For my cultural project, I want to focus on either the culture of gender stratification or the education system in Korea. I know that it is different in some ways than the school systems in America so I want to learn more about it. I always got an impression that Korea puts more emphasis on studying and working hard and had a different approach to what success was. When I look into more information about this topic, I want to learn about the structure and history of the education. In addition, I want to learn about different terms that applied to the education system.
If I choose to look into gender stratification, I want to know more about how gender plays role in different sectors of life, especially in the work setting and home setting. I want to see the inequality that is prevalent and how it has changed overtime. In the past, women were stuck with domestic chores, but now there is a change where women go to school and find jobs. I know that women are still expected to take on the domestic “role” at the same time, and so I want to see how both roles are intertwined.
