The answer to "Why are you taking this class?"

[Blog Project Assignment 2] Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory : South Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States

  I would like to compare the cultural differences between East Asia and the West based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory. So, I chose Korea and Japan as East Asian countries and the united kingdom and the United States as Western countries. Of course these countries do not represent the whole, but we can make a rough comparison through looking at each Hofstede's cultural dimensions by country.

Most of country answered "Quite a lot" as 35.9%.  What should be noted is that China accounted for the largest percentage in a great deal overwhelmingly.   People in China were very confident about their government.  But I thought there must be another reason for this result. This may be a very dangerous interpretation, but I've seen an article before.   https://theprint.in/opinion/china-is-an-enemy-of-freedom-of-thought-it-wants-the-same-from-other-powerful-nations/502708/ The above articl...

 1) Summary Over time, as technology advances, all over the world people can contact each other through Internet, airplane, various media flatform and so on. And naturally we discussed the idea of globalization and It’s still ongoing. But until 1980s or 1990 early, globalization have not been fully accepted in academic part. Since The term globalization has not been widely used for a long time, and is being discussed in various ways and dimension, It’s hard to define straight one word or sentence what that is. Velho(1997) said about globalization in objective and horizon perspective. According to his perspective, especially object approach, regard globalization as a thinking of single process. And he thinks even though world is undergoing globalization each country has different aspect. There’s recognition difference between 1900s and 2000s about globalization. In the late 1900s, people who looked at globalization in economic perspective were more dominant. But after the late 1990 ...
