"Global Citizenship Education": A Collection of Humanities Essential for Young Leaders
Have fun learning with exciting movie scenes and dramatic character stories!

Driven by cutting-edge industries and K-POP, many people from many countries want to learn Korean and are curious about our country's culture.
We too, through our global network, have been able to communicate with people around the world across time and space, enabling us to expand into various fields.
People all over the world are crazy about our country's movies and dramas, and it is becoming rare for someone who started out in our country to become a global talent.
In this way, the world is becoming closer and working as one community.
In other words, we are becoming ‘global citizens’ living in a ‘global village.’


This book provides teenagers with the humanities knowledge they need to live as "global citizens" in an engaging way through scenes from movies.
This film presents six topics that global citizens should know: poverty, human rights, climate crisis, media, refugees, and ESG, in an easy and fun way.
Dramatic movie scenes and dramatic character stories provide an engaging introduction to the humanities of international society, which can sometimes feel stiff.
Young people will understand how events in one country affect many others, as if watching a movie.
You will also come to understand the trends and perspectives of the international community, feel closer to the world stage, and become a global citizen.


Why are people all over the world crazy about the movie Parasite?
What if the world were one where fourth place was happier than first place?
A humanities journey through film depicting the values, ideas, and cultures shared by people around the world today.

The box office success of the movie “Parasite” did not only happen in Korea.
It is gaining popularity and being talked about by many people all over the world, including North America.
Why has Parasite captured the hearts of people around the world? It's because the film tackles the theme of "polarization," a problem not only in Korea but around the world.
The film uniquely explores the characteristics and limitations of capitalism, which underpins polarization.
The authors, who are dedicated to educating global citizens, discuss the humanities knowledge contained in the film's scenes, providing not only the enjoyment of watching the film from a broad perspective, but also food for thought about the concerns and future of not only our country but also the global society.


This book covers six topics in global citizenship education.
Chapter 1 examines the global social problem of 'poverty'.
It tells us what efforts should be made to solve poverty.
Chapter 2 examines the various ‘human rights’ that appear in the film.
If you are a global citizen, you will understand why you need to know human rights.
Chapter 3 examines the climate crisis, the biggest issue facing the world.
Various solutions and ideas are presented, such as how to live a pleasant and eco-friendly life in a big city.


Chapter 4 talks about 'media', which brings the world closer together.
Through film, we examine the question of whether media is truly safe from various perspectives.
Chapter 5 discusses the hot potato of ‘refugees’.
The image of refugees in the film reminds us that this is no longer a story that has nothing to do with us.
In the final chapter 6, we look at 'ESG', which is becoming increasingly important.
It talks about how important corporate social responsibility is becoming through ethical consumption and other means.
Each film includes questions that can be discussed together, providing teenagers with an opportunity to enrich their thinking.

Through this book, young people will naturally learn the liberal arts knowledge they need to know as global citizens, and will encounter the values, ideas, and cultures shared by people around the world.
This is a must-read introductory book for global citizenship education to create a sustainable future and live happily together on Earth.
