As the demands of individuals are varied, there are often cases of actions happening solely for the profit of a single individual. Also, individual selfishness can appear in groups as well. This happens when people pursue only their own benefits. It is called mass selfishness or regional selfishness, or NIMBY and PIMFY.
NIMBY(Not In My Back Yard) refers to opposing facilities that either pollute the environment or are distasteful, and PIMFY(Please In My Front Yard) refers to attracting beneficial facilities for one's own region. These social problems commonly arise in foreign countries as well, but in our case regional selfishness has been surging with the advent of regional autonomy. Some people oppose building garbage landfills and others protest establishing schools for the handicapped. On the other hand, the PIMFY phenomenon occurs when community residents promote facilities that benefit the community or their region. These are good examples of mass selfishness.
In order to work out a compromise, the authorities seek to turn distasteful facilities into areas enjoyed by the residents. Actually, some regional governments have created resident relaxation areas such as nature study centers and environmental parks with distasteful facilities, and have harvested lots of unpolluted foods. These are good examples of how to avoid the NIMBY phenomena.
Here's a method that became commonplace a long time ago in foreign countries such as Japan. One example is building distasteful public facilities underground, such as garbage recycling centers and centers for changing food waste into animal feed. In 1999, a district in Seoul created the first underground recycling center in Korea. As a consequence, it was aesthetically pleasing as the garbage previously on the ground disappeared, and the streets become cleaner with less noise and bad smells. Most of all, fewer social problems arose as tension with the residents was reduced.
In Danyang-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, five villages applied to attract a garbage landfill that the county was proposing to build. This was a great surprise. The conditions the villages desired were normal things such as paving the streets, constructing better sewage disposal systems, and establishing welfare facilities. There must have been a great change in the way that the residents thought.
In 1998, the city of Miryang surprised many people, when the city dwellers competed strongly to attract a garbage landfill to their district. Such a landfill had been previously avoided as a distasteful facility. Twenty-five towns applied for this open competition. This was because the finances of many regional governments were in trouble after the IMF crisis of 1997 in Korea. Moreover, it was also because they were offered exceptionally good compensations on regional development. This kind of open application would be a good example to other regional governments that are facing problems with the NIMBY phenomena.
Along with these alternatives, however, what we all should realize is that we cannot live without such facilities, and that these facilities must exist somewhere. We should realize the simple fact that if it is not in one's backyard, then it has to be in someone else's. We should always keep in mind the old saying that we cannot have our cake and eat it, too. Wouldn't it be better not to simply disagree but to accept the decisions from fair procedures? It is high time we learned how to negotiate with our counterparts on many controversial issues and come up with compromises.

Lesson 7
Can Arts Cure Us?
1) Curing Disease through Music?
Perhaps almost everyone has an experience of having felt better after listening to good music or singing joyfully. This effect of music is being widely acknowledged and a variety of music is being recommended for stabilizing the psychological states of people. For instance, music such as Spring from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons seems to relieve fatigue, while Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks appears to lessen anxiety. Furthermore, there has been research indicating that listening to music is a very effective way of curing many types of illnesses.
Music therapy is literally therapy through music. Many people believe that merely listening to music serves as the main form of music therapy. However, music therapy means not only listening passively to music but also getting actively involved in such activities as singing, playing instruments, and writing songs. Music not only affects the physiological aspects of people such as blood pressure, heartbeat, and brain waves, but also improves the immune system of cancer patients.
Music has been proven to have a very positive effect on emotionally handicapped children. According to a music therapist, a second grader in elementary school started music therapy in 1994. At the time he started, he couldn't manage even very short eye contact with his mother, much less with his teacher. His restlessness prevented him from settling down in class. He has received music therapy twice a week for three years and as a result, he is settling in well both in school and at home. This music therapy has enabled him to pursue new fields of study which he was not able to attempt before.
Music therapy contributes significantly to curing those who suffer from mental disorders, as well as treating emotionally handicapped children. Music therapy is being conducted in many other areas of life. Examples include rehabilitating the physically disabled, relieving patients of their pain, soothing ordinary people's emotions and stress, and much more. Many have been experiencing such contributions from music therapy.
2) My Son Recovered from His Illness by Drawing and Painting
"My six-year-old son used to be very restless. He had trouble settling down in his playroom and at kindergarten. His impatience kept him from getting along with other kids. Since he received art therapy, however, there has been a significant improvement in the range of his vocabulary. His constant restlessness has also been reduced a lot. Art therapy has made it possible for him to be patient enough to wait for his turn in everything," said his mother.
Art therapy is no more simply passive than music therapy is. Art activities include completely freestyle drawing and creating some works of art using ordinary objects like threads, clay, even tree leaves, and the like. All such art activities contribute to emotional composure, mental development, and the ability to express oneself.
Art therapy is also used to diagnose a child's psychological state from the pictures drawn by the child and the information is consequently used to treat the child. For instance, the Institute of Human Development and Child Education states that when a child acts abnormally, one can analyze the child's psychological state through pictures. Hence, art therapy is used for curing emotional instability, testing personality, diagnosing psychological problems in people of all ages, and so forth.

Lesson 8
Sharing and Caring
1) Rockefeller was a famous American oil tycoon. He was born in a house stricken with poverty in 1839. Soon after finishing elementary school, he focused all his attention on earning money. In other words, he was determined to be a millionaire. His perseverance paid off and by the age of 33, he became a millionaire. When he was 43 years old, he owned the biggest company in the world. At the age of 54, he found himself a billionaire, the richest man in the world.
However, he met with the most unexpected misfortune of his life. He got a terminal illness. The illness was such that it made him lose all his hair and eyebrows, and his body started degenerating more and more. Worse still, he also suffered immensely from severe insomnia at night. His doctor predicted that he would be lucky to live more than a year.
As he continued to suffer from insomnia night after night, for the first time in his life he came to reflect on the fifty-four years he had lived. Through his reflection, he came to realize that all his hard-earned money should never be his real goal in life.
Ever since discovering the true meaning of life through his terminal illness, Rockefeller's way of living took a completely new turn. He started to use his possessions for the good of society and he gained pleasure from such acts. Rockefeller spent his immense fortune in establishing the Rockefeller Foundation, which helped people in poverty. Amidst all this, a miracle happened. The insomnia he suffered from became completely cured and what was even more incredible was that he regained his health. The man who was diagnosed to live merely a year lived to the age of 98.
When faced with the prospect of dying at the age of 98, Rockefeller admitted that "it would be a shame to die a millionaire." He therefore donated 6 billion dollars to society. He left the following will before he died: "When I die, place my body in a special coffin that will expose my empty hands. I want to let people know that we cannot take anything from this world once we die." Many people were impressed by his will. Had it not been for his great donations, our modern culture of sharing and caring would not be the same as it is today.
Those who have become the slaves of materialism are easily led to believe that money can do anything for them and they act in accordance with this belief. They do not know that money has worth only when spent meaningfully.
2) Sharing is not just about giving when things are in abundance but rather, it is about giving even when things are scarce. Sharing is a simple act of pleasure that comes from giving itself. Hence those who love giving are spiritually and physically healthy. Is such happiness of sharing common in Korea? Unfortunately, that's not the case. It is rather sad that such a charitable culture has not yet flourished in Korea despite the nation being a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and its Gross National Product (GNP) being the 13th in the world.
According to one survey, Korea's annual charitable donations in 2000 totaled as much as 260 billion won. However, the average annual donation made per person was merely 5,800 won. Also, 70% of the donated amount came from companies during the Charity for the Poor Program held at the end of the year. In the US, the total amount of donations given to charities was about 190 billion dollars in 2000, hence, an average of 717 dollars per person. One out of five American people participate in voluntary work for an average of 2.2 hours per month.
Our society has launched a new experiment in the hope of encouraging charitable donations. The institution responsible for this is the Beautiful Foundation, established at the end of 1999. The Beautiful Foundation aims not only to help the socially deprived but also to support public interest such as the civilian campaign. Everyone of us is expected to participate actively in this sharing movement in order to bring about a culture of charity and voluntary work.
