Given Questions on May 27th class.

Q.. Day in life of a teenager in Ancient Rome. What is similar to our lives? What is different? 


In the video, I can see a teenager's daylife in Ancient Rome. 

[similar]

The boy named Lucius lived in an apartment which are crammed in. Smelling smoke and ash is common things. The girl who lived in South Korea is also lived in an apartment that are crammed in. Also, even if I lived in 12th floor, I can smell cigarette odor commonly. I was surprised at the aspect of washing body. They Enter the bath in this order. Cold, Warm, Hot. Also, they had a massage, using oil and peel off the grime. It was very similar to Korean Public bathhouse routines. 


[different]

Then, what can be different? In the Ancient Rome, half of children die before they reach adulthood. However, now, we can live more longer cause of medical advances. In Ancient Rome, they completed education at 17 years old and hired as a commander. However in Korea, we graduated high school at 19 years old. Also, most of students went to university at 20 years old. 

In case of business, Lucius cannot doing business things until 25 years old. However in Korea, teenagers can doing business with parent's permissions. 

Also, Lucius got married at 17 years old with 7 years old girl. It was quite different in Korea. Most men and women got married after 30 years old in Korea. I knew there's few countries that get married in young age like Lucius and his wife. 

In Ancient Rome, there are slaves, but now, we don't have any slaves through abolition of slavery.

week 2 classroom questions

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.
