In this article, we examined designer babies and bioethics, and we reviewed how Anna argued that she had the rights to her body through trial with parents. No matter what purpose a cloned human or designer baby was born with, it is worth being respected as the birth itself. After learning the secrets of his birth in Jodie Picoult's My Sister's Keeper, which is based on a designer baby, Anna falls into confusion of identity and sues parents who decide to transplant organs regardless of Anna's will. Anna argues that she has the right to make decisions about her own body and that even her parents can't disregard her opinions. Scientists should stop their research if using biotechnology to reproduce humans, such as designer babies and cloned humans, can destroy the natural order.

The aim of this essay was to investigate Marlow's desire for constructing enlightenment subject of knowledge and power sustained by the collusion of imperialism and patriarchy in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Marlow's narrative, based on his journey up the river in Africa to retrieve Kurtz, attempts to conceptualize himself as the subject of the enlightenment reason and rationality. In the novella, collusive network of ideologies of empire and gender contributes to the making of a Western Enlightenment subject. Marlow eulogizes himself for realizing the harsh realities of imperialism, political domination and economic exploitation of the natives in Africa. However, Marlow is a colonial subject who has been ruled by the hierarchical system of thought in the Western logocentrism. He is not aware that his narrative has already been infiltrated by the ideological discourse of the totalitarian enlightenment. His narrative in effect is not a self-congratulatory testimony to truth and realities but a narcissistic and self-defeating document. Marlow unconsciously employs the totalitarian ideologies of empire and gender in order to relegate the African natives to the inhuman existence and to consign women to the sphere of illusion.

This study was attempted to understand the relationship between gender sensitivity and rejection sensitivity of nursing students. From August 26 to September 4, 2022, a survey was conducted on 180 people attending nursing universtity in I Metropolitan city, and then analyzed using the SPSS 24.0 Program. As a result of the study, nursing students' gender sensitivity had a high score of openness to gender identity and openness to gender roles, and overreaction was high among the sub-factors of rejection sensitivity. The gender sensitivity of nursing students was statistically significantly higher when female students, under the age of 23, without religion, experienced gender discrimination, and when there were LGBT people among family, relatives, or friends. In addition, rejection sensitivity was statistically significantly higher only when female students. Finally, among the sub-factors of gender sensitivity, there was a positive correlation between introspection and rejection sensitivity. In order to improve the introspection of gender sensitivity for nursing students, it is necessary to include education or programs on rejection sensitivity.

The purpose of this study was to improve awareness of network marketing business in South Korea, which takes a quite negative view of network marketing, to raise awareness of "starting up a business" as independent business owners, to assist them in building their own subjecthood in network business and entrepreneurial identity, and ultimately to give some suggestions on how to improve their self-directed entrepreneurial competency and the quality of their business management. To make an empirical analysis of 121 independent business owners of Korean native network marketing, the personal and background variables of the entrepreneurs were selected as independent variables, and entrepreneurship was selected as a mediator variable. The selected dependent variables were financial and non-financial business performances. A multiple regression analysis was conducted by inputting the variables. The findings of the study were as follows: It produced an effect of more financial performance when the innovation of the independent business owners of network marketing was better, and this innovation was possible to have only when they improved in entrepreneurial efficacy and locus of control. In contrast, only authenticity had an effect on boosting non-financial business performance among the factors of entrepreneurship. To have authenticity, it's necessary to strengthen achievement needs and awareness of locus of control among the personal characteristics of the independent business owners of network marketing. Among the factors of entrepreneurship, there was better authenticity when their personal networks were broader among their background characteristics. In addition, self-efficacy that was one of personal characteristics made a direct contribution to the enhancement of non-financial performance. As a result, independent business owners of network marketing are required to hold a strong belief in their own business, to be active in business activities and to have a high efficacy as spontaneous principal agents, and they also are required to have more adventurous, planned, active and propulsive achievement needs that enable them to attain the goals of their business and keep moving forward. Besides, they should foster their locus-of-control competency that is to control, endure and be responsible for a variety of phenomena or incidents that they face, and there will be better financial performance or non-financial performance only when they demonstrate their self-belief and confidence and when they have faith in and conviction about themselves. For independent business owners of network marketing, a consumer-centered thinking that entails authenticity and trustworthiness and touches the hearts of customers is a more effective marketing strategy than an egocentric thinking as sellers when they approach customers. And they are expected to make progress in terms of the quality of business management when their business attachment or enthusiasm is great enough to match their own efficacy with entrepreneurial identity or strike a balance between them.

On Kyeryong Mountain, different religious(or ideological) groups have endowed space and place with amalgams of different meanings, uses and values. In addition to Buddhism and Confucianism, Shamanism and other popular beliefs have practiced their own ideologies(or powers) to create and maintain their own territories and identities. The geographies of resistance, involving Shamanism, have been scattered all over the mountain, discontinuous in the territorialization. These geographies of resistance could be identified the best around the most sacred sites, such as Sambulbong, Amyongch'u and Sutyongch'u. The entanglement of Shamanism with Buddhism, in various patterns through space and time, has indeed contributed to the survival of Shamanism as a subordinate power.

While the affective aspects are emphasized in the current mathematics curriculum in Korea, it is just indicated a superficial degree. Therefore in this study, based on consideration for internal representational system theories, a dynamic viewpoints of self-system processes, socio-constructivist perspectives, and motivation theories, we discuss the meaning of affective competency, the motive of mathematics learning, mathematical identity of students, social environments and affective experiences, then we suggest an affective frame in mathematical learning. Hereby, we suggest what should be considered in affect instructions and the alternative goal of mathematical education in affective aspects.

The purpose of this paper is to describe and understand the lived experiences of older learners in formal education offered in an online university. Applying qualitative research methods, this paper attempts to explore the interpretation and meanings of their college studying. Ten participants in this study were selected from older students aged over 60 who had studied or were studying in a cyber university and lived in Seoul and its metropolitan area for more readily accessible and available for in-depth interviews. After the final analysis of learning experiences of older adults in an online university, six main themes were identified: self in the past, breaking from the convention, struggling with the new challenges, attaining self-actualization, integrating a new identity, future-oriented self. Finally it appears that learning experiences of the learners enabled the participants to replace their past-oriented sense of self with a more positive, future-oriented version.

In this study, 15 teacher librarians working in the high school library were interviewed in order to understand the factors and situation of teacher librarian's job burnout. The results showed that job environment, teacher librarian's role and identity, school community members' lack of awareness of school library and teacher librarians were found to be influential factors in job burnout. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to develop proper compensation system, to divide librarians and teacher librarians into clear jobs, to provide opportunities for the other teachers to extend their understanding of teacher librarians, and to provide opportunities for self development and recharging.

The purpose of this study is to review the relationship between empowerment and innovative behavior, and the moderating effect of psychological ownership in small business. In order to verify and achieve the purposes mentioned above, questionnaire data are gathered and analysed from 315 employees in manufacturing enterprises of Kangwon-do province. Multiple regression and multiple hierarchical regression analysis were applied to test the proposed hypotheses: 1) the relationship between empowerment(meaning, autonomy, self-efficacy, impact) and innovative behavior(idea development, idea implementation), 2) the moderating effect of PO(psychological ownership for organization) on the relationship between empowerment and innovative behavior, 3) the moderating effect of PJ(psychological ownership for job) on the relationship between empowerment and innovative behavior. Empirical survey's findings are as follows; First, empowerment(meaning, autonomy, self-efficacy, impact) appeared to be positively related with innovative behavior(idea development, idea implementation). Second, there was no evidence of moderating effect of PO on the relationship between empowerment and innovative behavior. Third, meaning of work was more positively related with innovative behavior(idea development, idea implementation) in higher PJ group than in lower PJ group. Fourth, impact was more positively related with idea implementation in higher PJ group than in lower PJ group.
