Tracking. Media has existed since primitive times, including the Middle Ages. Although the forms of media have been different, their core properties have remained the same. Marshall McLuhan’s definition of media, “the medium is the message,” remains relevant and will continue to be so in the future. Regardless of the form media takes, this definition indicates that the medium itself does not leave the message frame. By observing the interaction between media messages, the audience, and the environment, we can improve our ability to judge the world and understand the crucial contexts of this era. Media also influences the economy, and the same applies to politics. Without the ability to understand media, we cannot judge the world accurately. This ability develops from constantly observing how media messages react with audiences. Therefore, maintaining a mindset of continuous pursuit allows us to read the narrative that drives the world, and the judgments based on this understanding can ...

After the Human Genome Project mapped our DNA, we discovered that gene expression and activation patterns can be altered and passed on to future generations without changes in sequence, a phenomenon known as epigenetics. This means that even identical twins, whose genetic information is almost 100% exact, will have different gene activation patterns based on their environment and experiences and pass on their traits to the next generation. A typical phenomenon is methylation (CH3), which is the addition of one carbon and three hydrogens to CpGs in mammalian sequences. Depending on this methylation, although someone inherits the same gene sequence, certain genetic traits can be activated or deactivated. It is also believed that a unique upbringing or education in life influences this phenomenon. Of course, as with any scientific phenomenon or technology, the cause or effect may change over time, but if there's a lesson to be learned, this is one of the most important reasons not to ...
