The evils of law / Emile

The troika that destroys Korean society are ideology, religion, and law. Of course, the most important of them is ideology. Ideology always lasts long, does not endure for long, and is not gentle. The same is true of religion and legal culture (especially the prosecution). The three ideological troika have common problems. They hinder the power to think. Once created, unconditional obedience is forced. This can be described as 'no philosophy (power to think).

 

In particular, these days, we cannot help but talk about the problems of law education and fundamentally the problems of Korean education.

 

Korea has a fairly developed legal culture. Law was a tool for rising status, a tool for realizing justice, and a means of evading law. Evading is not illegal, but it means agile and aggressive immoral behavior of pioneering a niche market using the law.

 

The massive charter fraud in Korea allowed us to see how deeply rooted law without morality is in the lives of the people in Korean society. On the one hand, many Koreans experience how confusing it is for them and the country when a lawyer without philosophy plays politics.

 

In Korea, many gifted students became legal professionals. Then, they studied law for a long time and worked in the legal profession for a long time. However, Korean society is changing rapidly, but legal professionals are more likely to become entrenched. Legal professionals are genuine professionals. If they think they will do something different from the law, they will have to humbly accept the environment first. And they have to make constant efforts. When they quickly realized that a gifted student is a gifted student in study or law, not a gifted student in the world, other abilities could arise.

 

When I graduated from middle school, I read some of Rousseau's "Emile" that I received as a dumping item. In the book, he told me not to despise the underachieving boy. It was written that the boy will grow taller and intellectually over time. I remembered the content for a long time. I also renovated myself at a very old age, who was sluggish in development, brainless, and unable to exercise. Turns out, I was better at sports than others. On the contrary, what if the gifted person in his boy days spent decades on vested interests without self-improvement? He thinks he is smart, but others will laugh at him. It is believed that law played that role in Korea.

He has to learn for himself, but he uses his own intellectual ability but does not use other people's. This is because if he don't want to be bound by anything, he shouldn't be bound by authority. And most of our errors come from others more than from us. Mental health arises from such constant training. It's like physical health is given by labor and fatigue.

Korea should look again at all areas of education, including law education, for the future.
