World Values Survey Wave 7: 2017-2022- State of health (China South Korea and Japan)

WVS:Analysis of the health state of three countries, China, South Korea and Japan





According to the data of the Seventh World Values Survey, what can be obtained is that generally speaking, the ratio of the column that the health situation of the three countries is considered to be very good is not very high, and the gap is not very obvious.But in the column that is considered good, South Korea's value is the highest with 74.7%!
The  interesting thing is that there are some obvious changes in the gap by age. When the age is 50 or above, China has the highest values in the very good column, with 22.2 percent, Japan 8.8 percent, and South Korea 2.6 percent.Although the ratio of South Korea's opinion that it is very good is not large, it has the largest proportion among the three countries in the column of "good", with 80% believing it is good.




On the Inglehart-Welzer cultural map, it can be seen that China, Korea and Japan are in the same plate. Geographically speaking, the three Asian countries are also neighboring countries, and the overall differences in cultural, dietary and living habits are not very large.
I think the reason for the disparate changes in health conditions is that first of all, Koreans pay attention not only to body management but also to health management. Through regular inspections, they can understand their physical condition and find and solve health problems in a timely manner. In addition, Korean men are obliged to do military service. Joining the military in China is a voluntary act, which is carried out through the registration and selection process.Also, I think the soil and water in South Korea is also relatively good. With the advantages of nature, the health quality will not be too bad.

[Hofstede's dimensions] Comparing South Korea, China & Japan

Image
   I compared Korea, China, and Japan using Hofstede's dimension. What are the cultural measures of neighboring countries with similar cultures? [Masculinity]  Japan's index was the highest with 95 points. I think this is related to the indicator of individualism. In the case of individual-centered Japan, not group-centered, it focuses on individual performance and shows a strong preference for achievement or success. Therefore, I think a high number came out of Masculinity. On the other hand, in Korea, efforts are made to reduce unnecessary conflicts and maintaining relationships is important. Therefore, I think it shows a relatively low score in Masculinity. [Long Term Orientation]   The reason why Korea scored 100 points in terms of long-term orientation is that Korea is such a practical and long-term-oriented society. The Hofstede Insight website says Korea encourages saving and effort in modern education as a way to prepare for the future. However, both cou...

Hofstede's dimensions_ Comparing South Korea, China, Japan (MINJI JEONG)

Image
       Korea, China, and Japan are three neighboring countries in Central Asia and have many cultural connections. Therefore, the three countries were compared through the Hofstede's index. First, it is Power Distanced. This is an indicator of the hierarchical degree of each country. The hierarchies of the three countries are in the order of China, Korea, and Japan.      In terms of individualism , Japan has the highest score of 46. It can be interpreted that this item means the degree of personalization of the country. In comparison, China and Korea recorded around 20 points. This is presumed to be largely influenced by 'collectiveism', a virtue of society that has been emphasized since ancient times.   This can also be found to be related to the number of masculinity . Japan also has the highest score of 95. China followed with 66 points and South Korea with 39 points. I think it reflects Japan's strong individualism and meritocracy.   The...

Reading Assignment 4: Economic and Globalization -CAI YAYU

  A ）  Summary The term "economic globalization" was first coined by T. Levy in 1985, but there is still no agreed definition. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), "economic globalization refers to the increase in the scale and form of cross-border trade in goods and services and capital flows, as well as the widespread and rapid diffusion of technology that has increased the interdependence of the world's economies". According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), "economic globalization can be seen as a process in which economies, markets, technologies and forms of communication are increasingly global in character and national and local identities are diminishing". To this end, economic globalization can be understood in three ways: firstly, the strengthening of economic ties and the increasing interdependence of countries around the world; secondly, the growing convergence of domestic economic rules; a...
