Unit 4: Social trends - is society changing?

Last week in class, we talked about social trends - new, popular ways of thinking. In the PPT below, you can see the results from our class for each question we asked. In the 2E class, 10 students did the survey.



Now, compare the 2E class's results to the collated results of ALL my students. A TOTAL of 95 students did this survey last week.


NOTE: The 2E class did not get to answer question 10 (about the environment vs. the economy) because of a photocopier error. ㅠㅠ

Your blog post this week:
Compare the results of our survey. Do you see any trends in your generation's ideas for society? Do you think Korean (and Chinese) society is changing? Are there any traditions that will continue?
Please write at least 50 words (5-6 sentences).

See you next week!

  1. I think .. this trend keeping social harmony is better then expressing your feelings is my generation's ideas for society. and.. I think korean society is changing. because traditional society is confucianism. but present society is freely. example.. today for women, having a successful career is more important than having children.

    I think that trends of korea is changed.
    Surely, the survey is view 'respecting elders is more important than career success'.
    From ancient times, 'old man respect' is korea society.
    but, today is a little changed.
    some people is think that career success is more important than resprcting elders.

  5. most of students agree that personl happines is more important than work!
    we wanna have more time for our leisure and a dilettante life today. but in the older generation, they think that life and work are
    same. so if they lost a job then, it could be big problem
    however, in the younger generation, what to learn and enjoy for themselves is more important than work
    so they spend many time to development themselves and follow social ternd

    I See that graph.
    No2)personal happnies compare with work.
    It is most gap another research.

    One of Korean traditional social trend is waiting for parents and grandaprents at dinner. If you are first eating before your parents. It is very rude action in Korea.
    You always be careful this trend

  8. Maybe most people think personal happiness is more important than work.
    This graph see differ greatly.

    Nowadays Korean society is changing.
    Present is more open than past.
    For example, If women don`t allow wore mini-skirt,
    today don`t effect wore mini-skirt.

    Now exist many society trends is not continue.
    These is always changing.
    It proceed more polished, more bettter trends.

    (1) Soonchunhyang university area is not convinient to use trasfortation, but there are many cabs where we call.
    (2) If you want to go to other cities like seoul,cheanan,nonsan.
    (3) There are three kinds of transfortation you can use fast is the subway second is the commuter train nuri-ro and third is yhe bus
    Nuri-ro train is the fastest way to go to seoul from soonchunhyang university.
    (4) Soonchunhyang university near this close the subway is convenient.
