1. What are the effects of Korean Wave?

The Korean Wave, also known as the Hallyu (Hangul: 한류; Hanja: 韓流; RR: Hallyu), refers to spread of South Korean culture around the world. The term was coined in China in mid-1999 by Beijing journalists surprised by the fast growing popularity of Korean entertainment and culture in China. The Korean wave is responsible for achieving over one billion dollars in revenue annually for South Korea through cultural exports.
The Korean Wave became so popular has various reasons. It depends on the age, interests and values of the spectators. Common is the fact that “Beauty attracts”.

    Mate Selection Pros And Cons

    Unfortunately, studies have shown that the longer a couple cohabitates before marriage or engagement the less likely they will be to marry. I have cohabited with one ex and the experience was amazing when we were happy and horrific when we were angry. The experience showed me that there are pros and cons to every living situation. It shed a neutral light onto cohabitation for me. I would not cohabitate with a partner again unless I am engaged to be married within a year’s time. I learned that I enjoy my space, the freedom to come and go as I please, and the ability to maintain my peace in my own personal space. It is not always easy doing those things when you have another person’s space to respect as well. I believe that the goal of cohabitation is marriage but the perception is often skewed. If you aren’t married you will not feel obligated to stay and you will run at the first sign of conflict. I believe marriage is a sacred thing and the coming together of two souls should be respected as such; however, in today’s society it is not. I do not plan on getting married soon because people are getting married solely for love and it is not a stable foundation. I would prefer to build with someone and have a firm foundation prior to marriage versus marrying someone and discovering all their financial debts and inadequacies once it is too…

    Busting Myths About Dating Research Paper

    Live-in relationships are a better way to determine if the partner is right: I have seen many couples who date and plan to stay together in order to figure out whether their relationship would work in the future or not. However, according to psychology and my personal experience, this is not true. Living alone as couples is way different than when responsibilities start to pour in. It is not important that the same person would behave in the same way before as well as after the marriage.…

    Americanization And Soft Power Of The United States

    The Korean entertainment industry for a long time studied and understood the concept of soft power and its uses on the world stage. They knew the only way to penetrate an American cultured global concept of the entertainment market is not by riding against the tidal wave of US cultural imperialism, but to adopt it. They understood that in order to appeal globally and make it, they had to transform the popular K-pop music production to be more American. And today, in the soft power stage, K-pop is considered to be South Korea’s most powerful weapon on the world stage.

    Korea’s Gender Relationship Comparison Between Post-War and Modern Time: Through the Housemaid and Poetry

    The 1970s period could be regarded as a really important dividing line for Korean cinema. Changing from the Golden Age of the Korean film industry to the well-known low quality period, the films before and after 1970s have many differencies that are worthy to pay attention to. Not only for the film industry, the 1970s period is also a core transitional period in Korean society, a transition from the traditional Confucian society to the modern society. With the changes of political views and economic circumstances, South Koreans thoughts towards the society changes too. Because of the great amount of ideological changes among South Koreans, male’s dominant position starts to slightly move to another way. In the traditional Confucian society of South Korea, a man in a dominant position controls everything, integrity, honesty and more qualities is his criteria. At the same time, with the inviolability of the patriarchal, women stands in a subordinate position. In the process of the transformation towards the modern society, the status of women is gradually increasing, and for a short period of time men began to fall into the lost and confusion for the superficial phenomenon that males are losing their status, so they have difficulties in finding their directions. However, when the transformation was completed, men figure out that they are still in the dominant position, given more respect, freedom and rights to the women, men are still controllers in the real sense. All of these sociopolitical developments affecting the gender relationships among South Koreans are reflected by the movies. So in this article, I will use The Housemaid (Korean:하녀;translit:Hanyeo, directed by Kim Ki-young) and Poetry (Korean:시;translit:Shi, directed by…

    Gender Roles In The 20th Century

    The 20th century has been the scene of rapid social change. Educational, political, economic and religious institutions have been changing and morphing as the century progressed. These institutional changes have impacted individuals and families in dramatic ways. Gender roles have changed, family mobility has increased, fertility has declined and union formation patterns have become more fluid and less stable (Morrison, 2015). Over the past 40 years cohabitation has moved from being viewed as a deviant form of union formation to the preferred social norm as a transition from dating to marriage. Cohabitation is when a couple lives together for an extended period as if they were married, but is not a legal agreement. Many couples that are planning…
