AB - Korea and Paraguay are two very different nations, each with rich
culture and traditions. Each has its own history and way of seeing and
comprehending reality. If we were to make comparisons of the peoples
of these two countries, cultural differences would arise very openly, since
here we come face to face with two worlds that function in different
ways. As human beings that they are there are many traits that identify
both societies, of course, but there is bound to be an enormous amount
of cultural aspects that make them interestingly different. Those
differences can motivate very easy and quick opinions, such as “They’re
so lazy!” or “They don’t know how to enjoy life!”, one group judging
the other just by what it is seen and without taking into consideration
the numerous factors that shape the mind and actions of the other group
and make that particular society be the way it is. It is only within a spirit
of cultural empathy that the most striking differences can be accepted
and tolerated, when each group tries to put itself in the place of the other
and experience life from the other’s perspective.
