So I was on the bowl yesterday doing what I usually do: reading. This particular occasion had me flipping through an old Korea guide book; the Moon South Korea guide if you're curious. I began to read a small passage about the national flag and realized that I wanted share a little bit with you. Tell me if you notice anything troubling about this depiction.

The central circle is a yin/yang that representing the interrelatedness of opposing forces, the dualism of nature, and the harmony and balance of opposites. The red upper half is the positive half, representing light, day, fire, maleness, goodness, life, and heat; the blue lower half represents darkness, night, water, femininity, evil, death, and cold.

To me, it's not the depiction itself, but its accuracy in describing facets of Korean society that I see everyday.
