Introduction to our blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from the Spring 2024 class in Everyday Life at Hanyang University in Korea will discuss their weekly readings and activities.


For each section of the course, you are expected to post a blog post on relevant readings on our blog here and make a comment on another student's post.

An ideal commentary should be about 800 words, divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incorporated into our class discussions. You are allowed to quote an interesting passage from the text(s) you've read, but the quotes will not count toward any length requirements.

The blog’s deadline is always: Sunday, midnight, of the week the question is posted.
Remember: in addition to the blog post you should also make at least one constructive comment about another student's blog post. Note the word “constructive”. Just posting “I agree” or such will NOT be counted.

Late posts and comments will NOT be accepted. Nothing stops you from doing them IN ADVANCE if you think you may be busy in the upcoming week. As an exception, students who have joined the class after we have started will be allowed to make up late blog postings up to the first week after the add/drop period ends. Add the note “LATE POSTING - ADDED” to such posts and inform me that you are doing so to make sure I don't discard your blogs as late.

Note that for this assignment you will need to create a Google Account (https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount). Each student will receive an emailed invitation to join the blog and become its co-author. You have to accept it before you will be able to post.

Also, note that unless you configure your account to do so automatically you will need to sign your blog posts with at least your first name and initial – so I know who is posting (you can set up your username to do so automatically). Unsigned blog posts will not be graded. Also, add a label to each of your blogs based on your name and initial (so for me that would be Piotr K), this will make it easy for you and me to quickly find all of your blogs (how to label a post).

Here is an example of an excellent blog post (structure, content), although note this blog is on the longer side (about 800 words). You are not required to write so much, although if you do, you may receive extra credit.

Answers of 3rd class's question

 1. How do we shape our behavior because of others? We put  different personas for each opponent. That's why I think we're doing different things to different opponents. I think it can't be helped because we have to take different postures depending on the opponent's status, condition, etc. . For me, I act different poses to my parents, to my friends and to the professers. I have to 'act' different manners to each. So they look me various ways which i had pretended.  2. What is definations of early or late ? i ansewer depends on Korean culture It is polite to arrive on time or about 10 minutes early for office workers or unfamiliar people. However, it is implicitly allowed for close people to be late to some extent. Korea's unique culture of 빨리빨리[ppali ppali] seems to have made time commitments in office relations thorough. Actually the more earlier, may could be more politer in Korea 3. Why is color black common in Korea clothing? Koreans may not like to be

w.2 1. I think the team is that everyone has a different division of labor, not only the individual work results, but also the team's results.Everyone in a team has complementary skills to solve problems together to achieve common goals. It's like a family party where the mother will be responsible for shopping, the sister will be responsible for cooking, and the brother will be responsible for setting up the scene. 2. Why do Koreans prefer black clothes?First, I think black clothes are more resistant to dirt than other colors.Second, black is a classic and colorful color, do not choose the body, do not choose the skin color, suitable for various occasions.Third, black clothes can show simplicity and luxury, and can show different styles with various clothing styles, especially black coats and down jackets, which can not only blend into the winter atmosphere of Korea, but also reveal luxury and urbanity in simplicity.
