Background and Statement of Purpose 1. Overview of cultural awareness Cultural awareness is a multifaceted, philosophy that stresses on the understanding of the way an individuals culture may enlighten them in terms of adding value to their values, their behaviors basic assumptions and the general beliefs. Cultural awareness is a very important part of the society because it provides profound basis for communication to take place and enables us to appreciate some of the basic aspects of the society like perceptions and beliefs. Culture awareness is an important feature in a peoples lives because without understanding of a peoples own behavioral rules and project the rules on others, misinterpretation is likely to occur. In the event that people dont have knowledge of their culture, they tend to assume the meaning of behavior. For instance, among the Japanese, it is considered as disrespectful to look someone straight in the face. Cultural awareness helps individuals in realizing that cultural background nare significant in shaping every individual even though every individual has a unique background with respect to culture. These cultural backgrounds are responsible for shaping individuals way of interpretation of the immediate world around them, the ay they perceive themselves and how they ultimately relate to the environment and other people. This is a very important tool for people and it is essential for exploration of other peoples cultural issues in a more sensitive way. In a similar view, exploring various aspects of cultural practices that relate to North Korea we are in a position to augment our cultural knowledge by presenting a overview of the North Koreans cultural attributes and issues. However, while doing this, it is imperative that individual needs and inclinations be identified since it is unnecessary to reduce people or a person to a set of cultural norms. This research paper thus explores the culture awareness in North Korea but bears in mind that even within the North Korean culture it is not uncommon to find that the culture across the board varies significantly with respect to beliefs, values, and peoples behaviors. This diversity may be caused by many other intervening factors. These factors include socio-economic background of the people, diverse life experiences that people face as well as the experience of migration. This enormous variation in the aspects that build a culture among people is an essential requirement that will help us have an in-depth understanding of the processes that bring these variations. B. Scope, Limitations, Problems In order to achieve the objectives of the research, various sources are consulted, which provide information to help in further understanding the cultural changes that have taken place among the people of North Korea with respect to literature, art, music and also as relates to architecture and issues to do with planning of the city. The paper makes use of primary research studies that have already been carried out to explore culture awareness on North Korea. Various databases are also consulted in order to explore the information that is relevant and has been archived. Government sites are also very important especially in understanding the scope of tourism promotion and the aspects promoted as tourism catchments for the country. The scope of the paper is only limited to the highlighted areas with a clear understanding of the diverse nature of culture as a part of peoples lives. Thus, although culture awareness covers broad areas of the society, the narrow details of every broad aspects are beyond the scope of this paper. This research is not a primary field research and therefore just as common with most research works of such dimension, it is limited in terms of coverage of the broad perspective of the issues that relate to culture. However, exploring the cultural changes that have taken place from time to time helps in understanding the direction of t7he cultural changes of the people and this can be done through the exploration of the above mentioned sources. Given that culture is a peoples way of life in respect to various aspects as underscored earlier in the paper, it is a changing facet of life. Since most of the sources consulted comprise research studies already carried out, the implications of the findings of the research studies might have changed by now since the time of carrying out the studies. Secondly, culture has a significantly diverse perspective and every individual has a diverse. This means that the results and findings of this study might be limited in respect to the construct validity of the findings. C. Methodology, resources, definitions Given that it is expected that there are many research works that have been carried out, random selection of sources especially online databases will be used for the paper. In this respect, databases are explored through online search engines for key word like, North Korean art, history of architecture in North Korea, music and film appreciation in North Korea, migration trends in North Korea, North Korea and racial discrimination, among other relevant terms. In respect to this study, culture is understood as the peoples ways of life with respect to beliefs, practices, art appreciation, perceptions, PAGE PAGE 1 Culture Awareness North Korea
