- Eighth Cultural Post: Reflect upon what you have learned from the cultural projects presented in class.
From all the different cultural presentations, one of the ones that caught my eye was the presentation on the Korean tutoring centers. I saw how intensive they were and it made sense how they all did well so in school and had such a good work ethic. I also found from the presentation about the dating culture very interesting. However, it was also very sad that if women who reach a certain age don't find someone they will basically be unable to marry after. It showed the superficiality of Koreans as well. For example, in the presentation it said that men just had to make sure they make enough money and women have to be good looking and be able to take care of the home and children. It was a very traditional way of thinking and not very good. Another one that I found interesting was the Turkish weddings. From the video we watched I was surprised because it seemed as if was a sad moment that the daughter was being given away. Instead of it seeming like it was a great happy moment it seemed like the focus was the lost of a daughter.
