    I am a first generation immigrant to the United States from South Korea. While my ethnic identity is Korean, I consider my cultural identity a blend of both American and Korean as my cultural experiences have occurred in the United States while my roots lie within Korea. Considering my family’s origins as a whole, my family has resided in Korea. It was the decision of my immediate family to move to the United States for better opportunities. The Korean culture’s unique foods have been around my household as I grew up, but we did not continue with any particular celebrations nor customs during our time in the United States at home.…

    A Film Review of Barking Dogs Never Bite (2000) and Neoliberal Subjectivity This film review will define the underlying premise of Foucault’s definition of “neoliberal subjectivity” in Barking Dogs Never Bite (2000). In Korean culture, the effects of the job market have an important effect on the main character, Ko Yun-ju (Lee Sung-jae). Ko is an unemployed professor that seeks to control noise pollution in his neighborhood by abusing and kidnapping the neighbor’s dogs. The neo-liberal aspects of this film occur when Ko attempts to rationalize joblessness by attempting to stop the barking of dogs in his neighborhood.…

    Diversity is defined as the quality or state of having many different forms, types, cultures, and more. Being from a diverse environment is considered to be a valuable characteristic where one can acknowledge and accept the differences in others. This person whom had experience diversity is capable of being tolerant and open with others while one maintains their own opinion firmly. Therefore many different people are able to respect and look up to those who came from a diverse environment, or that is what people say.

    TOK Homework Task 2 I believe that my past experiences have shaped who I am today, making me unique to others. Experiencing different things throughout my life has contributed to influencing many factors that define who I am, which includes my thought processes, mind-set, attitude, aspirations, expectations, social behaviour and personality. For example, everyone would have different thoughts and feelings about a particular word, person or place, because of their own experiences associated with it. This is what separates one person from another.…

    This draws the question of Korean sovereignty, and its right to act for itself. What is the Korean sentiment that this film portrays? The history of Korea shows its massive dependence on the United States, such as American assistance in reconstructing the nation after the Korean war, or stimulating economic growth. However, since there is U.S. military base in Seoul, Americans have an undeniable military presence in Korea. Foreign control in country can be unsettling and uncomfortable for the residents of their home country.…

    A devoted watcher of Korean soap operas, I happened to click on a suggested video. I had discovered k-pop, short for the popular music that dominates the Korean entertainment industry. I was in love—my budding hormones were grudgingly but ardently ignited by their flaming charisma and brightness. At first, I felt guilty and self-consciousness about liking k-pop, a result of prejudices against the industry inherent from my compulsion towards purity in art, a preoccupation with being “real.”…

    The Korean Peninsula is known for its never-ending battle between the communist-ruled North Korea and its democratic ruled South Korea. During the year of 1910, Japan defeated the Yi dynasty and gained total control of the Korean peninsula in order to expand its empire (Salter 52). As part of an assimilation policy, Japan required Koreans to adopt Japanese style surnames, worship at Shinto shrines and learn the Japanese language. Koreans could also volunteer in the Japanese army to which they later fought for japan in the Pacific War (Kim xxii). For thirty-five years, Japan built up the northern part of the peninsula with industrial bases and saw the peninsula as a strategic link between Japan and the Asian mainland; however this empire would quickly come to an end.…

    America and Korea: Cultural Difference Based on the Six Dimensions of Culture Leadership is unique to all organizations. In Geert Hofstede’s research he studies different nations and how their cultures affect their work place. It is an interesting concept to see how different countries relate to the employment environment. Hofstede himself describes culture as “the collective programming of the mind distinguishing the members of one group or category of people from others.” I have been to Korea and as different as we look we have a lot of similarities from an outside perspective.…

    There is a high relationship between the people and media text in society. People who work in the media industry are not autonomous actors, which means that the people who work for the industry work with society by trying to figure out what society’s interests are and create media to appeal to society because of the need to make a profit. The consumers in society are also not autonomous actors. In society, people are referred to as an active audience, in which the audience interprets media content (people have different interpretations) through the different codes presented in the media. Interaction between people and media texts creates meaning due to the different interpretations in society based on an individual’s social identity.…

    It is very difficult to get a complete cultural experience in a different country than the one you are trying to experience. At the end my very last thought before leaving was "This isn 't what Korea is really like" that is all I could grasp honestly. There was about three or four main experiences that stood out to me the most. I picked Korean culture because I didn’t see anything else I could honestly get involved in. In downtown Los Angeles there are little areas that pertain to a certain culture.…
