Introduction

Coming from a Korean background and culture, I have always had an interest for the Asian-Americans living in the United States. Having experienced both of the two worlds, I wanted to observe the differences in the two cultures and how Asian-Americans adapt to these cultural differences as they make their living in the states. Generally, Asia is restricted and conformed by laws and rules of society. Few changes may have occurred in the previous years by studying American and European values, yet the differences between the West and the East continue to remain embedded in society.

The curiosity starts here, where people start to question how Asian-Americans, more specifically Korean-American elders, react to the changes in the United States as well as the advancing modern world, which is filled with new technologies and ideas. After being educated and raised in Korea where many conservative views circulate, the elders must face some difficulties adjusting to such differences. These changes are not only cultural differences, but also the quickly advancing technologies and societal transitions. By studying new researches and articles on these matters, this blog aims to discover how and what the elders respond or refuse to do in modern America.
