HW7. Personal Space

      This topic is hard to me becuse I haven't think about this and I don't know nothing of American cultures. But I think about this and try to write. This is my opinion.

      Why would there be a different notion of personal space across cultures? 
In my opinion, That reason is dirrerences between cultures. In the past, Americans require more personal space than Koreans. Americans highly regard one's privacy and has individualism. On the other hand, Koreans has familism and warm human affection. 

      To protect privacy, Americans hope other people don't come close. Because Koreans  lay stress on warm human affection, they want to enjoy the companionship of other people. Do you know one maxim that Near neighbor is better than a distant cousin"?. Near neighbor share all the joys and sorrows with other neighbor.

       Korean has some custom.
Korean exchange work in rural areas, expecially during farming season in spring and harvest time.
Also, Together They prepare food and provide a helping hand for memorial service,wedding ceremony and funeral.

      Cultures is one's way of thinking. Culteres is brought to descendant. Traditional way of thinking wield strong influence with behavior of people to modern time.

HW4 Korean education system

How to improve korean education system?
     
      In my opinion ,Korean education system has some proublems.
      The bigest proublem is Imbalance of subject quantity.
Korean education system  highly regard Math, English, Korean language and Science. These subject is memoriter course. They enforce memorization without understanding. On the contrary to this, Korean education system think small beer of Art, Music, Korean history and Exercise. These subject is good for ablilty of expressing one's think. They enable children to improve creative thinking and  sociality. Excepecially Exercise help children to grow strong in health.

      If ths proublem continue, Other huge proublems that can't treat may break out. We have to do somthing.
Then, What we should do?
      First, Change education system
Imbalance of subject rate have to keep a balance between Memoriter course and Arts and physical course .  Second, Change awareness of people. Many people think that memoriter course more important than Arts and physical course for their children. But It is worng thing. studing the memoriter course can ruin the our children. We have to ask for various education to government.

      It is very dificult and may need considerable time. But We have to do for our children.!
There are one maxim. " from small beginnings came great things." Let's start from small thing
