Korean students have a lot of pressure coming from their studying, which is decided by their competitive society that has a strong emphasis on academic achievements. Although education brings pressure to students, it also provides them with more knowledge and greatly shapes students’ perceptions of the world. Korean students can learn more about democracy from their textbooks as well as utilize the professional knowledge they have learnt at schools to protect civics, revise policies and improve their society. For example, they learn about what people have done for the mad cow protest in the past from their history class and then gain their own understanding of the history to better improve the future protests. In this episode, Samcheonpo, as one of the few university students in his city, is expected by others to be acquainted with more knowledge so that he should be the best man for negotiation with government officials. Since students have more exposure to academic resources and have more opportunities to resolve practical questions of society using their knowledge gained at schools, it is easier for them to express their opinions wisely than those who don’t have that much knowledge in the protests.
