South Korean Cultural Experience Part of what makes South Korea unique is the manner in which the new norms blend right in with the traditional mores. As a visitor, it may be strangely challenging to connect with the cultural activities, traditions, and standards of the local people. This feat is especially difficult in the large cities such as Seoul. One may quite easily be immersed into the modern aspects of the city. As such, the overwhelming cosmopolitan facilities, social amenities, and modernization flavors that characterize these sorts of cities may dominate the visit alienating one from the true cultural experience of the people. In my visit to Seoul, I was able to capture the utterly unique and cultural value of the Korea. From face value, one could easily tell that the city has remained solidly Korean as characterized by the adamant retention of traditional architecture amidst rapid development and modernization as well as the warming traditions of the locals. The city is key to understanding the ways of the people through their history. As alluded to in the introduction, one…

Cultural and Creative Industries – Fall XXXX Introduction – 5 points Tourism in Japan is one of the most significant pillars of rural community industrialization and revitalization. The country is rich in culture, natural beauty, and other human-made attraction centers. With such vase offerings, the sector is still experimenting on the best attractions for international tourists. The country is keen on conserving its natural resources to preserve the natural scenery. It also has various activities that tourists can enjoy. Notably, 340 of such activities are receiving government support for popularization by minimizing the tourism tax (Japanese National Tourism Organization, 2018). The Japanese government’s target is attracting 60 million foreign tourists annually (Japanese National Tourism Organization, 2018). This effort is mainly because the local tourism industry has dropped in recent times drastically. The country has extensive heritage, which has made it impossible to keep away foreign tourists, hence, the decision to maximize international tourism revenues. Both the local and national governments drive tourism in Japan, and they seem to focus on the needs of the organizations with the highest revenue collections.…

Use of Film and YouTube during War Introduction Humanity for centuries, has been fascinated in trying to capture and reenact war through painting, plays, and stories. However, entering into the 20th century, a new type of technology called film was mass-produced by the Lumiere Brothers. The film allowed war to finally be captured and preserved like no other technology before it. The point of my essay is to complicate, compare and contrast World War 1’s (WW1) use of film versus the Iraq War’s use of YouTube. I argue that YouTube is a platform used to broaden the range of video in a way that threatens the government’s control on censorship of visual media and film in times of war. YouTube has become a platform that can weaponize film and video by giving the public direct access to videos preventing government censorship.   WWI Film  WW1 (1914-1918) also known as the “Great War” was the first war in which film was used for both reporting and military use. A man by the name of Oskar Messter became famous in the war…
