CRITICAL THINKING
In Korea, family is very valuable. Koreans always put families first before anything else. They also have the pressure of making their families proud in subjects such as education and their jobs. Koreans have also taught their children to not only respect the elders but anyone older than they are as there are terms in Korea used.
