Corporate social responsibility, along with environmental issues, has become a global topic across borders. As a result, international norms of corporate responsibility have been created by international organizations such as the International Labor Organization's Declaration of Multinational Enterprises, the UN Global Compact, and the OECD Multinational Enterprise Guidelines. In recent years, the European Commission has decided whether a company should fulfill its social responsibilities as a requirement for publicly funded companies. Korean companies, which have already reached a considerable level in the global economy, are compelled to comply with corporate social responsibility, whether autonomous or compulsory. Still, many domestic companies are approaching corporate social responsibility through narrow concepts such as social contribution and transparent management. In particular, the quality of employment, an important component of social performance, is passive. This may not be a simple task that can be accomplished in a short time by tripartite consultation. However, governments and companies should not overlook the fact that the recent calls for ratification of the European Union's ILO Convention and the expansion of corporate social responsibility could translate into non-tariff barriers that make it difficult to enter the European public procurement market.

Folk music is not only a nation’s important resource which could develop their inherent values and world views, but also the core of the innovation of a nation’s culture. Among the various minorities in China, the Mongolian minority’s folk music is unique, and it has been registered by UNESCO as a world intangible cultural heritage in 2006. After People’s Republic of China(or the “new China”) was founded, many pieces of Mongolian minority’s folk music with their innovative era characteristics have been produced, thanks to the composers. The Mongolian traditional music characteristic “long tune”, the most representative Mongolian traditional musical instrument “morin khuur”, and the unique method of singing “Khoomei”, all of them are the center of Mongolian minority’s folk music, and they have been inherited and developed till today. The reason why the Mongolian minority’s folk music has such ear characteristics is due to the vast grassland’s natural environment, the Mongolian minority’s unique life-style and their national customs. This paper will focus on 70 years of the traditional inheritance of Mongolian minority’s folk music since the new China’s foundation in 1949, along with the music’s characteristics which are formed by the new era cultural background, and then analyze and investigate the lyrics, musical instruments and methods of singing. In order to do this, this paper takes the representative resource from 《Research on Mongolian Music of a Hundred Years(book one)》 as its research scope, and also, I visited the University of Inner Mongolia in 2018 and did a survey named 《The Degree of Concern for the Mongolian minority’s folk music》of the Mongolian minority youth, this paper will use the result of this survey as its supplementary resource as well. Through this work, the relationship between Mongolian minority’s musical forms and their national life-style could be explored, and the inheritance relationship between traditional music and new music could be investigated as well, these would be the significance and value of this paper.

This essay resolves the problem of other minds through the perspicuous understanding of ‘understanding,’ on the basis of which it goes on to resolve the problem of other cultures. First of all, the problem of other minds derives from taking the self-understanding as the prototype of other types of understanding based on the Cartesian dualism. Wittgenstein’s grammatical investigation illuminates that the mystified use of language generates the problem of other minds, and stresses that in order to understand the meaning of others’ actions we do not need to look into the minds of others but to observe the intersubjective rules and the contexts that surround others’ actions. The problem of other cultures as well does not occur because we cannot have a direct access to the minds of people we try to understand. The understanding of other cultures is a difficult task but it is not the logical impossibility. The difficulty originates from the fact that “we cannot find our feet with them.” But if we can learn their forms of life we can understand their cultural rules considerably(the importance of teaching link). The problem of other cultures is not the kind of problem that should be presumed before attempting to understand.
