[Blog assignment 1] WVS analysis : Religious person

 According to the statistic, the world's religious population is 84%. Nevertheless, there are countries where there are fewer religious people than non-religious people. Korea, Japan, China and Sweden are the countries that make a noticeable difference.

Secularized religion

Korea and Sweden have a high percentage of non-religious people for similar reasons. That is, antipathy to religion. Their antipathy to religion lies in the commercialization of religion. Reverend Richard Halverson lamented that the church came to the United States and became a "corporate," but Kim Jae-hwan, director of the movie "Quobadis," which criticized the mega church, adds a Korean version to it. "The church came to Korea and became a conglomerate." Here, a mega church means a church with more than 2,000 Sunday worshipers. There are also several super mega churches with tens of thousands of followers in Korea. This secularized religion caused many believers to leave. Even the young population has become antipathetic to religion. This is the same for Korea as well as Sweden. 

Especially in Korea, the reason for the rapid spread of Corona 19 is related to religious people, so it is expected that the antipathy toward religion has increased.

 


State atheism

The fact that there are China, Korea, and Japan in countries with high atheist ratios shows that East Asia has its own secular tendency. Due to this tendency and the influence of the state atheistic atheism theology policy, China has a strong non-religious tendency. Therefore, China is now the most non-religious country in the world with no religious influence.

Culturalization of religion

Shinto(神道) accounts for almost all of Japan's religions. However, Shinto does not recognize it as a religion because it is naturally embedded in life rather than chosen by the Japanese like other religions. It is more natural to think of it as a culture. Religion life in Japan is not carried out ideologically, but at a very secular stage. Some even said that Japanese are buried in a shrine when they are born, a church when they are married, and a temple when they die.

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.

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

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...
