The illustrations by K. Wendy Popp were somber and One Candle, with a photographic quality that was quite intense at times. But somehow, although I acknowledge the virtues of the book, and was moved by it, I simply didn't feel as much of an emotional connection as I'd expected. Perhaps I read it at the wrong time? In any case, One Candle is still a book I'd recommend to those looking to explore, with children, the "presence of One Candle past" in a family's life, particularly at the One Candle.

They worked One Candle the kitchens, preparing food for the officers while they went hungry. Despite the great danger of doing so, she smuggled out a bit of margarine and a potato, and used those items and a bit of string to create a candle to light for Hanukkah. And each year with her family, she would retell the story of that time and recreate the hollowed-out potato candle.

Kemunculan dan Perkembangan Hallyu Kemunculan Korea Selatan sebagai negara yang memproduksi budaya populer tidak langsung serta merta dalam kemunculannya. Sebagai negara yang terlibat perang dengan Korea Utara, Korea Selatan tentunya mengalami berbagai kehancuran akibat dampak perang. Peperangan yang dialami oleh Korea Selatan inilah yang membuka sedikit ruang dalam perkembangan industri hiburan Korea Selatan yang saat ini semakin mengokohkan dirinya. Sejarah mencatat Korea Selatan terlibat perang hingga melibatkan bantuan militer dari dunia Internasional. Korea Selatan mengalami masa kependudukan Jepang pada tahun 1910 -1945 dan perang Korea antara utara dan selatan yang berlangsung pada tahun 1950 – 1953. Adanya pasukan militer asing yang masuk ke Korea Selatan menyebabkan unsur-unsur asing yang memasuki Korea Selatan seperti masuknya agama baru hingga sampai jenis musik asing yang diadopsi. Sebelumnya, Korea yang masih bersifat tradisional penuh dengan pengaruh Buddha, Konfusius, dan pengaruh Tiongkok. Prajurit asing di Korea Selatan membawa masuk pengaruh jenis musik baru di Korea Selatan. Musik Korea Selatan mulai dipengaruhi oleh musik musik—American folk, lush ballads, rock, French chansons, Italian canzone; musik Latin, Cuban, dan Japanese enka1 Perjalanan Korean wave sebagai budaya populer yang menjadi komoditas global melalui perjalanan panjang.

Namun, justru pasca krisis moneter itulah industri hiburan Korea Selatan dapat bangkit. Di awal berdirinya Korea Selatan sebagai negara, industri hiburan sama sekali tidak mendapat ruang gerak yang bebas, justru lebih dikendalikan oleh pemerintah.

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.

  • Discourses of English As an Official Language in a Monolingual Society: the Case of South Korea
    DISCOURSES OF ENGLISH AS AN OFFICIAL LANGUAGE IN A MONOLINGUAL SOCIETY: THE CASE OF SOUTH KOREA OK KYOON YOO Simwon Middle School INTRODUCTION With the advent of globalization, the emergence of new national and international orders has posed linguistic challenges at various levels. Three competing trends—homogenization, heterogenization, and hybridization—are reshaping language situations within and between nations. At a national level, in some Western multilingual countries, linguistic justice has been increasingly argued for by minority groups, whether indigenous or immigrant, against the centripetal forces of the ideology of ‘one nation one language’, as is clear in the recent English- only movement in the US. In the multilingual third world, many countries have been struggling to create linguistic identities out of their ethnic languages and former colonizers’ languages. On the other hand, at a global level, the phenomenal spread of English is considered by some to be a major threat to other ethnic languages in the world and by others to facilitate participation in international communications. In this context, South Korea has recently witnessed recurrent proposals for English as an Official Language (EOL) as a language policy for meeting the demands of globalization. In response, another competing force, nationalism, has formed strong reactions to these proposals, thereby opening up heated debates in the media and publications. Considering that South Korea is a ‘monolingual’ society, not a ‘multilingual one’, that enjoys a very high degree of congruity as a speech community (Coulmas, 1999) and that it is an Expanding Circle country (Kachru, 1989), where English is learned as a ‘foreign’ language, the proposal for EOL in South Korea is an extreme case that focuses only on the need for international communications without critical consideration of its potential effects on domestic language situations.
