Analyzing Hofstede value: Australia and 3 countries in Northeast Asia

 





I compared Australia and 3 countries in Northeast Asia.

 Most noticeable value is 'Individualism'. Among 3 countries in Northeast Asia, Japan has highest point in 'Individualism' part. In Japan, there is a culture 'Hon-bab'. It means having meals alone. The culture had spread in Korea too. Before that, Korean hesitated visit restaurant alone because Korean had thought people should have meals with others like family. In this point, Japan seemed have more individualism. But it is still lower than Australia. Japanese said they afraid others eyes because it makes them think they are in surveillance. And that makes Japanese doing something alone for avoid others surveillance. So, Japanese 'Individualism' point is not only highest in Northeast Asia but lower than Australia.

In 'Masculinity' part, Japan has highest point among 4 countries. In japan, fierce competition continued to be a problem. For resolve, Japan made 'Yutori generation'. 'Yutori' means relaxation. Students in 'Yutori generation' are educated without competition. But Japanese criticized them because 'Yutori generation' didn't have passion. It means Japanese still think competition in society is necessary. The lowest country was Korea. But I can't admit this result. Because I have experienced too many competition and meritocracy.

is such fight visible in your country?

Summary) Currently, Korea is confused. The sudden increase in taxes and various regulations greatly affected housing and salaries. It's a real mess right now. With the inauguration of the new administration, our country has become very difficult. They're taking all the money away from the people who are misleading the people. This is very wrong. Rich people are stealing money even though they didn't save it by doing bad things. Poor people hiding stirred up the government's fault. As a result, the fight between the poor and the rich continues. It is very wrong to do this. Interesting) Many countries are fighting with taxes. Is this really right? The country should be united, but each of them is fighting for each other's right. This is very wrong, and we'll have to get it right soon. Question) What are we going to do? What can we do for those who are instigated? They are no longer tempted by the government to think properly. What can we help you with?

  1、Power distance Power distance is the degree of power and dictatorship of leadership in an organization, and the extent to which a society can accept the inequality of power distribution in an organization. China's index is 80, and people generally agree that power inequality in organizations, the relationship between superiors and subordinates tends to be polarized, and subordinates can not resist the authority of their superiors, and subordinates are willing to be instructed and led. Actions beyond power are not advocated. This may be because of China's socialist system, the Communist Party of China in China is a one-party ruling, everyone has become accustomed to this system. Australia's index is 36. In various organizations in Australia, hierarchies are established for convenience needs and superiors are approachable.
