Factoring in the trajectory of Korean history, the authors chart the rapid economic growth of Korea and the ways in which this has significantly improved Koreans' material living standards. The book shows that despite the Cold War and inter-Korean confrontation, active citizen participation has institutionalized democracy in Korea. A society once characterized by strong familial ties and patriarchal verticality has shifted to a more horizontal structure with diverse values. Transitions from agricultural to industrial and information societies have occurred within one or two generations. Rapid aging is another critical issue, with Korea experiencing one of the fastest aging trends globally. The shift toward a multicultural society challenges the traditional identity of Koreans based on a single ethnicity. Against this backdrop, this book seeks to capture the characteristics of changing Korean society and the people living in it, based on the concept of social identity that an individual's evaluation is not just a temporary personal feeling or prejudice but a cultural product. It allows for an objective analysis of a society or its cultural characteristics by measuring social identity. The first part of the book introduces the concept of social identity and presents analysis results in several fields. The second examines changes in the values and attitudes of representative Koreans. The third part discusses the social problems and tasks created by the changes in various values and attitudes. Finally, the last section explores concrete measures to overcome these problems and aim for social integration in future and emphasizes elements that enhance social trust and integration. It is relevant to sociologists and scholars working across various social science dimensions focused on Korea. 606 $aSociology 606 $aCulture 606 $aReligions 606 $aEast Asia 606 $aIdentity politics 606 $aSex 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aCultural geography 606 $aSociology 606 $aSociology of Culture 606 $aEast Asian Religions 606 $aIdentity Politics 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aSocial and Cultural Geography 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aReligions. 615 0$aEast Asia. 615 0$aIdentity politics. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aCultural geography. 615 14$aSociology. 615 24$aSociology of Culture. 615 24$aEast Asian Religions. 615 24$aIdentity Politics. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aSocial and Cultural Geography. 676 $a301 700 $aLee$b Myoung-Jin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01802816 702 $aChoi$b Ji-Young$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910992786803321 996 $aKoreans' Social Identity$94349065 997 $aUNINA
