it's like that even here, though...
I don't think the extent is really comparable.

you stop being yourself to become what society wants. :nails:

I'm a little rebellious.
I just do what I want and according to my ideals.

it's not a comparison as to why there's conformity, merely an observation that it happens elsewhere; she said that you stop being yourself and be who society wants you to be - that happens in a lot of places (but the reasons are different ofc).

I know what you said, and I know what you meant. I just said that the extent to which society expects conformity isn't very comparable.

I don't think you know enough about Korean or American society to make that claim

it's like this everywhere tbh
it's just that "they" work hard(er?) so ppl like us (westerns, LIBERTY WOW) think we're free, when in fact we're in a tight leash.

I think that's an unfair assumption, but I agree that it's impossible to truly know any culture. Living in it would give you a biased perspective, but studying it without having lived in it would do the very same thing, and studying then living in it wouldn't give you full understanding.

I found some more good statues today. :shifty:
Also, a pint of a light beer mixed with lemonade is very very tasty.
I'm a bit late to the party, but here in Australia, we call that a 'shandy' :P

I don't think it's unfair at all, considering you don't really understand either culture to speak critically about it.

But I guess i'm just biased.

anon, once an anon posted a link to a site where a korean (now also american) guy described his views in korean society and why it is like it is. I remember some key points, like culture gap, being highly industrialized in only 60 years, not having actual references (since a culture died the newborn one would have yet to discover their own identity), the way they acted (everything has to be the same, exclusion, who are they looking at when they try to build their identity)....

the guy mentioned a lot more, like the possible haircuts you can have or clothes you can wear, how they perceive beauty, what are the standards (and explained how important height is, also simmetry and a lot of other things we don't look at so much) etc..

if someone remember and know what I'm talking about, I'd be grateful to have the link again :)
I wasn't around when the anon posted the link to the website but was this the site?

Why is Korean seociety so superficial and xenophobic?
Everything is about looks and status. If you look or act differently, you will stand out but not in a positive way. I don't even think they get to act natural or develop a personality, As long as you fit in you're great...

I'm not a Korean hater but these things really piss me off. I travel a lot but I've never witnessed such racist and rude behavior. I'm from Germany travelled with my friends who're from Turkey and India and they were treated like trash.
In my opinion, I would say that the Korean society, like any other society, has its fair share of the two aforementioned issues. Which society isn't xenophobic? It might be that in some societies racism isn't as perceptible because of the heterogenous population. However, racism's existence still pervades. Similarly, conformity on some level is inevitably present in any society (think: social contract) and it isn't a concept that is unique to Korea itself. If you're referring to the high number of plastic surgeries in Korea as an example of Koreans trying to adhere to a possibly superficial set standard of 'beauty', then I think you would be merely concentrating on one facet of Korean society and projecting that as the face of Korean society.
