This is a clip of Trump and Kim shaking hands at summit.
Things are excepted to be better since this meeting so lets hope that things continue
to go smoothly.
As its been made clear there are many differences between the States and Korea and that's
what were going to be talking about today.
Hey guys im court mcingley and welcome back to the Most amazing top 5.
Lets jump right into our list of the top 5 major differences between America and North
Korea.
Coming in at number 5--School- So when it comes to elementary school and middle school
Kids in both Korea and America go to school roughly around 8am- and go back home around
3 pm.
But then when it comes to high school American kids might be pretty shocked to hear this
but in Korea the students go to school at 6 am and don't leave until 6 pm.
That is crazy to me.
Thats a 12 hour day.
Ive worked 12 hour days and gone to school slash studied for 12 hours a day and its exhausting.
I couldn't imagine doing that Monday to Friday for months on end.
The Korea schools say that they do things this way because their students must study
hard before they get into college- as it is very competitive.
Which makes a lot of sense.
I know a lot of people who have been overwhelmed with the transition from high school to college
and say they wernt prepared.
So Korea pushing their kids so hard doesn't really seem like a bad thing.
The real world is a scary place so the more prepared you can be the better.
Also in Korea students have a 10 or 20 minute break after each 40 or 50 minute class- and
then an hour for lunch.
So that seems like a good amount of break time.
In America high schoolers have school from 8am to 3 or 4 pm usually and only have 5 minutes
to get from one class to the next.
Also the subjects that are at a Korean high school are relatively the same as those at
American high school aside from classes of Korean- Chinese characters and home skills.
In at number 4--Buildings- Korea is a relatively small country- so in order to house everyone
the buildings need to be high up there.
This is why Korean schools are 5 floors high- and why so many of the apartments have so
many floors.
Also the buildings are closer together due to all the high rises being out there as opposed
to places being smaller and more spread out.
This is pretty handy as Schools- academys- and stores are all in a 1 mile area from a
persons home.
Yeah that's pretty convenient.
It can literally take someone only 30 seconds to walk to the store from their building.
Now in America buildings are also high.
But in some places like Georgia for example buildings are pretty low to the ground and
they are largely spready out taking up quite a lot of space.
There by distancing other businesses.
In a lot of places in America the buildings are spread out.
At number 3--Food- Both cultures have delicious food but its pretty different.
And obviously all households are different so things im mentioning on this list may not
apply to everyone but im just saying over all these are the differences.
In Korea its common for people to have a dinner made up of rice and side dishes.
One of the most popular sides is Kimchi.
For those of you who don't know this is a healthier food option that's made up of
cabbage- onion- garlic- fish sauce- and red pepper powder.
In America a lot of the time people will have fast food such as burgers and fries.
Where as in Korea people tend to eat home cooked meals more often then not.
A grade 5 student came over from Korea to California and said that the food she was
given at the school was much different from what they gave kids at school in Korea.
In America it was a lot of meat and bread or pasta- with not many vegetables.
Where as in Korea the students are provided with carefully planned and balanced healthy
meals.
Also in Korea portion control is a thing where as in America that's pretty much becoming
non-existent with everything just growing in size.
Another noticeable difference were the drinks.
In Korea most kids are given water- and soft drinks and juices are reserved as treats-
where as in America its whats most commonly consumed by kids.
So yeah big cultural difference when it comes to food.
And one more thing- fruit is really affordable in the states.
Where as in Korea fruit is pretty expensive so its considered more of a luxury.
I personally love fruit- and its odd to think of as something we take for granted.
Coming in at number 2--Transportation- Car culture is huge in America.
In most places in America you need a car to get around- aside from big cities such as
New York where a subway can basically bring you anywhere you need to go.
When it comes to North America its extremely hard to get around unless you have a private
vehicle.
Where as in South Korea you will see some of the worlds best public transit.
However I also need to note how Korea also design and manufacture some of the worlds
best selling vehicles.
So it all depends in the area in which you live.
But in Korea the public transit is your best bet for getting around regardless.
Where as in America its only beneficial in certain cities.
In at number 1--Respect- Respect is pretty different between America and North Korea.
In North Korea its extremely important to show respect for elders.
Don't get me wrong this is important in America as well only in North Korea they take
it up a notch and do things that Americans don't.
Such as bowing heads.
When a younger person is in the presence of someone who is an elder they are expected
to slightly bow their heads.
This is to show respect.
If 2 adults come across one another they expected to both slightly bow their heads.
Also in Korea addressing an elder by their name can be considered rude.
For example in schools they call their teachers teacher instead of Mr or Mrs whatever their
last name is.
In America its become a thing where teens call their parents by their names such as
Susan or Dan instead of mom and dad.
Yeah that would never fly in Korea- that would be seen as extremely rude.
Also Just Like in America January 1st is also celebrated in Korea.
Only in Korea all of the children bow to their aunts- uncles- and grandparents while saying
Happy New Year.
This bow is also different then the everyday bow- For this day the boys kneel down on both
knees and the girls kneel down on one knee.
Where as in America hugs would be exchanged- and sometimes the whole family doesn't get
together- but instead the night is spent with friends.
On this day in Korea the relatives give the kids advice and money.
