The topic of this paper is cultural choice. Cultural choice is the freedom to choose and adapt the characteristics from one's own and other cultures in developing one's own cultural identity. This paper will discuss the Japanese occupation of Korea, and the effects that it had on the culture. This projects presents the idea of cultural choice and voices the opinion that people shouild not be forced to adopt customs, cultures or languages that they do not want to, instead they should have the option of creaing their own cultural identity. I will bring my own perspective into this paper and discuss how cultural choice is good because the whole world is affected by other cultures.
