All people have basic needs and wants.
The ways in which societies meet the needs of food, shelter and clothing differ. The structure of the house, the traditional dances and music, the techniques of food preparation, and the design of dress all reflect the beliefs and perspectives of a particular culture. The importance of the patrilinear extended family, the role of women in preparing food for the long winters in Korea, and the agrarian nature of the traditional economy are all reflected in the traditional lifestyles of the Korean people. Assign each student in the group a different activity sheet. Have students fill out the questions at the bottom of the worksheet.
