The korean wedding Culture

In my country, Korea, has unique wedding culture. In early 1900s, the western culture started to come into Korea. At that time, the number of Korean people who had western style wedding had increased. After the Korean War, in 1960s, people was trying to go back to our traditional. Finally, Korean wedding culture like as now we doing shows up. It has mixed with traditional way and westerns. They have celebrate eve right before the wedding day. In the evening, groom and his friends bring a big box containing wedding presents of bridegroom to bride. The bride's friends welcome them, and they are having a party at the bride's home. In the wedding day, they have western wedding march with a white wedding dress and a tuxedo. After the march, they have a simple traditional event with Korean wedding dress.

Journal Entry # 10

Today, I was selected as a possible juror (someone who performs jury duty). However, the court decided that they already had enough jurors. Part of me wishes that I could have participated in the case to see what it is like in the courtroom. However, part of me is glad that I don't have to miss class (because of my wonderful students and also the money).

In America, the legal system includes lawyers, judges, and jurors. How does the legal system work in your country? Who decides whether a person is innocent or guilty?

The Legal System In Korea

Every country has their own legal system which is based on their history and social. My country has also our special legal system. There are the supreme court, high court, district court and domestic relations court. There are defendant, prosecutor and witnesses and counsels for both of them. It doesn't have jurors like as U.S's one. If prosecutor or defendant, who has lose a suit, wants to appeal, then they will be forwarded to higher court.

What Is a Friend?

While we are living our life, we have met numerous people by providence. Sometimes they have became our friends but sometimes not. There is one of Korean proverbs about friendship. It is "A person who has true friends at least 3 people, he or she got successful life". In my opinion, a friend is the air. When I am staying with my friends, I don't have to worry about what am I talking or how do I behave for them. Instead, we are just feeing each other, and we are laughing when we happy or crying when we sad. Thus how do I live without the air? As second, true friends can say truth for each other. If I am trying to do something as a wrong way, there is no one who can take me to right way except for my friend. For the last, there has to be trust between friends. Even though no one help me or trust me, if I have my friend who sincerely believe me, that is enough for me. I could overcome that I have to do, and my life will be blessed if my true friends will stand by me like as now they do.
