Lernziel:
We study various economic topics of South and North Korean economies’ development history with fun! Examples of this class’s topics are development of North and South Korean economy, history of both economies after WWII, trade between North and South Korean economy, each country’s export and import, south Korea’ Chaebol like Samsung and Hyundai, and each economy’s current situation. For better understanding Korean economic issues, sometimes we need to employ economic concepts like GDP, inflation, unemployment, interest rate, and etc. When we meet new economic concepts like above, I will review back grounds of these concepts. So do NOT scared of economics yet!
Also during the semester, I hope you become familiar with Korean economic issues along with global economic issues in various media sources, newspapers, news magazines, news programming, etc.
