The Role of Religion in Korean Higher Education
It is widely believed that religious traditions，such as Buddhism，Confucianism，Taoism，and Christianity，had great effects on the entirety of Korean culture and society.Buddhism，Confucianism，and Taoism were amalgamated into Korean culture and became，in the main，axes of Korean traditional religious thought，in addition to Korean folk beliefs and shamanism.From an educational point of view，Buddhism and Confucianism had a significant impact on formal and informal elite education in the early Korean states and still remains important.Taoism，on the other hand，has affected internal and external life as opposed to Korean education.Christianity，a newly grafted religion，has also exerted an important influence upon the development of modern higher education.Therefore，the parameters of the study are Buddhism，Confucianism，and Christianity.
Throughout the history of Korean education，religion and education are inseparable.The examination of the role of religion in Korean higher education gives Western educators historically valuable ideas about religious components in Korean higher education.Therefore，the purpose of this study is to examine the role of religion in Korean elite and higher education during the premodern and modern periods.In this study，’premodern era’is defined as the fourth century to the late nineteenth century，and ’modern period’from 1880to 1910.
Numerous studies have shown that religious thought has affected the spiritual and practical worlds in premodern and contemporary Korea.However，several studies examining the influence of religious and philosophical thought on Korean education indicate that three religious traditions —Buddhism，Confucianism，and Christianity —had an enormous impact on premodern and modern education in Korea.
In terms of Korean educational history and philosophy，there are few studies that examine the religious and philosophical ideas that historically affect Korean higher education.Kim briefly analyzes the basic philosophy and organization of Korean higher education，and Lee reviews religious and philosophical factors influencing the development of Korean higher education in terms of educational administrative theory and practice.Studies concerning the role of religion in premodern elite and modern higher education have yet to be conducted.For this reason，this study will focus on the contribution of Buddhism and Confucianism to premodern elite education in Korea，particularly the interaction between Confucianism and Christianity with modern higher education in Korea and on the role of religion in current Korean higher education.

Face Scanner
Throughout the nation and the world，the debate on the privacy implications of face recognition and other surveillance technologies is heating up.In January 2001，the city of Tampa，Florida used the technology to scan the faces of people in crowds at the Super Bowl，comparing them with images in a database of digital mug shots.Privacy International subsequently gave the 2001Big Brother Award for ’Worst Public Official’to the City of Tampa for spying on Super Bowl attendees.Tampa then installed cameras equipped with face recognition technology in their Ybor City nightlife district，where they have encountered opposition from people wearing masks and making obscene gestures at the cameras.In late August 2001，a member of the Jacksonville，Florida City Council proposed legislation to keep the technology out of Jacksonville.
The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services gave a $150，000grant to the city of Virginia Beach to help the city obtain face recognition cameras to look for criminal suspects and missing children.Although officials had initially expressed mixed feelings about the technology，the city council voted on November 13to install the software at the oceanfront.
In the wake of the September 2001terrorist attacks on the U.S.，privacy advocates，citizen groups，political leaders，and the manufacturers of the technology itself are debating whether these technologies should be more widely used，and if so，how they should be regulated to protect the privacy of the public.Some airports are considering installing face recognition cameras as a security measure.However，T.F.Green International Airport in Providence，Rhode Island，one of the first airports to consider it，decided in January 2002that they would not install it after all，citing the possibility of false matches and other technological shortcomings of facial recognition systems.
