I picked the country because I have always been interested in Korea . I have watched many movies and shows in Korean and they showed many things about themselves. For example, the food they eat, the clothes they wear, their religion, what they celebrate, their manners, etc.

Korean cuisine is mostly rice, vegetables, seafood and meats. Traditional Korean meals are named for the number of side dishes that accompany steam-cooked short-grain rice. They eat a lot of vegetables and take care of themselves really good. They have a high consumption of vegetables, moderate to high consumption of legumes and fish, and low consumption of red meat.

What is the language of the country? Does that affect other aspects of the culture? What is the healthcare system like in the country?

# data[].attributes.body
In Korea they speak Korean and they use sign language, they were influenced by both the Chinese and Japanese but, they were more influenced by the Chinese. Healthcare in South Korea is universal and funded through a combination of government subsidies, outside contributions, and tobacco surcharges. Hospitals and clinics are modern and efficient. North Korea claims to provide universal health care with a national medical service and health insurance system. It claims that health services are offered for free. Doctors cost very little because their salaries are very low.

Is there health insurance available? Are there special considerations for healthcare providers?

# data[].attributes.body
Health care in South Korea is provided by a compulsory National Health Insurance (NHI). Every person living in South Korea is eligible for this insurance, regardless of nationality or profession. The North Korean government provides free healthcare under the socialist government that Kim Il Sung implemented, famine, lack of resources and lack of education make this seem like a distant dream to most North Koreans.

3 things that I should be aware of when communicating with a Korean patient

# data[].attributes.body
1.
When it comes to greeting, Korean women will likely nod slightly over shaking hands with Western men.
2.
In Korea, it is traditionally rude to look directly into the eyes of an elder/senior/respectable person who is speaking to you, most of all, when you are getting into trouble.
3.
In South Korea, it's rude to cross your legs in the presence of other people. It's acceptable to sit with your legs straight or open a bit. Crossing your legs is seen as being lazy or disrespectful to the other person. So, try to sit up straight and keep your hands on your lap.

Is there anything that you are still unsure about? What do you hope the students reviewing your padlet will learn from it?

# data[].attributes.body
I still have some questions about the Korean Buddhism culture but, knowing that cultures are dynamic and constantly changing makes me realize that I won't have those questions anymore. I hope that my classmates understand that cultures are learned, shared, social in nature and dynamic and constantly changing. I hope that they realize that cultures won't remain the same, they will develop and evolve over time.

What did the research on the topic help you to learn? How can you make the information more understandable?

# data[].attributes.body
The research on this project made me learn the point of view of different things in the Korean Buddhism culture, made me realize that the Korean Buddhism culture differs with their own traits and have special and unique things that they celebrate that other cultures don't. All the cultures aren't the same, some cultures value somethings that other cultures don't, believe in different things, different attitudes and languages, different symbols and behaviors.
