Korean people, you all are very good at protesting. It's almost like a professionalization of protests. I don't

think I've ever encountered a nation that enjoyed protesting more than the Republic of Korea. Holding those people

accountable, um, that we have influence on, that we elect, um, is something that I think we really do have power on if we

all organize together. We are the ones that really need to step in and make sure that whatever the result of the

election might be, it is [Music] respected. We've lost control over our values. We in Korea no longer value the

things that we used to value. We're losing this sense of community. Students and young people today no longer

respect their elders, no longer respect their teachers, no longer respect their communities in the way they used to

do. Really okay. All right, I get that. I see something happening. Step outside of your culture; look at what it's like in many

other places. I'll talk to you about not respecting... it's a very different world when you see a life, a culture, a people from the

lens of other cultures and peoples and nations and I think, wow, this is really a fascinating thing how people...

I couldn't tell what was really going on. It's too coordinated; it's like a dance. I couldn't figure it out. People sat down

and then they stand up and they hold the sign and they take the sign down. Very different culture. So I listen to Koreans say, oh,

but we have these problems because we have all these protests, and I say, no, no, no, hang on, these people are

angry. This is a protest; it's a very different thing. Let's get through this; let's make it

happen. Okay, I think I want to hear what these students who are volunteering today have to say. All right, so can I can

We'll bring...can the three volunteers come up? Actually, bring your phones with you. So here's what's up: this is the title of

the class: "My Truth." Okay, y'all, "My Truth." All right, go to the next slide. And this is a question; this is a starting

question you all are going to get asked. All right, so what I want you to do is...be...I don't want you to...I want you

to come up with your answer before you hear other people's answers. Okay, so what if you could go through the door over

there, take your phone so you can take notes and write out just basically...sketch a few bullet points about what

how you would answer that question? Okay, we good? So you can just go hang out in the hallway. Okay, I'm going to tell you what my truth

is right now, at this stage. Like, it...it changes all the time. But before I even finish telling you what my truth is, my

truth will change. But you're going to get what it is when I first start talking. Okay. Uh, and that is that there

are no clear answers to anything, and Truth is always somewhere in between polar opposites. It always is. Doesn't matter so...

we see that it's part of life. And the only reason it stopped is because we stepped in—the government stepped in—

really at the demand of the people and said, "Hey, we're going to pass these laws and we're going to make this really

impossible or illegal for these discriminatory actions to take place against these people." So we passed laws,

and then sometimes those didn't work really well, and we passed more laws. And so there's always a tendency to try to

fix problems in the world by passing laws and making rules and to regulate people's behavior. But the problem is you

can only regulate people's behavior so much because every law is, and every rule and every procedure that people have to

Following it's just onerous to them; it's just stuff that gets in the way of people doing the best they can

and living the best way they can and just taking responsibility for themselves. So you have this thing going

on: Do you have to have regulation? You have to have regulation, okay? But you can't have too much regulation because

if you have too much regulation, then everybody's just walking around being like robots and trying to follow

these rules, and you curtail innovation and you curtail people's behavior. And this is, of course, what's on the table

right now for the next four years because the current administration is saying, 'Look, we have far too many

regulations, and we need to cut back on these regulations.' They just see regulations in other places, so this is

what government is, and this is why people say we want as small a government as we can possibly have in order

to deregulate, to not have too many rules that are guiding our behaviors, to allow us as individuals to live the

best lives we can possibly live and be happy and be free and take responsibility for ourselves. So you

don't want lots and lots of regulation. Is that cool? Does that make sense? All you business people, you get this, right?

Because you're—this is—you talk about this in your business classes, but sociology people and everybody else

should think about it as well. Okay, so for example, we could regulate all sorts of things about race and inequality, and

we've tried to do that, and you know, people push back against some of it because they say, 'Wait, hang on, that

doesn't make sense. What are you—what are you doing? You're telling people they have to—they have to act in certain ways.'

You're demanding that they do all right, so here, let me go to the next slide. But you've got a problem, right? You've got two things

that are happening: you regulate people, and you've got all these rules, and they say, "Why do we have to do it this way? Like, what's

the point of that? Because you told us we have to do this, and so we have to do it

this way." On the other side, we have, "Wait, why isn't that regulated? Like, why are people allowed to get away

with that? Like, I was on an airplane a week and a half ago, and they just changed my seat. I bought

the seat to sit in this seat right here, and I get to the desk, and the air-

the airline says, "Ah, you're no longer in that seat; we changed you to another seat." I'm like, "How is that possible? How are

you doing that? Like, you can't do that." And they're like, "Well, we can do that." So then we say the airline shouldn't be

allowed to do that, or they leave us sitting on the tarmac for five hours, and you

start demanding the airline shouldn't let people force people to sit on a plane for five hours. Like, how is that

legal? How is that possible? Well, it's possible because there's no rule against them doing that. Or they now—we just

passed the rule—but it's possible they can change my seat because they can. And so then people demand regulations. How is

it possible that UnitedHealthcare, the healthcare company that the CEO of which just got assassinated—how can

somebody need an operation, and their doctors say they need an operation, and they have insurance to pay for that operation, and all the paperwork

is submitted to the insurance company, and the insurance company looks at the paperwork and says, "Denied"? And then you say, "Damn, that should

Be illegal; that's what regulations are. That's why we have regulations; that's why we have them. You see, that's the point.

You can't live without regulations, but also you can't live with too many regulations. You see that? So you

got both things. It's like, oh yeah, if we don't have regulations, people will just run wild. You've got to

have some regulations. So here, oh, but wait a minute, but that's a lot of regulation, so then you're over here and

you say, ah yeah, you need some regulation, but you don't need too much of it. Have as little as you possibly can. You see

how that is the balance? Everything is about balance. Everything is about balance. You've got to have a little bit of gun control,

my friends, because if you didn't have a little bit of gun control, some of you all would be walking into this room with

loaded AR-15s all across your back because you just would be, because you just would want to do

that. And so we pass a regulation that says, "Nah, you're not going to bring AR-15s into 100 Thomas." And you know what?

You're going to bring AR-15s into 100 Thomas, and one of you knuckleheads is

going to drop the gun, and you're not going to have the safety on, and it's going to go

off because one of you is going to be a knucklehead and do that. And so we're

going to have a regulation, and that's how we go. But now, now, well, regulation, but how much regulation do we

need? Do we need? How much? Where do we stop? You see, this is the point. Understand who you are; you're not in

order to understand who you are. Well, I say the same thing to Americans, and one of the things, reasons I talk about

Korea is because in places like Korea, so it's not, you know, everything is a little bit different, but I talk about Korea is

because I want to show other people it's like, hey, what you see as reality isn't the only reality in the world. Look at this

country of 51 million people over here. Look what they're managing to do. So then, what are the values of Korea? What are

the characteristics of Korea? What do you live with that you don't even know? You know, fish are the last species to

understand what water is. Fish do not know what water is; they live in water, they don't see it, they don't feel

it; it means nothing to them. That's how culture is; that's how our values are for all of us. So here would be a a

quote: a someone in your culture might say, "I need to improve this issue or this thing, whatever it is, so that I can be a

contributing member of my groups and my communities." Like, "I need to improve this so that I can contribute to my people and

my community." So I got to fix this. That you need to take ownership of this problem. Now, you are going to blame lots

of people; you're going to blame the government, you're going to blame this, you're going to blame that, but you are always going to also

blame yourselves. Or, "What can I do to help make this problem no longer be a problem?" That's just built into thinking,

characteristics and values. "What can I do to help make this problem no longer be a problem? What can I

do? Because the problem, it's not just somebody else's; it's it's me." This is a

community here. You know, and see, you're lucky that you're a relatively small nation; you're a homogeneous nation; you

know, you are all Koreans here. There's one language, fundamentally. I mean, now increasingly there are many different

languages that are spoken, but fundamentally, you're lucky that you're living among people who have ancestors

from the Korean Peninsula, this peninsula that is surrounded by water on three sides. Uh, Marcus, come on up, man. Um, first

off, introduce yourself, man. I'm Marcus. Um, I'm from South Korea and I'm a data science major. That you know, I'm going to

disagree with and tell you why you're wrong, but um, you choose your own destiny. What's that? You choose your own destiny?

You choose your own destiny. Yeah, yeah. How, how so, man? Um, no one is to blame for anything that happens to you in life

except you. Okay, so now you know I'm going to disagree with you on that. What do you

think I'm gonna say? Um, I feel like you're going to say there's a lot of people

um, that you'll meet, and you are not the only factor that determines everything that happens to you in life. Yeah, dude.

Even you. How, what are you doing here? How'd you get here from Korea? What are you doing here? Um, so my parents don't like the

Korean education system. Yeah, where like everyone's like studying, they don't work out, um, they lack social skills like in
