Homogeneity in South Korea

Today, in the United States, we live in a melting pot of multiculturalism and welcome people living around the world living. Compared with Korea, it is widely believed that uniformity of Korean population is extremely important to maintain cultural and ethnic identity on the Korean Peninsula. According to the official statistics of the Korean Ministry of Justice, 8% of the 50 million people in Korea are foreigners who live in Korea. The idea of ​​Korean racial purity and foreign phobia ultimately led to discrimination and prejudice against foreign-born and Korean-mixed children living in Korea, and it became a social problem that must be dealt with immediately.

In contrast to 59.3% of women, only 36.1% of males replied "part" or "many". After that, I am satisfied that 48.2% of men spent with my spouse against 89.5% of women. When asked about the reason behind these preferences, men tend to give answers about the emergence of foreign women, but Korean women are attracted to what they believe is more free and equal in many countries I will.

Koreans are very proud, and they are proud of their traditional culture and economic achievements. Koreans have certain etiquette and etiquette and they are highly regarded in their culture. Like Japan and China, the bow is the main habit to welcome someone. It is not only a form of greeting but also a sign that one person respects others. Rights are important in Korea.
