Is my country a civilization?



A few month ago, I learned characteristics of the civilization of the Sumerian. There were 7 characteristics of civilization. It's stable food supply, social structure, government, religion, arts, technology and writing. So, I will see if my country is civilization or not.



Religion :
There are some of the religion in my country. The two examples of religion are Buddhism, Christianity and Catholicism.

You can see the church a lot of places but you have to go to the special place to see the temples like right picture.

The majority takes Buddhism and Christianity as their religion and Buddhism has been the most popular one since its first way into Korea in A.D. 372. There are many beautiful historical temple buildings in Korea.








Technology :

There are many technologies in Korea. Shipbuilding, construction, car, mobile phone and IT. My country is powerful country of IT so Korea's internet speed is much faster than many other many countries include Malaysia. You can see a lots of the computer, TV and many other electronic products. Samsung and LG have become world brand from Korea. Korea exports a lot of cars to the worlds and we can find Hyundai and KIA easily in Malaysia and Singapore. 



Stable food supply :
In my country, we have stable food supply. We have rice, radish, cabbage and some other food supply. We cook the meal with the vegetables, beef, pork and fruit with some of appetizer. We get food supply from the farm, orchard and the other place. The farmers produce the.

Government :
Every country have a government. Government make the laws for the people to keep rules and they collected the taxes to give salary to public officials and for the government. They protect the people and negotiation with the other country for them and people. Under the president, there are member of the National assembly.



Writing :
We use language for speaking, reading and writing. They learn their own language and the other language from the other country. The king Sejong in ancient Korea create the language called 'Hun-min-jeong-eum.' Later, the language changed a bit.













Arts :
There is art in my country such as painting and music. Korean usually paints animals, nature and working people. Many archeologists have found that Koreans love to drink, sing and dance. Various pieces of drawn arts had been found from ancient tombs all around the country and their painting motives are also varies from dragons to their daily lifestyle. In the meantime, they made very beautiful porcelain potteries. 



social structure :
There are no social structure in Korea because now, everyone is equal of course there are many different jobs. There are government servants, business men, fishermen, farmers, rubbers, bank gangsters, policemen, soldiers, scientists, professor and ETC. There were kings in Korean history but, there's no more monarch in modern democratic.
