Recently, I read that university students and workers in South Korea focused too much on their work and they suffered from depression. Rather than having leisure time, it would be most serious for Korea to concentrate on the job. Because they hang out at work in school or at work for half a day. For example, after work, the boss doesn't leave work. The boss will argue that the work is finished, but others have not finished or are nearing completion. It works as if it were a practice of work. Of course, things are not bad at all. In a capitalist society, works are very important. Work brings about loyalty and self-sufficience about one's profession. Also, work provides money and goals to enjoy leisure time. However, works should not deprive oneself of leisure time. Also, works should not be the goal of life itself. In some ways, not only college students and businessmen, but all Korean citizens became slaves to work.
So, in order to objectively view the importance of the work in the daily lives of Korean citizens, I found the survey results in the WVS database. I chose East Asia (Korea, Japan) and the United States as a comparison country. In the question of 'important in life : work', Japan answered 52.1 percent. South korea answered 60.8 percent. United States responded 35.6 percent. I found out that Korea was the highest in Korea. In a sense, I thought it might be a side effect of rapid economic growth in the short term.
The above statistics alone are difficult to explain. But what I want to say is that not only do people recognize the importance of work, but also don't interfere with their personal sphere. Because humans are not the only ones working like machines. Also, the reason why humans have jobs is to ensure personal areas. If purpose of works and personal areas is reversed, humans can be treated as machines.
