زمینه فرهنگی

In Korea, age is the primary determinant of social hierarchy. Even a one-year difference can change how people address each other. Confucianism, which originated in China, heavily influences Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, emphasizing filial piety and respect for elders. Western cultures tend to be more egalitarian, focusing on individual merit rather than age-based hierarchy.
