The showdown between two leading countries, who can come out on top? In a epic battle of cultures we will put America and Korea in the ring “mano a mano". Only one country can be the best, and with all bets off stakes are high. With these Countries being on opposite sides of the world, the similarities are few and the differences many. During this essay we will look at a few categories to base our judging on culture, ethics, philosophy, and underwear regulations? With no further a do, let the battle for the ultimate respect begin.
In America respect is often thought of as something that has to be earned. People “gain” respect by doing something significant that people agree is the right thing todo. This respect doesn’t mean a lot in America,

When we look at modern-day culture in America, things have changed over the years. A man walking down the street with sagging jeans flashing his underwear loudly is a common sight, along with women showing excessive cleavage. But girls legs are still a controversial thing, especially in cases of short skirts or dresses. Quite the opposite is true for Korea, girls wear skirts so short they take towels with them in public so they can sit down with some decency. Crazy I know! But what might be more crazy is, cleavage and stomach is highly inappropriate and almost never seen, even women showing their shoulder can be inappropriate. In the modern day, Americans are relatively okay with woman show these body parts, to that point, America does very little to sensor content. Besides no nudity and swearing on TV, there aren’t many rules, and censorship is often done on case by case situations. Like when a book gets banned, usually it didn’t “break any rules”, it was overall considered to be unsafe content. This differs greatly from Korea’s method of censorship. Korea’s TV programs are subject to many rules from the Korea Communications Standards Commission, a organization that stands to protect Koreans from unsafe content. KSCSC bans a wide verity of content from being displayed, as Simon and Martina (2015) said, smoking, nudity, and all products that aren’t payed placement are just some of the things censored. And on “hardcore” rap stations offensive lyrics are censored, along with their tattoos and boxers being blurred out. Funny! While all of this does have a strong influence on the behaviors of each country’s residents, in which ways is a whole other topic. Not to mention the debate of what is free speech. In either case, America and Korea aren’t so similar with how censorship
Earned respect-is much different, for it is harder to achieve and comes over a period of time. Primarily achieved by
There were many instances where individuals have stated many negative and positive remarks about my bodily features that have both impacted me in various ways that stem from being, not only an Asian Canadian but in a more specific sense, a Korean Canadian phenomenon. In this paper, I will discuss where the judgements of ‘societal norms” come from, and how it relates to “me and my body in society” as a Korean Canadian. Through my convictions developed from vast amounts of past experiences of what people have stated, have also enlightened me, I have gained the body of knowledge as a result, through my personal experiences of which I will be discussing. I will be using western ideology and my experiences of being a Korean Canadian, how it particularly
Respect is very important both in the military and in the civilian world. In most cases, people can easily tell when someone respects them or not. Once they feel that they are being respected, they can instill more trust into a person, respect them back, and take what the person says to heart. They can put faith into that person. Once we earn someone’s respect, it is much easier to gain his or her cooperation. It is much easier to have them support us and take our sides. We don’t have to put as much effort in to getting them to listen to an order or doing what they are told. Respect must be EARNED. You must provide someone with your respect before they show you the same respect. This is what I mean by earning it. I do not believe that respect can be demanded or forced. Demanding someone’s respect will most likely lead to some type of conflict. Respect
Respect is something that we all want and it's a major aspect of esteem. Getting respect from people requires behaving like a respectful person. This means showing dedication to your career, your sobriety, and treating them with the respect they deserve.
Everyone wants to be respected. It’s in our nature, but in order to obtain respect, first of all one has to respect oneself. Second, one has to show respect to others in order to gain respect from them. If one doesn’t show respect to someone, that person may often feel blown off and lose respect for you. Respect in my eyes is like a math equation loyalty plus duty equals respect. respect is gained in conducting ones self in a way that others can stand
These days, numerous individuals have different implications for the word respect, however there is only one genuine meaning. The definition for the respect is as per the following, a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. Apperception, esteem, consideration, dignity, recognition, and honor are just a minority of the synonyms. So of course, criticism, dishonor, disrespect, neglect, disregard, and ignorance are just a minority of the antonyms. Indeed, even across the world, there are different definition for the word respect. Even throughout time this word has changed numerous times.
modern times, this level of respect seems to be rarely visible in most parts of our society. Personally, I
Clearly it is not acceptable for countries to select what their population can view. North Korea is an excellent example of a regime that depends on mass censorship to prop up its existence. Every media stream
Censorship, the practice of officially examining books, movies, and other forms of presentation and suppressing the unacceptable parts. In the past, most governments saw it as their duty to regulate the morals of their people through censorship, but the rise of technological communication and individual rights made regulating and censoring difficult. The practice of censorship remains in existence, but has been pushed back into the dark depths of the subconsciousness of society. However, in the small country of North Korea, which borders China and South Korea, censorship is merely a part of everyday life. North Korea has even been dubbed as one of the most repressive media environments in the world by the Freedom House, an independent media watchdog organization and normal privileges that are taken for granted, such as using a cellphone or internet isn’t something that any normal North Korean citizen has. The normal North Korean citizen does not get access to the “internet,” for that privilege is provided to a select few in the country, and freedom of press does not exist. The government owns all the media, regulates and censors all communication, and limits the people’s ability to access information from the outside world. Accessing information without permission is considered “a crime against the state” and will result in the punishment, such as imprisonment, being sent to a labor camp or death. Freedom from censorship is neither a right that is known to North Koreans nor
In other cases respect is earned, and not given. What I mean by this is that, sometimes people must gain the respect of others. This can be earned in many ways, like being respectful of others, being the best you can be, and doing kind things for others. This respect can cause people to look up and follow in example of someone, and eventually making you an example for others to follow and look up to, on so on and so forth.
The struggle for freedom has existed since the beginning of civilization. When creating a nation, leaders must decide who has power, and how much power they should have. But where is the balance between an excess of freedom and insufficient freedom? Two societies shall be compared: North Korea and Somalia. North Koreans have little liberty to do what they choose. The government denies human rights and allows citizens to starve, whilst using wealth better spent on its citizens to grow military might. Giving citizens little freedom of choice is obviously not a good way to govern; however, the opposite also makes for an unstable country ("Life"). Somalia is a shaky society with no central government and instead a series of "clans and sub-clans."
The Army has kind of got it right, in a way. They view respect as a way that we should act towards each other and treat each other. But Respect is still so much more then that. You can not respect just a person, or a rank, or a position, but also someones experience that has led them to where they are. Its more about feelings
The 2018 Winter Olympics are scheduled to be held in Pyeongchang, South Korea; directly bordering the hermit kingdom of North Korea. Based on prior and present tensions between the two countries (Korean War, 1950-1953), it begs the question of what extent will North Korean art, philosophies, and ethics have on the 2018 Olympics. In more recent times, North Korea has become more vocal about its actions such as the building of its military, weapons, and possibly the Sony Pictures Entertainment hack (Levs, 2014). However, there is still a substantial lack of information on North Korean culture and mindset due to their secrecy. Solely looking at art, philosophies, and ethics, North Korea will have next to no effect on the 2018 Olympics.
The division of North and South Korea stems from right after the Second World War, where brothers were pitted against each other because of the Communist North, or the Western South. South Korea was the gate to prevent the beast of Communism from spreading across the Pacific. With the fallout of the Korean War, it is still evident today that North Korea is still a country where the people are living in fear that each and every single American wants to kill them, while the South Koreans welcome us with open arms into their country.
So the burning question arises: Should respect be given to everyone no matter what, or is it something that needs to be earned? I believe that respect is a given. Like a natural right, it is born with it, and it is your choice whether you can gain more or lose it. People around the world have been fighting all around the world for equality. Isn't that the same as respect? We have been fighting for respect this whole time, so why should we suddenly discriminate every organism on this planet. Everyone has a side of insecurity and if we keep making people feel ashamed of that, there would be no respect. Respect is what separates me from you, him from her. But shouldn’t everyone get respect no matter the case? From CEOs to retail workers?
