Korean problems in the US

At present, many Korean people live in the US, and many Korean people, who live in Korea, want to go to the US also, I came in the US to study. However, almost all Korean people have many problems while they live in the US. It is natural about that because of different cultures, foods, and environment. Now, I am going to discuss what problems are and how to solve about the problems. And I hope that you recognize about Korean’s problems and then it progress relationship between American and Korean after you read it.
First, Korean does not have confidence in the US, so they have many trouble to live. After 9/11, the US government strengthened social system about international people because of terror. Therefore, Korean did not get SSN (social security number) from the US government. However, we know that it is hard to live in the US to the person, who does not have SSN. For example, the car is the most important requirement in the US, so Korean has to buy a car when they came the US. However, although a car is too expensive, Korean had to pay whole price. I mean Korean cannot divide pay every month because we do not have confidence. Also, let’s see about the drive license. Since 2004, international people did not get a drive license because of SSN. There is one consolation in sadness that after 2005, international people could get drive license because we could get the letter instead of SSN from the government. However, it still has a problem that the drive license cannot valid for identification because this letter said, “This person can take a drive test even he does not have a SSN.” Another example, if Korean buy a cell phone, we have to buy prepay phone, also we do not get many advantages from the company of cell phone. There are so many packages about a charge, but we cannot choice about that because we do not have a confidence. Therefore, it is hard to live in the US to international people include Korean, who do not have a SSN. It is a great solution that US government should guarantee at least to live in the US to Korean
Second, I think that some American has some stereotypes about Korean. Some American thinks that Korean cannot speak English well or Korean cannot work well. In my case, when I went to the airport in Chicago, I didn’t know where the airport is, so I asked an American how to go to the airport. However, he didn’t answer to me even he didn’t try to hear what I am saying. Also, it is hard to get a job to Korean include international people. In my friend’s case, my friend wanted to work in the American company, so he took an interview test. After, he would compete with another American interviewee. However, although he had the same background with another interviewee, and he is native speaker, my friend could not success to win because of Asian. On the other hand, there is a strange problem to me. Although many young American guys like Asian girls, almost all young American girls do not want to be Asian guy’s fiancée. Therefore, making young American girl friend is difficult to Korean guys. However, it cannot be true and this trouble is the problem long time ago because I have some great American girl friends, and American helped me when I had a trouble last time. Also I know that the present time, many American are changing their thinking about Korean people. However, we still need help from American, therefore, the US government should try to change thinking about Korean stereotypes to American.
Third, I hope American have to understand and recognize Korean culture. For example, most American worries about the war between North Korea and South Korea. However, we are the same nation from history. We do not want to get the war each other anymore, and we want to be one country not a divided country. Another example, after we had the Korea War, many people had to find some food. Korea is small country, so we could not breed many cows. Therefore, a dog is great food to find easily on the street. Eating dog is just Korean food’s culture, and a dog was the most important food to Korean. And now, a dog becomes also the most important friend to Korean. Some people enjoy eating a dog, but I never shameful think because it is our momentous culture and sad history. I mean that some American criticizes about eating a dog, but it is natural that many countries have a special culture. Therefore, criticizing about other’s culture is egoism thinking. And American include another country’s people have to understand and recognize Korean culture, also Korean, too. Moreover, American think that Korean is more extreme that any other Asian because Korean had a many demonstration to Korean government for a short time and many people got hurt when Korean government was not perfect. Actually, some Korean is a sanguine temperament people, but Korean usually is gentle, meek, and pure people.
In conclusion, it is natural that not only Korean but also international people have problems to American or the US, but American can solve these problems if they try to solve it for international and Korean people. Many young people think that America is dream country and they want to study or work in the US because they want to realize their own dream. Many people think that America is the number one country about numerical things such as economy, weapon, and the others, but they don’t think that American is not yet real the best country. When America and International country help each other, American can be the real best country.
