Answer 2

South Korea is much improved in economy as compared to the Philippines.

Politics in South Korea is more stable and does not affect much the economy unlike in the Philippines. Coup d'etats in Korea did not bring down their economy unlike in the Philippines when military has a great influence in governance resulting to poor performance of public services and rampant corruption through the barrel of the gun.

Socially and culturally, the Philippines has more advantages because Filipinos as hospital and respects the culture that was passed through generations.

Answer 3

You apparently ask the same questions in two other section, i suppose this is some kind of homework or something, isn't it?

To start off, SK is located in the East Asia - Northeast Asia to be specific. And it is also known as one of the 4 Asian tigers (is it tigers or dragons? - everyone?). In terms of economic power, Korea is famous of its "chaebol" companies, such as Samsung, LG, Hyundai, etc.

While The Phil is located in Southeast Asia, led by some dictatorate leaders (Ferdinand Marcos) for quite a long period. And eventhough among Southeast Asian countries Phil is a pretty prosperous country, it is not in any position to be compared with SK. (The richest countries in Southeast Asia are Brunai Darussalam and Singapore).

In terms of politics, both have one similarity (alrite, ONE!): to have a great US support before and even after independence. Republic of Korea (ROK-SK's official name) was founded on August 15th, 1948, after 3 years of US' "occupation". The first president, Rhee Syngman (이승만), received strong US support and only survived his position until the US withdraw its support towards the president. Second president, Park Chung Hee, got in to the throne after a coup. He ruled Korea for 18 years from 1961-1979 when he was shot by Korea Central Intelligence Agency's head at the time, after they had dinner together. Anyways, his presidential period marks Korea's fastest growth and development stage. The next president was Choi Kyu-ha, which didn't last long, and was replaced by Chun Doo-Hwan (also by coup). Chun Doo Hwan's presidential period was followed by Roh Tae-Woo, which was the last military reign in SK. The next president was Kim Young Sam, who received Chun Doo-Hwan and Roh Tae-Woo support in his effort winning the presidential election. The next period is Kim Dae-Jung period, which marks so many changes in SK's face. Kim Dae-Jung was the first president to propose the sunshine policy (an effort for SK-NK reunification), also he was a life-long democracy fighter - up to Park Chung-Hee period, he brought SK's economy back up after the IMF shock, etc. Next, followed by his successor, Roh Moo-Hyun, whose policy is just way too different to Kim's.

Philippines, there's a long history of dictator and corruption, I think you'd have a better answer from your Q in the Phil section.

Social. SK, as a Northeast Asian country, was highly influenced by Chinese culture. They also use Chinese character (hanja) - not in daily life though as Chinese (han zi) and Japanese (kanji) use it. Courtesy rules are pretty much Confucian. Young-old, senior-junior, parent-children relations are really important.

Phil, more influenced by Spanish and American culture, I think. And they're pretty heterogen, unlike the homogen Korea.

Cultural, I think the answer's already implied.
