Designed to serve as an introduction to some aspects of Korean culture and civilization, this text consists largely of lectures on various topics prepared by staff members of the Defense Language Institute. The major section on the Republic of South Korea includes information on: (1) the historical setting; (2) the politico-military complex; (3) the socio-economic structure; (4) the socio-religious tradition including religion, education, kinship, the Korean house, customs, and cuisine; and (5) artistic and intellectual expression. The final unit on the People's Republic of North Korea examines the geography of North Korea, the structure of the government, party politics, foreign policy, industrial development, land reform and collectivization, the educational system, and the Armed Forces.
