Abstract
In 1992 South Korea stood as a model of prosperity and economic innovation. Only three years later, South Korea followed the rest of East Asia into an economic meltdown. This paper gives a detailed economic history of South Korea and examines the harsh economic policies imposed by the IMF at the start of the Asian financial crisis that led to the economy's eventual collapse in 1998. It also examines how three years on, South Korea faces an unbalanced recovery and a labor movement badly wounded by neo-liberalism, while the majority of its people suffer rising insecurity and falling incomes.
From the Paper
"The chaebol are huge, highly diversified, often vertically integrated conglomerates. (South Korea Business) The monoliths started out as small family-run businesses shortly after the war, and many still are family owned and operated. Hyundai and Samsung are two of the best known. "The chaebol account for about one-third of all industrial production, which forms the core of the Korean economy." (South Korea Business) Some critics say the chaebol have a finger in so many pies, and thus control so much of the overall economy, that they are, in effect, oligopolists, and are able to engage in price collusion.

"Analysis of South Korean Foreign Trade Patterns
Introduction
After World War II, South Korea was largely agricultural and poor, while the North had most of the industry and mineral wealth, developed largely by Japan in the colonial era (Facts about Korea, 1993). This disparity continued until the 1960s, when the South Korean economy began to industrialize and expand, at the same time the North's began to stagnate. Today, the situation is the reverse of what it was in the 1940s and 1950s; the South is relatively rich and industrialized, and the North poverty-stricken and isolated, no longer subsidized by the former USSR.
The story of South Korea's economic development is a textbook case of how an underdeveloped country transforms itself into an ..."

"Findings such as those observed by Kihara, Kihara, Ohya and Ichikawa (1998) lead to the question of whether prevention efforts in the United States are of benefit to foreign students, especially to students from South Korea. One study that sheds some light on this topic was conducted by Chou, Chin and Rodriquez (1998). In order to measure the effect of HIV 101 workshops on HIV knowledge, condom use self-efficacy, as well as intention to practice safer sex among immigrant and US-born Asians in New York City, the authors conducted a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest design. Subjects in the study consisted of Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Korean, and Japanese workshop 101 participants."

"After world war two, Korea's product facilities and the economy as a whole was destroyed. Korea became mainly dependent on foreign aid and financial assistance especially from US. South Korea was facing a sever scarcity of raw materials in addition to high inflation that had a backward effect on the economy. In 1958, prices were stabilized, as the government intensified its efforts in order to promote industrialization especially in power generation, automobile, Textile, and cement production. As a first step to industrialization, South Korea started to produce fertilizers and steel locally in order to reduce its dependence on importation."

From the Paper
"This paper will be concerned with the conflict between traditional values and Western influences in modern South Korea. Although Western influences are very strong in South Korea today, the nation as a whole has traditionally been resistant to all outside influences. For example, during the early history of the region, the nation of China had a powerful impact on the society and culture of both South Korea and Japan. In particular, China introduced the traditional values of Confucianism to both nations during that time. Nevertheless, "despite millennia of cultural and political ties with China, Korea maintained its individuality".
When Western missionaries and traders began arriving in Asia during the seventeenth century, most Koreans continued to be resistant to outside influences. Nevertheless, by the early ... "

"Overview of South Korea
To some extent Korea has never completely escaped from the legacy of the Hermit Kingdom, when the country went into self-imposed isolation almost 400 years ago in response to the Japanese and Manchus. It was one of the last countries in the world to establish contacts with the West in the late 19th century. Subsequent colonial exploitation by Japan during the first half of this century reinforced a defensive mentality among Koreans that still exists today.(Burton 1994)
But today the South Korean economy is once again booming after two years of the slowest growth since 1980. As a consequence of this expansion the government is now making a concerted effort to open up the economy to foreign investment. The GNP growth rate is expected to exceed 7% for all of 1994 as.."

"This research paper discusses the following topics: (1) the process through which South Korea modernized itself economically and politically in the post-World War II period and became the 11th largest economy, especially the expanded role of the state in directing and otherwise fostering economic development; (2) the interrelationship between national economic policy and economic progress in providing a framework within which political power could be shared more broadly --i.e. Asian democracy, Korean style; and (3) the prospects and challenges facing South Korea as it seeks to consolidate its economic gains, maintain political stability and achieve other social goals. As appropriate, comparisons are drawn between the experience of South Korea and those of other industrializing countries, including Taiwan and..."

The Korean War and the Korean War Veterans' Memorial, 2005.
This paper discusses the forgotten war, the Korean War, and describes the Korean War Veterans' Memorial.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, although statistically the Korean War took more lives than the Vietnam War, the Korean War has been branded as America's "Forgotten War" because it was over-shined by two "greater" wars, the Second World War and the Vietnam War, which dragged on for more than a decade. The author points out that the Korean War is important because it (1) started the end of the communist expansion in the world, (2) laid the ground for the entry of democracy in the states in Eastern Europe and Russia and (3) began the American foreign policy of military intervention to gain or maintain security, freedom and democracy in the world resulting in a number of military conflicts which continues today. The paper describes in detail the Korean War Veterans' Memorial, adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial directly across the reflecting pool from the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial in Washington, D.C., which was dedicated in 1995 by Bill Clinton and Kim Young Sam, then presidents of the U.S. and South Korea.
From the Paper
"The symbolisms in the memorial are brilliant pictures of a war that will never be forgotten. For as long as the memorial continues to exist, the memories of a war, which advanced freedom at the cost of the lives of millions of people, will eternally be thought of and etched in the minds of guests. Moreover, this memorial also serves as a reminder that freedom, though sweet and liberating, must never be taken for granted and must certainly be forever guarded, secured and remain dear in our hearts. It must also be remembered that there are still countries in the world that do not enjoy the rights given by a true democracy. The pursuit for the expansion of democracy must certainly not be abandoned. Still, millions of people are yearning for a free, equal state where social, economic and political justice stands and endures."

Abstract
This paper presents a comparison of Korean shamanism rituals and the Korean royal ancestral rite, Jongmyo Jerye. The paper explains that the main differences between the two have to do with the (1) spirits the ritual is addressing and (2) the actual purpose for performing the ritual.
From the Paper
"Korean shamanistic rituals revolve around the central figure of the ritual, namely the shaman. A shaman, focal point of our discussion, can be defined as "a person who mediates the relation between the natural world and an animated supernatural world (spirits) for the purpose of gaining some control over or knowledge of natural events" . The presence of a person that connected the mortals and their world to supernatural spirits can be seen present in almost all ancient civilizations. Whether called a priest, a shaman or an oracle, the functions they performed were somewhat similar and were requested by the necessity of the primitive peoples to feel protected and in a relationship with the supernatural."

?A Stray Bullet?, 2005.
This paper reviews the South Korean novel "A Stray Bullet" by Yi Pom-son (1920-1982), made into a 1961 black and white film, considered the greatest South Korean film of all time, that tells the story of an impoverished refugee family from the North.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that "A Stray Bullet" depressingly portrays the poverty and anxiety of post-war years in Seoul by depicting vividly the urban poor in their struggle to preserve their civilization in the face of the despicable socio-economic conditions and of a cultural clash between the traditional Korea and the American G.I's. The author points out that a consistent motif, the painful toothache that tortures Cholho, represents a powerful metaphor for the larger suffering of both his family and the Korean society. The paper concludes that, although the struggling Cholho attempts to solve his problems and escape from the nightmare of his existence, he is still doomed to failure; therefore, like the title, he is a stray bullet with no direction, just like one of the lost generation of the 1960's.
From the Paper
""A Stray Bullet" begins with introducing the main character, Song Cholho, who struggles with his meager wages as a clerk in a public accountant's office. Cholho is not only a father, brother, husband, son to his family, but the only breadwinner of the household. Silently bearing the burden of supporting his family, he would return everyday after work to his home in the Liberation Village only to find wails from his mother. His elderly mother who is longing to return to the North would "lay there, face to the wall, crying out the single phrase, 'let's go...let's go.'" Given up on his bed-ridden, frenzied mother, Cholho "would just look down at her for a while and then go into the next room.""

Globalization and the South Korea Crisis, 1997-1998, 2008.
This paper analyzes, in detail, the South Korean economic crisis from 1997 to 1998, which the paper contends was caused by globalization.

Abstract
This paper states that, although globalization has many powerful benefits, financial globalization is not necessarily always a force for good, as in the case of South Korea. The author points out that, before the 1997 crisis, South Korea had embraced globalization and had become one of the great economic success stories in history. The author relates that financial liberalization and globalization were perverted by powerful business interests, which resulted in a banking crisis, a currency crisis and, finally, a full-fledged financial crisis. The paper stresses that the villains of the Korean crisis were the family-owned conglomerates called "chaebol" and their allies in the pre-crisis Korean government. The paper also describes the steps taken by South Korea to stem the downturn and to re-emerge as the strongest economy among all the countries that have experienced financial crises.
From the Paper
"South Korea's macroeconomic fundamentals were strong before the crisis. In 1996 inflation in South Korea was below 5%, real output growth was close to 7%, and the country was expected to grow at a rate of more than 6% in 1997. The government budget was in slight surplus, while the current account deficit had fallen from 4.4% of GDP in 1996 to less than 2% in 1997. From a macroeconomic point of view, the South Korean economy seemed well managed, so the financial crisis cannot be attributed to macroeconomic fundamentals. Instead, the source of the crisis was perversion of the financial liberalization process, which had some particularly strange elements."

Abstract
Examines possible reasons for US entry into the Korean War (1950-53), with reference to several political science theories, such as balance of power and public opinion theories.
From the Paper
"The most apparent theory behind the United States? involvement in the Korean War must be the balance of power theory. Russia was obviously the most threatening side in the Korean War, therefore the states aligned against the Soviet Union. The United States was resolved to contain Russian influence, and prevent threats to world peace and the independence and stability of other nations by resorting to collective security arrangements and acting through the United Nations."

"South Korea has been an important connotation for modern history and the adverse impact of the Cold War. Korean history as such is over four thousand years old however even after treacherous Japanese and Chinese rule over Korea over the course of its history it did have several decades of democracy only to be marred by other invasions. Immediately after the Second World War, America and U.S.S.R. decided arbitrarily to occupy and divide North and South Korea across the 38th Parallel and it was mutually agreed upon that over the next couple of decades the region would be reunited into one Korea. However the spill-over effects of the Cold War, rather Capitalism versus Communism created what can be termed as ??Cold? Korea ?War?? which has led to extensive wars between the North and the South and even after five decades of division both the North and the South have only vastly grown in differences, cultures and economic development. While the North has remained impoverished and dependent on Chinese handouts and maintains one of the largest militaries in the world, USA brought South Korea under its wing and has created one of the world?s largest economies. It is a sharp contrast to the North with very little similarity except a violent history that was marred by foreign rule. South Korea today is a vibrant economy and although it has faced its share of problems with dictatorial regimes over the last couple of decade?s democracy has been widespread and successful and has led to strong economic growth and recovery."

From the Paper
"Two general but major theoretical orientations provide the basic foundation for the present investigation. These guide the cultural and philosophical theories that are described in detail in the following chapter. The first relates to cultural theory in general; the second pertains to personal privacy. With regard to culture, it can be said in the most general terms that culture is the most basic determinant of the wants and behaviors of individuals. Culture is an important idea because it deals with the way people live and approach problem solving in a social and organizational context. Those growing up in a given society quickly learn a basic set of values, perceptions, preferences, and behaviors unique to that culture. These concepts are learned through a process of socialization which involves the family, social group, school, and other institutions. Nevertheless, it is important to understand that different cultural theories continually surface as researchers learn increasingly more about culture and society. New perspectives give rise to new theoretical bases for assessing culture. Many early anthropologists conceived of culture as a collection of traits. Characteristics and behaviors were spread from one society to another. However, critics of this approach pointed out that the theory failed to explain why certain traits spread and others do not."
