world values
that Ingleheart World Values Survey is giving me a headache. and Catchmeladies is right, if you stare at it long enough, it stares back at you.What I HATE about it is how few countries are surveyed and how they've come to such startling conclusions, conveniently omitting countries that (to me anyway) might not fit.
And what the heck is "Africa" and "South Asia" and "Confucian" and "English-Speaking" vs Protestant and Catholic Europe? Seems far too convenient for me. Where would Cuba fit in? Ex-Communist or Latin America? Where would Malaysia fit in? Secular or Traditional? You know what, I suspect it might even fit into Confucian. and WHY does Israel fit into Europe? because it doesn't. Its values simply correlate.
Bah. I told you. That thing is giving me a headache.
