Sookan's experience on Cultural Differences: Korea v.s. U.S

In Korea
1. Marriage is decided by the elders and young girls does not talk about it or decide it themselves. 
2. Young children are expected to respect more and fulfill what the elders' order and wishes on them. 
3. Women is expected to be serving meals and doing house works for men without doubt. 
4. Sookan and Korean teenagers would not get paid for babysitting their neighbor's children. 
5. Korean most likely would want to pay for a whole group of friends when going out for meals. 

In the U.S.
1. Marriage is often talked about and can be decided in one's own, for example, Ellen wanted to marry her boyfriend. 
2. Children dares more to do what they want with more open minded family, for example, Marci wanted to do something else she wanted rather than what her father and sister liked. 
3. Even men works in the kitchen and helps women on house workshop for example, professor Bennett cooking a meal for his family. 
4. Sookan got paid for babysitting professor's children. 
5. Sookan and Ellen pays separately (divided into two.)
