Review of Interview 1

My Scorecard

1st: Chancelvie Louzolo  (20 points)

Chancelvie has very good elements. I was impressed at the first side due to the plain and clear organization. All of the elements are plain and not too long but it doesn't mean they don't get enough important information. The length of all elements are just well enough. The interview she did contains every required questions basically and beside, Chancelvie ask more questions to make the interview flow smoothly. I could say that the interview generally is a well organized, providing all information that could be expected, and plus, there is a audio file attached in it. It seems like she did put effort in and thought critically. Those are the reason why I could choose Chancelvie's interview as the first place. 

2nd: Jon Madden  (20 points)

I was very impressed by Jon interview. All elements are shown up in a vey well-organized way. The transcript shows that they really enjoyed talking and it is an interesting interview. I couldn't expect anything else from the interview. The only thing that make me not choose this interview as the first place is because Jon doesn't have an audio file, just like Chanceivie does.

3rd: Jonathon Gerry  (20 points)

This is an exellent interview. I couldn't say anything else; everything is perfect. However, the same with Jon, he doesn't have the audio file and all the elements could be briefer but still contain important information.

The First Interview: Korea

Interviewer: Quyen Tran

Interviewee: Hanju Chae

Preparations

The person whom I interview name Hanju Chae. He is one of my accounting classmates who sit right next to me. I have been talking with him few times and when the interview assignment came, I thought it would be a good opportunity to interview him about South Korea, the country I chose and also where he’s from. Actually, I was going to interview one of my English classmates. She is the only Korean in the class and I knew that a lot of people in the class choosing the same country which is Korea to do interview of, so she might be the interviewee of lots of people in the class. Therefore, I thought of Han. I asked him to be my interviewee after an accounting class and he said yes. We made an appointment in the library the day after and decided to reserve a studying room which was an appropriate place to do an interview because a studying room in the library is a separate space, so that we would not bother or be affected by anybody. After getting into the room, I set up my recorder and did some trials to make sure the volume and value of the sound is good enough to be listened to. I gave Han a page which has pretty much all the questions that I was going to ask, so that it would be easier for him to follow. After that, the interview was conducted as it’s recorded.

Interview Transcript

Me: Hi Han, can you tell me a little bit about the value of family in your country?

Han: Yea, simply, the value of the family means to me is priority. I just realized that nothing is really matter. It really is about the ones you love, so I have to kind of appreciate this fact more and more as a son, a member of my family.

Me: Okey, so what’s your family structure like? Who is the head of the family? What is the value?

Han: I personally think that my Mom has more power over my dad because she stays at home doing housework and stuff and my dad is always busy at work. Well, it doesn’t apply to every South Korean family but in my family, my Mom is the head of power.

Me: So, does she go to work?

Han: She does not go to work. She does not have a job. She’s just a house wife. This is great for the whole family because she cooks and takes care of the house very well.

Me: Okey, so is that the reason why she’s the head of the family over your dad? I think normally, men are the head of the house.

Han: Well, simply, I think my dad is a nice guy.

Me: Generally, in your country, does gender still matter in a family?

Han: Technically not really, but you know, even in America, gender is kind of a matter. I think everyone would like to have a son rather than a little girl and that is kind of same thing happening in Korea, too. It doesn’t come into face to face, but behinds, people kind of want to have a son rather than a girl.

Me: How does your home country culture different from the US culture?

Han: I think Korean is more conservative than American, so they are less liberal; they are more like Republicans. They are not as open minded as most of the Americans are. 

Me: What are the highlights in your culture? (What things will make people immediately whink about your country? Please tell more about its history).

Han: The recent one is the song Gangnam style by Psy. It reminds most people in the world as a style which is equal to South Korea.

Me: So, what does Gangnam style look like? How about it?

Han: It’s the area which the richest people in South Korea live in. It’s a district. It’s basically Beverly Hills of America in Korean version.

Me: Does Gangnam represent all people in your country or just a small area?

Han: It’s a tiny area, which probably between 100 to 200 hundred thousand people live in.

Me: What is your home town? (Where have you been growing up? And where do you live?)

Han: My hometown is Seoul. As I mentioned, Gangnam is a part of Seoul, but I am not from that area. I grew up in Seoul until when I was 15 years old. I moved to the US and live here for the last seven years.

Me: Could you tell me a little bit about Seoul?

Han: The city of Seoul has ten million populations just by the city itself. The metropolitan area is about 24.5 million inhabitants which becomes the second largest in the world. South Korea has the highest and fastest broadcasting system in the world called DMB. And then I recently researched about the GDP per capital. It was 32,000 dollars per capital, so it’s pretty not that bad but not too great economic. Seoul also has headquarters of hundreds companies such as Huyndai, Kia, and Samsung. Those are all headquarters located in Seoul.

Me: Can you tell me a little bit about the lifestyle there? What make it unique?

Han: Oh, okey. My city has the unique culture which I think is really great. The city never sleeps. If you want any kind of food, you can order it and it will get delivered to your house 24/7, so it’s really convenient.

Me: Okey, so how a young person considered troublemaker in your country?

Han: I think it depends on the person. When I was young, I personally thought troublemakers are not cool, but all the others would think that it’s cool.

Me: Ok, so what do you think about the music culture in your country? Is it a significant part?

Han: I would say that it’s pretty significant but I’m pretty sure it’s not as a big deal as the other high musical cultures such as Australia and America. However, Korean has our own music called K-Pop which I think is pretty popular in the whole Asia.

Me: Do you like K-Pop?

Han: Well, not too much but I like Gangnam style, yea.

Me: Is marriage important in your country that everybody pursues?

Han: Yea, absolutely nobody wants to be alone when they are at ages 40 or 50. They want to keep in track with their heritage, so I think everyone pursues marriage.

Me: Are you sure? Because in the US, marriage is not really the most importance, not everybody pursues it.

Han: Every situation has exception but most of people, since they are conservative, even when they there are conflicts within the marriage, they would try to figure it out rather than just break up and divorce. 

Me: Is there still gender or race discrimination in your country?

Han: Comparing to the US, absolutely not but I saw some discrimination. Seoul, the city where I lived in, has a lot of Chinese and some Africans immigration such as Nigerians who came to South Korea as labor workers. We treat them kind of bad but nothing as bad as in America like kill them or punch them on the streets.

Me: What is the most famous food in your country?

Han: Bulgogi, the very thin slide beef with our own unique sauce, which tastes very similar to Teriyaki. I personally think Bulgogi tastes better than Teriyaki.

Me: What is the traditional food then?

Han: Bulgogi is one of the traditional foods in South Korea but there is also the one called Kimchi which made from cabbages and twenties more ingredients go in. I don’t know all the elements but there are a lot of things go in Kimchi.

Me: Are Bibimbab and Kimbab traditional?

Han: Yes, Bibimbab is steam white rice mixed with the chili paste sauce and a bunch of different kinds of vegetable and also ground beef. That’s very traditional. Every single time when I came back home, on the flight, I always chose that food to eat. Kimbab is Korea version of Sushi. It’s not traditional but it’s for high school students to bring with when they come to the library and feel hungry but don’t get much money. Kimbab is one of those kinds of food applied to the high school or middle school students who do not have lots of money but fill out their hungers.

Me: Do most of people eat spicy food?

Han: I would say yes. I actually have trouble big time when I went back to South Korea last summer. I got too much of American food which is just sweet and salty. I was not eating any spicy food, so when I went back to South Korea, I had lots of spicy food and I got sick for three days. So yea they eat a lot of spicy food.

Me: What are your meals like? (size, number, and times of day)

Han: We have a lot of soups, a lot of steam food, and a lot of barbeques. We just have a variety of different kinds of food that very uncountable. When we go to restaurants, there are at least five different sizes of dishes. The size of the meal is not as big as American meals but at least the five different sizes of dishes really make that up to get full. There are some big meals that people will share with each others. It’s the one big part in the middle. It’s kind of the unique thing but you get your own bowl right in front of you, so you just pick it out from the big part. It’s kind of the big size for families, about six to seven people.

Me: What is the education system in your country?

Han: It’s pretty much the same with the United States, but one different thing is about the high school system. We have two different ways. One is for the students who are preparing to go to the college. We are focusing on those kids to just train them harder. On the other hand, the other kids who don’t want to go to the college and just want to get a job, teachers are focusing on training them the working skills for what they are interested in rather than just educate them. Plus, high school in Korea is three-year-system instead of four and middle school, we also have three years but the US has two years. Those two are probably the only differences. Other than that, everything is pretty much the same.

Me: Do a lot of people get a chance to attend college in your country?

Han: Actually I researched this. The percentage of high school-ers in South Korea applying and enrolling to colleges is higher than the US. By the percentage, more Korean are willing to go to colleges than students in the US.

Me: So is it hard or easy to get into a college?

Han: I think getting into a college in Korea is extremely hard, but when you get in, it’s not that hard to graduate. So I would say just only getting in is way harder than in the US.

Me: What are the top three social pastimes in your country?

Han: I think baseball comes as number one over soccer. People in SK go to sauna as a hobby, they play pool; they play bowling; and they also play a lot of video games. But my family, especially my mom and my dad, they hike mountains a lot, at least twice a week. That’s their hobby and my mom’s hobby is cooking food in general. She tries to cook different meals, different stuff. My dad, actually, he enjoys hiking to the mountains. That was just my family hobbies but in general, people hobbies are going to bowling, playing pools, going to karaoke for teenagers, and they go to sauna for relaxing.

Me: Do you think that generally, people in your country reserve when meeting new people?

Han: If that’s for occasion or business, yes, they do. Otherwise, they do not. It’s pretty much the same thing as in here in America.

Me: In which way people pay a bill? “Saparate?”  or “together?” Who would be the person pay the bill?

Han: Generally, it’s used to be elder guys paying for the meals or whoever the person asks the other to go out. But now, most of people pay separately. Unless the really elder people ask you to go out, then they will pay for you.

Me: How many children can each couple have?

Han: Ok, well, South Korea is a completely different country from China, so Korean couple; they can have as many kids as they want. They can have twenty of them if they want to.

Me: What are your views on tattoos? What are the views your country has on tattoos? Is it considered bad if a girl has tattoos?

Han: Elder people, older generation, they are really conservative, so they think it’s not good. But our younger generation, they think that’s pretty cool especially women, they have tattoos and when we see them with tattoos on at the pools with bikini, we think that it’s sexy. But I personally do not like to get tattoos on my own skin.

Me: Where would you suggest people to visit when they come to your country, and why?

Han: Obviously the number one is Seoul which is my hometown and the capital of South Korea. I’ve already mentioned about the city before so I’m going to skip that. There’s also the other part is called Busan. It’s the second largest city in Korea; it’s really far, in the southeast at the edge. It’s famous for seafood, beautiful beaches, night lights and partying, just kind of like Miami style. And then, there is also an island called Jeju Island, on the southeast part of South Korea. It’s the island made by volcanoes. Especially in the winter time, there’s a lot of snow and it’s really beautiful but I would say that in the summer time, since that’s an island, a lot of beaches and a lot of summer activities. It’s kind of like Hawaii in Korean version.

Me: Which age is considered adult in your country?

Han: Officially, the age is 19, but people still rely on their parents, so I personally consider it’s 25. But the legal age to be adult is 19 years old in Korea which means they can drink, smoke, and drive.

Me: Do you think that people in your country are hard workers?

Han: Generally yes because Korea, I think is a developed country but still not quite as much as the US, so we are still trying to achieve, to become a better country. So, I think they are hard workers. They are trying harder than most of Americans, not every American.

Me: Do you think it’s normal for girls to ask boys out? Or it’s better for boys to ask girls out?

Han: This question really depends on situations and individuals. Korean girls are kind of being shy to ask guys out but if you meet them the bars or clubs, they act as much as guys do.

Me: What are the different religions in your country? What is the predominant one?

Han: I also actually researched this, about the religions. The predominant religion is Christian. It’s about 45%, Buddhism is about 38%, and the rest is non religion. So, the most popular, the predominant religion is Christian in Korea.

Me: So, is there any other religion beside Christian and Buddhism?

Han:  I’m sure there are some but not that I know among my friends or any people.

Me: What’s your religion?

Han: My parents are Buddhist, that’s one of the reasons why they actually very enjoy hiking because all the temples are on mountains. I am not really religious, but I am trying to be Buddhist.

Me: What are some holidays that you celebrate in Korea and how do you celebrate them?

Han: The biggest one is called Seollal. It’s the Chinese New Year; I think what it is same thing in Korea, too. We make dumplings, all relatives get together, just like any other countries holidays. All relatives get together, having a huge meal, talking, just catching up with the things. That’s how we celebrate. And then, the one which is different from American holidays is that we actually do worship and stuff prays for our ancestors at night. That’s the one thing different.

Me: Is there any other celebrations?

Han: Yes, there is another one called Korean Thanks Giving. It’s two months before the Thanks Giving in America. We go out at night, watch the full moon together, and wish out hopes.

Me: Is Thanks Giving in Korea similar to American Thanks Giving?

Han: Gathering relatives and families together and then having a big meal are similar. The different thing is that we actually watch the full moon, praying, and wishing things for the future.

Me: In conclusion, what things you do not like about your country and what things you feel proud of?

Han: The one thing I dislike about my country is that even though you disagree with someone older than you, you can’t tell your opinions because our own culture thinks that’s really rude. So that actually makes way less opportunities to be a creative person, to be a minded person. It’s close to minded person. I actually hate about that thing. However, what I like about my culture is that the food is great; nothing is fried much, really healthy, and really tasty. And I am kind of proud of our economic situation. Yea, that’s pretty much it.

Me: Thank you for the interview.

Interview report

The interview length is about 33 minutes. I asked Han the questions that I had already prepared in the page but sometimes I made more questions because things that I wanted to know just jumped into my head and I did it following the flow of the content. At first, I thought Han might not answer clearly all of the questions or it might be hard for me to catch up because we haven’t talked too much before. However, out of what I expected, Han was very open and was trying not to just simply answer my questions but also to explain and refer to his own experiences. It seems like Han had put some times on researching and getting prepared for the interview. This makes his answers more clearly and much more interesting.

To not miss any important questions, I divided the questions invisibly into seven parts. All of the parts are family, culture, food, education, social, religion, and finally, religion. From the interview, I found out that Korean culture is the combination of Asian style and American style. It is pretty similar to my country Vietnam, especially the way people celebrate some holidays and the way people having meals. Koreans worship their ancestors and in a meal, they get a big meal or some dishes in the middle of the table and pick food from the big part. About the education, it’s hard for people to get in but not that hard to graduate. However, on the other hand, just like American, approximately half of the populations are Christian. Korea has been the top developed country over the other countries in Asia. Its economic is big and its lifestyle has a considerable effect on many other cultures. The technology and music culture are some instants. Koreans are now confident, open minded and integrate to the development of the world. The fact of some popular companies such as Huyndai, Kia and Samsung, whose products are used all over the world, has shown it. Generally, Koreans have characteristic of Asians and keep their tradition similarly to the other Asia cultures but they are trying to integrate to a developed environment.

The interview just kept flowing smoothly. I was really enjoying asking questions and listening to Han’s speaking. I definitely got a lot more information about South Korea culture and lifestyle through personal thoughts of a native Korean, beside what I had researched on websites. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Individual thought on Challenges and Benefits of Interviewing an International Student

Since there are a lot of differences between countries, people are usually curious and get question marks in mind. Interviewing a person who comes from another country is a solution, which brings both challenges and benefits to the interviewer. As an undergraduate student, interviewing an international student means the interviewer has to consider who would be the interviewee and then might face a hard time to find the ways approaching a person due to differences in lifestyles. However, besides those challenges, interviewing an international student is a great way to achieve knowledge about different cultures. Interviewing bring us benefits of discovering other cultures as well as lifestyles and on the other hand, reflect our own culture by looking at people ways of thinking.

To interview an international student, the first step is looking for an appropriate person obviously. However, this is a concern since a lot of people have never been interviewing or even talking to an international student. According to a research from an International Students Interviewing classroom by Alderman, “two-third of the students had infrequent or rare interactions with international students”. Therefore, finding an interviewee is hard, approaching him is even harder. Due to the differences in lifestyle, each person has his own way to start a conversation. In this case, the interviewer might not know if the student would open and welcome questions or not. According to Alderman, “Students were very apprehensive and stressed until they actually approached somebody”. However, “once they did, they were pleasantly surprised by the willingness of the international student to participate in the interview, and enjoyed the rest of the exercise”. At this point, an interviewer will achieve benefits of interviewing an international student. He will get an opportunity to discover another culture by getting closer to the interviewee and asking questions. “She was super friendly, and I learned a lot from her culture”, a girl from Alderman’s research said after she had interviewed a Chinese student. On the other hand, by openly talking to an international student, interviewers would see ways the student think about the two cultures and from that reflect their own cultures.

In conclusion, interviewing an international student make people face some challenges finding and approaching interviewees at first but obviously, the interviewing process would bring many benefits since interviewers will be able to achieve knowledge about another cultures as well as their own culture.

Interview Objectives

Hopefully by interviewing some people in the class, I will achieve my objectives which are know more about cultures and people in other countries, know how the interviewees view their culture personally, be able to conclude some differences between my home country and the other countries, get a chance to learn what I haven’t taught in my home country, and most important, get to know more about the interviewees as my classmates.

Three countries I chose for the interview

Since there are more than half the numbers of my classmates are international students and I am counted as one. I personally want to know more about some countries where the other come from as well as the United States. Hopefully, after the interview, I will get to know more about some other people and cultures. From that I could see the differences between my home country and the other countries as well as get a chance to learn what I haven’t taught in my country. I have chosen and took a brief look at three countries that I feel interested in the most. They are South Korea, Bangladesh, and the United States.  

Firstly, let’s take a look at South Korea, the country I personally feel the most interested in among the other two as well as all of the other countries. I’ve been admiring this country’s development in technology, fashion as well as its customs. South Korea is a beautiful country located in Eastern Asia with its capital Seoul and a population of 48,598,175 (1). In general, there are four aspects which are significant in the Korean society and culture concept: Korean family values, Confucianism, ancestors, and the concept of Kibun. As what I have been informed, Korean life style is somewhat similar to my home lifestyle but obviously, Korean still has their own distinct and unique culture. I will focus on those four aspects interviewing my classmates.

Next country I will interview about is Bangladesh, another interesting country located in Southern Asia. Bangladesh has a population of 144,319,628 (2) and the capital Dhaka. The reason why I chose Bangladesh is because I have got to know quite many Bangladesh friends but have not really known much about this country. After researching some resources, I get a conclude that there will be three main points of the Bangladesh culture and society concept that I want to mention in the interview. They are hierarchy, religion and festival. Besides, I will also interview about the customs and etiquette in Bangladesh.

Lastly, as an international student studying in the United States, there are so much more I want to know about the people, American way of living, and education systems beside what I have got to known. Due to its development in education and economic, America has been always the hottest place for immigration. Its population until 2007 was 301,139,947 (3) which is a huge number. From what I have been experiencing and researching, there are three obvious words about American society and culture: "Diversity", "informal and friendly", and "time is money". I definitely have a lot to ask about, not only the America culture but also the way my American interviewee view his/her home country people and life.

Those above are the countries I feel interested in and curious to know more about. Hopefully by interviewing some people in the class, I will achieve my objectives which are know more about cultures and people in other countries, know how the interviewees view their culture personally, be able to conclude some differences between my home country and the other countries, get a chance to learn what I haven’t taught in my home country, and most important, get to know more about the interviewees as my classmates.

Five other books chosen by my classmates

       1. The first book that I chose from the other posts is The Best of London by Henri Gault and Christian Millau that had chosen by Sun, YiHao. The book is a list of every popular places in London for every purposes and all hierarchies. The descriptions of the places draw a general picture of London's way of living. "The seedy, cosmopolitan streets of Bayswater are redolet with fragrant charcoal grills, but more often than not these mouth-watering smells come from handfuls of herbs thrown on hot coals and not from the cooking, which is usually uniform and poor". This is an introduction of Fournaki Restaurant, a restaurant in Bayswater for greek. "The best of London" is printed by Crown Publishers and The Knapp Press in New York in 1982.       

       

       2. Gods of Commerce: How Business Really Works by Michael Phillips chosen by Tolan, Curtis F  is about business fields which contains trade, industry, and clientry. The book generally defines those fields of business and gives the audience an idea of the way business works. "Stability, economic, legal, social, and physical, is what permits a tradesperson to plan and allows a business to thrive over time". Obviously, the quote states the matters of business and from that gives some senses of what is in the business term. This book is printed by Clear Glass Press in San Francisco in 1997. 

       

       3. The Development of Memory in Children by Robert Kail chosen by Hyun, HanSole is a psychology book which informs the audience with a knowledge of memory development. The book is based on researches on childrens. Reading this book helps people to understand more about the way people memmorize and what affects this process such as age and gender. "One simple way in which the age groups differed was in the number of ways they suggested of trying to remember the birthday party: The older children were considerably more resourceful, suggesting an average of 2.5 ways of remembering the party compared to 1.35 for the kindergarten children". The book is printed by W.H. Freeman and Company in New York in 1979.

      

       4. Malaysia by T.E. Smith and John Bastin chosen by Phung, Trang T is about Malaysian custom and culture in general. The book inform the audience with the creation of Malaysia. On the other hand, it refers to Malaysian lives nowadays and in the past at the same time; from that it pictures the way of lives and social problems in Malaysia. "One of the precarious aspects of the problem of finding jobs for the increasing labour-force is that the Malaysian economy is still very independent on producing and exporting rubber". "Malaysia" is printed by Headley Brothers LTD in London, Great Britain in 1967.

       

       5. A technique for producing ideas by James Webb Young chosen by Jamaa, Abdalle M  is about producing ideas process by experiences of communicating. It's also about creative thingking. The book was printed by Crain Books in Chicago in 1975. "This has brought me to the conclusion that the production of ideas is just as definite a process as the production of Fords; that the production of ideas, too, runs on an assembly line; that in this production the mind follows an operative technique which can be learned and controlled; and that its effective ise is just as much a matter of practive in the technique as is the effective use of any tool". Indeed, this quote gives the audience an idea of how "the production of ideas" is defined.
