Before you are a university student, in other words, when you were waiting to enter SMU, you would hear the words from the adults, “According to how you spend your four years in university, your life will be really different even though you enter the same university and take the same classes from others.” To accept their advice well, the first attitude you should have is an extroverted personality. Most activities in the university are group work. For example, to be a member of any clubs and to go well, you should show your extroverted personality. You should shout the FM* loudly and never sneak away from drinks. Of course, this situation also appears when you are studying. In any classes there must be a group presentation, though so many students are complaining about it. And it’s not only in the university, but in the workplaces.

Have you ever heard about Myvlar or Mercilon Tablets? How about NorLevo or Firstrel? The former are the names of contraceptives (birth control pills) and the latter that of postcoital contraception (morning after pill). Until now, consumers can buy contraceptives in pharmacies without any prescription, but they should get a doctor’s prescription to buy postcoital contraceptives. However, the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) announced the new guideline on the 6th of June, this year. According to this new plan, before the end of 2012, the law will be switched so that contraceptives will become prescription drugs and emergency contraceptives will become over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. The fact that morning after pills doesn’t have certain side effects, according to KFDA, and that many pharmaceutical advanced countries put them on OTC drugs served as the main background reasons to adopt this plan. At the same time, the decision that long term use of the birth control pills has a possibility to affect the female hormone contributed to the new plan, too. On this matter, the Korean Pharmaceutical and Medical Association, churches, civic groups, and consumers display a conflict of opinions. Now let’s hear the Sookmyungians’ voices about this hot controversial topic.
