How are foreigners treated in Korea?

     In the past, foreigners were recognized as strangers in Korea. So they were unfamiliar and strange. However, the presence of foreigners living in Korea today has become a more familiar target than in the past, as those who speak Korean fluently are frequently exposed to the public, such as appearing on the air through the media. However, Koreans still tend to perceive foreigners as different from us. This is because Korea still has many images of a homogeneous nation.
 


     And Korean people's treatment depends on the nationality of foreigners. Foreigners in East Asian countries, whose appearance is similar to ours and is often seen, are more familiar, but their attitudes differ depending on the political issues with the East Asian country. And Koreans tend to discriminate against foreigners in Southeast Asia, which accounts for a large proportion of simple foreign workers, and they also show a friendly attitude toward Western whites. They also feel a greater sense of alienation and curiosity from people in countries they don't often encounter.

Among the MDG criticisms, criticism of women's inequality was interesting. The phenomenon of female ineq...

What is meant by that? / Lee hayoung

Q. Society is not determined by technology, nor is technology determined by society. Both emerge as two sides of the sociotechnical coin. What is meant by that? A. So to begin with, I think that society and technology are the relationships that influence each other, the concepts that one cannot include or dominate. There is technology in society, and technology exists because there is society. I think it's an inseparable relationship, so I think it can be expressed in both sides of a coin.

Summary Human rights are the basic right to live as a person. This is an absolute domain. Applicable regardless of ethnicity, gender, age, or location and guaranteed by international law.
