Misconceptions

"Foreigners' Mistaken Ideas About Korea" is a popular theme among my students. Koreans' Mistaken Ideas About America by Kim Dae-joong is an article that discusses two populer misconceptions Koreans have about the U.S.: (1) that it is planning an invasion of North Korea, and (2) that its troops cannot easily be pulled out South Korea.

The theme is similar to an excelent article that appeared more than two years ago: The New York Times Review of Books: Occidentalism.
