After concluding my research, I showed a correlation between the usage of Cyworld and the increased negative interest in only physical appearance.  I also showed how the usage of Cyworld is one of the many things dividing the younger generation from the older generation.  The Internet allows many South Korean adolescents and young adults the freedom from their confined and restricted society; this in turn leads to many Western ideas and images of beauty being incorpated and followed after by entertainers and young people alike.  However, Cyworld is to be held solely responsible for the increased narcissism, materialism, and distance from the older generation of South Korean adolescents; change within a developing country is inevitable.  However, the degree to which South Korea has 'modernized' is what is being focused in this project.  I am not trying to prove that Cyworld is the sole causing factor for these negative outcomes, I am proving that there is a correlation between them.  I do believe that the results from my survey and my final conclusion are valid, but it is difficult to prove definite and concrete causality due to the subjective and biased nature of the subjects, along with the high likelyhood of human error within the surveys.

     I gained so much through this study; this study really touched me personally.  I recieved the chance to reach out past the U.S. internationally.  Through researching and gathering information for this project, I gained a whole new perspective and outlook on South Korean society.  Whereas I was once apathetic and indifferent to the political, sociological, and psychological situation of my country, now I feel deeply regarding these issues, especially when it has to do with my generation.  Althought I am all for change and modernization, I do not want my generation to lose focus of our history and background.  I want my generation to have a sense of pride for our nation and our nationality, both physically and spiritually.  I would like my generation to see past the Photoshopped pictures, the Gucci handbags, and the dotori and see a booming beautiful country that we can shape with our fresh new ideas and combined effort.
