wanted my own business and had to improve my English skill for that business. Actually, I got my business idea from KNK’s business model. I lived near the Seoul Train Station where lots of foreigners reside. I saw most of foreigners were really struggling to settle down in Korea because Korea is definitely not a foreigner-friendly country. Most Koreans cannot speak English at all, and there are a lot of special cultures or ways to live in Korea. For example, except homeowners, more than half of…
Hypothesis The root cause of the emigration of Singaporeans to other countries is due to globalization, which has resulted in an influx of foreigners, resulting in stiffer competition for jobs. This root cause alongside other globalisation- related factors such as the rapidly rising standard of living due to the immigration of rich foreign talents, culture dilution and loss of common space, has resulted in much unhappiness among the locals and many of them leaving Singapore in search of better…
Introduction Fungai Chopo, a Zimbabwean builder, and his family fled from more attacks after a mob of native Durbanites (South Africa’s third biggest cities) busted their house and threatened to kill his wife and children. When Guardian journalists ask Chopo and his wife Memory about their next plans, Memory responded that “[we] came to South Africa for a better life and [we] worked for everything, but we are going home empty-handed, without funds, without passports, without the kids’ birth…
I discover that in the movie, the foreigners tend to live with foreigners, not the Chinese. Moreover, some of them afraid that they may regard as heterogeneous, then made some changes to cater to China. Take an example, the daughter of Amanda Wilson. She is a foreigner and follow her mother live in Shanghai. She afraid that she would be supplanted by the native students, therefore, she refused to speak…
traded other items in order to gain more food, weapons, and materials. Foreigners greatly enjoyed stopping at the Hawaiian islands because it was on the way to their destination. Kamehameha and the Hawaiians develop strong relationships with the foreigners. This was a change that happened after the unification. This is a good change because the Hawaiians profited greatly and did not have to trade expensive things, because foreigners mostly wanted food, and a place to fix their ships.…
from the southern parts of Europe. Something has changed though during the past few years. No longer are immigrants welcome in most countries, there is a lot more prejudice towards immigration and there are much more violent crimes done against foreigners than previously. If we look back in the 18th century and the USA, it was the settlers whom performed horrendous things to the Native Americans, whereas now it's the other way around. The answer lies in the fact that…
culture groups. Nowadays, some Chinese culture misrepresented by people in other countries. In the essay, I will talk about three kinds of misrepresentation of Chinese culture. Due to the movie montage and some exaggerated shooting techniques, some foreigners have a deep misunderstanding of Chinese Kung-Fu (like Kung-Fu dodge and the internal strength). However, the essence of Chinese martial arts is to move as much in order to keep fit and keep calm. People who practice the martial arts,…

Germans had to deal with the heavy taxation and were angry at the economic cost. This resulted in a very unhappy society where racism and hostility grew against foreigners. As the German government was busy dealing with the reunification issues, many foreigners were being attacked by the xenophobic Germans. The number of violent crimes on foreigners increased dramatically to around 800…
the laws and consider questions such as a person’s age, salary, weight, or religion offensive. If a foreigner were to approach an American, the American might take a step away because they like their personal space surrounding them. Also, as a citizen of the United States I have noticed that we are very informal humans who call each other by nicknames, or first name basis, but make sure as a foreigner to shake the American’s right hand, look them in the eyes, and smile,…
