Unit 4: Social trends - is society changing?

Last week in class, we talked about social trends - new, popular ways of thinking. In the PPT below, you can see the results from our class for each question we asked. In the 2F class, 16 students did the survey.



Now, compare the 2F class's results to the collated results of ALL my students. A TOTAL of 95 students did this survey last week.



Your blog post this week:
Compare the results of our survey. Do you see any trends in your generation's ideas for society? Do you think Korean (and Chinese) society is changing? Are there any traditions that will continue?
Please write at least 50 words (5-6 sentences).

See you next week!

    when a date 10 years ago, well fed clad and housed in Korea.
    accordingly respecting elders is most important.
    wealth is important of course.
    but come in 20c, population become high, work place become short.
    in actually career is important than otherthings.

  5. I think that most people anywhere have changed way of thinking over the times. That is, the change of trend can't be limited only in the Korea.
    As seeing the result of that survey, We can understand current trend of the times. Today is the competing times. That's why some people of today forget about something which was so important as a morals in the past. So many people today just focus on their success more than traditional and basic code of conduct. Actually, in addition to the problem of disregarding on respect for the aged, there are so many kinds of destruction of moral. The later the era of the people is, the more destruction of moral occurs. However, the change isn't always bad or good. That's because it is really natural.

  6. In the last ten to fifteen years, family is the nucleus of the community in Korea.
    I like to continuously persist.
    However, this was a bit recently estranged.
    It is the trend that isn't good.
    Individualism trend occurs gradually.
    Korean social trend is continuously changing.

    지역 사회의 세대 변화 epending입니다. 나쁜 추세를 변경해야합니다. 나쁜 추세가 좋은 추세를 배후에 형성되어야합니다.
    과거 한국 눈에 띄는 차별합니다. 하지만 지금은, 사회가 평등했다. 습니까 사회에 여성도 많이. 이 변경은 매우 좋은 변화라고 생각합니다.

    Depending on the generation of community is changing. Bad trend must change. Bad trend should be formed behind a good trend.
    In the past, South Korea noticeable gender discrimination. But now, society was equal. Was also a lot of women into society. I think this change is a very nice change.

    I think Korean society is changing. Unlike the past, the women increase the social status. In the past, women were at home every day. But nowadays working women is increasing. Also, woman is located a senior office. Sex also has a lot of changes. In the past, sex was a taboo, now sex become open mind. Also, Fashion trend is changing. In the past, women with short skirts or the men with long hair were caught the police. However, the current fashion is free.

    I think that Korean society is changing. In fact, our agreement percent was higher in the past. Respecting elders was very important. But, I think that career will be more important than respecting elders. Because Having good career will be happiness thing to woman.
