Define too long. |
When you have people who have been exposed to international media, lived abroad for years, dated or even married foreigners, studied abroad at universities..and so on.....who still harbor the same tired mindset..then hope begins to fade. |
I was under the impression that travel abroad wasn't really allowed until the late 80's. As well, how much 'international media' influence is there in Korea/Korean, and how long has it been readily available?
Doesn't seem like that long of a time at all. |

Only in the minds of people without any sense of history or proper perspective.
It's called being patient and understanding that humanity doesn't change overnight.
But everything has to be now. NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW (Stomps feet). |

and with the unification of the north which will happen at some point. Its pretty much a when not if, that will help secure it as well. The north have no outside influence and it will take a long time for them to become westernized.
Koreans also seem to retain their culture overseas if korea town and other enclaves are any evidence. The chinese did it over a hundred years ago with the many chinatowns in american cities that were still viable and vibrant well after the discrimination that had them forced into their own communities ended.
(sidenote, when it does happen, the teaching opportunities in the north through integrating them with the south will bring on a huge hiring wave probably if it happens fairly soon). |
