Korea is a civillization

I think... Korea is a civilization, because

Government: The Government is not the only one person; there are many people who have jobs for government. In Korea, there is a president and the Prim ministers for each city. Even though their jobs are different, main point is to lead the people.

Religion: Korea has several religions which are Buddhism and Christianity. Korean people are very religious so everywhere you go in Korea, you will see thousands of churches and temples! By having many kinds of religion, Korea celebrates Chinese New Year, Christmas and others.

Stable Food Supply: In Korea, now it's very different to gather/earn the foods compare to the old days. In old days, many of Korean were farmers, but now there is only few of Korean are farmers. Then, how do we have stable food supply? Not always, but Korea obtains (trading) foods from the other countries, but good thing is by trading foods from other countries makes good relationship.

The Arts: Until these days, In Korea you will see traditional work of art because Korean people have very strong belief that more traditional things in Korea, more foreigners will visit Korea, so in each year many foreigners visit Korea and learn about Korea. For examples: drama, music, movies and dance.

Social Structure: In Korea, there are many different levels depending on the jobs. If we imagine there is like a pyramid of social structure, the top part would be president and below that, there would be a prime minister and then the police, then doctors and then the judges and then normal people.

Writing: In old days in Korea, Koreans used Chinese, but the king called Se Jong created Han Gle(HoonMinjeongEum). This is why Han Gle looks similar to Chinese. Until today, we use Han Gle for writing and speaking. Han Gle was chosen as most creative language in the world. In Han Gle, there are many words often feelings, that aren't in other languages.

Technology: In Korea during the winter time, people were sick of cold so Ondol was invented. Ondol is special stones that are used to make room warm. If Korean hasn’t invented this invention, Koreans would have hard time during the winter time, so Ondol was chosen as top10 important invention of Korea.
