Abstract
The paper is a discussion and analysis of the two novels "Quiet Odyssey: A Pioneer Korean Woman in America" by Mary Paik Lee and "Coming of Age in Mississippi," by Anne Moody. Specifically, the paper compares and contrasts the hardships that Mary and Anne had to overcome. The paper looks at how their struggles were similar and different. These two women at first seem quite divergent from each other in experience and culture, but after reading these two books, it is clear these women have much in common, from their experience of prejudice and hate, to their ability to create meaningful lives for themselves while sharing their experiences with others.
From the Paper
"At first glance, Asian Mary Paik Lee and Black Anne Moody could not be more different. One was an Asian immigrant who came to the country in 1905; and the other was a poor black living in the South at the height of the Civil Rights movement. Certainly, these two very different women, from far dissimilar backgrounds and generations, could have nothing in common. Yet, as the reader delves into their stories, they discover these two women have far more in common that first envisioned."

Abstract
In the United States, people tend to think of race as the primary factor in discordant human relations. In particular, the divide between black and white Americans is seen as a central one, with historical antecedent and difficult prospects for the future. In other regions of the world, however, ethnicity, religion, and tribal background are equally divisive factors.
From the Paper
"The Comfort Woman
Introduction:
In the United States, people tend to think of race as the primary factor in discordant human relations. In particular, the divide between black and white Americans is seen as a central one, with historical antecedent and difficult prospects for the future. In other regions of the world, however, ethnicity, religion, and tribal background are equally divisive factors.
In thinking about Japan and Korea, and the development of the comfort woman concept, ethnicity is an important factor. Although gender is the most salient factor, ethnicity also probably plays a role in the horrific nature of the Japanese enslavement of the Korean women."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although statistically the Korean War took more lives than the Vietnam War, the Korean War has been branded as America's "Forgotten War" because it was over-shined by two "greater" wars, the Second World War and the Vietnam War, which dragged on for more than a decade. The author points out that the Korean War is important because it (1) started the end of the communist expansion in the world, (2) laid the ground for the entry of democracy in the states in Eastern Europe and Russia and (3) began the American foreign policy of military intervention to gain or maintain security, freedom and democracy in the world resulting in a number of military conflicts which continues today. The paper describes in detail the Korean War Veterans' Memorial, adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial directly across the reflecting pool from the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial in Washington, D.C., which was dedicated in 1995 by Bill Clinton and Kim Young Sam, then presidents of the U.S. and South Korea.
From the Paper
"The symbolisms in the memorial are brilliant pictures of a war that will never be forgotten. For as long as the memorial continues to exist, the memories of a war, which advanced freedom at the cost of the lives of millions of people, will eternally be thought of and etched in the minds of guests. Moreover, this memorial also serves as a reminder that freedom, though sweet and liberating, must never be taken for granted and must certainly be forever guarded, secured and remain dear in our hearts. It must also be remembered that there are still countries in the world that do not enjoy the rights given by a true democracy. The pursuit for the expansion of democracy must certainly not be abandoned. Still, millions of people are yearning for a free, equal state where social, economic and political justice stands and endures."

Abstract
This paper presents a comparison of Korean shamanism rituals and the Korean royal ancestral rite, Jongmyo Jerye. The paper explains that the main differences between the two have to do with the (1) spirits the ritual is addressing and (2) the actual purpose for performing the ritual.
From the Paper
"Korean shamanistic rituals revolve around the central figure of the ritual, namely the shaman. A shaman, focal point of our discussion, can be defined as "a person who mediates the relation between the natural world and an animated supernatural world (spirits) for the purpose of gaining some control over or knowledge of natural events" . The presence of a person that connected the mortals and their world to supernatural spirits can be seen present in almost all ancient civilizations. Whether called a priest, a shaman or an oracle, the functions they performed were somewhat similar and were requested by the necessity of the primitive peoples to feel protected and in a relationship with the supernatural."

The Choson Dynasty and Women, 2004.
A look at the treatment of the Korean women of the Choson Dynasty from 1392 to 1910.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how, although Korean women have significantly more rights than they did in earlier history, including partaking in the government, Confucian tradition remains strong, especially in South Korea. It looks at how, when it comes to lack of freedom, the women of the Choson Dynasty from 1392 to 1910 had few parallels in the world. It explores how, for centuries, they were forced to follow a thoroughly restricted life as dictated by stringent Neo-Confucian moral standards.
From the Paper
"Prior to the introduction of the Choson Dynasty, a wedding was held in the bride's home. The new couple lived in her house to the birth of the first child and then moved to the groom?s. This was usually about a year after the marriage. During the early Choson period, however, the bride and groom had their wedding at the husband?s house, where the couple immediately established a permanent residence. Because this was such a major change from the previous cultural norm, a compromise was instead found between the old ways and those of Confucius: The wedding was held at the bride's home, but the groom only remained at the bride's home for one night. The pair then moved permanently to husband?s house."

Abstract
Examines possible reasons for US entry into the Korean War (1950-53), with reference to several political science theories, such as balance of power and public opinion theories.
From the Paper
"The most apparent theory behind the United States? involvement in the Korean War must be the balance of power theory. Russia was obviously the most threatening side in the Korean War, therefore the states aligned against the Soviet Union. The United States was resolved to contain Russian influence, and prevent threats to world peace and the independence and stability of other nations by resorting to collective security arrangements and acting through the United Nations."
