As Korean society grows more pluralistic, we have become freer to assert our individuality, and more respectful of diversity in our beliefs and values. Yet we remain divided and at odds, our interactions increasingly shaped by our polarized views and the logic of identity politics. Thus, we ask, is our rapidly changing technology and our use of technology adequately reflecting social diversity? What effect is non-face-to-face, device-centered communication having on human relationships? This session seeks to better understand the deepening conflicts in Korean society today and their causes through research, experimentation and analysis, in search of the solutions that will help us overcome our differences.
