The research questions are as follows. 1. What are university students' perceptions of character, cultural diversity and human rights? 2. What is the status of the experience of family life education on character, cultural diversity, and human rights, and is it related to the level of perception? 3. What variables affect character perception, cultural diversity perception, and human rights perception? The survey targeted 407 students at two universities in Seoul and used IBM PASW Statistics as a tool to analyze data. The study results are as follows. First, university students' character, cultural diversity and human rights perception were above average; however, empirical education is still required because they had low scores in the area of action. Second, male university students have less experience in family life education on character, cultural diversity and human rights compared to female university students. Third, it is necessary to integrate education for character, cultural diversity and human rights because the most influential factors in character perception, cultural diversity perception and human rights perception were character education. The role of family life education should be considered important because personality education in the home showed a relatively high correlation.

Project to deal with cultural archetype as a material for creation to develop modern one has continued. But it would be meaningless if cultural archetype is simply reproduced into modern one with modern medium so that such contents cannot see through desire that the general public, that is, contemporary recipients want. This is because desire of people who lived in the past is not completely same as one of modern people. This study began to make convergence from Bulgasalee(不可殺伊) as a Korean cultural archetype to cultural contents fit to modern times. To develop creative character based on ground for existing Bulgasalee(不可殺伊), these were investigated - method and meaning of modern transformation for classics, economic value of the character, and examples to understand direction of future development. Bulgasalee(不可殺伊) as a Korean cultural archetype is Korean style monster where wish of contemporary people was reflected so that it has character of anti-war and hero. To eat iron and be related to fire is a unique character that only Bulgasalee(不可殺伊) has.

AI technology is spreading not only to industrial fields, but also to culture, art, and content fields. In this paper, we proposed a system based on AI technology that can automate the process of reproducing contents using characters for movie contents. After creating the basic appearance of the character by using the StyleGAN2 model from the video extracted from the movie contents, analyzing the character's personality and propensity using the extracted dialogue data, it was determined from the contemplative appearance based on the yin-yang and five elements to the character's propensity. Accordingly, the external characteristics are reflected in the character. Using the OpenPose model, a character's motion is created, and the finally generated data is integrated to reproduce the content. It is expected that many movie contents can be reproduced through the study of the proposed system.
