ASIAN CULTURE

THE 2 MORE RELEVANT POINT FOR ME!

1.  Even though we think people in Asia are all the same, most in China, Japan and Korea case. We can see from Hofstede analisys that they are really different in the way of acting. Power distance tend to be hierarchical but in Japan is more neutral because in   japanesse education they learn that everyone born equal. We can say that Japan is the “black point” in terms of behavior on Asia, they also are more individualistic than other cultures, they don´t have extended family.

All of these cultures have a strong tendency to be more masculinity because they are more competitive and drive for excellence and perfection in production, service and presentation, better to say that in all aspects of life. They have the more masculinity country (japan).

2. Confusian Asia, even they have very different ways of thinking, they have still something that align their culture and is the influence of confusionism which m ore than a religion for them is a philosophy, a lifestyle. Is humanistic and a practice  that believes that human is teachable, improvableand perfectible, Confucianism focuses on the cultivation of virtue and maintenance of ethics

This could become relevant because is important to know also these cultures that we see so far from us but are cultures that are getting a big piece of the cake in terms of economy, production and influence in the world. So, understand how they act and they doing business way can help us to be more prepare at the time of face it.  

QUESTION  RESEARCH:

What is sinosphere? 

This word makes reference to a group of countries that were historically influences by the Chinese culture, and in the same way, by confucianism. These countries are: China, 

Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore.

IS important because they share a common root of their language 

derived from Chinese which make them share also some customs and 

believes, this is compared (to be more understood) as "latin" when describes

cultural behaviors due to that.us in latin america, we have a same language root and some similar.

The Sinosphere’s roots lie with the Han expansion into southern China during the Tang dynasty (618-907). By the 12th century, the newly Sinofied southern Chinese had started moving south. There they created trade-oriented colonies like Vietnam, Burma, Malaya and the island of Java. In the 1600s Chinese settlers overcame the aboriginal inhabitants of Taiwan, creating another powerful base in the South China Sea.

but, In the past few decades North American regions such as Silicon Valley, Southern California, Toronto, Vancouver and New York-New Jersey have been added to the mix, overall the entire overseas Chinese population has risen to nearly 40 million
