THE IMPACT OF COMPETITION ON RELIGIOUS DEMOGRAPHICS IN KOREA
Get PDFKorea has undergone dramatic change since the 1970s when economic development kicked into high gear. Unprecedentedly fast industrialization accelerated the phenomenon of rural-urban migration. As a result, traditional society which had previously been centered by regional ties and kinship began eroding. The values and norms that were common in the past came to lose their power as Korean people have pursued "free market values," "growth," and "social stability." In other words, the acceleration of the free market compelled competition among individuals. The victories earned from these competitions secured capital surpluses whereas failure meant being degraded to the urban lower class. Due to this fear, the tendency to pursue stability became dominant among Koreans. During this era in the 1970s, religion explosively expanded for a certain period of time owing to social and psychological anxieties that had been born from previously unknown levels of competition in Korea
Generational Groups in Different Countries
Get PDFMost studies have been conducted on different generations in the United States and other Western countries. In this case, according to the prevailing culture in these countries, there is a special grouping for generations. This grouping, which consists of four generations (Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y), is now being used stereotyped in the major research literature in this field. But since local cultures and important historical events in different countries of the world have influenced the experiences of the people of each country, this grouping cannot be generalized to all countries of the world. The extent of this influence is such that in each geographic region and sometimes in each country we see different generational groups. This study, by examining some of the literature on generational groups in different countries, and the similarities and differences between them, has concluded that there is no way to speak of global generation groups and therefore it is necessary Prior to any generation research, generational groups of destination countries should be carefully identified and classified
