With the advent of globalization, our society is moving from a mono-cultural society of a homogeneous nation to a multi-cultural society with an influx of foreigners into the country in an effort to secure labor force for economic growth and with increasing international marriages. Therefore, multi-cultural families composed of members with different languages and cultures are easily seen/common these days, and they try to adapt themselves to this society in spite of cultural and linguistic problems. We should realize the necessity of citizenship training through the problems encountered by multi-cultural families. The goal of this study is to realize that citizenship training is the best way to the citizen of the world. I have investigated the concept and problems of multi-cultural families and I have done comparative analysis of German and our society's citizenship training realities. Also, I have referred to preceding research data like academic journals and theses and Internet data of media report to comprehend government plan and instruction method to lead our society to the citizens of the world. And I proposed some rational alternatives of educational policy and support direction for the children in multi-cultural families. As a result, Firstly, intensive language education by bilingual instructors for multi-cultural families is necessary. Secondly, we should employ a lot of flextime instructors to secure professional manpower and actively utilize them in education. Thirdly, we need education for self-esteem of multi-cultural family members and give them chances to make social participation. Fourthly, our society members should cast away prejudice and discrimination against multiple cultures with open minds and thoughts and should understand and respect differences. Contributions of multi-cultural families with various races and cultures to social development as a member of our society will be an opportunity toward citizens of the world.

The researches on the influence of Chinese political elites and China’s domestic and foreign policies tend to focus on the The Chinese Communist Party(hereafter ‘CCP’) and its cadres. To understand why policies take particular shapes, however, it is to understand not only the CCP and its cadres but also the central and local governments. It is because the role of those governments has been increased in the national policy-making processes. To overcome the limitation of those existing studies for the main actors in the policy-making processes, this article is an attempt to analyze the relationship between the bureaucrats of Chinese Central government and China’s domestic and foreign policies. For this purpose this research has analyzed the characteristics of Chinese central government’s reorganization and reshuffle which were decided during the first session of the 12th National People’s Congress, March 5-17, 2013 and since then until now in what ways and to what extent the reorganization and reshuffle of Chinese Central government has influenced China’s domestic and foreign policies. And furthermore, what implications those changes have for Chinese foreign policies towards the Korean peninsula.

The purpose of this study is to find out the network structure of social service agencies in Busan. The study examined the relationship between network characteristics and service quality. The survey questionnaires from 79 social service agencies among 115 were collected from November 1, 2011 to March, 1 2012. The result shows/reveals that each agency has 46 links in average. Social welfare foundations are positioned at the center of the network. For the relationship between network characteristics and service quality, the higher the degree of degree centrality and closeness centrality, the higher the service quality of agencies. Also, this study finds that the factors regarding the directors of the agencies are associated with service quality. Finally, we discuss the methods of developing the network of social service agencies in order to improve the service quality.
