Fifth Cultural Post: Identify a topic for your culture project and your learning goals for your topic
I chose Korean food for my cultural project. My goal for this topic is to learn about the history and the reasoning of Korean food cultures. I looked into both the geographical aspect and climate. In addition, I wanted to learn about the food history. I found a very interesting story budae jjigae. There was also something very interesting and unique to the way that food was served in Korea unlike other countries. Korea is a collectivist country and they tend to share food. So, it was interesting how and the type of food they serve are also collectivist and communal style. Furthermore, I wanted to learn about the popular dishes that almost all Koreans know and love. This also allowed me to know what to try and get if I ever go to Korea in the future.
