World Value Survey--LI LINLIN

The topic of the world value survey data I chose homosexuality.

In total, 35 countries have legalized same-sex marriage nationally or non-nationally. But only one region in Asia has legalized it.So I chose three Asian countries, China, South Korea and Singapore, and compared their data.

Homosexuality acceptance



As you can see from the data and graph, China is the least accepting of homosexuality, and Singapore is relatively the highest of the three countries.

However, if we find the corresponding positions of these three countries in the Inglehart-Welzel World Cultural Map we will find that Singapore is more traditional.


The reason for choosing these three countries for comparison is that they all belong to the survival index of minus0.5 to 0 Among them, China and Singapore have the same survival index of minus0.10, and South Korea has a minus0.46.

For the acceptance of homosexuality, choose from the number 1 to 10, and the following graph provides an intuitive answer.



As can be seen from this graph, the overall acceptance of the homosexual community
in the three countries is still low, concentrated in the acceptance level of 1-5.

When asked whether they would mind if their neighbors were gay, more than half of respondents in China and South Korea said yes. In Singapore, however, nearly three-quarters of survey participants chose not to mind.

Based on the survey data of different age groups, I made three graphs. It can also be seen that the influence of age on the results is obvious.



From this line chart, we can see more directly how much each age group in each country cares about their neighbors being homosexuality.


The last graph is a survey on whether homosexual couples are as good parents as other couples.



China has the strongest opposition, while South Korea and Singapore have similar numbers. 
And finally, on this issue, the contrast between male and female choices. According to the data, the difference in choice between men and women is not large, which can be clearly seen in the graph.

Introduction to our blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from the Fall 2023 class in Media Trends and Globalization at the Hanyang University in Korea will discuss their weekly readings and activities. For each section of the course, you are expected to post a blog post on relevant readings on our blog here and make a comment on another student's post. An ideal commentary should be about 800 words, divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incorporated into our class discussions. You are allowed to quote an interesting passage from the text(s) you've read, but the quotes will not count toward any length requirements. Blog’s deadline is always: Sunday, midnight, of the week the question is poste...

(W3-1)Media Trends and Globalization Classroom QnA - Choi Min Joon

 Q1. How could a fusion culture look in 100 years? A1.  Globalization is accelerating further with advances in technology. The boundaries between countries will be blurred, and the development of technology will reduce language barriers between countries, leading to more cultural exchanges. In 100 years, I think the convergence culture will become a new type of culture, not a global culture led by major countries around the world. Simultaneous new cultures will emerge in many forms, and those cultures will mix with each other and create new cultures. The difference between this convergence culture and global culture is that there is no major country leading the culture, but the earth evolves into a true global culture in which culture is born and exchanged immediately like a country. Q2.  Can cultures be compared? Can we argue that some cultures are better than others? A2.  I think it is possible to compare between cultures. There are certainly commonalities and...

China and globalization BAILINHAN

  Summary of the Reading/Topic China’s relationship with globalization is one of the most significant stories of the modern era. Over the past few decades, China has transformed itself from a relatively closed economy to a global powerhouse. By integrating into the world economy, China has benefited immensely, achieving rapid economic growth, technological advancement, and elevated geopolitical influence. Key milestones include its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 and its rise as the world’s largest exporter. However, this relationship is complex. While globalization has opened up new opportunities for China, it has also introduced challenges. Issues such as trade tensions, reliance on global markets, and environmental concerns highlight the downsides of globalization. Additionally, China's rise has reshaped the global order, prompting debates about its influence on global governance and economic norms. What is the Relation Between China and Globalization? Ch...
