South Korea strengthens etiquette education

1988 Seoul Olympic Games and the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan have brought the world closer to Korea twice. The good behavior of Korean teenagers in the competition left a good impression on people. How does South Korea cultivate teenagers' etiquette habits and strengthen and improve them before the world series? In this regard, our reporter interviewed relevant people in South Korea.

School education: Since 1973, Li Yizong has set up a moral course, which is formally taught to students above grade three in primary school in the form of books, and a similar "honest life course" has been set up in grades one and two, covering basic etiquette and moral norms in personal life, family neighborhood, campus, society and national life. "Courtesy is the first priority between teachers and students in the school, and teachers are strict and respectful." The school also has a etiquette room to simulate life scenes and conduct demonstration education on instrument etiquette.

Before the two competitions, the education department has formulated the etiquette that should be observed in corridors, stairs, canteens, shops, sports fields and other public places, emphasizing diligence, honesty, temperance, etiquette, responsibility, filial piety and order. Teacher Park still remembers the slogan of the Olympic Games at that time: "Modesty, proper language and correct attitude". Family education: the source of corruption

In family etiquette education, adults' behavior habits have a subtle influence. Therefore, focusing on family etiquette, filial piety, harmony and consideration for others have become the focus of Korean family pre-competition education. In order to let adults lead by example, South Korea promotes "order education, cordial education and clean education" in the whole society. Adults maintain order, and children will follow suit, subtly pushing civility and politeness to the direction of system, habit and culture, from politeness spirit and etiquette form to practical action.

Social education: the meaning of custom

Korea has advocated Confucianism and etiquette since ancient times, and has a good social fashion and etiquette foundation. Before and after the contest, manners were strengthened. Teenagers are undoubtedly well influenced.

"Cultural World Cup, Sightseeing Korea" is the slogan of the Korean government. South Korea has carried out nationwide activities of "changing attitudes, providing warm services and cultivating advanced tourism culture". The government has also made great efforts in the subtleties, encouraging citizens to say hello before meeting in the elevator, giving way ten times a day, cultivating traffic civilization and smiling to thank others for their courtesy. There are also etiquette norms such as listening to others and refusing to swear.
