World Values Survey:Respect for individual human rights nowadays (South Korea, China, Japan by age)


 I compared the perceptions of three countries, China and Japan, which are adjacent to Korea, on respect for individual human rights.
Since the issue of individual human rights corresponds to a basic human right, all of them should be respected regardless of the country.



 In the case of Japan, it can be seen that the percentage of respondents to 'Don't Know' is high every time regardless of age. 
In addition, the younger the respondents were, the more they felt that individual human rights were not respected or that they were not familiar with respect for individual human rights.

 South Korea is the age groups, individuals I think that respect for human rights more than 80 percent response. 82.2% of Koreans chose 'Fairly much respect' in the 30-49 age group, the highest response rate among all respondents.
In addition, looking at the Korean response of each indicator, there is a characteristic that there is no 'Don't know' and 'No answer'. 






  
 Finally, China had the largest number of people who answered that individual human rights were respected. It occupies the highest response rate of 'A great deal of respect' in all tables. Referring to the table of those in their 50s and older, 34.4% of China said they were fully respected, accounting for the highest satisfaction among 'A great deal of respect' respondents.

 Except for Japan, the sum of "A great deal of respect" and "Fairly much respect" in Korea and China exceeds 80% in all age groups. From the above data, it can be seen that Japan has a lower awareness of respect for individual human rights than the other two countries.



 Looking at "The Angelhart-Welzel World Cultural Map 2022," it can be seen that all three countries, Korea, China, and Japan, belong to the "Confucian" area. I think it emphasized traditional secular values and showed higher satisfaction because individual human rights were also educated. In addition, since all three countries belong to developed countries, I think these results can be seen.

[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...
