Attitude of South Korean Men to Marriage - Assignment Example

Korean television dramas are an important element of this cultural diffusion referred to as the ‘Korean Wave’ (Onishi, 2007).

Contemporary Korean culture has made their men appear more romantic or seem to understand real love compared to men from other cultures, which explains the reason why Vietnamese and Singapore women run to them. Women love the love stories that men from these films display where they appear to end up overly happy. The women also deem that by involving themselves with Korean men, they will have the same feeling (Onishi, 2008). One significant long-term effect is that this might lead to cultural degradation because the women are rushing to intermarry with different cultures, which will, in the long run, degrade the two cultures that are involved in the matrimony.

This is because as cultures intermarry, they tend to endorse other cultures apart from theirs, thus leading to clashes between them (Onishi, 2012).
