Woman only car in the subway

It is often said that woman only car in the subway is not necessary. However, I think subway should have woman only car, especially in the rush hour for these two reasons; it can prevent possible sexual harassment and it gives better atmosphere for both men and women.

First of all, it can reduce possible sexual harassment in the subway. Also, it is important to remove the chance to commit sexual harassment from guy. This is because most of woman do not say anything even though they got sexual harassment in the subway because they are afraid about saying that and get focused by the crowd. According to the subway conducted by Korean government, almost more than 50% women got sexual harassment more than one time in the subway. Among them, 30% of women could say anything to the one who did sexual harassment to that woman. This study shows removing any chance to commit sexual harassment is really necessary and woman only car could be one of solutions for that.

Also, it gives better subway condition to men and women both. This is because woman only car can reduce misconception happening in the subway in the rush hour from both gender. For example, if there are too many people in the subway, it sometimes happens that a guy touches a girl’s body by accidentally or opposite. So, they have to more care about their position not to touch other’s bodies in the subway. However, it there are only woman in the subway, woman can feel much safe and comfortable with not worrying about somebody touching her body. Also, for guy, if there is no woman in the car that they ride in, they can move much freely.

To sum up, woman only car is necessary not only for woman but also for man for reducing sexual harassment and making comfortable subway. Actually, the best solution of reducing sexual crimes in the subway is enhancing seriousness of sexual harassment to guy who commits sexual harassment. They should feel shame by themselves. Also, woman who got the crimes should not feel guilty about that. They have to have more confident that they are not wrong, and should say he did sexual harassment to me loudly.

Marijuana use in Korea

In Korea it is common conception that marijuana is really bad, so it should be kept in illegal. However, I cast a doubt to the idea. I think marijuana should be legalized for these two reasons. Marijuana is not that harmful, and government can make money.

First of all, marijuana is less harmful than we think. Since Korea government categorized marijuana as a drug, the one of misconception in Korea is that marijuana is as harmful as heroin or cocaine. However, it is not true. According to study conducted by UK, marijuana is actually less harmful than cigarette and alcohol to our bodies. Now in Korea, alcohol and cigarette are legal even though they are more dangerous. It the reason why we legalized those of substance, alcohol and cigarette is to reduce people’s stress, marijuana would be better for that. Think about other those two substances. Cigarette is defiantly dangerous and addictive. My father smokes cigarette, and he knows smoking cigarette is not good. He tried to quit smoking but always failed. And, alcohol makes people being crazy. If we go out weekend in downtown, we can see many drunken crazy people. I pretty much sure they would commit crimes 100times more than people who smokes just marijuana.

Also, government can make money from marijuana. This is because they can charge a lot of tax to marijuana like as they do to alcohol or cigarette. Also, Korea has nice soil and weather to plant marijuana. Other than just regulate marijuana, Korean government can use it or make it business since marijuana can be used as medicine, fabric, and even paper. For example, in order to buy marijuana under the table in Korea, people have to pay a lot of money because it is illegal. So, even though Korean government charges a lot of tax, they would buy. Also, if it becomes legal, it is easier to control abusing from teenager or overusing.

To sum up, keeping marijuana illegal does not make sense to me. I guess it is because of pressure of cigarette and alcohol companies. I hope marijuana can be legal one day soon.
