To improve literacy in reading our times

Even when I carefully read the news or read newspapers covering current events, there are times when I suddenly wonder what is happening in our society.
Even though we see events unfolding before our eyes, we still don't fully understand why these things are happening in our society.
Such things usually have an untold past.
The first origins and related people, the times they lived in and the customs of that time, which are now invisible.
Only by reading them together can we truly understand our society.
Just as literacy is needed to read and understand texts, literacy is also needed to read and understand the times.
"One Day's Liberal Arts Study" is a book that will help you develop literacy skills and sharpen your eyes to read the times.

Of all the significant events that have occurred around the world over the past century, which people and events most closely relate to our daily lives today? Editor-in-Chief Jeon Seong-won, who has compiled and studied all manner of trivia while producing magazines for over 25 years, selects these events and explains why they remain so relevant to our lives today.
We share one story a day about culture, people, history, and knowledge worth knowing and remembering, spanning countries and continents, as well as philosophy, religion, art, and academia.

Studying connecting points, lines, and planes

If you think of history as a simple subject to memorize, with each event occurring at a certain point in the past, then you are understanding history as mere 'points'.
Furthermore, if you can examine the causal relationship within it, then you know ‘good.’
If we go one step further and understand the present meaning of history, then we can say that we have finally come to know 'myeon'.
This book connects the history that existed in our minds as dots, lines, and planes into a living, meaningful story.

We live our lives dealing with the information we have to encounter and deal with every day, rather than acquiring useful knowledge.
Of all the information we acquire, how much can we bring to our daily lives and use as a foundation for our own culture? Despite the abundance of things to think about, read, and see, literacy and reading deficiencies are becoming social problems. Those striving to preserve their culture and knowledge constantly seek out and acquire good knowledge and trustworthy curators.
This is because it is still difficult to obtain proper knowledge that can be chewed on, digested, and thought about, rather than fragmented knowledge that is out of sight and out of mind.

For those people, this book will be a good guide.
This is because it is a study journal of a person who has studied his entire life to impart worth-reading and ingrained knowledge to those who read and think consistently, and it is also the most efficient study method he has mastered.
In a world that changes too quickly and in a complex and challenging content market, I recommend this book to those who long for a "life of reading" and, even more importantly, a "life of thinking."
