Korea's homicide rate is about 2 per 100,000.<br /><br />From this, you can expect one English teacher in Korea to be murdered every 5 years. The victimization rate is probably much higher for a population that consists entirely of people in their 20s and 30s, but I'm not sure.<br /><br />The majority of blogs by English teachers in Korea are apeshit crazy. I don't understand why that is.A Deal Or No Dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03846366896375330656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869680.post-31084245079076441702010-03-14T20:23:26.847+09:002010-03-14T20:23:26.847+09:00nihonjinron

Her point of view is really particular and an analysis was so interesting.<br /><br />I’d like to introduce a part of the book….<br /><br />A washabi (Japanese horseradish) and a red pepper. <br />Both spices represent each Japan and Korea. The effect by these two spices toward the human body can express clearly each national character. <br />Eating a wasabi, the circulation of blood concentrate to a heart. Therefore, it works as a natural tranquilizer. It caused people to be calm and presence of mind.<br />Besides, eating a red pepper, compare to a wasabi, the circulation of blood tends to concentrate to the head area and stimulates the nerves. It makes the circulation of blood much more active and gets people excited.<br /><br />“A quiet Japanese and hot tempered Korean”<br />“Japanese like calm atmosphere and Korean like excitement”<br /><br />A wasabi and a red pepper, both are same hot taste. But there is a big different character among both of them. <br />A wasabi’s hot is like….soaking into the inside body. And a red pepper’s hot is like….giving vent from the top of a head. Their images are just like “absorption” and “emission”. <br />The image that a person are bearing the hot taste of wasabi is like that a man closes the eyes firmly with tears and hang down his head. Moaning “uuuuu” as closing his mouth tightly.<br />Besides, image a red pepper. Their eyes and mouth are opened as sticking out his tongue and huffed and puffed up.<br />A wasabi works inside the body and a red pepper works outside the body. It means a wasabi images passiveness and a red pepper images active. In fact, the Japanese tend to want to put ourselves at the passive position and the Korean have a tendency to put themselves at the active position. So it is completely opposite, isn’t it?<br /><br />One more! A wasabi is even very hot but it will be disappeared soon. On the other hand, a red pepper’s hot will lingers on in a mouth and keep breaking out a sweat. These cases also express each national characters. “candid and simple personality, Japanese” and “tenacious and staying powered, Korean”<br /><br />After reading the book, I felt admired “a wasabi culture and a red pepper culture” It was really interesting.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We are apt to have an illusion that both of two cultures are quite similar each other. However, they are completely different and are the exact reverse. There are so many different things between Korean and Japanese. It is undoubtedly reality, but we are tend to think the culture of between two countries are almost same.<br /><br />Without recognizing this clear fact, we may forget the consideration toward of each culture or custom. And sometimes it may lead a misunderstanding or distrust when we encounter at every occasions feeling a kind of different sense of values or the way of thinking. <br /><br />First, we should recognize that there are so many differences between us. Even when we feel something different, we should try to find why caused some problems to happen by learning about each history, culture, custom and each sense of value. We may need such effort to know about the other country earnestly and calmly…<br />I do hope it will be the route to the mutual trust and understanding for two countries.<br />http://keepthepassion.at.webry.info/200605/article_12.htmlhoihoi51https://www.blogger.com/profile/02682604811633713483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869680.post-40876298181097745412010-03-14T19:33:12.441+09:002010-03-14T19:33:12.441+09:00Defend who?
