For my third artifact, I watched a Korean movie (which I haven't watched for years), and decided to review it. I chose the movie New World (Shin-Se-Gye) because it shows the culture of businessmen (and the mafia). Right away, I could easily sense the difference of respect levels within a corporation in Korea. Younger employees or employees with a lower rank will always bow to their superiors and treat them almost like kings. This is unseen in America. Also, there are not many women in this movie. This shows how Korea is still behind on gender equality in the workplace. I also learned a couple of Korean words that are often used in business. One of these words is 권능 (gwon-neung) which means "authority". This word was used when the characters were referring to others with higher or lower authorities. Another one was 수입 (soo-eep) which means "income". This word was said several times in the movie as well.
