sport.

people with the social reality of multiculturalism. Change and public opinion

Applying past models and understanding how Koreans and Foreigners can
interact using sport can aid in the broader picture of Koreas divelopment

- Conceptualisation
- Korea has been referred to as the"hermit kingdom" before its rapid development. Due
to imperialism sports such as soccer have taken root in Korea. Sport was utilized to
foster nationalism, pride, and as a means of self for preservation during Japan
colonization rule. During Koreas rapid development, Nationalism and military might
through sport evoked National motivation and helped propel Korea to economic
independence and success. However as Korea has grown foreign influence has also
increased. This has led to a new era in South Koreas development of multiculturalism.
Sport has been used to unify, Understand, and even woke nationalistic pride among
varying ethnic groups and minorities in other parts of the world. Can The usage of
sports be used to help Koreans and foreigners find common ground. Intrinsic and
conservative values of the older generation versus more liberal and independent
thought must also be analyzed to answer the purpose of this dissertation.
