What kind of being is a fetus in a mother's womb? Because a fetus in the womb has not yet been born and registered, it is not a citizen of the Republic of Korea.
Does that mean that a fetus has no rights? … In principle, a fetus before birth cannot yet enjoy the rights that a full-fledged individual can enjoy, except for the right to life.
Because they cannot exercise their rights on their own.
However, in order to protect the growth of the fetus and its rights after birth, our civil law recognizes certain rights as exceptions for the fetus.
An unborn fetus has the right to inherit, to receive legacies, to receive pensions and various other compensations.

An 18 year old user created his/her own ID.
And he made the payment using his own bank account.
…If that amount is in the tens of thousands of won range, it is easily enough for a high school student to afford as allowance.
In that case, it is considered a normal contract because it is within the scope of the capacity of a person with limited capacity to act, and it is stated that it cannot be cancelled.
But if the amount is several million won, it would be difficult to see it as being purchased with regular allowance.
In that case, cancellation is possible.
However, in order to purchase something with such a large amount of money, parental consent is required, and if you pretend to give consent (through cell phone authentication, etc.), it is stated that cancellation is not possible.

Today's young people face structural problems that are difficult to overcome through individual effort alone, making it more difficult than ever to enter society.
Because of this, today's youth are sometimes referred to as the 'N-po Generation', youth who have given up on their dreams.
The 'N-po Generation' has evolved from the 3-po generation, which means giving up on dating, marriage, and childbirth, to the 5-po generation, which includes giving up on 'interpersonal relationships' and 'owning a home', and these 5-po generations have continued to the 7-po generation, which includes giving up on 'dreams' and 'hope', and the 9-po generation, which includes giving up on 'health' and 'appearance'.
Youth issues are serious because they are not limited to individual youth problems that arise during a specific life cycle, but rather lead to a loss of self-esteem for the entire youth generation, which in turn leads to a weakening of social sustainability and thus expands into problems for our society.

Why is women's career breaks a problem? First, because they waste labor.
The National Assembly Budget Office (2014) announced that the social cost loss due to women's career interruptions amounted to 195 trillion won between 2000 and 2013.
In a country with a low birth rate and an aging population, women's low participation in economic activities can be a factor hindering the development of the national economy.
…The results of the ‘Work-Family Balance Survey’ published by the Ministry of Employment and Labor in 2017 are surprising.
According to a survey of human resources managers at 5,000 businesses with five or more employees, 86.6% of businesses were aware of the 90-day maternity leave system before and after childbirth, but only 9.6% utilized it.

A motion to dismiss is when a defendant disagrees with the prosecution's evidence when the judge asks the defendant before a criminal trial, "Do you agree with the prosecution's evidence?"
You should never answer “yes” hastily.
…If there was an illegal investigation, such as arresting you without a warrant or failing to inform you of your right to remain silent during the arrest process, you should argue that the suspect interrogation records based on this are illegal evidence and should not be used as evidence.
The same goes for other pieces of evidence.
You must clearly understand and assert that all illegally collected evidence, such as the statement of a witness who gave false statements after receiving money, or your notebook taken without a warrant, cannot be used by the prosecutor in trial.

One of the fundamental reasons for the existence of an inheritance tax is that inherited property is unearned income obtained without labor.
As more and more people enjoy stable lives without working, the motivation of those who need to work to survive will inevitably decline, and as mobility between social classes becomes more difficult, it will be difficult for the economy to remain vibrant in the long term.
Capitalist society is an economic system that recognizes individual private property, but at the same time, it is an economic system that provides everyone with the opportunity to develop their abilities and talents through fair competition.
However, if the inheritance of wealth occurs without any regulation, the capitalist economy loses a great driving force for growth.
