Problems in Participatory Culture - Jenkins The Participation Gap The unequal access to the opportunities, experiences, skills, and knowledge that will prepare youth for full participation in the world of tomorrow. The Transparency Problem The challenges young people face in learning to see clearly the ways that media shape perceptions of the world. The Ethics Challenge The breakdown of traditional forms of professional training and socialization that might prepare young people for their increasingly public roles as media makers and community participants. ”

Income gap o Limited access to money for competitive educational purposes. • Introduce research ideas to find a way to access financial assistance. • Ask for funding from GS Caltex, LG Chem and Hanwha Chemical. English divide Relax the test taking atmosphere and o Limited or no access to cram schools. introduce English as another skill like cooking, o Public schools in Gwangju and Jeollanamdo using a computer or driving a car. Provinces are chronically underfunded and suffer from lack of resources for learning purposes. Digital divide o Limited or no access to technology devices, especially for learning purposes. Provide opportunities and materials to use technology. Participation gap o Little chance to engage in an economically, intellectually, or creatively rich environments of opportunity Provide opportunities to explore online participatory culture in English and Korean.
