Off Skype http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200707/200707180020.html

     Some subscribers to the Internet chat and telephony service Skype are spreading dirty language and videos, knowledge-hungry users complain. Many Korean students use the Skype messenger program to practice their English conversation. Skype provides services in 28 languages to almost 200 million people in approximately 220 countries. Since launching services in Korea in 2006, Skype has managed to sign up a lot of people. Although other Internet messengers also provide chat services, voice and video calls, Skype allows users to select options for chat partners. One college student said, "It was good to make foreign friends easily with Skype. I improved my English proficiency by chatting with a French friend." But some strangers are sending her pornographic videos and making obscene jokes through the Skype messenger. “I’ve started to become prejudiced against their countries,” she says. An 18-year-old schoolgirl, who signed up with Skype to practice her English with foreign friends, said, "Most foreigners using the Skype chat service seem to just want to meet girls and make filthy jokes. So I felt bad and deleted the program just two days after installing it." An official from Auction, which manages the Korean Skype services said, "It’s impossible to monitor every Internet conversation. We are aware of the problems, but we can't take responsibility for them. In the future, we will discuss possible solutions to the problems such as word filtering, throwing abusive people out of chat rooms or making a blacklist.”

1. Have you ever used any instant messenger or internet phone to practice foreign language or making a foreign friends? What's about to talk to your friends?
2. Have you ever felt someone stalk you in cyberworld by noumous SMS or phone call? What's about 'SPAM' sms or emails?
3. Have you ever given out your personal infor over the internet? How much do you feel safe to buy or transfer money over the internet?

         Foreign Manager at Giants http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2007/11/136_14417.html

Jerry Royster

     The Lotte Giants said Monday it hired former Milwaukee Brewers skipper Jerry Royster as its new manager. The 55-year-old Sacramento native, who had a 16-year Major League Baseball (MLB) career before retiring at the end of the 1988 season, becomes the first-ever foreign manager in Korean professional baseball. Royster, who spent most of his well-traveled career as a third baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, San Diego Padres, Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees, was hired as an interim manager for the Brewers in 2002 after Davey Lopes was sacked. However, after a disappointing 53-94 stint, Royster was fired. His last managing job was with the Dodgers' triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas, where he went 124-163 between 2005 and 2006. Royster, who succeeds Kang Byung-cheol, inherits a team full of talented but underachieving players who conspired for a disappointing seventh placed finish in 2007. The starting rotation spearheaded by Son Min-han and Song Seung-joon is as solid as any in the league and All-Stars Lee Dae-ho, Jung Soo-keun and the underrated Kang Min-ho are good foundations for a solid lineup. Perhaps, Royster could use his expertise of American baseball to help the team recruit better foreign players. The team needs to add a power bat in the lineup to offer protection for Lee and Kang, while also explore replacing erratic closer Jose Cabrera who was responsible for a massive amount of shredded fingernails this year. Royster hit .248 with 40 homeruns and 352 RBIs during 1,428 games in the majors.

1. How many foreign leaders do you know in Korean organizations or companies?
2. What do you can be a advantages or disadvantages of having a foreign boss? what's about foreign colleages?
3. Guus Hiddink proved that how import!ant to have a good leader no matter what his nationality is. Do you think do we need more foreign leaders to change our society? And what field do you think we need them the most? at school, company or in politics?
4. Do you think the Korean society is open enough to accept foreigners as its members? Have you ever seen as case of it?
