His central message is that no matter who we are or where we come from, we should always endeavor to seek peace in the world. Almesberger. Where multiple persons are designated as authors it is presumed that these persons have acted as joint authors (Dreier/Schulze, UrhG, 2nd edition, Munich 2006, § 10, Rz. After perusing over all of these precious archeological remnants, visitors enter the dark and musty maze of tunnels, which are very well preserved. In essence, in the opinion of this writer, Yi has a practical message, which is to pay it forward in the long-term. The phrase "pay it forward" captures the spirit of the potential impact Korea Foundation fellows have/can have in and on society. Yet, in all seriousness, being fortunate (and well-prepared) to receive a research fellowship can be an awesome responsibility. In the film Dead Poets Society, the Robin Williams character, an English professor, says: "No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world." Given the power of this so-called ripple effect (and the general power of speech), we always need to remember to aspire and be inspired to make a difference in the world.


1994), Captain Jean-Luc Picard says: "Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived. After all Number One, we're only mortal." In addition, Jack Nicholson's character in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980) reminds us that: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Hence, pay it forward while you can by having fun too! This is an important aspect of living that helps us relieve stress and temporarily forget all of our worries. Speaking of Korea Foundation fellows having fun, one of the memorable highlights of 2005 was the Autumn Fellows three-day cultural field trip (November 3-5) to Jeju-do (Jeju Island). Each day of the field trip to Jeju-do was jam-packed with diverse activities, ranging from watching a breathtaking acrobatic show with daredevil motorcycle racers in a wire cage, eating fresh-gilled fish while overlooking the scenic beach and touring one of the longest lava caves in the world, to riding excited horses and learning at the Jeju Peace Museum about the history of the military tunnels built during the colonial period.


May the force be with you. I suppose you made a few tremendous focuses in features too. Excellent task.. Its such as you read my thoughts! Looking ahead to read such informed articles. On display in the museum's largest room is a fascinating collection of almost a 1,000 artifacts from the colonial period, including Japanese military uniforms, various building tools, and weapons, as well as an array of documents (official Gazette of the war and industrial articles) published by the ministries of the Government General of Chosen. Actually, all of the activities (too numerous to mention) were special, including hiking on Udo (Cow Island), and visiting the Folklore and Natural History Museum and Hallim Park - a 27,000-square-meter botanical garden. The museum is located at a highly strategic site where the Japanese forces were stationed during World War II. The photos serve as a vivid reminder for all of humanity to seek reconciliation and prevent war on the Korean peninsula and everywhere else in the world. Take someone out for Korean food and/or display a few scenic photos of Korea in your office or study carrel.


Invite a few people over for a Korean film night. Finally, after resurfacing, Yi Young-geun gives a moving speech about how important the site is for Koreans, Japanese, and all others around the world. The film is not all that great in terms of making a contribution to the art of cinema, which is what I research and teach. Next, a large DVD-equipped theater (with a 240cm screen) offers an introductory video, which showcases the beauty of the island and explains its dark past. To begin with, visitors enter the hall of peace, which uses enlarged, grainy black-and-white documentary photographs to bring us back to the past. That is, he hopes that he will inspire visitors to carry his message of peace as far as possible - in perspectives of both distance and time. We have all dedicated ourselves in some way to understanding Korean culture and society and their surrounding paradoxes, developments and complexities - all of the particular things that make Korea and its long history unique. However, the visit to the Jeju Peace Museum stands out above all, because it enlightened us and reminded us to pay it forward - that is, to face responsibility for the future.
