As Soon Won Park presents, connected with the colonial history of Korea, "history is now understood not simply as one aspect of a national hmogenous culture, tradition and nation-state, but in more inclusive, complex and pluralistic terms." (Shin, 1999, pg 128) the new type of history that Park talks about is somehow similar to what Habermas is also talking about and it deals with a more complex understanding of the past than just in Marxists of Weberian terms
There is a clear need for "social historians willing to reassert the importance of teaching about processes rather than events and eager to dispute a narrowing or rigidification of the history canon." (Stearns, 2003) Bibliography Marx, Karl
Thompson, talking about 18th century social movements, argues that Marxist analysis on history is reductionist as it obliterates "the complexities of motive, behaviour, and function, which, if they noted it in the work of their marxist analogues, would make them protest." (Thompson, 1971) in an attempt to reconstruct the understanding mechanisms of social history, the German sociologist and philosopher Jurgen Habermas argues that what is needed in Marx's legacy for the present is the human element

One of the tenets of Confucian is "dedication to learning as a lifelong spiritual calling, emphasis on social relationships and moral integrity despite the temptations of fame, power and wealth." (Jeffrey L.R., 2013:Pp 7) This expressly drives everyone within the three countries to keep seeking knowledge with the moral integrity as a cornerstone hence the quick development
Confucianism has a very immense continuity even though it has travelled widely and has been rewritten throughout time in history. There have been a lot of East Asian histographies, writings and rewritings of the Confucian legacy within the East Asian modernization since late 19th century (Kim, 2009)
Suddenly Confucianism is seen not to be a barrier to success but the force that is behind success.
