Cultural Post #7

Koreans have a very collectivist mind set. Therefore, family matters are taken very seriously in their culture. In fact, many times when a person achieves something or does something wrong, their family will also be praised or criticized. Additionally, when a son or a daughter is financially stable and married, it is normal to have in-laws or parents move into their house until they pass away. Leaving your parents at a nursing home is often looked down upon. This is very different when compared to America. America has a more individualistic mindset compared to Korea.
