South Korea achieved rapid modernization and experienced remarkable economic and social development.

Have our political culture and social habits matured as quickly as our institutions?
Korean politicians often embrace political ideals developed in the West.
But when putting those ideals into practice, do we sometimes rely on old political habits rather than the principles behind them?
The abolition of the prosecution office raises another question:
Can a modern political system be built without first developing a mature political culture?
