Both the very serious and the socially intriguing are discussed in a brief overview of the cultural climate of South Korea.
From the Paper
"Korean history is rich in culture and fable, a history as independently rich as any nation. The foundations of culture and government are traced through a series of dynasties, monarchical families. Each dynasty is associated with a time of change. The focus of each individual dynasty might run the gambit of all cultural and political development, some dynasties were known for their great contributions to literature, art and science while others were associated with more political focuses. The stories and the rich imagery of Korean Cultural History are often rejected by rationalists and often discredited as fable yet the need for understanding is evident regardless of the impetus. Korean Cultural history is ancient and rich and just as any ancient history the difficulty of proof or disproof through archeology or any other means is present. Yet, regardless of the secular identity or focus of today?s world economy the validity of culture requires not only knowledge but also respect of a strong cultural character."

"Buddhism and East Asian Culture
Introduction
Buddhism is a religious culture that originated in ancient India. The actual name "Buddhism" comes from the title of honor "Buddha" meaning 'the enlightened one'. This title was first conferred upon Gautama Siddhartha, an East Indian of noble birth. Gautama Siddhartha is most often credited as the probable traditional founder of the tradition of Buddhism. Gautama Siddhartha, born around the year 566 B.C.E. was recorded as a member of the kshatriya or warrior caste that originated in the northeastern portion of India. Oral and written traditions regarding Gautama Siddhartha indicate that he held a position of privilege within Indian society.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The sunshine policy is widely used to describe the entire unification policy that was designed to unify Korea and enable the country to play a stronger role in the global economy. While the actual policy had a much less interesting name, the sunshine policy covers the aspects of the cultural change that Korea went through in this policy's implementation. This essay provides an overview of the policy from the perspective of economic and political strategy as well as culture.
From the Paper
"The term "sunshine policy" is often referred to the "symbolic and ideological underpinnings" of the "engagement policy"; a strategy announced in 1998 which attempted to implement actual economic and political policies designed to move the Korean peninsula to a unified nation state (President Kim Dae-Jung's Unification Policy 58). However, the sunshine policy is also widely used to describe the entire unification policy that was designed to unify Korea and enable the country to play a stronger role in the global economy (Marquand par. 10)."

Cultural Comparison of Korean and Japanese Buddhism, 2002.

Abstract
The writer argues that there are very distinct similarities and differences in the histories, philosophies and beliefs that shape Korean and Japanese Buddhism, both in their homelands and in the United States. The paper compares and contrasts issues such as dress, temples, daily schedule of prayers and doctrine. Finally, the writer concludes that both Korean and Japanese Buddhism are part of the collective human experience, and as such each may be viewed historically, culturally and even doctrinally.
From the Paper
"It became clear that Korean Buddhists rely very heavily on the interaction of their ancestors as motivating phenomena. The weight of the burden passed on by every ancestor accumulates, resulting in an increasingly heavy karmic load for each subsequent descendant. In traditional, or Japanese and Chinese, Buddhism, the burden follows the individual (or in a worst case scenario, one of great sin or wrongdoing, follows the immediate family). However, in Korean Buddhism the weight of all things left unresolved follows all of the members of the family until it is settles. This holistic approach is so incredibly thorough that Korean Buddhists alive today are still carrying the unfinished cosmic burden of ancestors from a thousand years ago. (Buswell, 131-3)"

Abstract
This paper explores the approaches of world history in relation to three examples from Qing China, Tokugawa Japan and Choson Korea that were once interpreted culturally, but have ordinary political and economic explanations. Qing China resented the UK opium trade from which it could not profit, Tokugawa Japan questioned the motivations of Portugal's missionaries, and Choson Korea functioned from fear of Japanese aggression, towards decisions that limited European access.
From the Paper
"The notion of a stagnant and culturally isolated East Asia, was a common error of the recent past. World History's approaches force attention to local and particular developments so that what actually comes into view are three East Asians powers focused on protectionism. One sees that they did not isolate themselves from other influences but reacted, as one would expect when Western powers seemed to threaten their local control. Had Qing China or Tokugawa Japan or Choson Korea simply shunned outside influences out of cultural preference, this would have been a remarkable state of affairs, indeed."

From the Paper
"David Peterkofsky, writing in "Travel Age West", comments that the opening of a major international airport, the thawing of relations between North and South Korea and the ongoing commemoration of the Korean War are boosting Korea's visibility on the tourism landscape. Noting this convergence of tourism-friendly developments and preparing itself for the World Cup soccer tournament, the Korea National Tourism Organization launched its "Visit Korea" marketing program. Peterkofsky adds that judging from recently tallied visitor totals the year was not too shabby for Korea's tourism industry."
