Summary of John Gonzalez & Young Lee's SOUTH KOREA
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Korean culture is infused with a competitive environment. Within it exist cultural and behavioral patterns that lead to success for the country in terms of GDP and for individuals in areas such as education.
#2 Korea is a homogeneous country racially, ethnically, and culturally. Unity and harmony are universal values for Koreans. The country's national flag, the Taegukgi, represents these concepts.
#3 Koreans are extremely competitive, and they tend to conform to social norms. They avoid standing out and being perceived as different, which is a harmonious social pattern. However, the competitive nature of the culture compels Koreans to differentiate from one another in many contexts, including when a socioeconomic distinction is involved.
#4 The three rankings that Koreans use to determine the socioeconomic status of a person are based on the university that they graduated from, the type of car they drive, and the type of job they have. Koreans are extremely conscious about age, and they tend to associate with, date, and marry people their own or very close to their age.
