They have gone from a third world economy, and dictatorship of sorts 50 years ago, to a vibrant progressive society, and the 11th largest GDP in the country and put two presidents in jail.
And in the book," the birth of Korean Cool" the author says it is because they are the intellectual gladiators of the world.
And they go too far with their educational demands on the kids IMO, e.g. beating them when they get lower than A's, but at the same time, the author says their great growth and social evolution was do to their being so highly educated.

So can we explain Korea not getting Nobel prizes or the utter doltishness of some of the Mensa people? Korea has a culture of deference to authority - look at the KAL 801 history. How do you measure that?
A sensible car purchase is a balance of utility, passenger experience, noise, acceleration, braking and fuel economy. Looking at one parameter is illogical and certainly not an indication of "utter smartness". You remain unconvinced - I get it.
We see the world differently. |
