Problem & Advice

Letter
Dear Michelle
Hi, I'm a 21-year-old girl. I am dating someone, and we love each other very much. But one day, one of my best friends, whom I've known for ten years, told me that she loves him. Even though my boyfriend did not want her to love him and had even told her not to love him, she still says that she loves him. What should I do?

Advice
Dear anonymous girl who has a betrayer-friend.
You must have been very annoyed. If your friend continues to say that she would love your boyfriend, you and your friend will be in big trouble. You may even fight and hit each other. There is also a possibility that you will make a rumor about her bad behavior. To not to make big arguments, you have to talk to her firmly about the situation. Tell her that you and your boyfriend love each other very much. Or you can also introduce a handsome guy to her. I am quite sure that you do not want to break up with him only because of her. It is not the wisest way.

Chapter 1 Thinking Outside the Box

The person who influenced on me is my friend.
For 3 years, we are in same class in high school.
At first time, I liked her, because she was good at dancing and had
an outgoing personality.
We walked around and enjoyed looking anything together.
But knowing her by and by, she wasn't suitable with me.
She frantically played playing. Anyway She and I had nothing in common with each other.
Time flies, I hated her. She also hated me.
No fight, but we hated each other.
She was poor at studying at first time, and also she only liked
playing and dancing. I didn't mean to, but she thought that
I ingnored her. She is firmly determined to study hard and then
do well more than me. I sneered at her speech and thought 'you can't do it!!!'
But last year in Scholastic Assessment Test, She took good grade
and I failed the test. Finally She entered Ewha Women university.
I was not accept any school so I had to restudy.
When she was studying, she became fat. But entering university,
she had on a diet and then joined the cheer leader group what I wanted to join.
So when I look at her picture on website or hearing her movements,
I studied very very hard.
I thought we were a rival. When I was a highschool student
I hated her very much, but I thanked her now.
Thanks to her, I could study hard and then was admitted into Sookmyung University.
And now, I will have on a diet and be well more than her.

Discussion questions

1. What impact do you think Aung San Suu Kyi's religious beliefs have had on her life?
She is Buddhist. Because she was born in Berma which is country of Buddhism. So her daily life and Buddhism were connected. Buddhism emphasizes mercy, non-violence, peace and patience. For example she used Nobel Peace Prize money to establish a health and education trust for Bermese people and she didn't give up struggle for democratization of Berma.

2. What role do you think her parents played in her life?
For one thing, her father was a prominent Burmese diplomat who negotiated Burma's independence from the United Kingdom. He was a hero of Burma's independence. Although he died young, when she was only 2 years old. Her curiosity about her father never faded. She was given character by her father. That character was burning for patriotism.
Second, Her father named his only daughter after himself. Aung San means "Victory". According to her father's belief, she also could gain democratization like her father. And to add softness and balance, he drew from his wife's name, Kyi. With Suu Kyi's softness, Suu Kyi took care of her ailing mother.

3. What kind of person do you think she is? Describe her personality and her priorities.
I　think she is passionate. She has more patriotism than other people. In Burma, 1988, new military junta took power and Ne win persisted socialism. Suu Kyi, as a woman, she protested Ne win's socialism and insisted democratization. Finally, she founded National League for Democracy and have freedom from Ne win's.
The other side, I think she is miserable in homely side. She had husband and two sons, but she could not see her husband until 1997, because if she left the country to visit her family, she would be denied owing to her democratization movement. She could not be there when her husband died. Also, she remains separate from their children till now.

4. What do you think about her current separation from her son?
It's an unreasonable situation for her and her sons. She was in London to study Oriental and African Studies. She returned to Berma to care for her ailing mother and started demonstration for democratization. Bermese goverment supperessed the demonstration strongly, so she couldn't go back to her sons who remained in the United Kingdom. In other words, they were deprived of their right to live together with family.

5. Do you think she should have won the Nobel Peace Prize?
I think she have qualification for Noble Peace Prize. Berma is a thorough socialist state, so Bermese could not think about freedom or struggle for democratic society. But because of her brave, continuing demonstrarion for democratization, Bermese could cherish a hope of democratic sociaty. She played an important role in democratization of Berma.

6. Aung San Suu Kyi said in her speech that "'fear,and not power, is the cause of corruption. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
I agree this statement 'fear,and not power, is the cause of corruption'. If she has fear, when she attempts to something, she can not step forward surely. For example, military junta had power, but that's mean fear. Although they recieved much help to repress counterforce from outside, the result wasn't good. Whereas, her power is clear and stubborn, so she can fight for democratization and freedom. Finally, she have a victory.

7. What might her daily life be like?
She lives in Myanmar now. Myanmar is still a country of the non- democratization and out of date. In the country, anything can't be done, for example, making a film, taking a photograph and doing the internet and so on. Maybe she would spend time without connecting other people. In addition to, as she remains separate from her children till now, she's very lonely. In the
country without freedom, she'll be still eager to democratization.
