Challenges Faced During the term of my study, there are a lot of challenges faced including, Interaction with people as due to Language Barriers. How to speak with Korean fluently in order to
understand fully the message. Weather and climate ( as Korea has four seasons). Due to the Language/ Speaking problem it is hard to
find more ways and means to dealth with Korean daily life as every products written in Korean alphabets.
Concluded remarks After go through all my personal study experiences and field visits around south Korea it comes to my conclusions that I can do and applied what I ‘ve Learn and experience during my time but it depend entirely on personal dedication and commitments.I always ask my self these four (4) basic questions Below: How has Korea overcome the severe situation ?
(ex) high pop. poverty, food shortage, high unemployment, low infra. In Rural area.
How has Korea transferred high technology(Agr. R&D) to farmers? (ex) high yield varieties, farm mechanization, animal products.
How has New village movement accelerated the Nation – modernization ? (industrialize, Rural development).
In this process, What core-Role has Gov’t and public officials played ?
Thank you one and all
