SKCOMPARE+AND+CONTRAST

= = = = = = =Similarities=

With the explanation of the three countries, one may find many similarities from broad subject to a small little detail.

For example, the Internet Cafés of China and PC Bang of Korea are very similar, almost identical in the purpose.

Many of the leisure activities such as NRB from Korea was originally developed from Japan's Kareoke, also.

Although Korea's NRB was originally influenced by Japan, it had become more advanced in Korea from the popularity of the teenagers.

Like these examples, there are many more inter wound parts of culture form the three major nations.

However, one of the main similarities that I have found among the three countries include the importance of Fashion for all teenagers.

The teenagers of the three countries have shaped their hang out places and cultures from the fashion that they follow.

For example, Japanese Gals lead the teenagers to Shibuya to shop and hang out, Chinese to shopping malls to spend leisure times shopping, and Korea to Dong Dae Moon for cheap but fashionable clothes.

Maybe caused by the geographically close relationships, the three countries share the same principles or little details from one another in teenage culture.

=Differences=

On the other hand, there still exists several differences among China, Korea, and Japan.

For example, from the similar patterns of Fashion-Based activities and cultures, there are distinctively different style of shopping and activities to do when hanging out.

All three of the countries have a strong and distinct characteristics of teenagers.

Chinese teenagers enjoy sending out messages in their hobbies, such as music or contemporary art.

Japanese teenagers obtained and advanced in making a extreme culture such as the Shibuya Gals or Anime culture.

Korean teenagers fit their need of quickly changing fashion style by advancing in a shopping center with thousands of cheap stores to choose from.

The main objective of the different teenage groups have created mostly of the main characteristics that they all have, but different from one another.

However, I believe that the teenagers of all of the three countries, China, Japan, and Korea, just have a unique characteristic, but they aim for just one goal...


 * Making the best for their teenage years.** :)
