I had my sixth and final meeting via Zoom with my conversation partner Suyeol on Thursday, August 6. This week, our meeting had a more serious tone, because Suyeol had some questions about the Black Lives Matter movement and recent political developments in the United States. We discussed topics such as the upcoming presidential election and how polarized the discussion of politics has become in the United States. We also discussed recent developments with the virus and the significant difference between how the Korean and U.S. governments are handling it. It was very interesting for me to learn more about the political system and major political parties in Korea, and it was equally fascinating for me to discuss the current political situation in the United States with someone who has more of an outsider’s perspective on the topic.
