Hong Sehwa
Hong Sehwa is a South Korean journalist and former New Progressive Party delegate. He is known as a representative South Korean socialist. Hong criticizes imperialism and nationalism, according to the socialist perspective. Critical of anti-Japanese sentiment Hong evaluates that both extreme right-wing anti-North Korean statist "conservatives" and anti-Japanese nationalist " liberals" are nti-socialistconservatives, and that true progressives or leftists have never had a government in South Korean politics.

The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
