As artificial intelligence services targeting humans increase, social demands are increasing that artificial intelligence should also be made on an ethical basis. Following this trend, the government and businesses are preparing policies and norms related to artificial intelligence ethics. In order to establish reasonable policies and norms, the first step is to understand the public's perceptions. In this paper, social data and news comments were collected and analyzed to understand the public's perception related to artificial intelligence and ethics. Interest analysis, emotional analysis, and discourse analysis were performed and visualized on the collected datasets. As a result of the analysis, interest in "artificial intelligence ethics" and "artificial intelligence" favorability showed an inversely proportional correlation. As a result of discourse analysis, the biggest issue was "personal information leakage," and it also showed a discourse on contamination and deflection of learning data and whether computer-made artificial intelligence should be given a legal personality. This study can be used as data to grasp the public's perception when preparing artificial intelligence ethical norms and policies.

The surveys for public awareness in relation to socio-scientific issues (SSI) have been limited to several topics such as public perception of risks about the issues and preference for some policies. To illuminate the public science culture literacy about SSI from a holistic perspective, this study aimed to develop an indicator system. For this purpose, the issue on climate change, which is currently one of the biggest issues worldwide, was adopted as a specific SSI and the framework centering on climate change was developed. Science culture literacy about SSI was defined as a lifestyle to identify SSI from various viewpoints and to cope with problems related to SSI appropriately. In the framework proposed, individual science culture indicators are divided into Potential and Activity area. The Potential consists of categories of Interest, Opinion and Understanding, whereas the Activity is composed of categories of Learning and Practice. To examine the reliability and validity of this framework statistically, the developed questionnaire was reviewed by science educators, environment experts and atmospheric scientists and was used to asked 777 secondary students. Based on the results of statistical analyses, the framework was modified and it consequently had 2 areas, 5 categories, 15 sub-categories, 34 indicators and 63 items. It is expected that the framework of science culture indicators for SSI could be used as a measurement tool for public awareness about various SSI topics.

In the past, the design education focused on the technique and skill to satisfy the production and consumption activities of a corporation based on beauty and practicality in the industrial age. Now, it's time to switchover to a life-quality enhancing education by harmonizing and meeting the public's physical and mental needs because design education is a character education which enhances the quality of life by uplifting people's aesthetic sense. This paper has emphasized on the importance of public education of design through the theoretical investigation on social environmental changes caused by the emergence of information society,,education problems, public education, and the necessity of design education. The reason why this study should be done has been suggested by investigating the necessity of this research and bringing up the issue. Furthermore, the current status and problems of public education on design have been analyzed. Then, based on the result, the development direction of design education has been suggested. This study can be concluded as follows: First, the design education should change from its vertical structure to a horizontal one. It should be widely spread to the public, getting off from its privatization for a certain group. Second, designers and the public should correct their way of thinking about design. The ordinary people as well as the designers should cultivate their capability to find and take care of design related issues in their everyday lives. Third, all people should be the subject of design education for the public. As a part of cultural education on the public's aesthetic sense, design education should be reborn as a field of study in which a sound public culture can be developed by the integration of human life and culture, exceeding the limit of school curriculum.

This study was written to examine the acceptance of pansori in movies based on pansori, and to explore changes in modern society's perception and expectations of pansori. A pansori is getting the love of the upper and lower castes in the late Joseon period, but loses the status at the time of the Japanese colonial rule and Korean War. In response, the country designated pansori as an important intangible cultural asset in 1964 to protect the disappearance of pansori. Until the 1980s, however, pansori did not gain popularity by itself. After the 2000s, Pansori tried to breathe in with the contemporary public due to the socio-cultural demand to globalize our culture. And now Pansori is one of the most popular cultures in the world today, as the pop band Feel the Rhythm of KOREA shows. The changing public perception of pansori and its status in modern society can also be seen in the mass media called movies. This study explored the process of this change with six films based on pansori, from "Seopyeonje" directed by Lim Kwon-taek in 1993 to the film "The Singer" in 2020. First, the films "Seopyeonje" and "Hwimori" were produced in the 1990s. Both of these films show the reality of pansori, which has fallen out of public interest due to the crisis of transmission in the early and mid-20th century. And in the midst of that, he captured the scene of a singer struggling fiercely for the artistic completion of Pansori itself. Next, look at the film "Lineage of the Voice" in 2008 and "DURESORI: The Voice of East" in 2012. These two films depict the growth of children who perform art, featuring contemporary children who play pansori and Korean traditional music. Pansori in these films is no longer an old piece of music, nor is it a sublime art that is completed in harsh training. It is only naturally treated as one of the contemporary arts. Finally, "The Sound of a Flower" in 2015 and "The Singer" in 2020. The two films constructed a story from Pansori's history based on the time background of the film during the late Joseon Dynasty, when Pansori was loved the most by the people. This reflects the atmosphere of the times when traditions are used as the subject of cultural content, and shows the changed public perception of pansori and the status of pansori.

중등 지구과학교과서와 대학 교재에서 학습하는 광물과 암석 이름은 대부분 영어, 한자, 일본어에서 도입한 용어이다. 이 용어에 대한 어원과 말뜻에 대한 분석이나 연구가 되지 않은 상태에서 바로 사용해왔기 때문에 지질학 초보자들이 학습하기에 아주 어렵다. 광물과 암석이름의 어원과 말뜻을 잘 알지 못하고 단순히 외우거나 학술적인 이름이나 의미만을 생각하고 사용하고 있으며, 한 광물이나 암석에 대하여 여러 가지 이름을 사용하기도 한다. 심지어 전혀 엉뚱한 암석 이름이 대중 사이에서 사용되고 있지만 이를 통제하지도 못하고 그 명칭이 틀렸다는 것도 모르고 있다. 예를 들면 영어로 Shale을 중등 교과서와 대학 교재에서 영어 발음을 따라 한국어로 셰일이라고 표기하지만 중국과 일본에서는 혈암(頁岩)으로 표기한다. 우리나라의 대중 매체의 인터넷 사전과 대중들이 사용하는 용어는 중국어 혈암(頁岩)을 공공연하게 '혈암'으로 표기하고 있다. '혈(頁)'을 한자 사전에서 찾아보면 '머리 혈'과 '책 면 엽'으로 정리되어 있다. 그러면 셰일의 암석학적 특징으로 볼 때 혈암이라고 해야 하나? 엽암이라고 해야 하나? 과학과의 다른 분야에서는 어려운 한자를 쉬운 한글로 표준화하는 연구와 실행을 꾸준히 진행해오고 있다. 생물의 경우 생물의 어려운 학명을 이미 쉬운 한글로 표준화했으며, 그 학명이 학생과 대중들에게 널리 알려져 있다. 지구과학의 교과서 문장에 나오는 단어와 전문용어가 한자를 한글로 표기한 경우가 많은데 이 단어들을 하루 속히 한글로 표준화하여 전문가들이 먼저 사용하는 동시에 학생과 대중들에게 알려 주어야 한다. 이렇게 되면 지구과학의 내용보다 용어가 어렵다는 인식을 바꾸어 줄 것이고 지구과학을 전공하고자 하는 학생들에게 희망과 용기를 줄 것이다. 그 일환으로 광물과 암석 이름의 어원을 조사해 보고 한글 표준화의 가능성을 타진해 보고자 한다.

2005년 1월 30일 뉴욕타임즈는 미국에서의 에이즈 수직감염률이 거의 소멸되어 간다고 보고 했다. 1990년대에는 일년에 약 2,000건이 발생하던 것이 2003년도에는 약 200건이 발생하였으며 그 발생률은 더욱 낮아지리라고 예상하고 있다. 이렇게 수직감염률이 낮아진 이유는 대중의 에이즈에 대한 인식(awareness)이 향상되면서 자발적으로 에이즈 검사를 받고, 산전 진찰을 철저히 받고 있기 때문이라고 설명하고 있다. 최근 미국의 에이즈 역학에서 중요한 점은 가임기에 있는 여성, 특히 흑인여성들 사이에서의 에이즈 발생률이 가장 높다는 점인데, 이는 이들이 산전진찰을 통하여 에이즈 검사를 통한 진단을 받는 비율이 높고, 이러한 이유로 인하여 수직감염률은 반대로 낮아지는 양상을 보이는 것이 아닌가 유추할 수 있다.

미디어 문화는 대량 생산과 거대한 수용자 집단을 구성하고 있으며, 대중의 일상성의 문화로 자리매김 하고 있는 특징을 갖고 있다. 그러나 리얼리티 TV는 대량생산과 확산에 따른 다양한 사회문화적 현상을 야기하고, 비판적 견해도 따르고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 리얼리티 TV에 대한 재해석의 필요성이 요구됨을 인식하고, 이를 바탕으로 사회문화적으로 미치는 영향에 대해 고찰하고자 한다.

The growing socio-economic effect caused by science and technology requires public to participate in policy-making process, which makes government to boost public understanding of science(PUS). Government has also exerted to construct infra for PUS. However results are not so meaningful. The government-funded science museum has mainly provided the program for students. Besides, science broadcasting channel has recorded the worst viewing rate. Meanwhile, some of the private sector-manufactured contents have attracted public attention in recent years, which is realized by considering elements such as an interesting topic selection, use of outside experts, two-way communication system, level adjusting for public through flexible running system. This study analyze podcast based program, face to face lectures, display contents by private industry, fab lab etc. on the base of the reciprocal PUS model to sort out the reason they have successful results. Futhermore, it argues that government should intensify support for private sector and create synergy effect by cultivate collaboration system between government and private sector to enhance the efficiency of PUS and offers public policy to realize the plan.

This study aimed to improve the public perception of people with mental illness by suggesting the need for public efforts and proposing specific plans. Demographic differences in the attitudes towards mental illness, the need of public service announcements to improve public perception of mental illness, and the current and expected situation of each advertising medium were analyzed, and plans to improve the advertising were proposed. Three mental illnesses that are possible to recover from through treatment-depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD), and panic disorder-were examined primarily, and the general public residing in Seoul and the capital area were surveyed. A comparison of the respondents' attitudes towards people with mental illness showed that there were significant differences in their attitudes with respect to gender, marital status, age, and family history. On the other hand, there was no significant difference with respect to religion, monthly income, or academic background. Most of the respondents recognized that public efforts to improve the public perceptions of mental illness, i.e., efforts through the mass media, were necessary and should be intensified though television, Internet, radio, billboard, and transport advertising. Based on the above findings, this study highlights the necessity for advertising through mass media for positive public perceptions of people with mental illness and proposes plans to intensify the advertising, focusing on social, organizational, and individual levels.

This study assumes that the perception of the ex-prisoner's against stigma will affect trust in interpersonal relationship. Prior studies have suggested that there is a stigma at the base of the awareness where people avoid and discriminate against ex-prisoner's. This in turn affects ex-prisoner's' recividicism, but there is no study about ex-prisoner's perception of stigma in Korea. Although stigma can be explained in numerous ways, this study is based on the opinion of Phillips(2016), which divides the subscale of stigma as perceived public stigma, perceived personnel stigma, and self stigma. He insisted that ex-prisoner's believe perceived public stigma higher than self-stigma. these results are consistent with this study. However, it is important to note that although ex-prisoner's are more aware of public stigma than self-stigma, they are actually more influenced by self stigma in pereonal relationships. This means that ex-prisoner's are more susceptible to internal psychological awareness than external social recognition. Therefore, the development and intervention of the program to overcome the internal self-stigma of the released prisoner is required. In this study, first, stigma, especially self-stigma turned out to have influence on the interpersonal trust. Therefore, as self-stigma level increased, the interpersonal trust decreased in most cases. Second, it was shown that stigma has the greatest influence on children out of family members, co-workers out of social relationship, self trust out of general relationship in. This confirms that stigma is a factor that greatly influences relationship between important people for ex-prisoner's. Third, since self-sigma negatively reestablish self-identity, make individuals recognize themselves as deviators and show bad lifestyle, which lead them to become habitual offender, ex-prisoner's need to make efforts to overcome self-stigma, and development and intervention of program that can make ex-prisoner's have positive self identity is requested. Fourth, although participants in the study were only male, it seems that there is difference in recognition of stigma by gender, and influence of stigma not only on interpersonal relationships, but also on social reintegration and recidivism imply that these might be good future research topics.
