culture

Korea was first inhabited by ancient tribes. Many of the ancestors were a part of the mongolian tribe and they later moved east to begin their new era. Throughout the years, the people have formed their own culture. Everything that is done, is based on the family decisions. The eldest of the family is the one who makes all the decisions for the family. Koreans never forget the death of their ancestors and from a very early age, children are taught to respect their elders and the ones who have passed. When a parent of a family dies, the oldest son of the family must walk around korea with no contact with anyone and must mourn the most of the death of the parent. While the children of a family want to marry, they MUST get premission from the elder. If the family is a wealthy family, the ancestors will arrange a marriage of another wealthy family to keep the fortune in the family. Although, now in korea marriages are much more common to marry in different classes, many families still believe that its not the way to marry. The belief system of the Korean culture unites families because of all the traditions and impact the Korean culture had on the families in Korea. The religion changes the culture because the people had to follow the traditions from the many generations in the culture or the families would be disapointed in them. The wealth of the Korean families impacts on the marriages that are arranged between wealth families to keep the wealth and fortune in the family. Education impacts the lives of the korean people because the many educated people there have to compete with other countries for good paying jobs. korea used the technology to increase their economy.
