korean

Technogical factors.

South Korea is now at a critical inflection point. The country has succeeded in becoming an economic
powerhouse with a technological edge, especially through big conglomerations manufacturing software
and hardware.The scene is starting to change. Startups are increasing in number and furthering their
influence and impact on the market.Mindsets, cultural differences and the language are hurdles that
foreigners face when entering the South Korean market, though many more factors make it an attractive
one.

religious and philosophical factors.

Freedom of religion is guaranteed by the Constitution in Korea. According to a 1995 social statistics
survey, 50.7 percent of Koreans follow a specific religious faith. Buddhists account for some 46 percent
followed by Protestants at 39 percent and Catholics at 13 percent of the religious population.

cultural values, belief and way of living factors.

Korean culture is profoundly influenced by Confucian principles and this pervades not only personal
lives, but also business.

Confucianism supports group harmony, respect for elders and authority, the importance of family,
friendship and ancestors, and also, tradition.

political and legal factors.

The politics of the Republic of Korea take place in the framework of a presidential representative
democratic republic, whereby the president is the head of state, and of a multi-party system. The
government exercises executive power and legislative power is vested in both the government and the
National Assembly.
economic factors.

South Korea’s economic freedom score is 74.6, making its economy the 19th freest in the 2022 Index.
South Korea is ranked 5th among 39 countries in the Asia–Pacific region, and its overall score is above
the regional and world averages.Over the past five years, the South Korean economy has followed a
track similar to those of many other countries: slowing growth from 2017 through 2019, negative
growth in 2020, and recovery in 2021. During the same period, levels of economic freedom have
remained largely unchanged. With significant score increases for property rights and judicial
effectiveness offset by losses in business freedom and a higher tax rate, South Korea has recorded a
negligible 0.3-point overall gain of economic freedom since 2017 and remains in the middle ranks of the
“Mostly Free” countries. Fiscal health is robust, but investment freedom and financial freedom are
relatively weak.

educational factors.

The Korean public education structure is divided into three parts: six years of primary school, followed
by three years of middle school and then three years of high school. In 1996 only about five percent of
Korea's high schools were coeducational. The proportion of coeducational schools has increased by
almost ten percent. However, classes in many coeducational high schools are still divided along gender
lines. The curriculum is standardized so now both boys and girls study technology and domestic science.

kinship and social factors.

Koreans are very family-oriented. Family members are very loyal to each other and dedicated to
maintaining their nexus (characteristic of collectivist societies). In some traditional/rural social circles,
families can be so defining that they are perceived as having a collective face. Therefore, the act of an
individual can impact the perception of the entire family by others.

filipino

Technological factors.
A growing middle class and young population and their love for tech products and services have been
the key drivers behind this growing demand. The use of smartphones and social media has permeated
every socio income class in the Philippines.

religious and philosophical factors.

The Philippines proudly boasts to be the only Christian nation in Asia. More than 86 percent of the
population is Roman Catholic, 6 percent belong to various nationalized Christian cults, and another 2
percent belong to well over 100 Protestant denominations.Filipino Philosophy is the attitude, worldview,
and notion of the natural citizens of the Philippines towards the day-to-day experiences in life, religion,
communication, survival, interrelationship with people and intra-relationship with his sakop or to
oneself – the “I,” and the uplifting of one's soul.

cultural values,belief and way of living factors.

A sense of national identity and pride emerged out of struggles for Philippine independence. However,
loyalties remain foremost with one's family and place of birth. Key values such fellowship, respect and
acceptance are found throughout the culture, with many Filipinos displaying a warming and hospitable
demeanour.

political and legal factors.

The Philippines has a presidential system with the president being the head of state, the head of
government, and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. It is a unitary state; however, the
Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) is mostly free from the control of the
national government.The political environment is relatively stable; however, nepotism, controversial
anti-drugs campaigns, and extra-judicial killings of suspects in the Philippines have drawn a lot of local
and international criticisms. Though the government has launched wars, corruption still remains a major
problem in the country (Mourdoukoutas, 2018).

economic factors.
Economic growth has gone through boom and bust cycles, and recent episodes of moderate economic
expansion have had limited impact on the poor. Great inequality across income brackets, regions, and
sectors, as well as unmanaged population growth, are considered some of the key factors constraining
poverty reduction efforts.

educational factors.

Studies and fact-finding commissions have shown that the deteriorating quality of education is due to
the low government budget for education, poor quality of teachers, poor management of schools, poor
school facilities such as laboratory and library facilities, poor learning environment, and the content of
the curriculum.

kinship and social factors.

Philippine kinship uses the generational system in kinship terminology to define family. It is one of the
more simple classificatory systems of kinship (especially if compared to the complex English-language
kinship system, e.g., cousin). One's genetic relationship or bloodline is often overridden by the desire to
show proper respect that is due in the Philippine culture to age and the nature of the relationship, which
are considered more important.

indian

technological factors.

TechnologyScience and Technology have always been an integral part of Indian culture. Natural
philosophy, as it was termed in those ancient times, was pursued vigorously at institutions of higher
learning. The Indian Renaissance, which coincided with our independence struggle, at the dawn of 1900s
witnessed great strides made by Indian scientists. This innate ability to perform creatively in science
came to be backed with an institutional setup and strong state support after the country’s
independence in 1947. Since then, the Government of India has spared no effort to establish a modern
S&T infrastructure in the country. The Department of Science and Technology plays a pivotal role in
promotion of science and technology in the country.
religious and philosophical factors.

The majority of Asian Indians practice the Hinduism. The other major regions are Sikhism, Buddhism,
Jainism, Christianity and Islam; and a small percentage of population practice Judaism, Zoroastrianism,
and Baha'I' Faith.Indian philosophies share many concepts such as dharma, karma, samsara, dukkha,
renunciation, meditation, with almost all of them focusing on the ultimate goal of liberation of the
individual from dukkha and samsara through diverse range of spiritual practices (moksha, nirvana).

cultural values, belief and way of living factors.

Indian culture is the heritage of social norms, ethical values, traditional customs, belief systems, political
systems, artifacts and technologies that originated in or are associated with the ethno-linguistically
diverse India. The term also applies beyond India to countries and cultures whose histories are strongly
connected to India by immigration, colonisation, or influence, particularly in South Asia and Southeast
Asia. India's languages, religions, dance, music, architecture, food and customs differ from place to place
within the country.

political and legal factors.

Politics of India works within the framework of the country's Constitution. India is a parliamentary
democratic secular republic in which the president of India is the head of state & first citizen of India and
the prime minister of India is the head of government. It is based on the federal structure of
government, although the word is not used in the Constitution itself.

economic factors.

The economy of India has transitioned from a mixed planned economy to a mixed middle-income
developing social market economy with notable state participation in strategic sectors.It is the world's
fifth-largest economy by nominal GDP and the third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). According
to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), on a per capita income basis, India ranked 142nd by GDP
(nominal) and 125th by GDP (PPP).From independence in 1947 until 1991, successive governments
followed Soviet style planned economy and promoted protectionist economic policies, with extensive
state intervention and economic regulation. This is characterised as dirigism, in the form of the License
Raj.The end of the Cold War and an acute balance of payments crisis in 1991 led to the adoption of a
broad economic liberalisation in India.Since the start of the 21st century, annual average GDP growth
has been 6% to 7%,and from 2013 to 2018, India was the world's fastest growing major economy,
surpassing China. Economy of the Indian subcontinent was the largest in the world for most of the
recorded history up until the onset of colonialism in early 19th century.Share of Indian economy is 7.5%
of world economy by PPP terms.

educational factors.

Education in India is primarily managed by state-run public education system, which fall under the
command of the government at three levels: central, state and local. Under various articles of the Indian
Constitution and the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, free and compulsory
education is provided as a fundamental right to children aged 6 to 14. The approximate ratio of public
schools to private schools in India is 7:5

kinship and social factors.

In India, we generally find the patrilineal and matrilineal descent systems. Of the two, patrilineal system
is more common. The description and analysis of kin relationships in a descent group have given us a
fairly comprehensive sociological understanding of certain types of kinship systems in India.

arab

technological factors

Science and technology enhance the capabilities of states and societies to obtain and transform
resources necessary for their development and advancement. On the other hand, lack of scientific
knowledge and access to technology not only affects a country’s level of development but also
jeopardises its national security. In an anarchic international system, security interdependence implies
that the security of a state is closely tied to the security of the other states and especially its neighbours.
Since national securities are interdependent, the security or insecurity of a state may have a
considerable impact not only on the security of its immediate neighbours but also on the security of the
whole region in which it is geographically embedded (regional security).

religious and philosophical factors.

Arabian religion, polytheistic beliefs and practices that existed in Arabia before the rise of Islam in the
7th century CE. Arabia is here understood in the broad sense of the term to include the confines of the
Syrian Desert. The religion of Palmyra, which belongs to the Aramaic sphere, is excluded from this
account. The monotheistic religions that had already spread in Arabia before the arrival of Islam are also
mentioned briefly. Arabian philosophy usually denotes the philosophical thought of those inhabitants of
the Islamic world who were influenced by Greek learning but used the Arabic language as their medium
of expression. An Arabian philosopher, therefore, was not necessarily a native of the Arabian peninsula
but perhaps a native of Persia, like Avicenna, or of Spain, like Averroës, or of any of the lands conquered
by the followers of Muḥammad. Since the Arabic word for philosopher, failasūf, referred to one who
made use of Greek learning, this account of Arabian philosophy begins with the transmission of Greek
culture to the Arabic-speaking world, continues with an introduction to the thought of the major
Arabian philosophers and the problems they discuss, and concludes with an indication of their influence
on the Christian philosophers of the Middle Ages.

cultural values,belief and way of living factors.

Saudi culture is fundamentally traditional and conservative. Islam has an extensive influence on society,
guiding people’s social, familial, political and legal lives. The Saudi people generally share a strong moral
code and cultural values, such as hospitality, loyalty and a sense of duty to support their community.
They are often highly aware of their personal honour and integrity. However, the country is also highly
modernised and industrialised. At the time of writing, social norms and rules of behaviour are being
transformed rapidly as the people balance their cultural traditions with the modern age.

political and legal factors.

The politics of Saudi Arabia takes place in the context of a unitary absolute monarchy along Islamic lines,
where the King is both the head of state and government. Decisions are, to a large extent, made on the
basis of consultation among the King, the Council of Ministers, and the country's traditional elites. Most
critics regard the Saudi government as a totalitarian state.

economic factors.
The economy of Saudi Arabia is the largest in the Middle East and the eighteenth largest in the world. A
permanent and founding member of the OPEC, Saudi Arabia is also a member of the G20 forum as one
of the world's largest economies.

educational factors.

Public education from primary education through college is open to every Saudi citizen. The second
largest governmental spending in Saudi Arabia goes for education.Saudi Arabia spends 8.8% of its gross
domestic product on education, which is nearly double the global average of 4.6%.Islamic studies are
part of the education system alongside scientific and social studies that vary from educational institution
to another.

kinship and social factors.

The kinship principle is pervasive in Saudi society, and the extended family is a strong social unit. Villages
constitute local service centres and contain members from more than one tribal affiliation, though one
group may tend to be dominant. Cities are not tribally organized, though the importance of kinship
affiliation endures, and local affairs tend to be dominated and administered by a few families. Social
stratification is more clearly developed in the cities than elsewhere. Before the effects of oil were felt on
the economy, status was a matter of lineage and occupation rather than of wealth; with the
development of the oil industry, however, wealth and material position have acquired an additional
social value.

african

Technological factors.

In the whole world, one continent that seems to be lagging behind the whole world is Africa and there
are many reasons why that is happening. Weak connectivity, trade infrastructure, and knowledge
ecosystems, etc are just a few of the shortcomings as to why is Africa lagging behind the world in terms
of digital technology. Let's have a look at some of the Top Reasons Why Africa Is Lagging Behind The
World In Technology:

1.Education Gap And Illiteracy

2.Outdated Government Policies

3.Poor Infrastructure

4.Corruption

religious and philosophical factors.

African religion refers to the indigenous or autochthonous religions of the African people. It deals with
their cosmology, ritual practices, symbols, arts, society, and so on. Because religion is a way of life, it
relates to culture and society as they affect the worldview of the African people.

The ugly episodes of slavery, colonialism and racialism not only shaped the world’s perception of Africa;
they also instigated a form of intellectual revolt from the African intelligentsias. The frustration with the
colonial order eventually led to angry questions and reactions out of which African philosophy emerged.

cultural values, belief and way of living factors.

Native African religions are centered on ancestor worship, the belief in a spirit world, supernatural
beings and free will (unlike the later developed concept of faith). Deceased humans (and animals or
important objects) still exist in the spirit world and can influence or interact with the physical world.

political and legal factors.

The African society definitely has political institutions with heads of such institutions as respected
individuals. The most significant thing about the traditional society is that the political hierarchy begins
with the family. Each family has a family head; each village has a village head. From these, we have clan
head and above the clan head, is the paramount ruler. This kind of political arrangement is observable in
the Southern part of Nigeria. Prior to the coming of Western colonisation and its subsequent subversion
of the African traditional political arrangements, African societies had their council of chiefs, advisers,
cult groups, and so on. It was believed that disloyalty to a leader was disloyalty to God and the position
of leadership was either hereditary or by conquest. In Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, for instance, even
though the traditional political institution was overwhelmingly totalitarian, there were still some checks
and balances.
economic factors.

the economy of most of Africa can be characterized as underdeveloped. Africa as a whole has abundant
natural resources, but much of its economy has remained predominantly agricultural, and subsistence
farming still engages more than 60 percent of the population.

educational factors.

African education, particularly in West and Central Africa, is characterised by both traditional African
teachings and European-style schooling systems. The state of education reflects not only the effects of
colonialism, but instability resulting from and exacerbated by armed conflicts in many regions of Africa
as well as fallout from humanitarian crises such as famine, lack of drinking water, and outbreaks of
diseases such as malaria and Ebola, among others. Although the quality of education and the quantity of
well-equipped schools and teachers has steadily increased since the onset of the colonial period, there
are still evident numerous inequalities in the existing educational systems based on region, economic
status, and gender.

kinship and social factors.

Social values can simply be seen as those beliefs and practices that are practised by any particular
society. The society has a way of dictating the beliefs and practices that are performed either routinely
by its members or performed whenever the occasion demands. Hence, we have festivals, games, sports
and dances that are peculiar to different societies. These activities are carried out by the society because
they are seen to be necessary. Some social values, especially in African society, cannot exactly be
separated from religious, moral, political values and so on. This is why we can see that in a traditional
African society like in Ibibio land (Nigeria), festivals which were celebrated often had religious
undertones - they ended with sacrifices that were offered to certain deities on special days in order to
attract their goodwill on the members of the society. Social values are backed by customary laws. They
comprise of those traditional carnivals that a people see as necessary for their meaningful survival. Let
us illustrate with an example: the new yam festival as practised in Ibibio land has a way of encouraging
hard work and checking famine. It was a thing of shame for any man to buy yams for his family within
the first two to three weeks after the festival. Doing so would expose a man as being too lazy. These
festivals really discipline the society because nobody is to do anything when it is not time. For instance,
new yam could not be eaten until the new yam festival has been celebrated.
vietnamese

Technologicql factors.

Technological factors affecting Vietnam

Flourishing start-up culture, international investments, low costs, government initiatives, and an
educated workforce have been driving an IT revolution in Vietnam for a long time.

religious and philosophical factors.

Buddhism as practiced by the ethnic Vietnamese is mainly of the Mahayana school, although some
ethnic minorities (such as the Khmer Krom in the southern Delta region of Vietnam) adhere to the
Theravada school. Today, more than half of the Vietnamese population, consider themselves as
adherents of Mahayana Buddhism.The philosophical thought of Vietnam in Vietnamese feudal society
was characterized by the Southeast Asian thought with the mix of the three teachings: Confucianism,
Buddhism, and Taoism combined with indigenous (folk) ideas; and influenced by Chinese and Indian
cultures.

cultural values, belief and way of living factors.

Vietnamese cultural values emphasize the importance of family and community. Its core values, which
embrace the principles of Confucianism, are harmony, duty, honor, respect, education and allegiance to
the family.

Political and legal factors.

In Vietnam, the president is the elected head of state and the commander-in-chief of the military, while
the prime minister is the head of government. It is a country where the role of the Communist Party of
Vietnam (CPV) is asserted virtually in all spheres of life.
economic factors.

Vietnam's economy is based on large state-owned industries such as textiles, food, furniture, plastics
and paper as well as tourism and telecommunications.

educational factors.

A few key factors have helped Vietnam are: Demonstrated commitment to education, Improvements in
school and teacher quality, Outwards orientation to keep the system evolving, Out-of-school children
and Changing skill needs.

kinship and Social factors.

Due to diverse cultural traditions, historical events, and the geography, there are a number of distinct
regions in the country that differ from one another. However most Vietnamese in rural areas live in
villages that focus on agriculture and family is a central value throughout Vietnam. However more and
more Vietnamese immigrate to urban areas in search of jobs and a higher standard of living.
