In our ‘current events class’ in Week 5, I learned about the latest issue of diseases of the imported pork. We debated for solutions about the problems, so I’m going to think out and share solutions. This week's presenters talked and warned about the hazardous imported-pork. I was a little sorry they did only advert to the imported pork, but not our domestic pork. But, anyway I have three ideas about the matter.
First, when government is in the conclusion of a treaty with other country like FTA, they have to be more transparent about the procedure and content to the public. We need a closer inspection, and we should ensure and tighten the system of compensation like ‘recall system’ due to the occurrence of diseases. Thereby, the exporting nation will be more precautious about the hygiene. Our officials must pay attention in securing the documentary evidence about the compensation of damages due to diseases.
Second, our nation should more carefully check the pre (post) - censorship. We have to regularly, unexpectedly and personally visit the exporter’s farms, and inspect the farm’s surroundings, health control, etc. As providing advantages like ‘tax cut’ when the nation receives a favorable evaluation, we can make the nation exert itself to manage their farms a-fond.
Lastly, I want to talk about hygiene education. The government’s efforts for people's health are important, but every individual’s efforts are also weighty. Through specific education in every school and home, we can prevent the risk of sicknesses in some degree. Schools have to care about public health and personal hygiene, too, so they should send questionnaires to their students’ homes and research on home health each month. The government should try to provide beneficial information which is about sanitation, hygiene and cleanliness every year.
By these efforts between nations and individuals, we can protect ourselves from lots of hazardous diseases in a big way. Thank you for giving me your time and consideration.
I agree with your opinion about the pre- censorship, sometimes it seems that they are not doing their job when imported foods have problems and they even get through to the domestic market.
답글삭제I'm quite sure that the government also inspects imported meat before they are being sold in Korea. The reason why most imported meat are less likely to have problems is because before it is exported to some other country they carry out several tests to make sure that it's safe. The food is exported only after it manages to pass certain tests, thus requiring less concerns about the quality and hygiene of the meat.
답글삭제Your 3 idea is great. I also agree about your opinion. Second thing of your opinion is good.
답글삭제I think that the gorverment should manege domestic farms. So, Domestic meat market can have competitiveness.
Oh, i absolutely agree your opinion. Especially hygiene education part. My major is food&science technology, so i know some imformatio of hygienc. But many people know only easy information. "Wash your hands." "Clean your cutting bord." But these information is only easy and small part. So i think goverment must give us the hygiene imformation.
답글삭제i also agree about your opinion. All of your opinion is good. And sometimes i concerned about this topic. i think that the government should make some policy.
답글삭제to amn: "thus requiring less concerns about the quality and hygiene of the meat."
답글삭제Thank you for your opinion, but I don't understand your words above. What requires less? So, do you mean that we don't have to worry about that? Sorry, I'm not sure, but I want to know more about your thought. Thanks.
