82. Extraordinarily High Rates Of Male Circumcision In South Korea: History And Unde Although circumcision in south korea has been strongly influenced by American culture, it has never been predominantly neonatal. http://www.cirp.org/library/cultural/pang1/

BJU INTERNATIONAL, Volume 89: Pages 48-54, January 2002. Extraordinarily high rates of male circumcision in South Korea: history and underlying causes M.G. PANG and D.S. KIM* GenDix, Inc. and Institute of Reproductive Medicine and Population, and *School of Physics, Seoul National University Seoul, South Korea Objective To investigate the high circumcision rate in South Korea and its rapid increase in the short period since its introduction. Subjects and methods From January to December 2000, 5434 South Korean males (or their parents) aged 0-92 years were interviewed in detail about their circumcision status, their age at circumcision, and the possible effect of circumcision on their sexuality. In addition, 267 practising medical doctors were surveyed about their basic understanding of circumcision and phimosis. Results but a man was twice as likely to have experienced diminished sexuality rather than improved sexuality. Of the doctors who were surveyed, 41% carried out circumcision but, unlike in America gynaecologists and paediatricians rarely did so. Among the factors contributing to the high circumcision rate was the mistaken notion held by both doctors and the general public that circumcision is directly correlated with industrialization and general progress of living standards. Many doctors believe the out-dated and sometimes controversial benefits of circumcision, i.e. prevention of cervical cancer and sexually transmitted diseases, and improved sexuality. Thus the vast majority of doctors recommend circumcision regardless of the patient's age Peer pressure was also an important contributing factor.

CULTURAL IDENTITY. south korea s homogeneous population shares a common ethnic, cultural, and linguistic heritage. National http://reference.allrefer.com/country-guide-study/south-korea/south-korea69.html

You are here allRefer Reference South Korea History ... South Korea South Korea CULTURAL IDENTITY South Korea's homogeneous population shares a common ethnic, cultural, and linguistic heritage. National self-image is, on one level, unambiguously defined by the convergence of territorial, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural identities (see Population , this ch.). Yet intense feelings of nationalism, so evident in athletic events like the 1986 Asian Games and the 1988 Olympic Games held in Seoul, revealed anxiety as well as pride concerning South Korea's place in the world. More than Western peoples and even more than the Japanese, South Korean individuals are inclined to view themselves as a tightly knit national community with a common destiny. In a rapidly changing world, however, it is often difficult for them to define exactly what being a South Korean is. To outsiders, the intense concern with identity is perhaps difficult to understand; it reflects a history of subordinate relations to powerful foreign states and the tragedy of national division after World War II. Many modernized, urban-dwelling South Koreans embark on a search for the "essence" of their culture, which commonly expresses itself as hostility to foreign influences. For example, the poet Kim Chi-ha, whose opposition to the Park regime in the 1970s was a model for a younger generation of dissidents, attacked the government as much for its neglect of traditional values as for its antidemocratic tendencies.
