| A local resident runs away from a forest fire that engulfed one of the houses in Ulju County of Ulsan, Sunday. (Yonhap News) Summary: On March 10 in 2013, a very big forest fire occurred in southeastern coastal city of Pohang. It cause 1 victim and 14 injured. Also it destroyed 5 hectares of the mountain and 53 houses. Most of the injured and damaged people are poor and since it is not a retention area, government has no way to pay for them. The only way for them to be paid is from the person who cause the mountain fire. Unfortunately, police however found out that a 12-year-old middle school student started a fire in the forest. Those who lost their homelands are currently staying in community center without any promise their houses be recovered. Opinion: Teenagers today in Korea do a lot of mischievous things frequently. We can hear a lot of news of teenagers killing their parents, stealing other's cars, heating their friends, and whatever. And for this time, a 12-year-old middle school student setting the forest fire. It could be treated as a little thing if they played with the fire only in their houses. However, they unexpectedly set a big fire and caused millions of dollars of damage. Since all of the problems first occur from the individual family. The parents should teach them which one is permitted and allowable, and which one is not. Also the law should punish him harshly so that no other teenagers would commit a same thing ever again. This is related to both macroeconomics and microeconomics, since the government and individuals should find the best solution for compensation for loss. |
I saw this News and I was so surprised that teenagers of Korea doesn't have the basic knowledge of what they should do and not to. I heard that she was released because she was not the age to be punished. It is really sad.

답글삭제Today's teenagers are just so.......I don't know....
not sensible? hmmm..
Who will pay for all the economic costs?
These days, teenagers frequently do unexpected things. Parents need to teach or punish them not to do it again.
답글삭제I think that a teenager who caused a huge fire on mountain should pay compensation because most citizen would not allow the government to use their taxes for helping that teenager.
답글삭제How stupid... Financial loss due to the fire would be extremely large. It is a problem who will pay for the loss since it would be too big for individual to recompense.
답글삭제Those teenagers should be punished for their crimes. They need to learn to respect other people's properties.
답글삭제THe property of other people damaged. How it shall be criminalized?
답글삭제I agree with your opinion and it is a nice summary
