Globalization some videos for discuss, "The Spirit Level," Richard Wilkinson/PARK HYE MIN(박혜민)

 What are the main arguments of the video? What surprised you? Do you think the speaker is right?


The main argument in Richard Wilkinson's lecture is that inequality is not created simply by economic differences, but by various factors that create inequality, and that inequality affects society in some way. What surprised me about this video was that it first organized and visualized invisible conditions into data. And before watching the video, I was aware that a country with a large economic inequality is a country with a poor economy. However, it was surprising that the existing perception of rich or poor countries was broken through the income data and life expectancy data of each country.

 Since then, I have come to sympathize with the result that the middle part of society is not dependent on national income, economic growth, and the magnitude of differences between us, including relative income, social status, and social status within society. Having a concept like this, it moves in two directions, broadening or narrowing the gap in inequality. I remember comparing Japan and Sweden in two directions. Japan pays less taxes and provides less welfare by adjusting income evenly, while Sweden pays more taxes and provides more welfare after taxes. Although the two countries had different choices, it occurred to me that the result might be the attitude that Korea should take now, given that the index of inequality was minimized.

 Finally, I agree with the idea that it has created the feelings of people who create inequality through social mobility, violence, etc. with various factors, not income problems. What's wrong with this image that stands out in the present society? How to find a solution? It came to me that finding the root of the problem might be a problem that we should reconsider. Lastly, I agree with the speaker that the state should take responsibility for many of the factors that make up for inequality, and I hope that it will become a society that controls and narrows the inequality in Korean society one by one.

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?

The history of globalization

 In a broad sense of globalization, that is, in terms of social communication across national boundaries and regions, globalization has already existed, but it has become more significant in recent decades. Regarding the starting point of globalization, although academic circles have not yet reached a consensus, they generally agree that globalization is not a matter of recent decades, but has a longer history.

  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...
