In Chosun Dynasty, confucianism influenced the life style that woman hide inside her home and the culture was driven by the man. Man and labor was the most essential aspect of their industry(agriculture). As a result, a son was held as being much higher than a daughter. Original approach of Korean alphabet was the symbol of heaven, human and earth combination which is the basement of oriental philosophy. However, in this methodology, Korean alphabets are based on the social structure that backs to the past, especially social life of Chosun period. The male character(consonant) comes first and the female letter(vowels) always follows the male letter. But it isn't to imply that the man is better or worth more than the woman.
