his Zhuangzizhu( 莊子注).

As the number of stress-related diseases increases due to the prolonged Corona 19, Corona Blue is attracting attention. This social background causes negative emotions due to frustration at work, changes in existing life rhythms, and blockade of economic sources, and makes us understand our era as an era in need of healing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to propose a 3D-based adventure filming game that adventures a fantastic space and stores memories and experiences through photos. For this, important elements of healing were explored through literature study, and based on this, a game using 3ds Max and Unity was implemented. As a result of the study, the game was implemented with a filming function that contains visual elements for cute and warm healing, an emotionally approaching story, and the meaning of space. This study provides a game that can provide non-face-to-face healing to users and presents effective and important healing factors to service providers.
