Unification of North and South Korea

  There are several reasons why some people object to unification of North and South Korea.
First of all, since North Korea has low economic power, South Korea people have to pay a lot of money to unify a nation. That is, we have to support North Korea people although current economic situation is not so good. The population of North Korea is about 20~30 million, the half population of South Korea.
Second, we are very different as for the structure of a society. While South Korea is liberalism, North Korea is communism. Two nations have kept their society since they were saperated. If we unify, people are confused and can't adapt to new situation. Next, the pronounciation is also very different. One can't understand the other's words completely. It's been a long time to live on their own way.
 
  There are also some reasons why we have to unify. There are many many divided families and they really missed their families. Although there have been many campaigns for dispersed families, many can't find their families and even they don't know if their families are alive or not. Next, there are many advantages such as using underground resources, saving money, and developing North Korea country. North Korea has many underground resources like coal and oil. If we can use these, we will be competitive in world markets. Also we don't have to pay much money for national defense expenditures and then we can save much money and can use some of them on other things. Last, there are many undeveloped areas and there are many people in North Korea, they are all our property. If we construct line construction between South Korea and Europe, the economic situation in Korea will get better and better.

  Anyway I support the second opinion. Of course, I can't deny that if we unify, it costs about $50000 each person. However, we are koreans and we can compensate for that money by using resources and developing North Korea. I really hope Korea will be unified after I die.
