Let's redraw the map. -Cho Dong Il.

 While giving a lecture to teachers in Jeju Island, he said that the map on the classroom wall was wrong and ruined education. Let's look at the future of Korea. Jeju Island is said to be a remote border. In order to reduce the area of the map, Jeju Island is not placed in place, and gold is drawn in one corner to be confined. Block all sides, preventing them from going outside. He said, "It's a big mistake to have students grow up looking at such maps, so we need to correct them right away." Let's redraw the map. Let's draw a circular map, not a square, with Jeju Island at the center. Let's draw a circle around the length of all of Korea to the north and make a map that goes into a considerable part of Japan and a part of China. Let's make a concentric circle of distant and near distances. It is possible to widen the radius and draw most of Asia and half of the world. In Busan and Daegu, draw a concentric map centered on your hometown in the same way and hang it in the classroom, so that students can think of new things day by day.The two maps differ in principle. The future of the Republic of Korea says that the country is great alone, and ignores local governments and the world. That was the ideology of an era. The redrawn map of the concentric circle tells us that regions, countries, and the world are precious together. It is said that the road from one's hometown to the world beyond the boundaries of the country is open in all directions. This is an indicator of a new era. It can most clearly indicate on the map that ideology is modified and indicators change.It is not to say that the two are reasonable. The earth is round and has no center. I'm at the center of my life. You have to throw away the square map and draw a circular map to get closer to reality. It is wrong to think that one's own province is biased toward one side. It is necessary to correct the mindset that in order to expand the stage of activities, we must advance to Seoul and go outside. Redrawing a map does not change the world. It is not unknown that there are numerous restrictions on trying to keep the provinces tied to Seoul. I admit that what I have said so far is an idealism that is difficult to implement immediately. That's why education should be changed first. We must develop our ideals by looking at the map drawn again by the next generation to create a different future. Not only elementary and secondary education but also university education should change. The university's mission is to conduct and educate the research necessary to design and construct the future desirably. The theory and knowledge that corrects the conservatism of department education in the existing framework should be manufactured in a separate laboratory, and a new form of integrated and open interdisciplinary system should be prepared and distributed.  There are many research institutes in universities in Daegu and Busan, but they are not famous. There was no long-term plan and no manpower to study. We must admit our mistakes and try to change course. Efforts should be made to examine the past, present, and future of the relationship patterns of local, national, and world. It is necessary to gather necessary talents and conduct in-depth research to publicize the results obtained.         In modern times, before the state took an absolute position, the region was important, and the homogeneity of civilizations beyond the state was of great significance. The current situation is that European countries, which led the process of creating a modern state, are returning to the direction of progress and re-integrating civilizations and reviving the significance of local governments. We need to find the direction we should go by comparing its history with that of Asia. In East Asia or other countries in wider Asia, it is desirable to visit Daegu or Busan and conduct joint research with their universities.While grasping new trends in Europe, attention should be paid to cooperation between regions. Baden Wurtemberg in Germany, Cataronia in Spain, Lombardy in Italy, and Ronne-Alps in France contribute actively to creating a new Europe by local governments' own judgment. Stuttgart, Barcelona, Milan, and Lyon, the central cities of the four provinces, develop the economy and culture while making good-faith competition successful with Berlin, Madrid, Rome, and Paris, the capitals of each country. Let's clarify the indicators of the era of localization. Let us develop our own home, diversify our nation's capabilities, and inherit the legacy of civilization, and make mankind happier. A small task of drawing a concentric circle map that focuses on my hometown and moves far away is the starting point of a huge transition.     Professor Cho Dong Il whom I respect.
