'My Second, but my best summer global camp'
20104 Moon Ji Won (문지원)
If someone asks me what was the Global Camp like, I would answer “So tired”. But the reason why I participated this camp is that I could gain more than I feel tired such as learning new acknowledge and making new relationships with people. I participated the last global camp. Last camp, I studied about ‘Cultural contents’ and presentate. At first, the word ‘Cultural contents’ was unfamiliar and difficult, but as I communicate with teammates and research, I could understand what it really is and I felt proud that I made it. Also I could be familiar with foreign teacher as I enjoyed small party with teacher on last day. In this way, I felt sure that I could learn many things and I participated 2018 global forum camp.
Actually, my dream is to be a journalist. So I wanted to conduct a study about the press but I thought it is hard to relate it with Goryeo Dynasty cause Goryeo didn’t have the press. So I chose the field of society and the status of women in Goryeo Dynasty. ‘Girls can do anything’, this short sentence aroused a great controversy. Like this, nowadays, according to from Gangnam station murder case to the protest at Hyehwa station, gender equality, especially ‘feminism’ is rised as a big problem in Korean Society. As the status of women became a big social issues these days, I wondered how women used to live in Goryeo Dynasty.
Can you believe that woman go through streets on the horses in the past Korean Society? I guess you can’t. But in Goryeo Dynasty it was legal. I learned this through our study. Originally, I had learned that women in the past were not able to remarry and had to guard an incision to one man, and those were the duties of women. But through our study, I learned that the status of Women in Goryeo was higher than I learned, especially more than in Joseon Dynasty. But for example, women could not go outside and be free to act, and there were limitations to acquiring knowledge. After her marriage, she had to go into her in-laws ' family and live with them. After her husband died, she was banned from remarrying for three years. Like this the Status of Women in Joseon Dynasty was so poor than I knew originally.
For this camp, I played two roles as a opening MC and a leader of our team. As a opening MC, I lead opening of ‘2018 summer Global forum camp’, introducing teachers, professors and topics of each team. It took relatively long time to wrote script, but I felt proud that we did successfully. Originally, there was on team as a topic ‘Society’, but teammates wanted different topics and we had so many people so we divided our team into ‘Status of Women’ and ‘lives of People’. As a leader of a team, I determined detail subjects and divide roles. Then I lead all processes from researching materials, writing research to translating into english. The title of our research is ‘A Comparative Study of Women’s Status Goryeo Dynasty, Joseon Dynasty and Modern Society’ and we wrote this research paper by comparing Goryeo, Joseon Dynasty and Modern Society. Some of our teammates including me want to have a job in field of press, so we have talked about role of the press related to gender equality. I thought the role of press is to make a fair society, so I think press should report the news from the social point of view.
It's only the second day, I feel big achievement while our study, I learned the status of women in Goryeo Dynasty, Joseon Dynasty and Modern Society, and I deeply thought about current gender equality problem. Surely it was very difficult to find materials, write research and translate into english, but I relatively felt less tired than last time that we cooperate each other. Anand teacher is so nice that he helped us a lot during our study and because of him and I did my work sincerely. I hope our study will help us to have a bright future. And I wish for a wonderful world for the women.
