I am new to forums, but I was hoping to get some help for an assignment I am doing for school. I am planning on being a teacher (preferably high school). I was supposed to learn about another culture that I will encounter in the schools I will be teaching in, and I noticed there have been many Koreans moving into our area of Southern California. I have been looking online for information, but am unable to find specifics regarding some of the cultural views of Korean Americans. Would any Korean-Americans be willing to give me some insight on issues such as your roles in society, child-rearing practices, your family values, and the relationship between the generations? Thank you in advance for any info you can give me. I will be typing this paper up tomorrow.

It is not for students...I am the student! Is there any one else out there who is willing to help me with some serious responses? If not, no worries, I can easily walk into any of the many businesses around here and speak face to face with respectable human beings. I just thought I could get more responses through the internet.

At this point, I would appreciate responses from anyone who is willing to share their experiences. Chinese American is fine also. Thanks.

isn't your paper due in a couple hours?

you're screwed.

but i'll give you this: tao was trying to clue you in on the fact that we are not a culturally homogeneous society.
korean americans/asian americans have diff experiences, values, aspirations, etc.
we all eat a shit load of rice, tho.
