The_Culture_of_Beauty_in_Korea.ppt
This was my cultural presentation that I worked on with Claire and Sheetal. I learned a lot about the unnatural culture of beauty that many Koreans hope to look like. It is far from the common face where they would prefer double eyelids as opposed to the one-lid they are normally born with. They also prefer the lightest skin tones and s-shaped bodies. The western culture inspired much of this change.
This was my language history presentation that I worked on with Claire and Sheetal also. The most interesting thing I learned was about the development of the Korean language. The western culture also influenced much of this especially when it comes to "Konglish." Konglish is a term used to describe the Korean words that were borrowed from the english language and pronounced very similarly. Learning the history was a useful aid in learning the language.
