When talk about Korea, no one who does not know Korea. People known that Korea is a modern country that had a fast growing economy, and had a top education ranking. I have known Korea through the spread of Korean culture. Nowadays, in Thailand, Korean culture has a role in the everyday lives of people. The question that arises now is “Why Korea?” For me, I have a significant experience that inspired me want to study in Korea. I had a great opportunity to be a representative from the Thai Red Cross to join in The 3rd Model IFRC General Assembly in Korea. When I arrived in Korea, I found that Korea is the leader in technology, and have developed at all times. I have experience with the Korean culture, lifestyle of Korean people. I have seen the differences between Thailand and Korea. Korean people have …show more content…
It’s my first time that I have listened to the Korean people speak in real situation. These are so exciting experiences. I joined the conference that held at Anseong. So, I have seen other views of Korea that differ from Seoul. Although Korea has advanced technology, but also perfect combined traditional culture. The participants are from Korea and all over the world. The conference used by all English. I was so impressed in Korean when I found that Korean student can use the excellent English. And there are also foreign participants that study in Korea. This was showing that Korea has a good education system, and has become international. I had an opportunity to talk with these students. Most of them win the scholarship to study in Korea. This is also the motivated me to want to study in Korea even more. I belong a merchant family. I was born and raised in Lampang and lived with my mother, aunt, grandmother and elder brother. My father and my eldest brother lived in Bangkok. My parents always support me all that I wanted to learn, and shaped me into the person I am today. I am a student of Lampang Kanlayanee
The Korean War was a proxy war fought between the United States and the USSR, for the purpose of gaining power and political influence in other parts of the world. Since the end of WWII, the USSR and the United States became very hostile against one another, creating what came to be called “The Cold War“ coined by Bernard Baruch in 1947 from the lack of there ever being direct battles against one another. From the result of the bitter and cold rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union came a large chain of indirect battling over political influence in developing or war-torn countries. As this feud occurred the people of the United States mainly wanted there to be a change in Korea out of this war [Doc E], but what was occurring
The same tactics used to make the Korean’s obedient also created a hatred among the people instead of creating a people that were grateful or content in any way. Strategies used that were previously mentioned, such as the elimination of Korean culture, with the addition of those that installed fear into the people that blanketed Korea in suffering. With the people’s culture and identity being taken away, the addition of fear and oppression added to the anguish of country. Fear was instilled by means of people being “forced out of their land and their homes by the Japanese, who are buying up land cheaply by threat and coercion” (Kim, p.17). The people also had the fear that by saying the wrong thing or getting on someone wrong side they would face grave consequences.
Koreans exhibit their respect for their elders every day. Korea train system displays the respect they have for their elderly and sick. The train system has a designated seating area assigned for the elderly and handicap. Koreans understand that you automatically stand and give your seat to an elderly person. Americans do not force such things on you, because they do not value the elderly in this fashion.
Book Review I decided to do my review on “Nothing to Envy ordinary lives in North Korea” by Barbara Demick. After reading this book and seeing what they people went through in North Korea at the time made me grateful for the life I have now. The author intake over 15 year time length help better understand the social problems in North Korea that evolved over time. There resources was extremely limited especially when it came to the famine. The reason I am stating this first is because this was an important part of the book.
(U) North Korea (NK), although isolated, have developed their own cultural aspects over the decades. The civilian considerations, such as PMESII/ASCOPE, in NK comes in many shapes and forms. The cultural aspects of NK are dependent on and significantly affected by these considerations. The culture of NK varies from the political to the information considerations in PMESII/ASCOPE. The government control these aspects in NK giving little to no civilian involvement.
In conclusion, two aspects of life in North Korea and Anthem are entertainment and consequences for breaking the laws. Both societies have similarities and differences in these aspects. Overall, both these communities are ruled by
My father has recently become unemployed, and my mother is still recovering from surgery as I write this essay and is also unable to work. I know my parents support my decision to study abroad, but they must prioritize the day-to-day needs of my siblings and their medical bills, and as such they cannot possibly afford to aid me financially. Unfortunately, I have continued to put off participation in international education because of financial hardship. I distinctly remember during the fall of my freshman year of college not being able to afford a one-week international exchange program.
I was born and raised up in South Korea for twenty years, and thus I know Korean culture very well. I also understand American culture as well, because I lived and worked with Americans for four years. I decided to choose this topic, because in my experience, I have noticed a lots of differences between Korean culture and American culture; for example how Korean or American treat older people, how Korean or American act in the gym, and about the differences in foods. I picked those subjects because I have experienced the Koreans and Americans side well enough to understand both and I’m currently in South Korea with military men and women. I have Korean friends and American friends spending time together sometimes, and then I can observes differences and similarities.
I was born in Northwest China, in the province of Jiang Xi. Eighteen years ago, my parents had decided to adopt from China after finding out they were unable to have children of their own.

It was love at first sight and they planned their trip.
They may all force their peers to have a demanding routine but their freedom is in different matter between the two. North Korea allows love relations and family bonding as to “Anthem” only allows to reproduce an offspring but may not allow for the responsibility of them. In the book everyone is equal and must share their equality among their brothers, while everything is devoted to their dictator in North Korea. As to the way everything is formed in Korea must have it isolated and to benefit for only the country. Meanwhile the book states everything is structured for
After the Seoul Olympics in 1988 and the increasingly presence of western and globalization influence, Korea embraced the era of “technological reproducibility” and sheer industrialization (Kim 26). This fact is evident in
