Women in Korea and Jordan, 2002.
A look at the status of women's opression in Korea and Jordan.

Abstract
This essay discusses the treatment of women in Korea and Jordan. In comparing both cases, we see that the justification for women's oppression resides in the argument that it protects the moral stability of society. Religion is exploited in both societies to rationalize men's power over women. The paper finds that there appears to be more hope in Korea than in Jordan, since in Jordan the idea of a women's movement does not even exist -- as it does in Korea.

From the Paper
" Society and Religion in Non-Western Societies
Reconciling the societal differences between the Western world and Asia--particularly with respect to China, Korea, and Japan--may never be a possibility. The divide is not so simple as the distinctions between mere Christianity, Confucianism, or communism, nor is it reducible to simple philosophical terms such as capitalism, liberalism, or Marxism. Indeed, the inherent dissimilarities between Eastern and Western cultures are as likely the result of the forced separation due to geography and the consequence of limited contact over the millennia.
As Rozman insists, the failure of social science to investigate national heritage as the fulcrum of societal.."

China, Japan and Korea, 2006.
A review of the world's perception of China, Japan and Korea.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the perceptions of modern day China, Japan and Korea. The paper essentially argues that the misconceived notions that China, Japan and Korea are not modern countries is related to the fact that they were isolationist towards the west and because they did not follow the European modernization concept.
From the Paper
"The relationship between China, Korea and Japan with the West is both complicated and filled with misconceptions. The largest misconception about China, Korea and Japan in the West is that these countries have followed isolationist foreign policies. For example, in "China Attempts to Soften Its One-Child Policy" Jessica Bernman suggests that China had isolated itself from the rest of the world and is just now beginning to open its borders (Bernman 567). Japan has also been thought of as a country that had isolated itself from the world for centuries (Toby 6)."

Abstract
This paper reviews how China, Japan and Korea are often referred to as 'leaders' in the world economy. The paper discusses how each country reflects a different kind of modernization and, mainly in the post-World War II period, an accelerated development success story, just as each country indicates its own kind of economic and political achievement. This paper argues that this view of the three powers in question is most problematic, especially in view of their respective defects.

From the Paper
"Tourism is an industry that many countries seek to encourage because of the large amount of foreign exchange it develops without requiring large amounts of natural resources or direct government expenditures. In developing countries, tourism can serve to introduce foreign visitors to the country and may result in increased business activity down the line. In addition to foreign tourism, various locations within countries seek to promote their own areas as sites for domestic travel, again to attract the traveler's money. Tourism encourages a wide variety of businesses, such as hotels, tour operators and restaurants, and helps supports ancillary businesses, such as retail sales and local industry. This research examines the various social, cultural and environmental factors that influence tourism in ... "

Honorifics in Japan and Korea, 1994.
This paper defines and describes honorifics in Japan and Korea, a language system, which reflects cultural values, social relationships, attitudes and traditions.

From the Paper
"Every language has its own way of solving certain social issues that arise whenever people come together in a social setting, and the people of Japan and Korea can serve as examples of how different languages address these concerns. The use of honorifics is a social convention that can have a number of purposes ranging from identifying family relationships and marital status to showing that the speaker is adhering to the conventions of polite society. The system a society develops for handling honorifics says much about the society, the relationships valued by that society, and the expectations placed by that society on individual members. Many of the subtleties differentiating various Asian societies are lost on the Western observer, but there are very real linguistic and social distinctions to be noted between the languages of Japan and Korea ...

Abstract
One of the most dramatic changes that took place in Asia after WWII was that several countries that had been colonized or semi-colonized emerged as independent, self-governing states, freed from colonial rule. This paper discusses the arguments for and against the statement: Japan and Korea faced a favorable, international environment in the post-war period, through close alliances with the United States during the Cold War.
From the Paper
"Once this happened, Japan started to improve its relations in the realm of international politics. In the 1950s and 1960s, Japan?s policy in Southeast Asia revolved around economic diplomacy, where relations were low-key and focused more on economics than politics. From the late 1970s, however, with the Americans withdrawing from Vietnam, the Japanese stepped into the limelight. In the wake of the Cold War, Japan was brought into a kind of strategic balance of power between China and the United States. It was only after this period that Japan actually gained a strategic advantage in international politics."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will explore the 1910 to 1945 period of Korean history when Korea was controlled by Japan. Japan annexed Korea in 1910 and forced Korea to take a new direction. The discussion will begin with a brief examination of a much earlier period time when, ironically, The Koreans were the ones who exerted a powerful influence on the Japanese. This will help one to understand the more recent history (in this history) of the country because it will reveal that Japan and Korea have actually had long-standing relationships. In addition, there will be some mention of the period of time just before the annexation of Korea by Japan.

Cultural Comparison of Korean and Japanese Buddhism, 2002.
This paper analyzes the two seemingly closely related schools of Buddhism which exist in the very different cultures of Korea and Japan.
1,548 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 16 sources, MLA, $ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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)"
