In most cases, people tend to reject and disregard other cultures thinking that their culture is the “best.” when we are confronted with other cultures, we should instead learn to accept and acknowledge other cultures.
Approximately fifty years ago, Korea was a totally different place with wagons strolling around. The fact that Korea was able to develop was by adopting new foreign cultures. Korea had adopted different languages, religions, and technologies which all helped it to flourish. Therefore we should synchronize with other cultures to help ourselves to develop. However; it is important for us to question and understand the cultures before assimilating to filter out parts of the culture that is troublesome and to validate its necessity. Without the hesitation of asking or scrutinizing the culture we are about to accept we may lose the sense of our true culture.

Oh~ that was an interesting view I never thought about how we should "synchronize with other cultures to help ourselves to develop". I do agree with how we must understand cultures before we judge them. Nice post!
It's the first time I've read your posts and I gotta say it's really good stuff. I like how you used lots of descriptive words and I agree that we need to merge with other cultures in order to develope our own. Happy New Years!!
