Father, 62, and mother, 56, moved to the United States in September 1992 with their daughter and son, and started a laundry business, one of the most common businesses among Korean residents in the U.S. They achieved financial stability and purchased a two-story house worth $400,000 in Centreville. Their children entered prestigious universities - their daughter going to Princeton University and their son to Virginia Tech - a dream come true for the average Korean immigrant. Before heading for the "land of opportunity," the Cho family lived a poor life, renting a room in the basement of a building. According to Cho's grandfather in an interview with local daily Hankyoreh, the family ran a small secondhand bookstore before emigrating to the U.S. According to neighbors, the parents devoted themselves to the success of their children, as most Korean parents do. Some said the parents drove their son to and from the university, about four hours away from where they lived. However, the almost realized American dream was suddenly shattered, with the son committing the deadliest ever shooting rampage. What went wrong? People who knew Cho in Korea, including his grandfather, a teacher at an elementary school Cho attended before heading for the U.S., and the owner of the house where the family lived, said Cho seemed just an ordinary kid who was very quiet. But people around him in the U.S. said with one accord that Cho behaved strangely - talking to nobody, avoiding eye contact, writing morbid scripts and sometimes behaving violently. They say he never got along with anyone - a complete loner. Some experts say Cho's problem in interpersonal relations and depression may have resulted from a young Korean immigrant's hardship in adapting to a whole new world. Many young Koreans who move to the U.S. with their parents seeking the American dream suffer culture shock from exposure to the strange environment where they cannot even understand the language. They also have confusion about identity - neither being Korean nor American. Despite their difficulty, most of them may not always receive enough care from their parents, who have to focus on working all day to survive in the new country. "Emigrant children are left alone without enough care and suffer isolation. They become introvert and self-concentrated," Korea University's sociology professor Cho Dae-yop said. Not all child emigrants have such problems, however, and those who have once suffered hardship later adapt themselves well to American society, but people need to pay attention to their difficulties along with the shooting rampage, the professor said. rahnita@koreatimes.co.kr -- Original Source: Korea Times <a href="http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/nation_view.asp?newsIdx=1343&categoryCode=113 ">http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/nation_view.asp?newsIdx=1343&categoryCode=113</a> Language A language of the resource eng Title A name given to the resource Cho Family's American Dream Broken in Pieces korea times Document A resource containing textual data.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Haeyong Chung Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kim Tong-hyung Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-10-09 Description An account of the resource By Kim Tong-hyung Staff Reporter The senseless tragedy that took the lives of 33 people at Virginia Tech University has some Korean students reconsidering their plans to study at U.S. schools. After the gunman of the worst massacre in U.S. modern history was identified as 23-year-old Korean-born student Cho Seung-hui, who took his own life during the rampage, there has been an apparent fear among Korean students that the anger toward the killer might bend toward those who share the same ethnic background as him. Most U.S. media outlets seem to be downplaying the issue of race in their coverage of the incident, focusing more on the issue of gun control. However, there have been sporadic reports of verbal abuse and threats against Korean and other Asian Americans, according to Korean communities in Virginia and other parts of the U.S. Cheon Do-sang, a 30-year-old office worker in Seoul, has been studying between working hours in the hope of taking a master of business administration (MBA) course at an American university. Now, he is having second thoughts. ``I am thinking about choosing a school in London instead, where I might have an easier time finding a shorter course with cheaper tuition fees,'' said Cheon, who worries that enmity toward Korean students might develop in U.S. schools. ``I have already applied for a number of schools now, including a U.S. school which had originally been at the top of my list. However, should I be accepted to attend that school in September, it will still be a tough decision for me,'' he said, adding that he might look for other options next year. Justified or not, Cheon's concerns seem to be shared by a lot of Koreans preparing to study overseas. An official at a consulting agency in Taechi-dong, southern Seoul, which specializes on helping Korean students find foreign schools, said he has been getting numerous calls from students and parents over the safety of studying in the U.S. The company had recruited 28 middle school students who applied for an exchange student program at a U.S. school, which was to start in July. After the Virginia Tech shootings, however, four students called off their plans to participate, despite already paying 2 million won each as deposit money. ``The problem is bigger for older students or university graduates, who have spent a longer time preparing to study abroad but are now swept by a sense of uncertainty,'' said the company official. Korean students are hardly the only ones fearing a backlash. The Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) said it pulled its ``Sparkling Korea'' television advertisements on CNN after the shootings. ``It would be inappropriate to air the 30-second ads featuring images of Korea's culture and natural beauty between the news reports of a gun shooting rampage by a Korean-born student,'' said Park Young-kyu, an official at the KTO's branch in New York. In a more bizarre case, the Kangwon Ilbo, a vernacular daily based in Kangwon Province, printed a series of interviews with government officials to soothe local worries that the Virginia Tech shootings might have a negative effect on local efforts to host the 2014 Winter Olympics at the region's ski resort in PyeongChang. Critics wonder whether the government is actually worsening the situation through its series of statements and diplomatic gestures after the tragedy, thus making it harder for Korean Americans by drumming up the ethnic issue. Lee Tae-shik, the Korean ambassador to the U.S., in particular has been under fire from the Korean media after suggesting Korean American Christians fast for 32-days to mourn the 32 people killed in Cho's shooting spree while speaking at a Washington church. ``Why does a Korean diplomat bring up the issue of race in a tragic incident that left more than 30 people killed? That is a totally new level of stupidity,'' said Lee Dong-hun, a 30-year-old Korean law student in Boston. ``The Korean government should pay its condolences to the victims at Virginia Tech as other countries did, not an apology. People like Ambassador Lee might give a very wrong idea to Americans that Koreans only care about protecting their own ethnic group and less about the senseless crime that left so many young lives dead, which is so far from the truth,'' he said. thkim@koreatimes.co.kr -- Original Source: Korea Times <a href="http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/nation_view.asp?newsIdx=1317&categoryCode=117 ">http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/nation_view.asp?newsIdx=1317&categoryCode=117</a> Language A language of the resource eng Title A name given to the resource More Koreans Rethink Study in US korea times Document A resource containing textual data.

Even a U.S. university sent a letter of assurance to international students after police had confirmed the university shooter was a native of South Korea. ``Friends told me some Koreans who were living Richmond, the state capital, were hit and even Korean-owned stores were robbed,'' Choi Min-jin, 27, told The Korea Times in a telephone interview yesterday from Centreville, VA. She said tensions around Centreville were high as this was where Cho Seung-hui, the shooter lived. ``I am so scared to go outside as hostility against Koreans seems high,'' she added. A student in Virginia Tech said Korean students were hesitating to go to the school's cafeteria for fear of possible retaliation. ``They gather in threes or fours when they go out for lunch or buying something. Some of my friends stayed in their dormitory all day long,'' the student, said on condition of anonymity. Indiana University also advised its international students to report inappropriate behavior on the campus or in the community if it happens, a copy of an assurance letter obtained by the Times shows. ``While we believe it is unlikely that you will experience inappropriate behavior on campus or in the community, I am writing to assure you of our continued concern for your well-being and our commitment to provide you with assistance and support during your time at Indiana University,'' Christopher J. Viers, director of the Office of International Services said in an e-mail to the students. ``The Indiana University Police Department (IUPD) will respond promptly to requests for aid in emergency situations, with officers who are courteous and sensitive to cultural and linguistic differences,'' the letter added. Park Seo-kyoung, a senior of the school said the school's security officers handed out emergency contact numbers to foreign students. yckim@koreatimes.co.kr -- Original Source: Korea Times <a href="http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/nation_view.asp?newsIdx=1211&categoryCode=117 ">http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/nation_view.asp?newsIdx=1211&categoryCode=117</a> Language A language of the resource eng Title A name given to the resource Korean Students in US Nervous Over Rumor korea times Document A resource containing textual data.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Elva Orozco Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Koke Providencia Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-08-07 Description An account of the resource Publicado por Koke Providencia en 4/19/2007 Los cuatro millones de seguidores de la AsociaciÃ³n Nacional de Rifles o NRA, por sus siglas en inglÃ©s, son uno de los grupos de presiÃ³n mÃ¡s exitosos de Estados Unidos. La organizaciÃ³n posee todos los requisitos para la actividad influenciadora: una moderna oficina en Capitol Hill, un departamento de telemarketing e influyentes lobbistas de alto perfil. AdemÃ¡s, la NRA tiene cerca de un millÃ³n organizadores y estrategas polÃticos a travÃ©s del paÃs. En Ã©poca de elecciones se puede estar seguro que un 95% de sus miembros irÃ¡ a votar en un paÃs donde 50% representa una alta votaciÃ³n. Esto significa que la organizaciÃ³n puede fÃ¡cilmente hacer la diferencia en elecciones estrechas, y su posiciÃ³n en el escenario polÃtico se ha vuelto muy importante junto con el otro grupo conservador norteamericano: la CoaliciÃ³n Cristiana. El lobby pro-armas ha dado resultados: ha evitado que la Corte Suprema norteamericana derogue la Segunda Enmienda, que autoriza y eleva a derecho constitucional el porte de armas. Su influencia creciÃ³ dentro de lo que fue la mayorÃa republicana hasta el aÃ±o pasado en la CÃ¡mara de Representantes. El gobierno del Presidente Bush ha prometido a la NRA apoyo en uno de sus mÃ¡s preciados objetivos: una ley que proteja a fabricantes y usuarios de armas de toda acciÃ³n legal. Sin embargo, Bush ha admitido que la prohibiciÃ³n de las armas de asalto tambiÃ©n serÃ¡ una realidad, porque tambiÃ©n hay que ganarse el apoyo de los moderados. Pero por quÃ© en Estados Unidos se permite comprar, vender y usar armas? Por una parte, en un punto de vista complicado del asunto, debemos retrotraernos a los comienzos de aquÃ©l paÃs, al peligro que significaron los ingleses, el peligro de los aborÃgenes, los nuevos retos de la colonizaciÃ³n del oeste norteamericano, el gran tamaÃ±o del paÃs, etc; por otra parte debemos tener en cuenta el respeto de la propiedad privada y el uso de cualquier medio para protegerla, la Ã©tica comunitaria en que todos los vecinos se protegen entre ellos, etc. Por otra parte, si vemos el punto de vista simple del asunto, concluÃmos que simplemente la autodefensa es un derecho humano inherente a nuestra propia naturaleza, sin perjuicio que la gran mayorÃa no sepa usar una arma o no tenga la capacidad intelectual o mental para hacerlo. SerÃa una contradicciÃ³n para el espÃritu norteamericano. Sin embargo, existe una razÃ³n que muchos desconocen: Estados Unidos es un paÃs federal y libertario. Y en un paÃs federal tan grande, con tantas expresiones polÃticas, es muy factible que existan movimientos de resistencia al gobierno federal y, por Ãºltimo, existan las garantÃas -incluso las mÃ¡s rudimentarias- para defender las libertades y la democracia. Y en ese sentido es mucho mejor crear una normativa que deje el uso de las armas en manos de particulares individuales que solamente en manos de grupos armados como la policÃa, el ejÃ©rcito, la guardia nacional, o incluso, las temidas milicias antifederales. AdemÃ¡s, nunca se sabe si en el futuro estos cuerpos armados puedan ser usados en contra de los ciudadanos. Ahora, con respecto a lo sucedido en Virginia Tech, el argumento sobre si la administraciÃ³n de la universidad o la policÃa son responsables de la matanza de los estudiantes a manos del joven coreano que todo el mundo conoce, me parece que no corresponde. Todos los participantes en el debate deberÃan tener en cuenta que Cho Seung-Hui es el Ãºnico responsable por esta masacre. Ã‰l estuvo dispuesto a entregar dolor y muerte sobre la mayor cantidad de personas inocentes posible, en un odioso cuadro de destrucciÃ³n. Ã‰l tomÃ³ decenas de prometedoras vidas, y luego la propia. Esos fueron actos de pura maldad, un recordatorio de que el mal se mueve y estÃ¡ en todas partes. Tras otros tiroteos similares, los defensores del control de armas han argumentado que un aumento en las restricciones al porte de armas significarÃ¡ el fin de estos baÃ±os de sangre. DespuÃ©s de Columbine en 1999, incluso el candidato republicano John McCain hablÃ³ sobre aumentar la regulaciÃ³n para las exposiciones de armas y las armas de asalto. Editoriales mÃ¡s liberales como el New York Times estÃ¡n culpando a Virginia por sus permisivas leyes pro-armas. El Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, nacido despuÃ©s de Columbine, ha criticado a Virginia por no requerir entrenamiento en el uso seguro de armas, no tener requerimientos de seguros para niÃ±os en las armas, no tener revisiones para las exposiciones de armas y no demandar antes de la venta de una arma la huella balÃstica correspondiente. Todas esas supuestas deficiencias son irrelevantes a lo que sucediÃ³ en Virginia Tech. Cho Seung-Hui obviamente sabÃa utilizar una arma muy bien, y no tenÃa por quÃ© preocuparse por el seguro para niÃ±os y no tenÃa por quÃ© haber comprado la pistola en una exposiciÃ³n. AdemÃ¡s, como no hubo dificultad en relacionar las rondas que Ã©l disparÃ³, la huella balÃstica no hubiese servido para nada. Sus armas no eran de asalto, sino que comunes pistolas semiautomÃ¡ticas que nadie se atreve seriamente a prohibir en EE.UU. El hecho infortunado en realidad es que los asesinos en masa no serÃ¡n contenidos por ninguna ley anti-armas, como lo demostrÃ³ Cho Seung-Hui al tener sus armas en el campus, en contravenciÃ³n a las polÃticas del campus. Ã‰l no tenÃa permiso para portar armas y habÃa borrado el nÃºmero de serie de su pistola, lo que es un delito federal. Tal vez, quizÃ¡s, Virginia incluso deberÃa liberalizar las reglas con respecto a las armas. Se deberÃa permitir el uso de armas en el campus tambiÃ©n. Es entendible que existan aprensiones por parte de mucha gente a esta propuesta, pero existen muchos precedentes en Estados Unidos sobre tiroteos que fueron evitados por otras personas que tenÃan armas. Si alguien mÃ¡s hubiese estado armado en el Norris Hall, donde el asesino matÃ³ a sus primeras vÃctimas, Ã©ste no hubiese podido usar sus armas por mÃ¡s de 20 minutos, matando a muchas vÃctimas mÃ¡s a travÃ©s del campus. La psicologÃa humana no puede ser controlada por la polÃtica pÃºblica, la normativa legal o decisiones estratÃ©gicas, porque no hubiese detenido a Cho Seung-Hui de llevar a cabo su monstruoso plan, como ha sucedido innumerables veces a travÃ©s de la historia humana. En un mundo ideal todos esos atroces acontecimientos hubiesen sido evitables. En este no. -- Fuente Original: El Conservador Resiliente - Santiago de Chile <a href="http://jadpvista.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html">http://jadpvista.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html</a> Licencia de uso: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/cl/"> Creative Commons AtribuciÃ³n-LicenciarIgual 2.0 Chile Language A language of the resource spa Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Creative Commons AtribuciÃ³n-LicenciarIgual 2.0 Chile Title A name given to the resource CuestiÃ³n de polÃtica y psicologÃa. leyes antiarmas poltica psicologa Document A resource containing textual data.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Sara Hood Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource KONRAD KLINKNER Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-08-19 Description An account of the resource By: KONRAD KLINKNER Columnist Posted: 4/23/07 The intricacies of the recent tragedy at Virginia Tech are proving to be very enduring media fodder, with NBC lapping up Cho's media package and the investigations probing deeper and deeper into the background of the gunman, savoring every juicy drop of sordid drama. It's been so lasting because, as the act of an irrational psycho, it's riddled with questions that will never be answered - and that always keeps an audience. Almost grudgingly, one of the few concrete issues that the tragedy has forced back into the national spotlight is one of America's least favorite debate topics: gun control. One might think that the massacre naturally lends itself easiest as an example of how guns are too easy to acquire here in the States. But, pro-gun rights advocates are already quick to turn it into a case for more self-defense. Indeed, some gun-rights proponents are even suggesting that Virginia Tech's campus policy of prohibiting the possession of firearms on campus should be reviewed. A fair number of students are quoted as saying they wished somebody had a gun with them on that day. Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, said, "All the school shootings that have ended abruptly in the last 10 years were stopped because a law-abiding citizen - a potential victim - had a gun. The latest school shooting at Virginia Tech demands an immediate end to the gun-free zone law which leaves the nation's schools at the mercy of madmen." So Pratt is suggesting here that allowing guns on campuses would be a big step toward curbing shooting outbreaks. Really? Who thinks to bring a gun to class on a regular basis? Beyond making a strong case for having more vigilant background checks, though, it's very unlikely that the Virginia Tech tragedy will spur any significant gun control initiative within the United States. It's not like any previous mass shooting has. To many people elsewhere in the world, the recent tragedy is yet another bloody stain on America's generally ugly reputation. European critics, as to be expected, particularly express their never-ending bafflement that Americans never seem to do anything about their gun laws. And well they may wonder. But as much as I don't care for guns and identify more with the ethos of gun-control advocates, I can't believe that gun control alone is going to fix things. Serious gun control legislation, like what Europe has, is doomed to fail in the United States as it is today, and that's because guns are just too embedded in American culture for laws alone to make lasting changes about it anytime soon. History has shown us that prohibition laws are rarely ever effective when they run up against big cultural institutions. A real attempt to bring our gun control laws anywhere near the standards of Western Europe would be disastrous today. If someone ever miraculously pulls off an outright ban on general gun ownership in the United States, that person will probably get shot, and I'd fully expect ferocious, widespread defiance of the law across the entire nation. You'd have to pry those guns from America's cold, dead hands. Before law reform can be used effectively to curb guns, our gun culture must first undergo reform. Gun ownership is often trumped up in the United States as a testimony to the hallowed virtues of individualism and self-sufficiency. The civilian's gun embodies vigilante security and is about as literal as "power to the people" gets - this harkens all the way back to the Revolutionary days when militias actually mattered, which is indeed where we got this Second Amendment from in the first place. It was an assurance to those suspicious of the new federal government that they'd always have their guns to protect them should the feds ever get too tyrannical. Even today some pro-gun rights people will talk about a civilian's firearms as the last line of defense against governmental tyranny, which really can't be anything more than just a psychological comfort, since I can't imagine today's citizenry armed with handguns and hunting rifles having any chance against our government's tanks and bomber planes. But of course it's naive to say that gun enthusiasm in America mainly comes from a militant devotion to liberty. On a more simple level, people just like shooting things, and having guns makes you dangerous and therefore potentially cool. I get somewhat torn when it comes to this, because on one hand, I'm not a fan of real guns, but I honestly also think guns are quite awesome when kept to the realm of fiction, as in video games. Most U.S. politicians tend to take an inverse stance, being way more comfortable supporting restrictions on the mere depiction of guns rather than restricting guns in real life. Personally, I would rather there not be necessary restrictions on anything, and that American culture could just chill out with the guns out of its own volition. That, I think, will bring more peace than any law will bring about, but it will be a long time in coming. -- Original Source: <a href=http://media.www.pittnews.com/media/storage/paper879/news/2007/04/23/Opinion/Gun-Control.Wont.Work.In.U.s-2873292.shtml> The Pitt News - April 23, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Annie Tubbs <annietubbs@gmail.com> Title A name given to the resource Gun control won't work in U.S. background checks gun advocates gun control laws pitt university
