Two Sides 2 College

Book Summary This book is designed to help college students understand that there are two sides to college. In college you are supposed to, get good grades, graduate, and go work for the best company, organization, or business that will pay you the most money and give you the best benefits. That is only one side of college. The other side of college is increasing your knowledge about the world, exploring your talents and perfecting your craft. This can easily be done by having the right mindset from the beginning of your freshman year.

This book explores two contradictory aspects of the Korean culture: competitiveness and collectivism. These two major concepts describe the dynamics of Korean public organizations, which explain the Hangang River Economic Miracle and political democratization. However, not many studies have focused on how competition within the central government, that is, competition among different agencies, has led to an overall competitive government. This book attempts to do so and explains how competition contributed to the rapid economic growth of Korea.
