Heck, even the sexual liberation of Korean culture can be directly attributed to westernism. Why don't you call THAT "western propaganda"? You are sure Buddhism didn't influence Korea?

There are a TON of western ideals that have already changed Korean culture, more so than even you can imagine. no doubt.........shame that accepting dogs as real family members is not one of them.

Beauty in this world is propagandized by western culture. Its called racism......idolizing one race over another There are a TON of western ideals that have already changed Korean culture, more so than even you can imagine. Beauty is just one of them. None of this is "western propaganda." That's silly talk, and it demeans both the meaning of the word "propaganda" as well as the positive aspects of western culture such as individual rights. Of course, its propaganda...........much like N. Koreans are convinced they can destroy the US and have no idea how far behind the rest of the world they are so is much of the world convinced that the white race is the epitome of beauty whose features are those to which all should aspire. Its why Michael Jackson spent a small fortune modifying his nose and eyes and bleaching his skin; why J.Timber and black women straighten their hair; why brown eyed people wear blue contacts; why women dye their blond etc. So many of us have been so propagandized we don't question the notion that whites are the most beautiful race. So its not silly talk........but rather its brainwashing...........the constant stream of movies, videos and commercials......depicting whites as the ideal. There was a time when people of color were never in commercials. When the first blacks started appearing in commercials, the general population were questioned on their reaction. Most whites AND blacks never noticed that blacks were not included in commercials until casting of blacks actually happened.. That's how powerful the teevee/movie/print media is. Denial ain't a river in Egypt. Heck, even the sexual liberation of Korean culture can be directly attributed to westernism. Why don't you call THAT "western propaganda"? Because I wasn't talking about liberation...........I was talking about the measure of beauty as defined in this world.
