[Week8] MBC reporters protest against biased programming




 On Friday, reporters in MBC suddenly stopped working after Lunar New Year holiday. The reason that they are doing is because they don't agree with the buased programing in MBC and they are protesting to stop it.

 Many people felt disapointement because of MBC news was not showing or telling public critical and emotional news and showing biased news to particular issues.

 Over 80 percent of the workiers in MBC agreed in stopping their work .After th decision that have bee chosen, 137 out of 149 reporters participated in the protest and they will stop working starting form the Wendsday and this is the first thime after April 2009 that workers refuse to work.

  I think that stooping work because of their own thoghts is not a good thing to do as a job owner and they need to have responsibility for their job. Even they don't like MBC and they think that MBC is too biased, they need to work. MBC was their workplace and they provided money for them while they were working
 in there. I wish that there should be no more protesting and refusing work of workers in eash companies.

[Week7] Nonsensical death because of noodles

 Lee had a very sudden and noonsensical death because of a cup nooddle on Sunday. People say that he was at work with other workers and was hungry so he wanted to have a mid-morning snack. While making the cup noodle, he poured antifreeze in to the sup noodles.

 Other workers say that the antifreeze was for their water to not freeze over night and it looked similar like water, thats why they didn't realize that they were not using water for cooking.  Lee ate the whole noodle but the other members didn't liked the unusual smell that doesn't come out from original cup noodles so they diddn't eat them all. And after eatind the noodle a little they got bad stomachache and went to the hospital.

 I was very shocked after seeing this news. I didn't know that people can actually die while eating cup noodles. I don't know how the antifreeze is dangerous so I don't know how hw died but I felt that I should be very careful while eating cup noodles because I saw a similar accident like this. A girl drinking agriculture pesticides thinking it as Sprite. I try to be careful after that but I should be more careful than before.
