[Blog Assignment 1] WVS analysis : Abortion acceptable / Duty towards society to have children


The controversy over abortion is heating up again in Korea after the government announced a legislative notice allowing abortions up to 14 weeks of pregnancy. The progressive women's community calls for permission to abort, while conservative groups and religious groups insist on opposing abortion.


I'm going to investigate the degree of abortion acceptable by country. Then I will analyze the link between abortion and the obligation to have a national child by countries. Through this analysis , I hope we can think about our country's direction together.

 




The graph above shows the degree of acceptance for abortion by country. The survey was conducted in Iran, Japan, South Korea and Sweden. 


Iran is one of the country that values survival and traditional values, while Sweden is one of the country that values secular-rational and self-expression. Both Korea and Japan are Confucian-culture countries, but Japan values self-expression and secular-rational values more than Korea.


Sweden is the most open country to abortion, about 77 percent. Sweden is the most open country to abortion, about 77 percent, about 11%. Countries that value traditional values are negative about abortion. 


Korea has lower tolerance for abortion than Japan, as Japan emphasizes secular-rational value more than Korea. Although they are in the same Confucian culture, the degree of acceptance varies depending on the value they value.








Next, I will investigate how they think about duty to society to have children by countries. The highest country that think it is duty is Iran, 40% (Ratio of Agree strongly and agree). Sweden, on the other hand, has the highest percentage of what it considers mandatory, 76.5% (Ratio of disagree and disagree strongly)


Korea is the second country, 52.1%(Ratio of Agree strongly and agree) that thinks it is mandatory to have children and Japan is the third, 27%(Ratio of Agree strongly and agree)


Interestingly, countries that think that having children is a duty to society have a higher rate of anti-abortion.


Iran has the highest rate of opposition to abortion and Sweden has the highest percentage in favor of abortion. Iran had the highest percentage of respondents who said it was mandatory to have children, while Sweden had the lowest.


Korea was the second country to oppose abortion and the second country to think it is mandatory to have children. Japan was the second country in favor of abortion, and the second country in the opinion that giving birth is not an obligation.


The more they think of it as a duty, the more they tend to oppose abortion. This is largely related to the traditional value. The more important they value this value, the more important they value of family. Because traditional family values are important, they oppose abortion and think it is mandatory to have children.


Like this, I looked into abortion and duty to society to have children. I hope my analysis gives you time to think about what posture you should have.

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. Managers rely on the expertise and skills of employees and information and advice are often exchanged between superiors and subordinates. Communicati...
