Blog Assignment2 -Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory

In previous blog projects, people from all over the world analyzed the credibility of the government. I thought I could explain how to respond to Corona-19 through the different Hofstarter variables in each country, with the theme of Corona in the Hofstarter variables.

Now that the Covid-19 crisis has broken out, it is essential to prevent viruses among people through social distinctions. But sometimes you can see people without masks or social distance. Karen Douglas, a professor of psychology at Kent University in the U.K., published a study on the 29th issue of the international journal "British Journal of Social Psychology" that shows that people with collectivism actively participate in social distinctions and abide by hygiene rules rather than those with individualism tendencies.

The results showed that people with individualistic tendencies are less active in participating in social distance-keeping and complying with hygiene regulations. It is analyzed that this phenomenon occurs because people with individualistic tendencies believe in the Korona 19 conspiracy theory or feel more helpless in the pandemics situation.

 So I decided to pay attention to individualism, among the variables of Hofstadter. 

The above countries selected China, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States, and decided to analyze them into Asian and non-Asian countries. 

First of all, for Asian countries such as Korea and China, it can be seen that they are lower than non-Asian countries such as Britain and the United States. In these Asian countries, we could see that they placed greater emphasis on collectivism than on individualism. As of 9 p.m. on October 18, 2020, the infection rate was actually higher in Britain and the United States than in Korea and China, which could explain that individualism was having some effect on covid-19 infections.

And when you look at the uncertified avoidance variable, you can see that Korea's figure is the most overwhelmingly high. This is a unique national characteristic of Korea, given that the same Asian country, China, represents a figure of 30. Confidence is a very important factor in the current spread of Covid-19. In a world full of uncertainty that may change in what direction it is now, I think making a slightly more certain choice will lead the nation or the individual in a better direction. So in this regard, I think Korea has moved more carefully in the covid-19 era, and has shown a response to the best Covid-19 among the four countries.
