‘NO KIDS JONE’ Is a Hot Potato with the Movie "Frozen2."

(국민일보, http://news.kmib.co.kr/article/view.asp?arcid=0924110694&code=13200000&cp=nv)

 The film, "Frozen 2," has been getting great popularity throughout Korea. Spurred by the demand of season1 in the past, "Frozen 2" now has three times as much as the profit of season1. The film is originally a cartoon film for children. However, the film is now famous not only among children but also adults. There is a massive influx of adults into the cartoon film. So, they have complained of a grievance about trouble created by children. There are even suggestions for separating the adult and the children. Do people agree with No Kids Zone?

 The consumer has to receive the best service.

 The position in favor of No Kids Zone said that they paid so that they can get the services and goods that result without any damage. Adults relieve stress and have a good time watching movies. They think children disturb their rest. Children are less socialized, so they chat and walk around and sing along to the songs that come out of the movie. They say consumers don't have to tolerate these actions. Some people predict that the separation of the adult and the children will be a convenient way for adults, parents, and children. According to their opinion, adults can watch movies quietly at the No Kids Zone, and parents and children can watch the film without looking at others.

 It is adults who have entered the realm of children.

  Opponents of No Kids Zone argue that it is nonsense for adults to try to exclude children because they are in the realm of children. An animated movie was originally made for children. Cartoons were the exclusive property of children. Therefore, the term "No Kids Zone" did not exist before. They say that No Kids Zone is the selfishness of adults. They say it is not fair to push children away from the overall place. They also view it as child discrimination to exclude groups of children from designated spaces for no particular reason.

  Meanwhile, in 2017, the National Human Rights Commission of Korea said that "the right of children not to be discriminated against" takes precedence over "the freedom of operations enjoyed by business owners." The Committee regarded the exclusion of certain groups of children from space as an act of discrimination. According to the Committee's findings, owners should not be allowed to enter restaurants or cafes with children or children.

  So far, I briefly explained the controversy over the No Kids Zone. I took a close look at both positions and eventually stood against the No Kids Zone. I cannot entirely agree with the No Kids Zone from the following three points of view.

 Generalization point of view

  If we exclude children, will all adults keep good manners? According to statistics from the National Police Agency's 2016 special crackdown on tyranny, 89.6 percent of males and 10.4 percent of females were involved in the assault. By age, people in their 40s and 50s were the largest, with 57 percent of the two age groups combined. By generation and gender, men in their 40s and 50s were the most caught. Six out of 10 cases were black consumers. A rude consumer can be found in any group. One cannot blame a group of people for inappropriate behavior by a particular customer. Even the statistics show that the problem with children does not seem dangerous. The rude customer is in any group. Can we quickly conclude that all children are naughty? Many parents are strict about their children's manners. It could be a wrong idea that children are always naughty.

 A view of consideration

 Adults should understand the socialization process of their children. A child learns how to keep good manners for others in the theater with his or her parents. Children hold their parents' hands and go to the theater to watch their parents behave. And the child imitates the behavior of the parents. We must respect this process. We all went through our childhoods, and the adults took care of their immature children. Children are not raised by their parents alone. Society grows together.

 A problem-solving perspective

  Supporters of No Kid Zone claim the right to watch movies without disturbing their fees. If so, it will be solved by helping children behave to polite in theaters. It is desirable to create an etiquette education facility on a national level or distribute etiquette teaching materials in public places. Also, it is a good idea to provide formal education at daycare centers and kindergartens.

It is unreasonable to leave these methods and exclude children from space unconditionally. The No Kids Zone is a method of preemptively blocking a group of children, all of which are considered potential risk groups. It cannot be justified to exclude a specific group from a particular space.
