The Study on The Comparison of Symbolicity in the Personality Education of South and North Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There are numerous points of comparison of the features of personality education in each country. South Korea pursues an educational purpose that values respect for the individual, personal liberty and and one's ability. In contrast, the North, with its basis of collectivism, is more likely to emphasize the consciousness of a group-structure devoted to the party, the revolution, and service to the nation and society. The formation of personality and the methods for such education in each country have contradictory aspects when compared. North Korea practices educational methods and content that are systematically coincident with the educational purposes of communism. South Korea has the characteristic of directing with a relatively free and voluntary method based on the principles of liberalism and individualism. In spite of these differences in early childhood education, a similarity between the two is that both put importance on the fundamental standards of life and moral character as the goal of school education. In the Education Law in South Korea, this is stated as love liberty and respect responsibility, the spirit of cooperation, affection, faith, and respect, and thrift and endeavor with carefulness. Also, fellowship, public morality, and detailed work are presented. In North Korea, these standards of morality are included as a part of communist morality. Even so, the detailed standards of morality include the general morality that is common with the South. As moral standards stated as general values, students are supposed to be taught to have respect for common property, to have courtesy and live with hygiene and culture, love the nation and people, put value on the people's tradition and inheritance, properly use desks and chairs, and frugally keep the economy and livelihood of the nation. Also, in the textbook of Communist Morality, courtesy to adults, respect for parents, and courtesy towards neighbors and friends are also emphasized as well in the South, and it shows that North Korea puts importance on general standards of morality.
