Culture Comparison (South Korea & Mexico)

 I compare with two aspect of South Korea and France. There are differences in Individualism, Long Term Orientation and Indulgence and there are similarities in Masculinity. Firstly, South Korea, with a score of 18 is considered a collectivistic society. This is clear in a close long-term commitment to the member 'group', be that a family, extended family, or extended relationships. However, France, with a score of 71, is shown to be an individualist society. Parents make their children emotionally independent with regard to groups in which they belong. This means that  one is only supposed to take care of oneself and one’s family.
 Secondly, South Korea scores 39 on this dimension and is thus considered a Feminine society. In Feminine countries the focus is on “working in order to live". With a score of 43, France has a somewhat Feminine culture. French culture in terms of the model has, however, another unique characteristic. The upper class scores Feminine while the working class scores Masculine. This characteristic has not been found in any other country.
 Lastly, At 100, South Korea scores as one of the most long-term oriented societies. People live their lives guided by virtues and practical good examples. France scores high (63) in this dimension, making it pragmatic. In societies with a pragmatic orientation, people believe that truth depends very much on situation, context and time. They show an ability to adapt traditions easily to changed conditions, a strong propensity to save and invest, thriftiness, and perseverance in achieving results.
