On topic: I don't know if it's been mentioned so far in the thread, but has there been any sort of reform or support for reform to make the education system more similar to Western education systems or just more quality over quantity in general? | ||

Japanese girls are short, generally have bigger eyes, have weird fashion tastes and eye-opening lenses are just un-natural looking. I guess they could look more "European", but in the wrong kind of way. Japanese girls remind me of small children most of the time. I don't think European features are attractive in Asian women (except for tall nasal bridges)... just my opinion though. Anyway back on topic I think Korea is the most "sad" country because they have no time to relax. From what I remember, they work the most hours out of the OECD, spend the most on education and everything needs to be so fast-paced. The competitive nature of Asian society in general doesn't help either. User was warned for this post | ||

We all have different tastes. Let this be the end of this discussion now and stick to the topic. | ||

That can't go on forever without a severe collective mental breakdown. Economic struggle coupled with famine and war are probably the biggest reasons for unhappiness in any society | ||

The difference is Seoul is the 2nd biggest metropolis in the world, so it has vastly more of a wealth gathering advantage on other areas compared to what other countries' cities have. | ||

It used to be that you come out of a decent university and you can get a decent job as well, but nowadays, even if you graduate out of one of the top three colleges in korea(SKY), times are still tough. from what my parents have told me, back in their times, the korean economy was just starting and so jobs were everywhere, but nowadays, with the economy sort of at a halt without much room for dramatic progress, there aren't any jobs around. Times are really tough in korea these days even if u get into a good university. imagine if you don't... Post from way early in the thread, but I can second this. I studied at Korea University Business School, which is the best or second best business school in the country. We were pretty much told point-blank that half of us wouldn't get a job upon graduation in Korea. It used to be that you just went to a top university and your grades didn't matter, you had a secure job to look forward to. Nowadays, even if you go to a top uni, you better put in the time to acquire other job-related skills (foreign languages, programming, internships etc.) -- called 'specs' in Korea -- or your future is in uncertain terms. Employers, and especially the chaebols (Samsung, Hyundai, Kia, etc.) have way too much power, and employees way too little. The reason why Korean girls are so pretty and get so much plastic surgery? It's not just competition for a husband, a superficial culture, or for personal reasons -- unattractive (and old) people are severely discriminated against in the labour market. | ||

Also South Korea has socialized health care. That is NOT a "Washingtonian" or whatever he calls it policy at all. | ||

Correct me if I'm wrong, maybe I was very miss-informed. Exactly this. Maybe they are depressed because of the compulsory military service. Blaming economic liberty is just plain silly. | ||
