Sewol Accident
Sewol Ferry disaster happened due to the lack of safety measures before and after the accident. This disaster is related to The Crucible because the Korean government and the victims’ families blamed the boss of the Sewol Ferry.The Korean government attempted to arrest Yoo Byung Eun to place blame and ask question of the Ferry. From then on, anyone related to Yoo Byung Eun was being criticized and publicly shamed in the internet. Also, those who were related to Yoo Byung Eun Evangelical Media religious group were also publicly shamed and insulted. One of the main issue that arised due to this was Park Jin Young’s(JYP) wife, who was part of Yoo’s religious group and also one of Yoo’s relative. This really represented the Salem witch hunt in that anyone who was related to the owner of the Sewol ship was being insulted and ostracized in society. Similarly to the Salem witch hunt, even those who had nothing to do with the accident was being accused and insulted upon for the sole reason that the person was related to the owner of the Ferry.
Political cover-up
We always have to be careful about the news because news reporters and companies sometimes are paid by politician to hide their secrets such as CEO of a company bribing a politician. For example, the news exaggerated Park Bom’s medical drug use to make her seem like a drug addict in order to cover up political issues concerning bribing. This is related to The Crucible where Martha Corey was reading books for hobby, but people thought that she was reading books related to the witchcraft. Also, innocent people were being cornered and blamed upon to cover up the fact that the girls were dancing. The girls, in order to hide the fact that they danced in the woods, started blurting out people's name. This shows that news companies and people from Salem need scapegoat to gain power for their own needs.
Hitler
After the World War I, Germany was forced to accept a guilt clause. They were constrained to pay massive reparations to Great Britain, France, and Belgium. Also Germany was forced to reduce army to 1000,000 soldiers, reduce weapons and demilitarize the Rhineland and the German Empire are divided into other countries. These were all requirements from the Treaty of Versailles. And this lead to Great Depression and the Rise of Hitler. During the Great Depression, Germany had a massive economic problems, such as hyperinflation and high unemployment. Due to the guilt clause, Germany was forced to pay a considerable amount of money to Great Britain, France, and Belgium. After Hitler becomes leader of Germany, he plans out to unite all Germans by invading other countries which caused jews holocaust and damage for a lot of countries. This is related to The Crucible when Thomas Putnam accused Giles Corey for Warlock to take away Giles Corey’s land to gain more power. This shows that Jews people and other countries were damaged without any correct evidence. Hitler accused Jews people for no reason to gain reputation and his political power.
