I'm grateful to my woman nurture for the fact that our household unit of measurement keeps upwards many Korean traditions. The province of affairs amongst the assimilation as well as acculturation of ethnic Korean people inward Russian Federation worries me. I've spoken amongst a position out of ethnic Korean Russians inward the older generation, as well as they are all worried nearly the rapid assimilation of the younger generation as well as its reluctance to plough over due attending to many Korean traditions.
Although I am both Korean as well as Russian, it seems to me that it's really of import to recollect my Korean ancestors, every bit these are our roots that define ourselves. It's also really of import to forbid the dissolution of the Korean people as well as Korean traditions. We take away to instruct the younger generation nearly our traditions inward companionship to recollect the history of Korea as well as the Korean people: our grandparents.
Finally, I desire to recommend a vocal this week, too. Please learn take away heed to the vocal "Dawn" yesteryear the popular grouping Needle&Gem (니들앤젬).
