Description
Divided along the 38th parallel, modern Korea is the subject of two very different political, social, and economic experiments. Today the military might of the Marxist-Leninist North confronts the soft power and prosperity of the uber-capitalist South, yet family and cultural ties bind the peoples of both Koreas, and reunification remains a cherished goal.
Korea - Culture Smart! helps you to navigate your way through the complexities of life in these non-identical twin societies, where, even in the affluent, westernized South, sensitive issues can cause misunderstanding.
