Women under the Shadow of Social Safety Nets in Korea

- Introduction
For centuries, women around the globe have struggled continuously to gain similar rights and freedoms enjoyed by men. Women were often treated lowly by men as they believe these women should stay at home and take care of the children. In some regions, these women are prohibited to go beyond grade school and married off once they are literate enough to read and write basic numbers and words. Others are forced to hide their faces and a few even taste the pain brought by constant abuse. Movements have been done around the globe to improve the situation ...

- Introduction
The Korean Peninsula can be considered as a region that can rival China and Japan in terms of its culture, tradition and history. Its geographic location makes it an ideal place for commerce and a clear access to the Chinese and Russian regions. However, the once powerful and united region had been tormented by constant conflict and strife that had successfully divided the Peninsula into two separate states in the Second World War. Studies have emphasized that there is more to the war that meets the eye and as the war continues to ravage the Peninsula, it is ...

When I searched for an important article on religion, the issue of Christians acting as border smugglers for North Korean defects was a common result. North Korea, the reclusive country on the Korean peninsula does not allow freedom of religion, so Christianity is not legal there. Many Christians are working hard to get Christianity into the country through sending Bibles and other things across the border; however, the most interesting part of this topic is its affects on international politics.
The first story I read was on a North Korean website and entitled, “Paying to God under the Kim’s ...

Introduction

Japanese art encompasses a wide range of art media and styles which is inclusive of calligraphy on silk and paper, ancient pottery, sculpture, ukiyo-e woodblock prints, ink painting, the more recent manga, kirigami, origami and kirie. These arts have their foundation on the wide range of human habitation in Japan which is up to the 10th millennium BC to present day. Going by history, Japan is exposed to sudden invasions that come with alien and very new ideas which are then followed by long periods of literally minimal contact with the rest of the globe. This has caused Japanese art ...

Sporting events are the most socially interactive events in the whole world. Sports bring together people from different countries as they compete to win different medals. Unlike soccer, which also invites several fans and players to the World Cup and other major events, the Olympics invite all countries of the world because the eligibility of the nations to participate is not limited to some number. This implies that every nation willing to participate in the Olympics has this permission if it follows the rules and regulations of the international Olympics Committee. On the economic front, sports such as the ...

It is mandatory that all males between age 18-35 to join the military in South Korea.

Korean people lived a hard life in the hands of their colonizing masters, the Japanese. This article confirms this with examples of Korean harsh treatment from the Japanese as illustrated in the book “Lost Names”. Each paragraph illustrates harsh situations that Koreans went through during the colonization.
Korean students were being mistreated by their Japanese teachers. An example is when a young boy and his classmates were ordered to go around their town and collect all the rubber balls that had been given to Korean children as gifts by the Japanese in celebration of their conquest of Malaysia and Singapore. ...

During the Korean War between the North and South Korea, the United States decided to step in and provide security for South Korea. After the Korean War, United States Forces stayed in South Korea ...

The North Korea/South Korean conflict is a long-standing conflict dating back to the 1950 Korean War. It emanated from attempts by each of the countries to have the two countries unified under their administration. The war started when North Korea invaded South Korea and in many cases the former is usually seen as the aggressor. The Korean War (1950-1953) was a civil conflict involving Koreans on their own soil as they fought for control of the Korean Peninsula.
The war was also part of the cold war between the Soviet Union and the United States in which South Korea received ...

The conflict between North Korea and South Korea and United States has existed for more than five decades. The involved parties have tried to resolve this issue through dialogue and signing of international treaties, but in vain. Instead, the conflict seems to escalate day after day; an idea that has affects economic, social, and political development in the region. This issue has escalated enmity between the involved parties and their allies thus weakening regional integration and economic prosperity. The international community has raised its concern about this problem and has tried organizing peace conferences and dialogues with the intention ...

North Korea is confirming its identity as a nuclear state with each passing day (McLeish, 2007). This all started with Kim Jung-il, whose threats and existence was only known among the few who received threats but now his successor Kim Jun-Un is leading a ravishing threat with his name spread all around the world as the leader of the nuclear state (Nikitin, 2010). The latest being his nuclear threat to South Korean Peninsula.
North Korea is soon becoming connectionless as it has cut off nearly all bonds between them and other countries and setting the matter worse by an imminent ...

The Pacific Asia is a region covering approximately 2.9 billion hectares of land area, which accounts for 22 percent of the total global land area. It stretches from the borders of China-Mongolia with the NIS to the north to the south of New Zealand and to the tip of Australia. The size of the region varies depending on context, but it typically includes much of Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Oceania. The term may also refer to Russia and some countries in Americas found in the coast of the Eastern Pacific Ocean, which include Chile, Canada, Mexico, Peru, and the ...

Introduction

Arguably, the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 was one among the worst financial crises in the history of the world. Only comparable to the Great Depression in the United States and the Lost Decade of Japan, the Asian crisis was one that saw many countries from the region, SouthKorea being the most noteworthy, crumbling down in the economical sense. The crisis saw big companies in South Korea resort to such measures and alternatives like conglomeration through significant business mergers. The organizations that were affected include the biggest and most renowned companies, most of which were either taken over or ...

As with any second language learners, Koreans face considerable difficulty with learning English, a language very much unrelated to Korean. This is something many of us, particularly at universities with large numbers of Koreans or at companies where there are a large number of Korean employees, face every day. But what specifically causes the difficulties? We will explore this topic and more in this paper.
First of all, it is important to note that while English is an SVO language (Subject, Verb, Object), Korean is SOV (Subject, Object, Verb). This grammatical ordering alone can lead to confusion and jumbled order ...

I propose to study ways of negotiating in the Chinese culture. This culture is of particular interest due to the confusion and inconsistency often associated with negotiations within this culture. In part, this sense of confusion usually comes about due to the varied approach with which different Chinese negotiators may choose to approach negotiations (Faure 189). This variety in approach is mostly due to the different underlying religious philosophies adopted by negotiators. As opposed to one main religion, the Chinese have adopted three different religions: Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. The Chinese, as a nation have a way of approaching negotiations as ...

Arguably, war and philosophy tend to always appear a little common. As a matter of fact, scholars assert that philosophy is a field that defines and establishes the rationality and justice for being part of a war and that it attempts to set norms and rules on how wars in most cases must be conducted. One of the philosophical theories that try to justify the essence of going to war is the Just War Theory. Certainly, the scheme of a Just War is to define and establish ethical and moral foundation for human destructive events and activities. In addition, just war principles tend to ...

The decision that was made for engagement in a war between Korea and Vietnam can be attributed to Domino Theory. This was found in the doctrine of Truman Doctrine, which was found in MacNamara’s theory, often referred to as Domino Theory. It has been argued that, Americans were the losers, in Vietnamese war. Given the way the direction the war took, this statement could be true. On the other hand, one wonders if a large country like the US could lose such a fight. These are two opposing arguments that have been maintained by historians. In all these, the Americans did ...

The decision that was made for engagement in a war between Korea and Vietnam can be attributed to Domino Theory. This was found in the doctrine of Truman Doctrine, doctrine which was found in MacNamara’s theory, often referred to as Domino Theory. The reasoning that America has been that if both countries, Korea and Vietman, became communists, it would be risky for neighboring nations. The Americans did not concede to accept a rule of conciliation which had made way for Hitler to reinforce Germany to engage in World War II. In both Korea and Vietnam, America struggled to ensure that ...

Research was once carried out by linguist Jennifer Coates on the aspect of gender and language. The research was solemnly focused on determining both male and female gender approach on the way they convey different messages, both in writing and also spoken, indiscriminate of whether the message at hand was formal or informal. Interestingly, it was found out that both men and women have a completely different approach to language, be it spoken and/or written. For instance, women are known to spend more of their time gossiping as compared to those of opposite sex. The research further reveals that women ...

There are several studies that have been conducted to analyse women’s and men’s speech across various cultural identities. The main goal of the studies has been to find out whether there is a difference in the way men and women speak. Speech behaviour of both genders can be analysed in respect to language usage, phonology, verbal choice and the general interactions between men and women in discourse.

Conventionally, most of the sociolinguists look at the issue of gender in discourse in connection with the level of education, ethnic background, socio-economic status and the age of the individuals involved. ...

The development of Christianity in Japan, Korea and China

Introduction

Historically, the development of Christianity dates back to the birth of Jesus in the year 6 BC. As such, Christians purpose to live their lives according to the teachings of Jesus, whom they believe as the exclusive maker of heaven and earth (and its beings). Undoubtedly, many Christian believers value the life and teachings of Jesus, particularly the miracles he performed during his tenure on earth. Arguably, the greatest pillar behind Christianity is Jesus prophesies of his death and resurrection, which happened. Deductively, the mystery behind the demise and resurrection of Jesus is the main reason as to ...

Introduction

The Republic of Southern Korea has changed at an alarming rate since the end of the Second World War. At the end of the war in 1945, majority of the people living in South Korea peninsula were poor peasants (South Korea – society 2011). There was a negative impact on most Koreans from the Japanese colonial regime from 1910 to 1945 that promoted modernization of the society, since the intention was to serve Japan. Since then, South Korea has evolved dynamically to an industrial society (South Korea – society 2011). By 1990, education and health standards had risen, and most of the ...

Who is Kim Jong-Il?

He is regarded as a repressive leader within the Korean peninsula and border regions. He is legally referred to Kim Jong-il, the man who, until December, 17th of 2011 has been the leader and president of the communist republic of North Korea. He cuts a slightly bizarre figure of a leftist ruler and a ruthless leader, whose ideologies border on diplomatic deception, tricks and utopian dislike for the west. By design, he's a mysterious person whose intricate persona and weird lifestyle can never be unraveled in its entirety.
Researchers say Kim Jong il was born to Kim Il Sung on the second month ...

Gender is a very powerful category and one that many different people have used in order to explain culture and society. The role of women in society had for the longest time been constricted to the private sphere, the home, taking care of the children and being the primary Linchpin that could take care of the family and be the emotional and often moral center of the family. Women in the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have gained more rights and have fought for equality with men. When Korean families immigrated to the United States in the ...

In 2010, Michael Powell, the former chairman of the U.S. Federal Communication Commission (FCC) wrote an op-ed in which he endorsed a universal “national broadband plan,” to provide high speed internet to all Americans. He argued that it was a question of equality, because high speed internet access was “the great equalizer, leveling the playing field so that every willing and able person, no matter their station in life, has access to the information and tools necessary to achieve the American Dream“ (Powell). Such government funded universal internet already exists in Switzerland, Finland, and Taiwan, and proponents of such programs argue ...

Korea was bisected at the end of the Second World War, as a response to the differing political climates which each half of the peninsula espoused – North Korea preferred the communism of the Soviet Union, while South Korea was more in line with the policies and politics espoused by the west, the U.S. in particular. During the early fifties, hostilities between the two halves of the country reached breaking point, and the Korean War broke out, with the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea attempting to reunify the country by conquering South Korea, and the American army attempting to ...

There are some holidays that are shared all across the globe, in many different cultures, like Christmas. Other holidays may serve a similar purpose, but not necessarily celebrated on the same months or dates, like New ...

Introduction

It is noteworthy to study about the past labor and political economy of Japan, as its transformation to what it is today is too different from what it was in the past. Japan has successfully reinvented itself, from one that used to be a closed political economy, into a country that is now open to world economic integration. Despite its economic stagnation in the past few years, Japan remains to be one of the world’s greatest powers, and this can be attributed to decades of political and economic choices that fostered its miracle growth. One of the critical ...

Economic development, as scholars have cited, is synonymous with the concept of modernization (Diarsi 1996). Modernization and development refer to the progression of society from conservative opinions towards an inclusive and liberal approach where people enjoy equality irrespective of their gender or race. Modern society also assimilates the concept of a 'just' society where women have equal access to resources as their male counterparts and disparities regarding job opportunities, wages, and social status are either non-existent or negligible. Theoretically, modernization should be one of the automatic outcomes of economic development; however, practical examples may not testify this theoretical hypothesis.

Denim is ubiquitous in Fashion. Even in contemporary fashion, it continues to be prevalent. This observation is evident in the object of study, the Big Park Dress.

Introduction

Flushed with confusion the international world of business theory and practice has arrived at an important moment in history. Issues of diversification stimulate the need for global conglomerates to pay attention to how they are planning to add new businesses to the firm, which are really separate from the core product or service. Acquisition and restructuring present challenges as well. Yet the bottom line in the quest for best practices in corporate-level strategies is to win, in terms of competition. One scholar asks the pertinent question whether the merging market economies, of the globe, are causing Asia and Europe ...

A PRIMER OF THE DIVISION

apan has a very significant role to play in the division of Korea. Imperialism was primarily the reason Korea was under Japan for a little more than35 years. Going back through history, one could recall than Japan was widely considered as an ally of the western countries, often seen too as a rival.
In 1905, the war between Japan and Russia ended. In effect, the US sealed the conclusion of the war by awarding Korea to Japan (Armstrong, 2003). Initially, Korea simply served as a protectorate of Japan but eventually expanded as a full colony. Korean endured their colonial status with Japan, thinking ...

Adoption involves a person taking up of the responsibility of raising a child who is not his/her own. Interracial adoption on the other hand is a situation whereby the adoptive parents originate from different racial backgrounds. This type of adoption has existed since 1945 and is very common in the developed countries especially the United States of America whereby children from Asian countries and Africa are brought in by the adoptive parents. There are various reasons why children can be adopted across the racial divide but this has not been spared from controversies. This kind of adoption has pros and cons that ...

Introduction

Nowadays world’s ‘multipolarity’ creates the great conglomerate of interests and world views, which are of great importance, when they arise on the international arena. According to the main principles of the UN, they are to be respected and balanced so as to achieve so-called sustainable development. Otherwise, the consequences could be rather negative for the rest of contemporary multipolar world. According to Mearsheimer, multipolarity is more likely to cause potential conflict dyads, that the previous bipolar world, when the conflicts could be generally caused by two great existing powers (Brown, 1998). That makes the study of the causes ...

The stand-off between the North Korea and the US about nuclear weapon development has been ongoing for long. Several issues surround the persistent threats by North Korea and its sudden interest in the development of nuclear weapons. Many parties have attempted to negotiate the end of the nuclear weapon and sale of ballistic arsenals (Forge 81-104). The efforts to denuclearize the world have been full of frustrations marred with the uncertain stalemate. At some points, there have been signs of progress, but all seem to be in vain after certain periods. It is important for the world powers to ...

The man listened attentively as indicated by the occasional nods. The close friend was blaming his girlfriend’s being immature and indecisive that caused the argument. This is an example of fundamental attribution error wherein more emphasis was given to the personality traits of a ...

International Monetary System  

Introduction
The exchange rate has a significant impact on foreign trade of the country, because the competitiveness of country’s products on world markets largely depends on the level of exchange rate. The exchange rate affects the direction of international capital flows. The decision about investing of the national capital in assets of any country is taken on the basis of the expected real return on invested capital, which depends on the interest rate and the expected changes in the exchange rate (Brigham and Houston, 2011).
The currency parity is at the heart rates of convertible currencies. However, the ...
