Public Servant’ Education for the Prevention of Religious Prejudice and Discrimination in Korea

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research is to investigate the direction and contents of public servant’ education for the prevention of religious prejudice and discrimination in Korea. Through this research, I tried to reflect on legal basis of religious discrimination and on religious prejudices. To achieve these purposes, in chapter 2, ‘legal basis and issues of religious discrimination’, I analyzed legal basis relating religion-religious discrimination, religious freedom, and the separation of government and religion. And I emphasized that, doing public job, the separation of government and religion can be a lot more important than religious freedom. In chapter 3, in the title of ‘examples and types of religious prejudice and discrimination’ I classified cases of religious prejudice and discrimination according to types. and divided into four classes. And, in chapter 4, ‘religious prejudice: understanding and prejudice of religion’, I emphasized the importance of reflecting on religious prejudice. And I suggested my views of understanding religion. Finally, I urged to reconsider the instructional efficiencies and methods in public servant’ education to prevent religious prejudice and discrimination.
