Fifth Cultural Post: Identify a topic for your culture project and your learning goals for your topic.
For my culture project, I plan to present on the Korean social hierarchical system. It’s an interesting topic to me because though I am Korean, I was born in and grew up in the United States. I identify more with my American culture than my Korean culture, so it feels strange when I am in social situations where I have to abide to the Korean social hierarchical system. In the United States, respect is earned through one’s character, personality, etc. Therefore, it is very difficult for me to abide to a system where respect is given due to factors such as age. It is a form of social ranking that I do not agree with. Therefore, because I struggle with this concept a lot, I plan to research more about it, with the hopes of coming to understand why it was established/ why it still exists today. My learning goals for my topic are to browse the internet for some potential articles to read about this social hierarchical system.
