Big Business and Policy Making in Korea -- Problems with the Chaebol
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses big business in the
Republic of Korea with a special emphasis on the role of the
chaebol (conglomerates) that have been a key factor in the
country’s businesses successes and now its business and economic
problems. The processes and problems faced by the chaebol are
indicative of the role played by big business in the Republic of
Korea. The economic crisis of the past several years has caused
business analysts, both in Korea and internationally, to more
carefully examine not only at the chaebols' bottom line but the
corporate culture and psychology upon which they are based.

Comparison of Two Immigrant Groups in Canada: South Korean and Vietnamese Communities and Integration into Canadian Society
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper comparing the immigrant communities of South Koreans and Vietnamese within Canada. The communities of South Korean and Vietnamese immigrants are vastly different in their history, culture and reasons for coming to Canada but have nevertheless experienced some of the same influences within Western society and aspects of assimilation and integration. Since a relationship was established with South Korea in the early 1960s, South Korean immigrants have been moving to Canada and live mainly in the urban areas of Toronto and Vancouver. Several Consulate Generals for the Republic of Korea (South Korea) have been established throughout Canada providing representation and aid to South Koreans within Canada. The South Korean community in Toronto has greatly influenced the culture in that city although the youth within the population have expressed a desire to fully assimilate as Westerners. Similarly, the large Vietnamese communities in the urban cities in Canada have a good official representation with over 15 member communities with a Vietnamese Canadian Federation. This federation hopes that the Vietnamese youths balance their cultural origins within their new Canadian lifestyles and while the census has recorded trends of assimilation despite this hope, stories of Vietnamese Canadians provide accounts of how many of them have incorporated their Vietnamese culture into their Western lives.

Dealing with North Korea
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing nine options that the United States has for dealing with the government of North Korea regarding North Korea’s commitment to military buildup and threatening language regarding nuclear capability. When the time comes for action regarding North Korea, the choices available to US decision-makers likely will be best left to the UN. North Korea is so hostile to the US that any US-based suggestion for resolution is likely to be rejected out of hand. None of the world can afford to merely let us “fight it out;” we must be able to arrive at compromise shortly. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
