  • Kunst Südkorea, Seoul A.Mirzakhani
    SEOUL 서울 WOHNORT ich habe in itaewon, yongsan-gu, 1 1/2 h von unserer partneruniversität gewohnt. das war in ordnung, da ich in der nähe aller stadtzentren war. die mietpreise sind ungefähr wie in frankfurt, jedoch werden sie teilweise stetig teurer. die kautionen die man für zimmer bezahlt sollte man auf jeden fall miteinkalkulieren, weil sie bei 500€+ anfangen. eine gute möglichkeit wohnungen zu finden ist craigslist seoul und home to home in facebook. TRANSPORT wenn man in seoul ist sollte man sich eine tmoney karte kaufen, die funktioniert wie eine pre-paidkarte und ist immer wieder aufladbar. jede fahrt kostet umgerechnet ungefähr 1€ und hält für eine 1h, alle 30 min kommt wieder eine minimale gebühr dazu. züge sind nie zu spät. UNIVERSITÄT: DUKSUNG WOMENS UNIVERSITY die universität liegt sehr weit oben im norden neben dem national park - es ist sehr schön da. sie ist eine frauenuniversität aber für ausländische studierende ist es möglich sich auch als mann zu bewerben. sie ist sehr schulisch und bietet kurse die sich von ihrer aufmachung sehr zu uns unterscheiden. für kunst nicht zu empfehlen, jedoch wenn das interesse an der koreanischen sprache da ist, kann man dort koreanisch lernen. ich habe dort ein halbes jahr modedesign gemacht und einen koreanisch kurs für anfänger belegt. die lehrkräfte waren sehr aufmerksam, hilfreich und zuvorkommend. ich hatte keine probleme an der universität - vorallem das büro für internationale angelegenheiten war unglaublich sweet. es gibt kurse die extra für auslandsstudierende angeboten werden, diese sind auf englisch (zum beispiel korean popculture, korean movies and culture oder korean language).

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • A Comparison of Student Activists
    A COMPARISON OF STUDENT ACTIVISTS GRADE: Middle and High School AUTHOR: John Ciferni SUBJECT: World History TIME REQUIRED: Three class periods (50 minutes) OBJECTIVES: 1. To understand the role economic, political, social and cultural changes Korea experienced under Japanese occupation between 1910-1945. 2. Students will be able to explore the themes of nationalism and activism and understand how these two concepts can lead to freedom and oppression. 3. Compare and contrast the role of female activist Yu Gwan Sun of the March 1st, 1919 movement to that of Chai Ling, a student leader during the Tiananmen Square protests. 4. Apply knowledge of student activism in Korea to other areas in the world in determining where activism can both combat and cause oppression. MATERIAL REQUIRED: Handout 1: Korea under Japanese Rule Four different colored highlighters Handout 2: March First Movement Venn diagram to compare Yu Gwan Sun to Chai Ling Handout 3: Yu Gwan-Sun Article Handout 4: Interview with Chai Ling at Tiananmen Square Handout 5: Chai Ling, former Tiananmen leader, has become a Christian. BACKGROUND or INTRODUCTION: A major focal point of many global history courses is the recurring theme of liberty vs. authority. One of the major components of this theme is the concept of activism. How often do your students ask you “Why do we need to know history?” My guess is that this happens all too often. When students learn the relevance of activism and what students have accomplished in order evoke political and social change, many may become empowered to inspire change in their local communities.
