에세이 콘테스트 (성창제 / 중1)

Are Assange and Snowden the betrayers of the century or the protector of human rights and democracy against the supremacy of the super powers? Elaborate on your own view.

 A whistle-blower is someone who finds out that the organization they are working for is doing something immoral or illegal and tells the authorities or the public about it in the name of justice of public interest.
Julian Assange of Wikileaks and Edward Snowden leaked several top-secret U.S. government mass surveillance programs to the press. So are Assange and Snowden the betrayers of the century or the protector of human rights? In my opinion Assange and Edward are betrayers against their country.

 First of all, it Assange and Edward are working for their country government; they must not leak any of the top secret information. There are no reasons why the top secret was leaked. If Assange and Edward were more concentrated that thing would never have happened.

Assange should not have published secret diplomatic documents of the U.S. government. There is no reason why Assange published such a weird book. I think that Snowden made such a serious problem because leaking the top secrets give damage to the U.S. government if the secrets can break down the government.
What Assange published we can just don’t sell any of the books to any book stores. By te way, there are so many solutions to this problems such as we can announce that Assange is no doing the right things and the government can fire Assange for reason that he wrote a book which is about secret diplomatic documents of U.S. government.

 For my conclusion Assange and Snowden are the betrayers of their own country called USA. But I also think that somewhere in Assange and Snowden they did these criminal for their own country.
 Please list the pending issues between Korea and China and between Korea and Japan and present your advice for Korea on each of the issues.

 Three countries Japan, China and Korea are historically and geographically cooperating with each other in diverse fields including the political, military, economic and cultural fields, while also wagging competition against each other. Japan and Korea are really good friend. But, when Japan talks about lands they don’t care if the owner of that island is their allies. Right now Korea and Japan are competing with ‘Dokdo’. Under his island there are a lot of useful resources. Also, there are more new animals and plants living in Dokdo! Right now Japan is saying that Dokdo is Japan Island, but Dokdo is in our ocean territories. In the past there were Koreans living in Dokdo and there are Korean soldiers protecting that island. There are no Japanese livings or protecting the island. The second reason is that because of the Fukushima nuclear power plant exploded the water went into the ocean and killed a lot of sea animals. Also, many fish got radiation and they were exported and imported by Korea. Koreans were eating radiation fish and many people will get sick. So, we should stop importing Japanese fish anymore. Maybe when people fix the Fukushima power plant government will import the fish again.
