#GDP #Asia
I’m part Korean and I lived in Korean and Japan and many other countries. My dad who is Korean was dirt poor. Like so poor that he had to sleep next to random people chimneys by he got cold in the winter. He didn’t want that for his kids and started studying very hard in school cuz everyone in Korea is told “knowledge is wealth”. He became a surgeon and he does very well for himself now. He constantly reminds us the reason why we have what we have now is bc his generation and his parents generation worked really hard and helped their neighbors if they were in need of help too.
Also considering the school system in Korea, I remember we had to learn EVERYTHING about Korean history and it goes wayyy before BC. And we learn about everything our ancestors, grandparents, parents had to go through to have what we have now. It’s weird cuz I’m very well off but also we’re constantly reminded to be humble by there was a lot of blood sweat and tears to get to where we are right now.
The professor's teaching method is so good. I got a lot of inspiration. :)
Thank you for the information about Korea in 1965. I am a biracial Korean adoptee. It helped me learn one of the reasons why I was put in an orphanage at the age of 3 and sent to America about 7 months later.
I think the reason why Korea can grow up in a short term, Korean have their own bonding that “we are one” especially when their country faced with danger. Korean think we should save our country from the critical situation even though we have to take sacrifices to get there. That gave Korean motivation to grow up fast, I guess.
We highly respect good way of parody.
Copying our culture means others think that our culture is dope! We always try to think positively. There’s a saying “take a leaf out of someone’s book.” By letting other copy our things, we can help others to improve their skills. We enjoy that process~ cuz the more competitors appear the more we can get motivation to do work! To be the only one
However, arguing that our culture is others or showing disrespectful mind let Korean get hurts…..cuz we enjoy fair play, respect others, find a lesson from others and keep trying to do introspection.
Doing self-objectification can pros and cons but by doing so we can learn and consider more things and focus to ourselves to be better.
I should study English more,,,,ugh~ anyway thanks professor for enlightening us! (From Korean student who have never been to the U.S)
Also because of the help of US as a small country. Clod war also helped, US need a posprety SK.
There is one things which same as China ego. People believe we are too poor in last 200 years, We have to come back to the stage of world.
The US and its allies helped South Korea and Japan rose to what they are now. Meanwhile, other Asian countries have to fend for themselves because they were left by the US despite considered as close ally
China‘s rise is not a miracle, just because China has always been a powerful country. China was the world’s largest economic power until the 20th century, but in modern times, it was unable to develop its economy because of a series of chaotic wars and the Communist Party‘s isolation. Therefore, China immediately began to rise rapidly when the Communist Party liberalized the restrictive economy in 1978, and is now in the process of returning to his rightful position. South Korea has always been a affiliate of China, so modern China fell, and South Korea also became poor.
This is eye opening
Korea has become the poorest country since the Japanese colonial period and the Korean War.
But it is a short period in the entire history of Korea. In fact, Korea has been a culturally advanced country for thousands of years.
Yeah this is a very important point/context. People say oh korea was poor in the 20th century, but they fail to consider what was going on centuries before the Japanese invasion and the Korean War. Korea was already an advanced civilization along with China throughout history. It did fall behind the West at some point technologically, but now they are catching up which is what we are seeing today. But let’s not act like Korea was always like Africa in the sense that the region was always drowned in poverty. In fact, most of Asia was pretty rich overall historically if you look at India and China.
How korea became so wealth country
1. 사농공상 (social rank was 1.educated noble man, 2. agriculture, 3.industry, 4.commerce) before japan colonization.
2. all of Korean got a family name during japan colonization. (4 of family names are more than 60% in Korea which are noble name kim, lee, park, choi) before japan period, most of them were slave status. so if you see kim, lee, park, choi, most of their ancestor were slaves)
95% of them were slaves.
3. During Japan period, many ppl want to get educated also want to become a soldier in order for a chance.
At that time many korean eager to have high rank. New world, slave or normal citizen were able to become a noble man.
that explains now over 90% of korean graduate university.
4. After Korea War, In 1965 we got a huge amount of money from Japan. it was 8 times more than our GDP. Not even money from Japan,
they support their technology. so we built huge steel factory, high ways..stuff. they consult their know-how, manual of developing country. President park made a good deal. and he proceed exactly how japanese consulted us. the agreement was compensation for colonization.
5. our economy work in this way. Japan support basic science field, Korea take applied science part.
conclustion= Japan economy Korea economy is combined. that is why we become a wealty country.
japanese, korean have same common denominator on making stuff cuz we have almost same language, same mentality, and way of thinking.
if you learn japanese language and korean, you will see the same structure of sentence even postposition.
Hangul was made by Fukuzawa yukichi he taught one of enlightenment group.
Hunminjeongeum (traditional korean script + japanese words) = Hangul. 70~80% korean words is japanese.
example = democracy =民主主義
But these East Asian international students really need to open themselves up more when it comes to conversations. Most of them can't express themselves clearly and fluently and I sure as hell know they scored pretty high on their TOEFL and IELTS before they got admitted to their desired schools. They are too shy and often show hesitation when being asked to share their opinions. They need to be more confident in public.
Bro if you moved halfway across the world and had to speak in Chinese/Korean/Japanese as your regular day-to-day speech you'd be shy too. Because you can't speak. Cut them some slack
