South Korea’s 1998 “Sunshine Policy” was intended to alleviate historical strain and improve political communication with North Korea. By encouraging collaboration and providing economic support, South Korean President Kim Dae Jung hoped to rebuild broken connections with North Korea with the end goal of peaceful co-existence. In response to this new foreign policy and prospect of reunification, many South Korean directors took matters into their own hands and started to experiment with films that

Figure 1: Three Generalisations of Urban Structure 2.2.1.1 Concentric Zone Theory The concentric zone theory is also known as Burgess’ model and one of the oldest theoretical models that describe urban social structures. As shown in Figure 2.1, there are six circles in the model; each circle represents a zone of social groupings and land uses. As the city grows each zone must spread and move outward, encroaching onto the next one in the process known as invasion and successions (Park, 1989).

Just about a month ago, as he spoke for the first time to the United Nations, President Donald Trump made this statement: “The United States has great strength and patience, but if it’s forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea” ( ). As an Asian-American of South Korean descent, I am not disinterested in such a warning. In our living room after the evening news, I discussed the president’s words with my father, a native of South Korea, a past

class. Using Vygotsky’s theory, specifically the zone of proximal development, I can easily explain how he was able to acquire this creative writing skill. Whenever he was first introduced to writing or creative writing most likely in elementary school, it was provided by a teacher or some outside source. This support of others, called scaffolding, would be very helpful during this time to make sure he is writing correctly. In stage two in the zone of proximal development he would then learn to assist

Sociocultural Theory: Perseus and Simba “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” This saying means parents raise their own children to be just like them, however sometimes it’s just in their jeans to be who they are and eventually share the same traits their parents have. While growing up we learn from what our parents teach us but sometimes other children have to learn by there own, but family dynamics helps with that. While sociocultural theory may account for the son of the empowerment of

focused on social interactions in the development of cognitive process like memory, solving problems, and self-regulation. Vygotsky’s believed that the Zone of Proximal Development is different in all students because some students may have their Zone of Proximal Development narrower than others. This means that those students with a narrow Zone of Proximal Development would need more assistance compared to those who do not have their ZPD narrow. In scaffolding, the learner is in control while the

Rationale With the implementation of the Common Core Speaking and Listening Standards in 2010, classroom instruction in the facilitation of student discourse has become not only beneficial, but required. The Speaking and Listening standards require students to “participate effectively in a range of conversations and collaborations with diverse partners, building on others' ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively” (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.SL1). Yet, in the majority of classrooms, this

North Korea Famine Abstract Famine is the one of the biggest problems in the world. More than 800 million people are suffering from hunger. The people of North Korea suffer from hunger on the level of the notorious Somalia, Sudan, and Ethiopia famines. They just suffer in silence behind the world media. There are several facts about the North Korea famine. One of the main factors for the North Korea famine

theories. The theory separates knowledge into three categories 1- what I can do 2- what I can do with help, and 3- what I can’t do. The Zone of Proximal development is a term for the second category where teachers can successfully help guide students towards knowledge. The way that this teacher has been able to educate such a varying classroom shows that the zone of proximal development is large enough for a range of students. Sometimes there will be an exceptional student who either is already knows
