When compared people's minds about work in the past with in this generation, Some people might feel there are many different things. Of couse, there are some changed, however, the main idea is the same. That is they want to 'the better life'!
People work hard and earn the money to get a better life style. In a few decades ago, Korea's walfare was terrible. Korean people always felt hungry, couldn't have a safe house, and so on. For that people,The better life means they can eat, live, wear. They worked very very hard to solve that problems
However, In this time, As Korean's economic status become better than in the past, Koreans can meet the human's basic needs. We don't have to worry about how we can eat, live, wear any more. Now, People want to meet the high level of needs.
So, The meaning of 'the better life' is different in the past. The value was changed. people want to enjoy their life.They want to do what they are interested in. In that reason, people want to have a more extra time for themselves than earn the money.
I don't think these changes of work ethic mean people become lazy. We still work very hard, and alway spend a busy times for our 'better life'. It's just change of the value that people want to pursue.
We'd rather improve our attitudes towards the cultural side as much as our life level went up. For instance, we should be calm when we drive, we should be patient when we are waiting, and so on. As I travelled to European countries, I definitely realised it was time to upgrade ourselves!
