Korean
What is the key question, problem, or need the project will address?
The key question this project will address is what role traditional Korean medicine plays in the daily lives of Koreans, and how traditional medicine is integrated with food and lifestyle. The research will rely on primary sources to show how Korean medicine is intended to work, what the major recipes are, and how those recipes has changed over the years or according to geographic constraints. Modern uses of traditional Korean medicine will also be discussed in the research.
Why is the project important?
Traditional Korean medicine is not documented as well as traditional Chinese medicine or traditional Indian medicine. There is also some fear that some of the knowledge of traditional Korean medicine may be lost without further research. I would like to add to a growing body of literature on the role and function of traditional Korean medicine, focusing on specific issues such as how doctors and their patients integrate the herbs with their foods. This research should contribute to a better understanding of traditional Korean medicine, in the hopes that the traditions will not be lost completely with modernization.

Lemon balm is a member of the mint family, and it is native to Europe and Mediterranean. The herb grows to a maximum height of 28-59 inches, and its leaves have a mild lemon scent that is similar to mint. In the summer the herb produces small white flowers that are full of nectar.

Overview of Africa’s Post-Conflict History Historical Formal Institutions Colonial legacies persist in Africa in spite of a post-colonial era (Austin, 2010).
