On the internet safety, I found, there is a difference between South Korea and The United States. My country, South Korea, strongly filters and blocks the violated and sexual website to protect children. For some website, they have to type in their identification to access as adult. However, in America, there is no limitation to search or to access to these materials that I mentioned; which means everyone, including children, can easily find these materials. It was shocked for me, and I asked own-myself “Is this country just pursuing freedom without thinking about the effect to a child?”
Children learn better and faster than adults. Why? They do not have basic knowledge about what they are trying to learn. That means that they just get it purely without analyzing that this is right or wrong. By developing the internet, it is easier to get information. Therefore, children are easily searching on internet whatever they want. On the internet, children are going to believe and trust everything from sexual issue to political issue without filtering the information is right or wrong.
By increasing the usage of the internet, the internet is becoming important thing in the future; so, we cannot prevent that children use the internet. Even, we sometimes have to teach them how to use it. The point that we need is that we have to start appropriate education and protection for our children. Recently, there are many programs to protect children from the illegal stuff. However, in my opinion, it is not enough to protect our children from them. We need a specific government action like my country doing.
I believe that children are the most important asset for our brilliant future. Although we get a little inconvenient due to the protection of children on internet, we have to dedicate our interruption on this.
