discrimination and stereotyping (SooHyeon. Kang)

Some variations in race, gender or socioeconomic class of Koreans often lead to discrimination and stereotyping and prejudice. I’m planning to deal with these three issues. And I will discuss about; what causes this discrimination and this discrimination result in some bad cases, how we can solve these problems. Most of all, people in Korea are still claiming that Korea is a nation-state. This causes naturally a racial discrimination problem. As a result, many foreign workers in Korea sometimes experience discrimination. There is still sexual discrimination in Korea. And that’s because of Korea’s massive growth spurt over a short time. In addition, Korea was a male-dominated society only one hundred fifty years ago. So, these tendency remains and this makes women experience some discrimination and crash with men. Lastly, difference between wealth and poverty causes opportunities in education or something. And this makes people judge the others with stereotyping.
