1. CONCEPTS:
CULTURE: "The customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group" (Oxford Dictionary, 2010)
HALLYU: "Popularity of Korean pop culture abroad" (Korea, 2010)
2. How is Korean Culture?
Before talking about Korean culture is very important to talk about the country. "The Republic of Korea government was established on August 15, 1948. The President is the head of state and represents the state in international affairs. In case of the President's absence, the Prime Minister will temporarily act as acting President. The Prime Minister is the principal executive assistant to the President. The executive branch, headed by the President, consists of the Prime Minister, the Cabinet, 15 executive ministries, and 16 independent agencies including the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province." (Korea, 2010)
Korean culture is very diferent to own culture, Korean culture is very different from ours, both for the dress, music, customs and all those that is part of the behavior of people living there.It is wonderful to find the difference of behaviours that people can see with Korean people.
Korean people like the spiritual things, which is reflected in art, literature and many other manifestations and expressions
Korea as a country with strong economy, evidence that culture and expressions are very important, it is beatiful to know diferent manifestations of that. One example of this is the Hallyu. This "refers to the popularity of Korean pop culture abroad. The genre ranges from movies and TV dramas to pop music, and more. Many local celebrities, including actors and singers, have begun to make a name for themselves across Asia and other regions thanks to the Hallyu boom. These days, some are inspired to aim even higher, looking toward Hollywood."
3. POINT OF VIEW
Importantly, culture encompasses a myriad of experiences, situations and experiences of everyday life, so talk about it long but interesting turns. when we know about other cultures we are enriching our experience, our knowledge and our own culture. When we see countries like Korea, we could make a differentiation between countries with a strong economy and poor economy, and we will find interesting things. Aspects like music or the way people dress can influence the way like we as business administrators formulate strategies in order not only to gain market but also to be a good person and respect others.
" Culture is more often a source of conflict than of synergy. Cultural differences are a nuisance at best and often a disaster." (Hofstede, 2010)
