[ Blog Assignment 1 ] WVS analysis : Important in life: Politics



Politics is the activity of acquiring, maintaining and exercising state power, and it is the work of making people live decent lives and rectifying social order. Every country in the world has its own political system. I looked into how important politics is for the people of Korea, China, Japan and the United States through the WVS analysis.

Before we get to the point, Each of these countries has a different political system. For first, China has the political system of a one-party communist dictatorship. Japan has a parliamentary cabinet system under which state affairs are run through the National Assembly and the Cabinet. And South Korea is implementing a presidential system based on a democratic republic. United States operates under the same presidential system as South Korea, but differs in the parliamentary system. 



 

They divided the evaluation of how important politics is in life into Very important, Rather important, Not very important, Not at all important, Don't know and No answer. 

The data were based on China in 2018, Japan in 2019, South Korea in 2018 and the United States in 2017. 

China has the highest percentage of respondents who say it is very important. On the contrary, Korea has the lowest percentage, 8.0%. 

The percentage of people who think it is not important was high in order of China, Korea, the United States and Japan. 

In China, the polarization of the positive and the opposite sides of the political importance was most pronounced.

In conclusion, Japan considers politics the most important than other countries. In all four countries, however, more than half of the respondents said politics is important.

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.

Reading 2. What is the relation between culture and globalization? / Kim Yoon(김윤)

Summary John Tomlinson wrote a paper on the correlation between globalization and culture. Today, globalization is well known as a multidimensional process in which areas of economy, politics, technology, media, environment and culture taking place simultaneously. In addition, the boundaries between them are vague and often appear to be joined together. This connectivity increases and affects human life. Therefore, understanding these trends makes us keep in mind the complex and multidimensional processes between them. John saw this understanding as inseparable from the capitalist system, citing two reasons. The first is because we are not making simple imperialist judgments with this. Second, because this distorts understanding at the cultural level.   One of the common speculations about globalization is that it will lead to a single world culture. There is a reason why this seems possible. Because we can see a unified effect, especially in connecting other spiritual memories, s...
