FUNDAMENTALISM &
SECULARISM
The Traditional/Secular-rational values dimension
reflects the contrast between societies in which religion
is very important and those in which it is not. Societies
near the traditional pole emphasize the importance of
parent-child ties and deference to authority, along with
absolute standards and traditional family values, and
reject divorce, abortion, euthanasia, and suicide. These
societies have high levels of national pride, and a
nationalistic outlook. Societies with secular-rational
values have the opposite preferences on all of these
topics. The second major dimension of cross-cultural
variation is linked with the transition from industrial
society to post-industrial societies-which brings a
polarization between Survival and Self-expression
values. The unprecedented wealth that has
accumulated in advanced societies during the past
generation means that an increasing share of the
population has grown up taking survival for granted.
Thus, priorities have shifted from an overwhelming
emphasis on economic and physical security toward an
increasing emphasis on subjective well-being, selfexpression and quality of life.
INCOME INEQUALITY
The Gini coefficient is a
number between 0 and 1,
where 0 corresponds with
perfect
equality
(where
everyone has the same
income) and 1 corresponds
with
perfect
inequality
(where one person has all the
income, and everyone else
has zero income). Countries
in red tones have societies
with more income inequality
(fewer people own most of
the wealth) than those in
green tones (people have less
wealth distinctions).

FEMALE SUFFRAGE
WOMEN IN THE 20TH CENTURY
Deficit of women in a
society is due to violence
towards women, high death
rates in childbirth, lack of
medical care for women,
and female infanticide. A
surplus of women often is
due to medical care which
tends to mean a longer
lifespan for women. An
alternative reasons include
warfare in society, which
leads to the deaths of males
and immigration – men are
more likely to immigrate to
find work.
