Blog assignment 2 _ Hofstede insights / Taeyi Lim

 


First of all, if you look at the power distance, Korea was the highest, and Canada and Germany were similar. This is a long power distribution compared to the other two countries, and it can be said that Korea believes that the income distribution of society is uneven, that inequality exists between classes, and that it is a basic fact of society in the use of power.

In terms of Individualism, you can see that the difference between Canada and Korea is very big. Canada has a strong sense of 'I' and claims privacy rights. On the other hand, I think Korea should have a strong sense of "us" and be able to think importantly about its membership and harmonize.

There was no apparent difference in terms of Masculinity. Among them, Korea has a low level of Masculinity, which means that it does not think the balance between family and work is important and there is a difference in social roles.

Uncertainty Avoidance is the highest in Korea, which is the same as the result I expected. Koreans have strong avoidance of uncertainty. I feel anxious and stressed about things happening that I didn't expect, and I feel the need for clarity and structure.

In terms of the following Long-Term Orientation, surprisingly, Korea had a figure of 100. Korea considers saving and patience as important goals in a future-oriented way and can adapt to the fast and changing environment of national growth. On the other hand, Canada seems to think about the present, and it seems to blame luck for success and failure.

Finally, Canada was the highest in terms of indulgence. This means that it is tolerant, and the importance of leisure is great and maintaining the order of the country is not a priority. However, Korea does not feel the importance of leisure and demands stricter norms.

Overall results show that Germany generally had moderate figures in six aspects. The lowest two parts show that Germany has a fair distribution of income in society, and religion also emphasizes the equality of believers and is a little binding.

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...

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...
