South Korea, which was hardly known to the outside world even three decades ago, is now a good state
in many respects. The number of foreigners living in the nation is over a million. When you go to a park
on Sunday, you can see non-Koreans having a good time there. That is why some sociologists argue that
South Korea is not a single-race nation any more. The nation is also helping poor countries stand on their
own feet. A number of important international conferences will be held in South Korea. But, in spite of the
government’s efforts, some foreign workers are socially discriminated.
