This is exactly what you want this type of book to be. Oct 19, Mr. However, under Japanese rule, many Korean resources were only utilized for Japan. Published on Nov 29, Japanese articles focused on business news, specifically "the stagnant Pusan trade" in rice and other farmed goods, which fluctuated wildly with weather conditions and the whims of the tax-levying elite class. Lists with This Book. Communist literature was effectively banned in Korea at this time, but it was sometimes smuggled into the country disguised as Christian literature, often addressed to missionaries to further avoid suspicion.

The Japanese government helped to mobilize resources for development and provided entrepreneurial leadership for these new enterprises. As the labor shortage increased, by , the Japanese authorities extended the provisions of the National Mobilization Law to include the conscription of Korean workers for factories and mines on the Korean peninsula, Manchukuo , and the involuntary relocation of workers to Japan itself as needed. It was designed to open up Korea to Japanese trade, and the rights granted to Japan under the treaty were similar to those granted Western powers in Japan following the visit of Commodore Perry in The most affecting part for me was reading of the kindness and friendships that passed between Koreans and Japanese despite the brutality of the Japanese occupation. The stories contained in Under the Black Umbrella complicate not only the neat picture of colonial life in Korea but colonial situations more generally.

Attitudes that the Korean harbored toward their Japanese subjugators, both negative and positive, embroider the tapestry Kang weaves of the everyday life that many residing on the peninsula endured over this period.

Nationalism and social reform struck a chord among the peasant guerrillas, and Donghak spread all across Korea. Communist concepts, such as class struggle, and its partner nationalist movement were resonating well with some of the peasants and lower-class citizens of colonial-era Korea; this was worrying to some missionaries because of communism's atheist components.

  • Imperialism (1800-1914) the Industrialized Nations Embarked Upon a Competition for Overseas Empires That Had Profound Implications for the Entire World
    Bringing Korea in to the Classroom: Lesson Plan Name: Dan Harris Lesson Title: The Consequences of Western Imperial Policy in Asia: A Comparison of the Treaty of Kangwha (1876) to the Treaty of Kanagawa (1854) Time Range: 1-2 class periods (approximately 60 minutes) Ohio Standards: Imperialism (1800-1914) The industrialized nations embarked upon a competition for overseas empires that had profound implications for the entire world. This “new imperialism” focused on the underdeveloped world and led to the domination and exploitation of Asia, Africa and Latin America Ohio Benchmarks: 11. Imperialism involved land acquisition, extraction of raw materials, the spread of Western values, and maintenance of political control. 12. The consequences of imperialism were viewed differently by the colonizers and the colonized Grade Level Indicators: History 9 Introduction/Lesson Summary: Emerging on the tail end of the Age of Industrialization (19th Century), the Age of Imperialism (1800-1914) saw the globalization of Western policies, culture, and economics. This was seen as progress by the Western nations and was heralded as the key to “modernizing” the global marketplace. As more nations took part in this global scramble for markets of goods and resources, lesser-developed nations began taking up similar practices as a means of coping (if not competing) with the Imperial powers. According to Asia for Educators: Imperialism: Western and Japanese By the mid-nineteenth century Korea was one of the last Asian holdouts against Western imperialism, which had conquered much of southern Asia and was making inroads on China. Vietnam, which like Korea was a close tributary state to China, had been conquered by the French in the 1860s.

  • Mr. Akio Komatsu Is President of the Human, Nature and Science Institute Foundation in Japan Which Is Working for the Creation of "Wa"(Harmony/Peace) Culture
    Interview: Mr. Akio Komatsu is President of the Human, Nature and Science Institute Foundation in Japan which is working for the creation of "wa"(harmony/peace) culture. Q1: Mr. Komatsu, you have been working for international peace for some twenty years. What caused you to work for this goal, not as a politician or a social activist, but as a businessman? A1: After graduating from a technical high school, I worked for eight years developing agricultural machinery. By using deductive, dialectical and inductive methods, I learned how to proceed from inspiration to reality. But my company went bankrupt when I was twenty-six, which caused me to re-evaluate my life. I took a month to sit in Zen meditation and realized that only thing we human beings can be sure of in life is our ultimate death. In contemplation my thinking turned toward how to design my life, face my death and ask myself what I would leave behind when I'm gone. After that, for two years in Osaka I practiced small business, and then went back to Shimane. Shimane is well known in Korea as the prefecture where the observance of Takeshima Day originated. There, with my brother, I started a pump-repairing and electrical parts assembling plant. With our family-company of thirty workers we tried to catch up with and surpass the only electric control-distribution board company in our area. When I was thirty-two I took my first trip abroad and visited Korea, which was then under martial law. While sharing a taxi at night, I got into some trouble because of my Japanese nationality.

Signed: ___________________________________ I.D No: 10142886 Date: Monday 10th November 2014 2 Abstract This thesis aims to provide a new perspective on the development of South Korea’s Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) Business Environment by taking a cross-disciplinary look at the area. Most studies on this subject have tended to remain within the boundaries of a single discipline. In this study, an interdisciplinary approach is taken to trace more of the paths that have influenced the development. This will provide a better understanding of the area and this insight should make it easier for any prospective organisation hoping to enter the Korean market to be successful. In little over two generations, South Korea has transformed from being one of the poorest countries in the world into a global business leader. Currently, Information Technology products are at the forefront of exports from the country and the world’s largest electronics company hails from a city just south of Seoul.

  • The Education Movement of the Royal Family of the Empire of Great Han and Myeongshin Girls’ School* 1
    The Education Movement of the royal family of the Empire of Great Han and Myeongshin Girls’ School* 1 Suhwa Yuk Seoul National University, South Korea Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine various aspects of the civilization policy and education movement of King Gojong, who tried to protect independence through the modernization of the Empire of Great Han (1897~1910) and to trace the establishment process and spirit of Myeongshin girls’ school, which was estab- lished and supported by the royal family. This study will give readers an oppor- tunity to reconsider their perspective of King Gojong, which has been distorted by Japan, and to grasp a better idea of how the royal family supported the na- tional salvation movement through education. King Gojong demonstrated his will for enlightenment by often signing protective trading treaties with powers of the West despite violent opposition by the con- servatives in the cabinet against his opening policy after 1880, and by emphasizing that education is the basis for the preservation of state through his “national salva- tion movement through education.” Gojong sought to establish a modern educa- tional system, thus positively promoting the project of educational modernization and the educational project through missionaries. Myeongshin girls' school was a royal women’s school established by Wunheon Hwang-gwibi, the wife of the king, in order to educate and train elite persons to restore the sovereignty of the state. Even though it was established based on the Japanese noble women’s school as a model, the school actively and continuously participated in the protest movement against Japan with an outstanding sense of sovereignty and patriotism against the colonization of Korea.

ABSTRACT This study attempts to explain why ALL of South Korean presidents, without exception and notwithstanding their individual major contributions to the process of Korea’s development, have fallen victim to disgraceful downfalls. For the analysis, I employ S.N. Sangmpam’s middle-range theory that establishes a causal link between society-rooted politics and political outcomes. Building on his analytical frameworks that non-Western countries are characterized by over-politicization in politics as a function of social context, I argue that patterned downfalls of all Korean presidents are an institutional outcome of over-politicization in Korean politics, which is itself a function of not fully entrenched capitalist society. In support of my thesis, I test three hypotheses. Hypotheses one and two posit Korea’s tenacious traditional and cultural traits as an internal modifier of capitalism and the nation’s dependent nature of its relationships with the United States and Japan as an external factor that prevented capitalist entrenchment in Korean society.

Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Dr. Joanne Hershfield Dr. Ken Hillis Dr. Lawrence Grossberg Dr. Mark Driscoll Dr. Guo-Juin Hong ©2011 Young Eun Chae ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Screening the Past: Historiography of Contemporary South Korean Cinema, 1998-2008 (Under the direction of Joanne Hershfield) This dissertation examines cinematic representations of history on contemporary South Korean screen and the practices of film historiography in South Korea during a decade of democratic regimes are the subjects of this study. Between 1998 and 2008, during two liberal presidencies, the Korean film industry flourished and some of the most critical and traumatic events in the past were re-visited and re-visioned in popular films. 2009 Lost Memories and Hanbando employ alternative re-writings of the past, present, and future to portray the experiences of Japanese colonial occupations. The Korean War is re-examined in a more ambiguous and critical light in Taegukgi: The Brotherhood of War and Welcome to Dongmakgol, while Peppermint Candy and Splendid Vacation strive for capturing people‘s history, not an officially imposed version of History, in telling of the Gwangju Democratization Movement. As complex social constructions, the films analyzed in this dissertation reveal that South Koreans are finally able to ruminate on their past in a less simplistic and more complex manner without censorship.

This study classifies portrait halls as either official or informal, depending on their inclusion in or exclusion from the official state rites and goes on to discern the different features and functions of specific portrait halls through in-depth investigation of the ritual goods used therein and the interior settings and adornment of the halls. By distinguishing repositories, where portraits were not formally worshipped, from portrait halls, it also offers case studies of portraits in the repositories and illuminates their original function and distinctive character in form and style.
