EXTRA POSTING by Dong Min CHOI

Q. Is modern democracy really "the will of the people"?
At present, democracy in society is adopting indirect democracy in consideration of realistic aspects.
However, I can not say that democracy is the will of the true people because indirect democracy can not bring all the opinions of all people and the representatives of the rulers and others are committed many corruption.

Q. Do you think the entire wolrd can become democratic?
My answer is no.
First, democratic politics often does not happen in countries that adopt democracy.
In countries such as China, North Korea and Russia, rulers with strong authority can easily ignore popular opinions.
It is not easy for democratic politics to happen in the theocracy such as the Middle East and North Africa.
Therefore, the world can not do democracy.

Q. Is there ranking in men vs women? Korean vs Foreigner?
I do not think there is such a class, but I think that the thinking and perception of modern Korean society is a bit different.
First of all, although the human rights of women have improved much in Korean society, it seems that male supremacy still remains because the problem such as glass ceiling is still occurring.
Also, in the case of foreigners in Korea, there is a tendency to ignore a little in the case of Asian and black people, and it seems that Westerners, that is, white people tend to prefer.
