In conclusion, Korean had suffered to overcome the challenges in the period between the late 19th to the early 20th century because of the foreign countries’ forces to take the benefit out from Korea. Starting with the forced treaties and wars of China, Japan, and Russia on Korean peninsula, Korea even lost its independence in 1910 by Japan. Korean government’s reaction to these events was disappointing: emperor Gojong even ran away to Russia after the first Sino-Japanese war, which is also called as Agwan Pacheon. As a result of continuous invasion of foreign forces and irresponsible government’s reactions, Korean showed three major responds to the depressing situation: depending on Japan to take control of Korea to modernize, studying abroad
After the United States of America forced Japan to open up its borders in 1853, Japan was subject to ‘unequal trade treaties’, where Japan gained little in the deals. The people saw this as an insult to their national pride and were convinced that the Americans and other Western nations like Britain and Russia were looking to conquer Japan to dominate in Asia. The people held riots in protest. Consequently, Japan forcefully acquired three major foreign territories: Taiwan in 1895; Korea in 1905, then as a colony in 1910; and the Kwantung Leased Territories in 1905. Many of the residents in Japanese-occupied territories complained of exploitation of labour, marginalisation of history and culture, and environmental exploitation. Despite these claims, the Japanese people were proud of their international achievements as the defeat of Russia gave Japan a new standing as a world superpower and their nationalistic idea of superiority was achieved. Thus, nationalism amongst the Japanese people was beneficial to restoring national pride, although it destabilised conquered
From 1910 to 1945, Koreans demonstrated their resistance against the Japanese through the Korean Independence Movement when Japan colonized Korea. Weakened by earlier Chinese occupance, Korea was already in a state turmoil. Heroic people such as Yun Bong-Gil and Yu Gwan Sun stood up for their country and culture. It took Korea almost 30 more years to gain their independence, but under their leadership, they proved the success of their determination and patriotism. Despite the eventually liberation of Korea, the Japanese occupation proved to be devastating to the Korean tradition and culture. Yet, the occupation had also been incredibly helpful to the Japanese economy which was under the rule of Hideki
Since the first immigrants moved into American neighborhoods, many issues have arisen between Americans and the Korean community. In 1911 and 1913,
During World War II, the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy’s “human resources were stretched thin,” forcing the Japanese government officials to turn towards Korea for extra manpower. In 1942, the government-general of Korea (GGK) announced that twenty-year-old Korean men would be conscripted into the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy. To promote Korean acceptance of conscription, the Japanese encouraged assimilation of Koreans into Japanese culture and society. This included learning Japanese and taking on a Japanese name. The attempts at assimilation and the draft left Koreans wondering whether they would become full citizens or “remain second rate subjects” after the war. Even Korean soldiers, who were supposedly equal to Japanese soldiers, were left wondering about their position in Japanese society. Through an analysis of Kasayama Yoshikichi’s recount of “The Korean Guard,” this paper argues that Kasayama reveals the nature of Korean conscription in the Japanese Army. In doing so, this paper shows how Korean soldiers were forced to comply to Japanese official orders, otherwise they would be punished; although, some Korean soldiers resisted towards the end of the war.
Evidence based support for the use of the annotated bibliography as an effective teaching strategy extends beyond the strategy itself into the identification of purpose behind the strategy. As such, research suggests that the annotated bibliography not only increases one’s reading comprehension, but it likewise increases one’s critical thinking skills. Mazella, Heidel and Ke (2011) incorporated the annotated bibliography as the source of data for their study on collaborative teaching as an effective method to merge student reading comprehension and information literacy skills (p. 42). The study subjects not only had to complete two separate annotated bibliographies on three different types of articles, but additionally, they worked in
In his work “Right to Kill, Right to Make Live” Takashi Fujitani compares and contrasts the Japanese treatment of colonialized Koreans leading up to World War II with the American treatment of the Japanese residents following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This work highlights how both the Japanese and the Americans treated the Koreans and Japanese Americans, respectively, and offers several different viewpoints. Thus, this work is exceptionally important and provides incredible insight into both cultures and the harsh reality of wartime. Additionally, Fujitani also explains how the Korean and Japanese populations are still influenced today.
Under the Black Umbrella tells the many captivating stories about the 35 years of Japanese occupation in Korea through both world wars. The memories are all from the perspective of Korean men and women who lived through some or all of it. Many of their stories and the history during that time are influenced by several factors, some of which include their location in Korea or surrounding areas and the government’s involvement in recording history. The Japanese were not all awful to the Koreans, since they were humans all the same, but they committed enough atrocities to have a bad reputation with the Koreans. In attempts to unify, North Koreans employed nationalism and ethnocentrism to fuel their way to become a strong nation again. South Koreans did not rally around such extreme ways and did not utilize their northern brethren’s methods of fear for power. Back then and now, globalization is a part of life and it should not be stifled. Nationalistic thinking will bring about more pain and suffering rather than just trying to coexist. Korea faced many hardships with the Japanese occupation. In recovery to their rule, issues arose when it came to accuracy in history, nationalism, ethnocentrism, and the different roles they all took between the north and the south.
During the late 19th century in Korea, the oppressed peasants and the followers of the Donghak religion revolted against the corrupted government officials and foreign forces, such as Japan and China. The movement’s significance could be seen through the peasants’ demand for reforms and the end of feudalistic society and foreign influence.
The next nation that will be discussed is South Korea, whose legal tradition finds its origins from Japan, but is now becoming more American in nature due to increased globalization. Korea’s legal tradition was first established 4,300 ago when the Gojoseon dynasty created its own statutory law, heavily influenced by Confucianism and China’s legal system (SpringerLink and Yŏn 'guwŏn 2). (note that during the retelling of South Korea’s history, the nation will be referred to as Korea until the point at which it became separated into Northern and Southern territories). Korea maintained this particular legal tradition, and aspects of a uniquely Korean brand of Confucianism, until the 19th century. In 1894, the internally induced Kabo Reforms aimed to modernize the whole of Korea in terms of legal and administrative systems, culture, economy, and more (“Emergence of a Modern Society”). The Kabo Reforms resulted in a legal system that closely resembled Japan’s system, which followed a civil legal tradition that was heavily influenced by Germany. Korea’s transformation towards a Japanese civil law system was further intensified and completed when it became a colony of Japan in 1910. Following the defeat of Japan during World War Two, Korea gained its independence in 1945, only for the southern half of the nation to fall under American occupation until 1948, while the northern half was occupied by Soviet Russia (SpringerLink and Yŏn 'guwŏn 5). Now dubbed as South Korea, the
The Third-Person narrator really works to construct the theme “Hills like white elephants” we can see the Reporter and the storyteller in the short story. The reporter does not tell us what the character are think, only what they are doing and seeing. The writer also provides symbols like (the river ebro, same white hills) the weather (hot) and the train, this means that the narrator is putting memories that can speak using a metaphors into short s tory.
As exemplified in the case of religion, the emergence of new literary genres and increased circulation of vernacular literature contributed greatly to the development process and growth of Korean identity. Prior to the March First Incident of 1919, Korea had been under a tight policy of censorship, with extremely limited access to literary resources. However, as Japanese official Saito Makoto announced a new cultural policy to quell the anger of Korean citizens after the March First Independence movement, obtaining publication and organizational rights became much more readily available in comparison. As a result, many nationalist groups and Korean organizations took advantage of this policy and organized various intellectual, political, and religious societies which allowed for Korea’s cultural development to flourish.
