The power of the quiet majority, the value of discernment and inclusivity for a just society

Image
The Responsibility of Silence The world often seems to be driven by the logic of the loudest voices. From the loudspeakers in the streets, under the studio lights, to the currents of the internet, what captures people's attention is usually sharp language, striking slogans, and at times, provocative emotions. However, beneath the shadow of that intense noise, there are those who quietly support the community without words. They go unnoticed, yet they responsibly take on their duties every day, striving to not be indifferent to the suffering of others, and gradually pushing the world toward a better direction while respecting laws and norms. Their silence is not mere indifference it is a careful awareness of the weight of words, and a profound inner resolve to choose solidarity over division. The Need for Change However, times have changed. The quiet majority can no longer protect the community merely through silence. Especially now, when the word 'minority' is consume...

Investment strategies in the AI era: Smart investment methods based on data, not emotions

2025 Evolution of Financial Markets The financial market of 2025 is undergoing changes that are distinctly different from the past. Now, the financial market is evolving into a complex ecosystem that encompasses human emotions and psychology, rather than just being a stage for simple numbers and calculations. Emotions now play a significant role in the world of finance, and this, combined with artificial intelligence, greatly influences predictability and investment decisions. At the center of these market changes lies the effort to understand the human mind. The market is no longer perfect. In the past, there was the concept of an "efficient market," where the market reflected all information instantaneously. However, today's markets often do not connect directly to prices due to complex psychological factors. Investors now need to have a deeper understanding of how emotions like fear and greed influence buying and selling decisions. Ignoring these emotions and sol...

Your own space, your own center The life of modern people flows as quickly as light. Or perhaps, in the midst of the information and social network connection requests that pour in at a speed even faster than light, we are constantly in communication with the outside world, but we often miss the most important connection, which is the conversation with ourselves. In an era that is changing so rapidly, a 'space for pause' that allows for a slower pace becomes essential. It is not just a room for hobbies or a space decorated with sensory interiors, but a place that serves as an anchor for existence, allowing one to catch their breath and hold onto their heart. Conscious Calm We are living in an age where it is easy to lose the center of our emotions without 'conscious quiet.' While we can connect from anywhere, we live in a contradictory reality where we are disconnected from our inner selves. Many psychologists and experts who guide life direction speak with one vo...

Behind the Ultra-Slim Technology: The Advancement of 5.8mm Devices and Their Hidden Social Impact

Image
The Era We Live In We are living in an era where 'the smaller and lighter' symbolizes 'the bigger and deeper.' Technology is becoming increasingly thin and delicate, and devices are becoming so transparent that they seem to vanish at our fingertips. At the same time, our lives are being constantly reshaped by the magic of speed and efficiency. At the forefront of this change stands an ultra-slim smartphone that is only 5.8mm thick. It appears to be a single piece of refined metal, but inside it is an intricate condensation of modern science, the pinnacle of design, and the most refined forms of human desire. The meaning of extreme thinness This extreme thinness goes beyond a simple achievement of physical dimensions. Next-generation materials like graphene, nanoscale processing technologies, the compression of high-density batteries, and the precise tuning of OLEDs—all are the results of relentless exploration and progress. Ultimately, this thinness is not a re...

In an Era of Crisis of Trust, How Should Authority Change? Restoring Social Trust through the Humanities

Deconstruction of Authority: The Flow and Change of the Times The dismantling of authority in modern society is not a coincidence. It is a necessary result brought about by a long-term accumulation of changes in perception and the flow of the times. In traditional societies of the past, authority was underpinned by established hierarchies and absolute norms. Within families, a parent's word was law, and in schools, a teacher's word was not questioned. Across society, people often entrusted themselves to specific authorities for the sake of order and stability. However, as we enter the 21st century, authority is no longer seen as natural and self-evident. The maturation of democracy, the spread of individualism, and the development of digital technologies have created a structure of horizontal communication that calls into question the reasons for the existence of authority. The question 'Why should I follow that statement?' has shifted from being rebellious to beco...

Debate over the term 'beggar' raises questions about the boundaries of discriminatory language and dignity.

The Importance of Language We are now standing in the midst of an era where tradition and modernity, analog and digital, customs and innovation are constantly intersecting. The inertia of history, the habits of culture, and the rapid advancement of technology have transformed the way we live, and at the center of this change, 'language' is being illuminated anew. Language is not just a means of communication it is a mirror that reveals the values and unconscious attitudes of a society. Words can connect relationships, but they can also easily become walls. Sometimes, a single unintended word can act as violence that erases someone's existence, and careless expressions can leave deep wounds on social minorities. In such a reality, we can no longer ignore the ethical responsibility of language. The Seriousness of Hatred The more familiar a word is, the more powerful its impact. Because it is used so commonly, it becomes ingrained in our daily lives before we even recogn...

The evolution of urban living and convenience stores, how 24-hour spaces have transformed daily life.

Image
The Heart of the City, Convenience Store: In the Public Language at the Crossroads of Life We perceive convenience stores not just as places to purchase goods, but as spaces for solving something. Convenience stores have become important places that connect people's lives and rhythms in modern cities, evolving beyond the role of simple retail outlets into platforms that condense civilization and society. The origin and early role of convenience stores Convenience stores began in the mid to late 20th century in urban areas of the United States and Japan. Initially, they were small and efficient consumer spaces based on 'immediacy' and 'accessibility', providing necessary items at the moment they were needed. Over time, as urbanization progressed and people's lives became more complex, convenience stores began to evolve. Various Functions of Modern Convenience Stores Today, convenience stores are no longer just places to sell products. They offer various s...
