ABSTRACT

This paper examines the Korean society through the lens of a 'thoughtlessness' phenomenon being widely observed in Japan. The term, 'thoughtlessness' used in this paper does not literally mean stopping thinking and instead means acting without critical thinking to achieve goals no matter how they are irrational, illogical. Through the research, we find a strongly identical 'thoughtlessness' phenomenon in both Japanese and Korean society. Japanese people tend to thoughtlessly stick to outmoded ways that they have been doing to maintain their national identification; Koreans show the growing tendency of being 'thoughtlessness' when they try to achieve the goals of moving up in the social class and winning success and fame.
