My Favorite Experience Of Korea

860 Words4 Pages

When I was my 15 years, I watched my first Korean dorama. Then I did not know how it would exert an impact on my fate and view of life. This was the world-famous “Boys over flowers”, which became an occasion of my acquaintance with the country of morning freshness. I strongly believe that my life transformed for better and blossomed after watching this Korean dorama was watched by everyone, from the youngest to the oldest. It drew in this world – the world of Korean drama, Korean pop and Korean cinema. Knowledge about Korea was increasing more and more gradually and new sides of Korea were opened. I ascertained the country is famous not only of the Korean wave, Hallyu, but also of kimchi, various traditional food, colorful nature and combination of tradition and modernity. And some pieces of the Korean culture and language are quite similar to the Kyrgyz culture and language. I regularly used Korea as a case study to familiarize myself with writing about Asian economics, which has developed my understanding of Korean economic development and society. Learning the Korean language and trying to note down homework reminders in Korean are approaches to incorporate Korean into my daily life. Learning Korean language I realized that it was highly important to study it deeper, to get more acquaintance with Korean various aspects and also plunge into Korean atmosphere. Besides Korean language I have another favorite activity, which always nourishes with positive emotions and

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.

    Although, it also frequently denotes the various shortcomings of the US recapture and invasion of South Korean and North Korea respectively. This bias does not entirely take away from this excerpt as it is true that the US - South Korean treaty is different from many others and that Korea has since risen to a global economic superpower. This perspective about the Korean legacy resulting from the war shows that not all effects of the Korean war were entirely negative but all positives were hard fought and paid for with the blood, pain and lives of

    For example, the society must say “We” instead of “I” because every individual represents all of the people or “brothers”. North Korea is not necessarily living for others but rather living for one individual- the supreme leader, which is similar to Anthem. The citizens praise the leader so highly that they are willing to do anything for him and this takes away some of their choices and actions. North Korea is also known as one of the most secretive country in the world, controlled by fear. For example, North Korea is considered a self-reliant country or “juche” mainly because they believe they can conquer anything, which connects with fear of other bigger countries and insecurities about their own.

  • North Korea's Vinalon Armstrong Summary

    534 Words  | 3 Pages

    Both “Postwar Reconstruction and a Declaration of Self-reliance, 1953-55” by Charles Armstrong and “North Korea’s Vinalon City: Industrialism as Socialist Everyday Life” by Cheehyung Kim focus on the post-Korean War reconstruction of North Korea as a model of the socialist economic development. The authors analyze the rise of North Korea as a showcase of socialist industrialization with “fraternal” supports from the whole Eastern Bloc, the role of this rapid` industrialization in consolidating Kim Il Sung’s power, and external and internal backgrounds behind the North’s gradual transition from an externally dependent economy to an autarky after the initial years of industrialization. Armstrong argues that “fraternal” assistances from the USSR, the PRC, and the Eastern European countries as well as its strict adherence to Stalinist economic programs with the heavy emphasis on heavy industries were the two biggest characteristics of the rapid industrialization of North Korea. Armstrong summarizes, “through a combination of tremendous work and sacrifice on the part of the North Korean people, generous economic and technical assistance from the “fraternal” socialist countries, and the

    The narration beautifully illustrates the struggles of being pushed into a foreign world, where people look different, have other traditions, other norms, and speak an entirely different language. Based on her own childhood experiences as a migrant from Hong Kong, Jean Kwok tells the story of young and exceptionally intelligent Kimberly Chang who finds herself doing the splits between a life in Chinatown, wasting away as a sweatshop worker and living in a run-down apartment, and striving for a successful career at a fancy private school. Kimberly translates herself back and forth between a world where she can barely afford clothes and a world where, in spite of her intelligence, she 's supposed to look the part as she reaches for higher education.
