Similarities and Differences between Korea and U.S.

1. Every country has a culture that is distinguished from other country. A culture makes a difference and similarity. Many similarities exist in different country and differences also exist. It is natural thing to existing similarities and differences.

2. There are similarities and differences between going to school in South Korea and the U.S.A.

3. One difference between Korea and U.S.A is that Korean girls go to school with makeup on their faces. In Korean universities, many women makeup their face when they go to school. Because Korean women usually like makeup with their face. They interested in fashion trends a lot. So, they put on makeup not only going to school, but also when they go to anywhere. It is easy to see that Korean girl’s makeup their face in subway or bus.

4. However, American university girls do not use makeup. I think that American university girls have a useful idea which is makeup.

5. Another difference between Korea and U.S.A is that there are many international students in America. America is a multinational country including many other races, cultures and language. Therefore, it is natural to have mixed culture, race, and language.

6. There are also international students in Korean universities but just Chinese or Japanese. I think that Korea is the developing country and not popular so many people do not know South Korea, well. For this reason, many people tend to have a think that Korea is not proper to study abroad.

7. In addition, in South Korea it is considered in proper for an advanced study to many other country students except Korean language or culture.

8. However, the U.S.A is the most forward among nations in education field. Because U.S.A has a high quality civilization and educational know-how because of these reasons, many people want to go to U.S.A.


9. Besides the differences above, one similarity between Korea and U.S.A is the kind of homework and quiz which students have to do.

10. In Korea, professor gives homework to students for their preparation of lessons and review. Generally, the homework includes reading a book, presentation or free writing like MSU. Students are required to submit homework due to setting date and make formations which have date, name and title.

11. Quiz is also same style with U.S.A. In Korea, students are given a test, every one weekend. Quiz style is review or opinion about free writing before students did.

    Hi Jin.

    It'so interesting topic. Actucally, I rarely see that American woman and another countries woman make up their face in MSU. I think, American universities have more homework and quiz than Korean university, so I'm so sad-

    I agree with you. I also felt different between Korean culture and American culture, such as life style, fachion, way of study and method of thought, etc. As times go by, I seem to adapt this culture because I have to learn English. In order to learn other language, I think that I first learn their cultrue.

    Thank you!

    I WAS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT IN HIGH SCHOOL. WHEN I CAME TO THE USA AT THE AGE OF 15, I WAS SO SHOCKED BY SO MANY DIFFERENCES. THEREFORE, I KEPT A DIARY EVERY DAY WITH SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE US AND JAPAN. YES, THERE WERE A LOT FOR BOTH OF THEM.
