International Marriage      Today, there is no boundary among nations. We can meet international people more easily because international exchange is activated more than past time; for example, we can make a international friends through social networks such as twitter and facebook. In addition, there are a lot of international people in Korea. I also can get along with more international students than ever before in H.U.F.S. Therefore, it is not unusual to marry someone from another culture and there are several advantages of international marriage.     First, international marriage brings diversity of culture. In fact, Korean society has a lack of diversity in culture because Korea is a single-race nation. As the variety of culture increase, we can experience foreign culture without going abroad; for instance, we can eat  international food easily and enjoy their traditional culture. Next, we can learn the strength point of the other culture when the international people increase by marring someone with a different nationality. For example, Koreans are impetuous but Chinese are relatively relaxed so we can learn chinese easygoing and we can also learn Japanese politeness. Finally, we can solve the problem which is a decrease in population. The decrease in population is the most serious problem in Korea. As more people marry with foreign people, the population might have somewhat increased. Of course, there is a problem of international marriage because most Koreans have prejudices against it. They have a negative view of international people and the multi-cultural family. However, with the society organizations and government efforts, their prejudices are changing.     international marriage has a lot of merits. It makes our culture rich. To reinforce this advantage, we must get rid of the prejudice of international people and multi-cultural family. If so, entire our society members can be happy and our culture will be flourishing.
