<The Origin of Christmas Cake in South Korea>
— A modified Cultural Assimilation
If you want to read the full text, here is the link:

1. Christmas cake is not universal.
What do you think of Christmas? A cake pops up in my mind and I thought that it was universal. On top of that, it seems to me that a Christmas cake should be a round sponge cake covered in white whipped cream icing like snow and with red strawberries. It turns out, however, that each country has its own cake or cake-ish bread: Christmas pudding in the U.K, Stollen in Deutschland, Panettone in Italia, Bûche De Noël in France, and Vínarterta in Iceland. What really shocked me was that “the white Christmas cake” did not originate in the United States. Personally, the emotional damage was the same as when I discovered that Santa Claus is not real and there is no Rudolph. It makes me wonder why I believed that Americans would eat “the Christmas cake”.

📄존댓말 사용 방법(How to use Honorifics in Korean)
: The Modern Usage of 존댓말
The Full text:
https://s0926252.medium.com/how-to-use-honorifics-in-korean-2b332771509b
The traditional usage of 존댓말 is based on hierarchy which has passed down over centuries since Confucian era. “Since Confucian order has traditionally been important in Korea, etiquette according to social class and age is deeply reflected in language”, one blogger said(source: https://jubileey.tistory.com/55).
Yes, it is true. Age and social position have a large part of Korean culture. It does not mean, however, that we should follow the tradition. Culture is not embedded in stone. Korean culture is not exceptional. It has been changing a lot, especially with language. Thus, the Korean language which older people use is not the same language which young people use.
The modern usage of 존댓말 is based on relations of distance between you and others. So you should talk to someone in 존댓말 regardless of age or social position if you think that she/he is not close to you. This is new Korean manners. Of course, some older people ignore this new manners and follow the traditional one which makes the young offended.
Some Korean learners could ask me why the culture has changed, and they guess that it may be because many young Koreans are affected by American culture or western culture. That might be true, but as I see it, there are other three reasons why young Korean often use “-어요/아요” regardless of age and social position: Modern Lifestyle, The Third Industrial Revolution, and Democratization.
