Germany's reunification teaches Korea the importance of careful planning, addressing issues such as citizenship and property rights. Korea must consider the economic costs and challenges of reunification and develop a comprehensive plan for integration. Social and cultural integration is also crucial. Although the percentage of people supporting reunification is decreasing due to economic concerns, the long-term benefits outweigh the short-term drawbacks. Reunification should be done peacefully, understanding each other's differences, and aiming for unity. The question remains: is there enough time for reunification? As we learned about Germany's reunification today, we would like to end today's episode by telling you about what attitudes and plans Korea should have towards reunification. One of the key lessons that Korea can draw from the German reunification is the importance of careful planning and preparation. The reunification of Germany was not a spontaneous event, but rather the accumulation of years of meticulous planning and negotiation. It was essential for both East and West Germany to reach a consensus on the terms and conditions of reunification, addressing issues such as citizenship, property rights, and the treatment of former political elites. Similarly, Korea can learn the importance of carefully considering the economic implications of reunification. The integration of the East German economy into the West German economy was an immense challenge requiring massive investments and cultural adjustments. Korea must be prepared for the economic costs and challenges that come with reunification and develop a comprehensive plan for integrating the two economies in a way that maximizes benefits for all citizens. Another important lesson from German reunification is the need for social and cultural integration. The reunification of Germany brought together two societies that have been separated for decades, each with its own unique identity and experiences. Korea can learn from this and work towards fostering a sense of unity and togetherness among its people, bridging the divide that has been created by political circumstances. The percentage of people who think Korea should reunify is constantly decreasing, and the main reason was because of economical issues such as paying reunification fees, etc. If you look at short-term, yes, you might think that reunification has no benefits towards us. However, if we look at the long-term situation, it is more beneficial for us. Therefore, we believe reunification should be done in a peaceful way and thereby understand each other's differences and one day become one, the United Nations. The time asks you, is there plenty of time for reunification?
