Cultural Post #1 (111)

[Jeffrey Choi]

My cultural learning goal for this semester is to learn more about the history of Korea. It is where my roots come from and I know nothing about it except for the few things that I learned from last semester while doing the cultural projects for SDLC 110. The few things I learned through those projects were fascinating because I was learning about the history of my nationality. The only time I came across Korean history in my life in the American education system was in my history class in high school and it was on the Korean war. However, the information was very brief and it was contained in a small paragraph that was about a few sentences.  I hope to explore these topics with the help of my learning partner. I plan on finding online articles as well some educational videos on YouTube that teach historical topics about Korea. Through the exploration of Korea's long history, I hope to gain some insight on the Korean people and why things are the way they are.
