Personal Outline:
Thesis Sentence: The rise in popularity of Korean Dramas has had a positive effect overall on the Korean economy as many of these shows reach viewers on a global scale; however, the government?s control over public media only produces a positive nationalistic point of view of Korean culture in order to sell Korean products to other countries, and the only way to obtain a realistic look at Korean culture is to delve into the government policies, the production company structures, and the life of a pop idol.
Introduction
• Reveal Topic/Audience Relevancy Statement: In this paper, I ask how does the Korea government influence their cultural growth on a global scale through the use of public media.Thesis: The rise in popularity of Korean Dramas has had a positive effect overall on the Korean economy as many of these shows reach viewers on a global scale; however, the government?s control over public media only produces a positive nationalistic point of view of Korean culture in order to sell Korean products to other countries, and the only way to obtain a realistic look at Korean culture is to delve into the government policies, the production company structures, and the creation of pop idols.
• Specific Main Point Preview:
1. The government policies.
2. The production companies.
3. The creation of pop idols.
Transition: First, I will cover the government policies on the promotion of Korean culture.
Body
• 1st Main Point: The government policies on public media only provide a positive outlook on Korean culture to the outside world.
• Sub Point: This provides a sense of nationalism within the country.
• Sub Point: This also provides a false positive about Korean culture in an attempt to sell goods to the global economy and boost Korea?s local economy.
Transition: Secondly, with this in mind, production companies mimic the government?s influence on the local economy by structuring their business models to make a profit.
• 2nd Main Point: The production companies have structured their businesses in such a way that they can commercialy sell their products to buyers outside of Korea.
• Sub Point: The rise in popularity of Korean Drama actors and pop idols help companies with marketing and promoting company products.
• Sub Point: They also help promote and perpetuate an optimistic view of Korean culture.
Transition: Thirdly, in order to understand how these companies are able to flourish, one must look into what goes into creating a Korean pop idol.
• 3rd Main Point: The creation of Korean pop idols is a long journey.
• Sub Point: Often companies will invest up to 7 or 10 years into a person in hopes of making a new pop idol. This consits of a lot of training.
• Sub Point: When companies are unsuccessful in creating a new pop idol, their contracts are terminated and there is barely anything mentioned in the media about what has happened to these rising stars.
Conclusion
• Summary of Main Points: In conclusion, government policies, production company models, and the rise in Korean pop idols all play a role in both promoting a sense of nationalism within Korea, but also a false image of the realities of actual Korean life to the global markets.
