Whenever I receive unsolicited mails, first I check from whom those mails were sent. The mails are roughly divided two types. If those tiresome mails are from people or companies which are aiming many and unspecified persons in order to sell some goods or service without addressing explicit receiver, they are thrown straightforwardly to the waste box. However, in case of mails which have my name on their envelopes, it is necessary to check how they can be send to me. In many cases, the mails are from my implicit consent after all. Nowadays, the personal information needs to be provided for using some service both via online and off-line. This information can be used as a mailing source. For example, when we open the bank account or use online baking service, we are requested to fill up the application forms, in which we usually supply our significant information, such as name, address, phone number, e-mail address, gender, marriage status, income and even the identification number. It is common that the use of overall service is prohibited if I refuse to provide the 'essential' information usually marked with a red asterisk. Another example is customer cards, which from department stores to the small coffee shops in the corner every other store offers, we use to get discount or to sum the frequent user mileage for future use. When we provide our information to attain those cards, we are unwittingly spilling our personal data which is sufficient for other people or company to use as a marketing means. Those marketing materials are beneficial in a few cases, but they are the source of annoyance in most cases. Conversely, there are mails I cannot track how the senders acquire my information. Nowadays, a lot of entities have expertise in collecting the scattered information to sum the integrate database. They use this database not only for increasing their customers, but also as a merchandise itself. One of the Korean main credit card companies, for example, was accused of selling customers information to a foreign marketing company. While this kind of unsolicited mails is also doomed to be trashed shortly, it is quite unpleasant to realize that the personal privacy is the last thing I can have in this information age.

Sources

Q: Name some types of primary, secondary, and tertiary sources that are used by researchers in your field. For example, if you study history, a primary source might be letters written by historical figures. When you research a topic, how do you keep track of information?

A1:
Primary sources
- questionnaires (ex. meeting planners' convention site decision prefrence)
- interview with meeting planners and participants
- opinion poll (ex. favorite tourist destination in Asia)
- research reports (ex. when writing the literature review on site decision preference research methods)
Secondary sources
- research papers
Tertiary sources
- text books explaining meeting industry's various practices
- magazines (public & commercial ones for public interest on tourism & meeting)

A2
- for definition: internet encyclopedia, APEX terminology
- library sort cards
- aladin research tool: using keywords
- textbook's mention, references, and bibliography

If you visit the Sang-jok-am County Park in Goseung, Gyeongsangnam-do of Korea, which I toured two years ago, you can experience the wondrous geological phenomenon yourself. As this park is located in the place adjoining the land and the sea, you can get an extensive view of gorgeous south sea, called ‘Hallyeosudo.’ Harmonized with the cliff of stratified rocks with various fantastic shapes and marine caves, the sea gains its color more brilliantly. However, what makes this place famous is the enormous number of footprints of dinosaurs engraved along as wide as 6 kilometers’ coast. These footprints are found in the layer accumulated in the Cretaceous Period of the Mesozoic Era, which is believed to exist around 100 million years ago. These More than 1,900 fossilized footprints offers not only the evidence confirming the fact many kinds of dinosaurs inhabited this site, but also invaluable academic data on the environmental and ecological condition of that period as well as the lifestyle of dinosaurs. Accordingly, this park is recognized one of the largest dinosaur fossil reservoirs in the world, with the sites in Brazil and Canada. In addition, as this park retains Invertebrate vestiges, ripple marks and chasm which are also significant geological materials showing prehistoric environment, it would be developed to the tourist destination with both ecological and educational values.

I participated in the Chinese class for beginners offered by the Lifetime Education Institute of the Hallym University in Korea for two semesters several years ago. As the Chinese is used by the most people through the world, and China is a rushing force in economy as well as in politics, I thought it necessary to know the ABC of Chinese to understand the nation. Although Korea, China, and Japan belong to the same cultural area based on Chinese characters, each nation has its own language and character system. Moreover, as China has developed its unique ‘簡體字’ system, which is a method that making complex letters simple and is said to be devised to let the common people learn the writing more easily, even though I know the basic Chinese characters, mere reading the letters is not a easy task, let alone understanding what Chinese speak. The class started with the brief greetings such as ‘Ni hao(How are you?),’ and ‘Zai jian(See you again).’ But I could not avoid facing to learn the words, the pronunciation system and the grammar. The most difficult part was to learn the tone of each word by heart. When I learned a word, I had to memorize three elements together: the letter itself, phonetic symbols in alphabet, and tone of pronunciation. Because Chinese has four different tones in pronunciation, and because the tone of a word is a factor that differentiates its meaning, I needed to be accurate. Pronunciation [hanguo], for example, means 韓語(Korean language) when it is pronounced with a rising tone like [hán-], but with the falling tone like [hàn-], it has a totally different meaning as 漢語(Chinese language). However, my experience in learning English and a little French helped me cope with these difficulties. And the experience in teaching English grammar to the students was much more beneficial to understand how I should manipulate the grammar elements such as phrases, clauses and sentences. And I learned that the old proverb is true: There is no royal road to learning.
