With the end of the year just around the corner, how would you define the year of 2007?
Professors used the word "deception" as a keyword to sum up the year in a recent survey....
The phrase literally means "deceiving yourself and others," which often appears in the analects of Zhu Xi, a famous Chinese Confucian scholar, and Buddhist scriptures.... The expression was often used to criticize people who deceive others or mock social morality issues. |

"Forging degrees, plagiarizing theses and the moral insensitivity of politicians and big corporations have shaken up Korean society for the past full year. People's greed is responsible for this," he added....
Fake-degree scandals involving high-profile figures throughout the society have shocked the public in the past year. Endless corruption charges against government officials, the nation's biggest conglomerate and the president-elect have agitated the nation up until now. |
