SDLC 111 First Culture Post

[Hongzhen Chen]

I have learned culture knowledge about Korean food, etiquette, festivals, as well as daily life, and I would like to explore some deeper topics such as Korean politics and public policies. Recently, the Korean president for the leak of official documents to a family associate involved in a growing corruption scandal. It made me feel that a country's culture can have a big impact on its politics and vice versa. I would also like to explore more about how the cultural difference between South and North Korean contributes to the difference in the political system. I am going to explore these topics by reading Korean news everyday and asking my language partner for more information. I hope that by learning more knowledge about Korean politics, I could develop a deeper understanding of the development of Korean history and its impact on the current political system.
