There are many similarities and differences between my culture (Korea), and Insurgents culture (The United States). They both are broken off into different parts, and they both are at high conflicts with each other. A difference is that Korea's state is more calm than that of Insurgents state.Both of these cultures have major flaws and setbacks in their society that makes them both very dangerous. But despite these 2 similarities and 1 difference, these two cultures very similar, and very unique at the same time, for example.
In Insurgent the United States has broken off into different factions of people. The main four factions are Dauntless, Erudite, Abnegation, and Candor. Dauntless are the soldiers, Erudite are the knowledge seekers, Abanation are the good friendly people, and Candor are the ones that believe in telling the truth. This is similar to Korea

But if you compare them to the factions of Insurgent by what they do and stand for, South Korea is more like Abenation because they aren't harsh …show more content…
Insurgents factions are at high tensions with each other to the point where Erudite actually mind controlled Dauntless people into almost wiping out the whole faction of Abenation.This compares to North and South Korea’s tension because North Korea has been saying they are in possession of nuclear bombs, meaning that since South and North korea are in high tensions, that North Korea could launch bombs and missiles at South Korea at any time. These two scenarios are both very extreme with one involving the mass genocide of a group of people, and the other involving the threat of nuclear warfare. These two countries are at very critical times in their history, which is very plain to see. Even though these two countries have many similarities, they still have major differences, for
Culture is the overall moral belief, customs, language, and attitudes a person is brought and raised into. Daily, we are exposed to diverse and different cultures everyday which allow us to learn the different values and traditions each culture possess. The importance of observing and learning different customs is beneficial because it can help us better adapt and prevent misunderstandings when we communicate and interact with others. Hispanics and Americans are two huge cultures that have been sharing the same living space for years but are an example of two different civilizations. While both, Hispanics and Americans, share many similarities they both differ in recognition of religion, language,
Culture has a paramount influence in everyday day life from the way people dress to way people gather food to how someone greets others. It united group of people based on their share ideas, perceptions, and knowledge (Blanco). Although some cultures share similar aspect, some can vary differently in their customs and norms. An example would a clan known as Nacirema whose culture would be described by outsiders as extreme and sadistic. Their culture consists of unique ritual, strong believe in magical essences, but how different does it vary from the American Culture?
I like your example about the different acceptance between Haitian and American cultures. Not only Haiti but also many cultures believe that psychological disorders are from supernatural forces. Therefore, they want to seek spiritual and herbal treatment by their traditional healers whereas, people want to meet psychiatrists in Western culture. Cultures include custom, religion and patterns their ancestors made for a long time, so their belief or behaviors are various. As a result, symptoms of psychological disorders are similar, perception and treatment for the psychological disorders can be different in every culture.
“conflict occurring between individuals or social groups that separated by cultural boundaries can be considered “cross-cultural conflict.” But individuals, even in the same society, are potentially members of many different groups, organized in different ways by different criteria” (Avruvh, 1998, p.6).
The Civil war that raged on in North and South Korea wasn't a just a war against nations, yet a war against political views.Because both nations had different views the two wouldn't agree upon “Both claimed to be Korea's rightful government and launched raids across the border”.(Berkin, 698) Consequently, North Korea took the
In Korea, the people have been taught to love and adore the great leader, Kim Jong Il. In the documentary about Korea, the people thanked the great leader for giving them the gift of seeing but did not thank the people who actually operated and fixed their eye. They are taught that everything he does is right and he never does anything wrong. In Anthem, they were trained at birth to live for each other. They had to say “We exist through, by and for our brothers who are the State”(21), every night before sleeping as their prayer. They are also to NEVER doubt or question the council. The citizens in North Korea and in Anthem are taught that whatever the government says is always correct and there is no questioning with what they say. The citizens have no say in their lives. After time, the people will start believing nothing else than what they've been taught to believe. Then they start believing that if they disobey with what they are told to believe in, then they are an evil or bad
Human beings are a social species that relies heavily on human interaction throughout their daily lives. There are roughly six billion people on this earth, and those human beings inhabit one hundred and ninety six countries. The varying countries have developed their own customs, languages, values, music, and style that give them their own identity, or “culture.” According to the Oxford dictionary, culture is defined as “the ideas, customs, and social behavior of a particular people or society [1].” An understanding of the meaning of culture and its characteristics provides the foundation to better comprehend specific cultures. By exploring a country’s cultural identity, one can gain a better understanding of a country’s values and viewpoints within a global context. Through an exploration of culture and its characteristics as well as the specific culture of Ukraine, it can be argued that the current conflict in Ukraine could potentially become an area of conflict for the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
People who identify with a particular culture have a lot of things in common, eg food, traditional costumes, music and so on. However, there are also lots of ways in which people within one culture differ.
After I had read all the short stories. I founded that Native American people they lived in harmony of the sky and earth. Because they believe in each individual living things and their spirit will grant them power which give them faith to prolong in their live. For the Native America, each story is always tight with trust of the some sort spiritual power and those power comes from tiger, hawk or bear in some kinds... Those figures can grants The Natives American power and good fortunes. By offering your Faith into the one of the many figures above. One can reach the spiritual Enlightments and can become one with the natures.
Some types of people are very similar to each other and others are completely opposite. In the book I read, called Moon Chosen, there are many scenarios that I believe are bizarre; however, the different people that I read about, think it’s totally normal. There are also parts in the book showing how the characters have different cultures, and how they think about each of the differences. Some examples of the differences between the character’s and my own culture are: laws, sports and games, ceremonies, religion, food, music, art, dance, gender roles, and also clothing.
The two cultures is a time from time of how you can find inner peace. One of the cultures is that during war, there were at least fifteen million american that joined the military. In WW2, they virtually accept that is five feet and weigh than at least 110 pound. So they were desperately need more men. Then the second culture is the German Nazi. They killed a lot a Jews because of the Germany think that the jews are responsible of losing WW1, so Adolf told the other that the Jew has caused some problem,and they bevelied him,so they created the nazi and kill a lot of Jews.
Culture is an important thing in our society. Wherever you go, you will always see a slight change to a set of beliefs and way of life. Yet, because of these changes, there can always be some sort of clash between two cultures.
When comparing cultures, one must form a definition of what culture is. Culture can be easily defined as the social behavior and normality’s found in human societies. It can also be easily made up of a composed arrangement of educated conduct and thought designs. Culture is a sorted out framework since it includes many parts. Throughout the world, there are many cultures that are both very different and also very similar. "Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at table, how we greet visitors, how we behave and one million other things." (Cristina De Rossi.)
North Korea appears on the international stage as a country existing beyond the world we all know. It isolates its citizens from the rest of international community and does not obey any rules determined by international law, but requires respect and recognition. Moreover, North Korea is one of the countries that remains aggressive towards its neighbors and applies various terrorist techniques, i.e. illegal contraband, political terror and mass abductions of other countries’ citizens in its foreign policy. The reasons for which the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) behaves so unpredictably and irrationally are diversified. First of all, the DPRK as a country is managed very irrationally – regimes of Kim Il-sung and
The concept of culture is something that defines many aspects of one’s life. From physical objects to different ways of thinking, culture adds significance to human life and makes groups of people distinct from one another. Culture is essentially a group of people who come together with similar interests and points of view. According to the Center for Advanced Language Acquisition of the University of Minnesota, “culture is defined as the shared patterns of behaviors and interactions, cognitive constructs, and affective understanding that are learned through a process of socialization.” From a more sociological perspective, culture is a way in which people come together in order to fulfill their needs. These shared patterns and ideas identify the members of a culture group while also distinguishing those of another group.” Culture is one of the things that sets the United States apart from the rest of the world. Not that the rest of the world is not cultural, but the circumstance here is different. Many people of different cultural backroads come to this country in search of a better life. As a consequence, the United States has become a place where many cultures merge together like a colossal pot soup.
