Decent Essays
It is easy to believe that conscience is the most powerful thing that encourages people to behave. In fact, some people live their whole lives without ever doubting misconducts due to money or private profit. However, I see things differently.

    When it comes to the Namhee Lee’s article, it is hard not to dismiss the undongkwon activists as communist sympathizers. Regarding their main goal, do they want to bring democracy or communism to South Korea? After reading the article, this response argues that their true motive involves spreading communism in South Korea.
