6. Can’t We All Just Get Along?

How can we work with other minority groups to unify our voices?

Immigration is a real issue that hits hard at home for many Korean Americans. What's the real story? What are the solutions?
9. Gender Issues
Korean American women are no longer holding on to their pots and pans. They are stepping out of their kitchens and emerging as the leaders of our society. What are the obstacles they must overcome? How has their increased visibility affected society?
