    Like Japan, Korea borrowed heavily from Chinese culture since it was the most dominant culture in East Asia at that time. However, like other Asian cultures, Koreans were active transmitters of culture as well. Of note is her revelation that Korea has Siberian roots as its people married across blood lines. Even so, Koreans saw themselves as culturally superior to Chinese.

    Linda Sue Park is an author whose stories about the "Korean Robin Hood" and "Korean Cinderella" can be compared and contrasted with common elementary fables of England's Robin Hood and Cinderella stories. Students of any age can tap into prior knowledge in order to relate these familiar stories to parts of Korean culture.

    Professor Kim's resource suggestion for the book entitled, "The Memoir of 1795" has a story line that could be used to introduce Korean culture to students due to its universal themes of family, love and power.

    I have heard of Reverend Yonggi (?) Cho's Pentecostal church with its massive membership (one of the largest in the world). I have also heard reports that 80% of South Koreans claim to practice Pentecostal Christianity. It seems as though Korea, in earlier times, adhered to Christianity strongly, but for North Korea, the tenants of Communism discouraged the practice thereof. What I learned from Professor Kim's lecture is that Christianity was integrated into indigenous Shamanism.
