So, growing up in America, with parents that grew up in a totally different place, with different expectations, was extremely challenging. As I grew older I started to realize the difference in the Korean culture and the American culture, especially with gender related issues.
It seems like in the Korean culture, as with many other cultures, the woman of he household is strictly designated to stay home, and cater to the members of the family. Although it may not be as apparent now, in past generations, that idea was deeply rooted in the culture.

Throughout my blog posts, I will be talking about how and why the roles of women have come to be the way they are today, what made things change, what made the role of females like that in the first place, and why the role of females is different in every culture.
This is a good introduction, from reading this I know who you are, what you’re about, and where this blog is going to go. So good job! I think you’re topic is really interesting, and I’m especially excited to hear more about your personal observations between Korean and American culture. You said that you were born and raised in the US, but you also said you grew up with many traditions and morals based off of the Korean culture because of your parents. As you continue with your blog I would find it really interesting to hear more about some of the traditions and morals you brought up with from Korean culture, and obviously how they compare with American beliefs and with gender roles.
ReplyDeleteYour introduction was great you obviously have a personal connection to your topic which will make your point of view even more interesting. I liked the way your blog flowed and made sense. I would like to know how you plan to attain the information you are looking for (research, books, interviews). Are you planning to compare the traditions and cultural beliefs of Koreans and Americans or another cultural community around the world? Other than that I think your blog is off to a great start, can't wait to read more.
