Why Do They Act Supreme?

Docility might be considered a dullard's birthmark in the agency, with cordiality not included in the language that dictates their routine. Familiarity toward visitors might be a regulatory taboo. Sympathy toward the Korean nationals away from home and in distress might be a disgrace to the Korean Embassy people abroad.


Their poor practices have been deep-rooted. The stiff and haughty culture of the diplomatic staffs stationed in foreign countries has enjoyed world-wide and time-honored notoriety. They are known to have been a sulking lot, giving rude responses, wielding red-tapes and reeling off excuses for their neglect and improprieties.


Why do they tend to be pompous anyway? Or how come they happen to act supreme over their brethren? Is there any convincing sociological theory to crack the weirdry?


One theory could be: subjected to oft-repeated foreign dominations, they might have brooded a dream to rule, not to be ruled, whichever format or whatever kinds of subjects they might be. In brief, they don't like to serve; they like to domineer.
