SDLC 110 Learning Journal #11

[Ziwei Liao]

For this week, I reviewed Korean alphabets agains in class through pronouncing a set of Korean dishes.  Most of the time I am able to fully say the words and felt more confident at saying them. When I watch some Korean TV shows, I sometimes can identify single words that they spoke, which I feel happy about.  I focused on a set of words for my cultural presentation on South Korean's gender equality issue. They are: society -사회, men - 남자, women -여자들, economy -경제, equality - 평등, inequality-불평등. I also learned about K-pop's trainee system and Turkey's women's rights from the cultural presentations. I realized how competitive South Korea's entertainment industry is and the progress Turkey made on women's rights over the decades.
