Book Introduction
“Is the population crisis really just a problem for adults?”
The #1 keyword predicted for college interview and essay questions is "population crisis."
In an era where my thoughts become scores,
The discussion is structured in 4 steps: 'Open background ▶ Organize terms ▶ Virtual discussion ▶ Organize thoughts'
The perfect book to help you find your own thoughts!


This book examines the background and current state of the "population crisis" that teenagers inevitably face as they grow up, and debates the pros and cons to help them develop a perspective on society and find their own unique perspective.
This new book by Seung Ji-hong, who has been conveying essential social issues such as voting rights for 18-year-olds, politics, and human rights in easy language, moves away from education that focuses on finding the right answer and leads students to think and speak freely.


The Ministry of Education announced the 2028 college entrance reform plan, expressing a strong commitment to “valuing creativity and problem-solving skills over knowledge.”
The era has arrived where my thoughts, not my knowledge, are the score.
Shin Jong-ho, a professor of education at Seoul National University, said that even with a short conversation during an interview, there is a difference between a child who organizes his thoughts and speaks for himself and a child who has mainly been spoon-fed through private education.
So how can we cultivate children's thinking? This book serves as an excellent guide for students, parents, and teachers grappling with this question.
We will examine the 'population crisis', which is emerging as the most urgent problem among the problems facing our society.
By examining five perspectives closely related to the lives of teenagers, including career paths, the economy, and university competition rates, this book explains why teenagers, already busy with exams and performance assessments, should pay attention to the population crisis.
By discussing pros and cons based on various phenomena and knowledge such as politics, society, and culture, we can break away from the frame of 'population crisis = birth rate' and develop a broad perspective and deep thinking skills.
By the time you finish this book, you will be able to discover and express your own thoughts on the population crisis.
Although it may seem like a difficult topic, it is written in language that even elementary school students can easily read, which is an advantage because it allows adults and siblings to read and discuss it together.

Publisher's Review
"We will prioritize creativity and problem-solving skills over knowledge," according to the Ministry of Education's 2028 College Entrance Examination Reform Plan.
Expanding the High School Essay and Descriptive Questions!
Seoul National University's Topic Discussion Interview Program Strengthened!


〈Middle and High School Students' Essay-Based Topic Debate Class〉 Series ②
Discussing the "population crisis" that teenagers will inevitably face as they grow up.

This is the second book in a series of essay-based discussion classes for middle and high school students.
Rather than covering multiple social issues, we aim to examine one topic from a broad perspective. This time, we will discuss the 'population crisis'.
The population decline in our country is proceeding at a rate and steepness unprecedented in the world, to the point that the government recently declared a 'national population emergency.'
Are we truly aware of the increasingly serious problem of population decline? We examine the inevitable challenges facing teenagers as they grow up.
In particular, we will examine closely related perspectives on the lives of teenagers, such as whether college admission will become easier as the population declines, and how jobs in future society will change, and we will have an interesting virtual discussion.
As I pondered over which of the two opposing views was the more correct direction, I discovered my own thoughts on the population crisis.
Your perspective on society broadens.


The #1 keyword expected to appear in middle and high school student debates, essays, and interviews is "population crisis."
Even if you don't have any background knowledge, if you read along,
A magical discussion book that lets you speak and express your thoughts naturally!


The more you know, the more you can think and speak.
That's why discussion is difficult.
The "Middle and High School Students' Essay-Based Topic Debate Class Series" published by Geuldam Publishing allows students to think and speak about topics sufficiently even if they lack background knowledge.
This is because it is structured in 4 steps: ‘Learning background knowledge -〉 Organizing key terms -〉 Having a virtual discussion -〉 Organizing my thoughts’, and provides a wealth of background knowledge along with key keywords before a full-scale discussion.
It explains in easy language the historical, cultural, economic, and political backgrounds based on demography, such as why the population crisis is such a hot potato today and the impact of population on the economy and environment.
As you follow this book, you will naturally accumulate background knowledge and understand the pros and cons.
Based on this, I will establish my own opinion.


This book will be a great resource for teachers and parents who want to initiate discussions with their teens, as well as for young people who want to delve deeper into today's social issues.
In particular, the population crisis is a keyword that college entrance exam experts unanimously cite as a likely topic for essay and interview questions, so it will also be helpful in preparing for essay and descriptive questions.
