“…Yet as a discourse has emerged that has perceived 'iljin' as being more like 'cruel, cold-blooded gangsters,' and as 'rampant' school violence was elevated to a 'social evil,' then the previous and current governments have sought punishment, protective, deterrent, security and school-centric policies in their attempts to hurriedly 'eradicate' violence from schools. Since such policies are not centred on addressing the developmental handicaps facing juvenile delinquents -unlike several bullying intervention programs that have targeted parenting behaviours and practices (Hong et al, 2014) -then we may ask how such perceptions-and-policies will successfully address the 'deep roots' of bullying-and-violence in South Korean schools?…”

“…When introducing research on bullying it is customary, almost standard, for academic papers to firstly state bullying is a serious and 'pervasive' social problem throughout the world (Hong, Lee, Lee, Lee, & Garbarino, 2014), then to explain how prevalent it is and thereafter to briefly highlight the commonly observed effects and consequences suffered by people like Seung-min (Juvonen, Graham & Schuster, 2003). When we observe the prevalence and outcomes of bullying we discover that prevalence rates vary widely (see below), while the outcomes show wide yet more consistent variance.…”

“…While, at the social level, researchers have developed and implemented various school violence prevention and intervention programs (Hong et al, 2014), President Park subsequently promised, at the political level, to strengthen public security. Punitive-leaning and security-centric measures included proposals to:…”

At the end of 2011 a bully-suicide case set off a wave of public and political concern for and increased sensitivity toward bullying-and-violence in South Korean schools. Following yet another high-profile bully-suicide case in 2013 the issue of school violence was designated a 'social evil,' with punitive-leaning and security-centric measures quickly implemented to try and 'eradicate' bullying-and-violence from South Korean society. During this period a particular discourse emerged -seemingly supported by survey data -claiming violence in schools in recent years has: a) become more pervasive, b) is occurring earlier and, c) like 'gangsters,' violent students are becoming more 'organized.' This paper critically analyzes this discourse by offering a 'history of the present' of school violence in South Korea from the 1950s until the present. Historical, empirical, developmental and international data are used to more accurately situate student-initiated violence, and, at the same time, to call in to question the current perceptions of juvenile delinquency and of juvenile justice.

Background:Massage therapists are at times unclear about the definition of massage therapy, which creates challenges for the profession. It is important to investigate the current definitions and to consider the field as a whole in order to move toward clarity on what constitutes the constructs within the profession.Purpose: To determine how a sample of experts understand and describe the field of massage therapy as a step toward clarifying definitions for massage and massage therapy, and framing the process of massage therapy practice.Setting: A two-day symposium held in 2010 with the purpose of gathering knowledge to inform and aid in the creation of massage therapy best practice guidelines for stress and low back pain.Participants: Thirty-two experts in the field of massage therapy from the United States, Europe, and Canada.Design: Qualitative analysis of secondary crosssectional data using a grounded theory approach.Results: Three over-arching themes were identified: 1) What is massage?; 2) The multidimensional nature of massage therapy; and 3) The influencing factors on massage therapy practice.Discussion: The data offered clarifying definitions for massage and massage therapy, as well as a framework for the context for massage therapy practice. These clarifications can serve as initial steps toward the ultimate goal of creating new theory for the field of massage therapy, which can then be applied in practice, education, research, and policy.Conclusions: Foundational research into how experts in the profession understand and describe the field of massage therapy is limited. Understanding the potential differences between the terms massage and massage therapy could contribute to a transformation in the profession in the areas of education, practice, research, policy and/ or regulation. Additionally, framing the context for massage therapy practice invites future discussions to further clarify practice issues.

“…This cultural circumstance highlights children's obedience to their parents as a dominant virtue, which influences parental role and family functioning in South Korean. As such, these different socio-cultural contexts are likely to affect youth's aggressive behavior differently across the two countries (Hong & Eamon, 2009;Hong, Lee, Lee, Lee, & Garbarino, 2014). Using datasets from two national probability studies-the Monitoring the Future (MTF) study for US youth and the Korea Youth Panel Study (KYPS) for South Korean youth, the purpose of this study was to conduct a cross-national investigation of aggressive behavior among youth.…”
