Mentoring in the US vs Korea.
Jan 19th 2010 12:12
Have you ever thought why mentoring is widespread in the US, while Korea has not made extensive use of it? My assertion is basically this: The popularity of mentoring is due to the different religious attributes of each country. As you know, the Western religions are based on the Christian religion and Catholic. And the widely believed religions in the Eastern are the Buddhism and Confucianism. If we see how western and eastern people cultivate their own moral sense and confess their sins in each religion, I believe we can have an insight to solve our question. In western religion, a person confesses oneself to God by talking to a priest. And on behalf God, the priest advise the confessor how and what to do to be a good man. On the other hand, people who believe in the eastern religion have been likely to attribute their bad behavior to themselves and trying to cultivate their own moral sense. In this point of views, I can tell Western people are more like to solve a problem in an outgoing way while Eastern people try to address a problem in an inward way.
As you know, the Western religions are based on the Christian religion and Cathologism.
And on behalf of God, the priest advises the confessor on how and what to do to be a good man. (or simply "how to be a good man" or "pius man")

As you know, most Western religions are based on Christianity and Catholicism. (It would be more natural to say "Protestantism and Catholicism" or just "Christianity".)
If we see how western and eastern people cultivate their own moral sense and confess their sins in each religion, I believe we can have an insight to answer our question. (One "answers questions" and "solves problems")
In western religion, a person confesses their sins(죄?) oneself to God by talking to a priest.
And on behalf of God, the priest advises the confessor on how and what to do to be a good man.
On the other hand, people who believe in the eastern religions are likely to attribute their bad behavior to themselves and to try to cultivate their own moral sense.
From this point of views, I can tell Western people are more likely to solve a problem in an outgoing way while Eastern people are more likely to try to address a problem in an inward way.
Good writing, too. I'm impressed by your command of English idioms. Keep it up.
