you know how sometimes you hear something, and you just about fall off your chair because you cannot believe that such a thing could be true? In a topic class today, a student and I were talking about accommodation by companies of employees with different faiths. My student informed me that some Korean companies force or 'strongly suggest' their employees to follow a certain religion. THAT'S WHACK and SO TOTALLY WRONG. Article 18 of the Universal Decl. of Human Rights states that "everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion". I have also just been informed that our desk staff here at Direct English are required to attend 'church services' once a month. Now, I don't want to offend anyone who might be religiously inclined, but certainly no one can defend this practice? I am utterly gobsmacked.
