In almost every community, human beings tend to form groups. According to studies on human nature, people instinctually “feel close to those who are similar and get uncomfortable with those who are different.” People’s tendency to form groups and the resulting conflicts become “undesirable but inevitable” problem particularly in a community where one becomes a member after growing up (e.g. school, military, workplace) contrary to a community where one was born (e.g. family, race, ethnic group). Furthermore, some experts explain that people use various means of control when power structure of society is established, and it is also a part of human nature that “violent domination” among those has often been used as an effective means. In this light, we can conclude how difficult it would be to be in an ideal state where all
members of society respect one another and honor the rights of others. It is a well-known fact that discrimination and harassment are pervasive in various segments of Korean society such as school, military and workplace. However, some consider this kind of problem appears as a rite of passage that must be gone through while adjusting to new environment. As the saying goes, “no pain, no gain”. And, in analyzing the issue of harassment occurring in the workplace, some have attributed Korea’s harsh working conditions to the prolonged economic recession and the resulting deterioration in employment following the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Living in an economically-distressed era when one could be happy just to be employed, many employees are willing to accept any unreasonable
treatment that they may get at their workplaces.
