In English, manners are defined as a way of behavior and/ or polite ways of social conduct. In contrast, Koreans understand "manners" [ye-jeol] to imply "behaving with discipline" and/or "behaving moderately" in everyday life. After the unavoidable impact of Western influence and Westernized Japanese invasions during the 19th and 20th centuries, Koreans gradually hybridized their customs beginning with greetings. However, can these hybrid customs totally exclude their traditional way? How is Confucianism reflected in contemporary Korean greetings? How can Confucian-based Korean hybrid greetings be explained by High and Low Context Culture Concepts? Korea can be considered a Korean style high-context society due to its long history as a relatively homogeneous ethnic group. Koreans have a high level of communication based on shared contexts.
