This week talked about the differences that exist between North and South Korea after the Korean war. The main topic was nationalism and economics. I chose the text that focused on the differences from the South Korean perspective. There was a rise of nationalism in South Korea that demonstrated anti-foreigners and created a more rigid definition of what it meant to be South Korean. In later years, after the war, it became the belief of South Koreans that they were the only true Koreans. Moreover, it talks about the struggles that the Koreans went to financially and how urbanization was rising throughout South Korea, which helped boost the economy.
