Who made your brain do it?
``Did Your Brain Make You Do It?” That was the title of a New York Times op-ed column on July 27 written by John Monterosso, associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Southern California, and Barry Schwartz, professor of psychology at Swarthmore College.

Real name of comfort women
July 30, 2012 will mark the 5th anniversary of the passage of H.R. 121, a non-binding resolution passed by the House of Representatives in the U.S. Congress that urges the Japanese government to acknowledge and apologize to former ``comfort women” for the crimes that were committed against them.

Bitter aftertaste of democracy
In TIME Magazine’s July 2nd article, ``Why South Korea Is in an Uproar over Intelligence Sharing with Japan,” Bill Powell begins the story with an insightful observation: ``On its face, the idea seems rational enough: two allies and regional neighbors, both prosperous democracies with key foreign policy interests in common, resolve to share military intelligence, something that they perhaps should have been doing for some time now.

Breasts, skulls and babies
I came home from work recently and encountered my wife, ashen-faced and seemingly in shock. ``What’s wrong?” I asked urgently, thinking that something might have happened to our 7-month-old son.

If Obama meets Kim Jong-un
Just imagine that the unthinkable has happened. The U.S. and North Korea somehow worked through their Gordian Knot and settled on an agreement that their respective leaders will formalize with a summit.

Korea's 'invisible' gays
Whether you agree with him or not, President Barack Obama’s recent pronouncement supporting gay marriage was certainly a courageous one. Critics may argue that it was cynical political calculation that drove him, but that doesn’t discount the fact that he took a solid stance on an issue that he didn’t need to. You don’t have to be a prophet to see that this issue will be a huge wedge in the upcoming presidential election in November. But it wasn’t the election that sprung to mind when I first read about this. It was summer camps.

No hoopla for Sharon
Sharon’s my boss. Has been for the last five years. In fact, she’s the only boss I’ve known in my current job. And she’s retiring next week. Well, actually, she’s supposed to have retired already a few months ago with the New Year. But her bosses convinced her to stay on for a few more weeks to help with the reorganization effort that our work unit was going through. Help settle the team, so to speak.

Jasmine Revolution, Korean style
Korea has come of age, of sorts. Jasmine Lee, a naturalized Korean citizen originally from the Philippines, became the first foreign-born lawmaker. Granted, she didn’t run for a seat herself, but became a member of the National Assembly as a proportional representation candidate when the Saenuri Party won a majority in the recent parliamentary elections.

Jewish way to raise a genius
Growing up in Korea, I remember a book that my mother used to read religiously. It was a thick tome called, ``The Jewish Way to Raise a Genius.”
