Unless you live in a country with a strict caste system, class is an unfamiliar concept.\u003cbr\u003e In theory, classes cannot exist in Korean society.\u003cbr\u003e In the world we live in, there is no bone rank system and no differences in social status based on scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants.\u003cbr\u003e This is not the era of secret deals to buy the genealogy of noblemen.\u003cbr\u003e As can be seen from the fact that the value of equality, which states that “all human beings are born with dignity,” is included in the preamble to the Constitution, we live in a world where anyone can achieve success if they work hard.\u003cbr\u003e The biographies I read in elementary school are full of stories of people who were poor when they were young but gained money and fame through hard work.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut can the world be explained by theory alone?\u003cbr\u003e Stories of inequality are heard everywhere.\u003cbr\u003e Many social critics express concern that class still exists today.\u003cbr\u003e This is because there are many cases where it is difficult for a poor person to overcome poverty.\u003cbr\u003e They are more likely to live in poverty because they do not receive enough support from their parents, which prevents them from focusing on their studies and, as a result, from being unable to secure stable jobs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Income Inequality - Has 'Class' Really Disappeared?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Politics may not change everything, but we cannot deny that it has the power to change many things.\u003cbr\u003e There are many people who say they are too busy trying to make a living to be interested in politics.\u003cbr\u003e But my minimum wage is determined by politics. \u003cbr\u003ePolitics also determines whether people receive \"holiday pay\" for resting on weekends, or whether they receive \"overtime pay\" for working on public holidays or at night.\u003cbr\u003e Politics also enabled blind hiring, which prohibits attaching photos or listing one's hometown on resumes.\u003cbr\u003e After someone protested, demonstrated, and collected signatures from strangers to raise the issue, a 'rule' was created.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, politics is a window that expands the scope of individual rights and a shield that prevents violations of rights.\u003cbr\u003e Of course, there are also bad policies that lead to the opposite result.\u003cbr\u003e The important thing is that politics has a huge impact on my life.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Politics -

Why is there such hatred toward refugees? Why are rights that are so fundamental to the disabled considered privileges? The author endlessly questions a world rife with discrimination, hatred, and inequality.\u003cbr\u003e If animals, refugees, and the disabled feel distant, what about labor issues? Countless people are \"workers,\" yet they rarely give serious thought to labor issues.\u003cbr\u003e This is because the term ‘worker’ is limited to manual laborers. \u003cbr\u003eIt is sometimes said that those who did not work hard during their school days are destined to do physical labor.\u003cbr\u003e Can human dignity be preserved in a world that despises such ordinary labor? Furthermore, a society where many people feel insecure about their lives unless they're high-income professionals, popular YouTubers, or entrepreneurs can never be healthy.\u003cbr\u003e The author raises his voice, saying that proper social policy cannot be created in such a world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The third story (The Only Way to Eliminate Inequality: Doubting to the End) asks us to question the big frameworks surrounding society, such as real estate, income inequality, religion, media, and politics, and to ask questions about the world.\u003cbr\u003e It is a world where you have to be at least a full-time employee at a large corporation to make a living (income inequality), and where everyone dreams of owning a nice house in the metropolitan area (real estate).\u003cbr\u003e But no matter how much I try, things don't go my way, so I just pray to God (religion). \u003cbr\u003eWhen we become accustomed to news full of bias and false information, it becomes difficult to find the real reason why the world has become so difficult to live in (media).\u003cbr\u003e Eventually, you will fall into a sense of helplessness and will not even be bothered to vote (politics).\u003cbr\u003e The author cautions against all of these attitudes, emphasizing that inequality can only be resolved by thoroughly questioning and examining the stereotypes we have taken for granted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When individuals who actively participate in politics and attempt to break down entrenched preconceptions come together, society changes.\u003cbr\u003e But in order for an individual to open his or her eyes, he or she must first question everything that surrounds him or her.\u003cbr\u003e If you follow the author's sharp perspective on the world, you will soon learn how to 'properly doubt.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIn a world where people tell you it's okay\u003cbr\u003e The courage to say 'no'\u003cbr\u003e Gives wisdom to look at social structure!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe social problems the author points out are issues we face in our daily lives.\u003cbr\u003e However, we have just turned a blind eye to it, saying that the world is like that or that it is not our business.\u003cbr\u003e \"Is everything okay here and now?\" serves as an alarm bell for just such an attitude.\u003cbr\u003e The author says that the attitude of only caring for oneself without concern for society and others will ultimately make our society sick.\u003cbr\u003e Even those who discriminate can be discriminated against in some groups.\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, it is difficult to believe that a society with inequality as the default will function properly for a long time.\u003cbr\u003e Through this book, the author expresses concern about a society in which no one is okay, and appeals for the need to work together to solve the problem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The answer to solving discrimination and inequality is ultimately 'a perspective on social structure.' \u003cbr\u003eThose who turn a blind eye to the social structure often offer shallow prescriptions and consolation to individuals suffering from discrimination and inequality.\u003cbr\u003e However, this cannot be a panacea to solve the problem.\u003cbr\u003e If there is a social system that guarantees human dignity, we can be happy without tremendous effort.\u003cbr\u003e Let's look at the familiar problems around us with unfamiliar eyes and cultivate the strength to shout \"That's not true\" to a society that comforts us with \"It's okay.\"\u003cbr\u003e A ‘slightly more peaceful society’ will be created as a result of the changes brought about by such individuals. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e -
