Q1. What do you think about this map?
It is the same as I expected. I thought that Self Expression Values are lower if they believe in strict religion. For example, Catholic is more conservative than Protestant, and Islamics are more conservative than Catholic. So I think the picture above is quite right. But I don't agree with the Survival Values part. It shows that people in countries like South Korea and Hong Kong and Taiwan have lower Self Expression Value, but I think that's not related to religion.
Q2. Why do different cultures view women differently?
I think that’s because they all have different cultural backgrounds.
For example, they all believe in different religion, some of them believe in
Christianity, some of them believe Islam, some of them are strongly religious while other’s don’t. I think those factors influence to the different view to women. And their religion has different perspective of women, so their view of women is all different.
At the above example, Muslim countries have high distrust to women, which comes from their religion.

Q1. Why is God in Christianity often portrayed as a male?
I think that’s because when the picture is drawn, the male had the power. So if they represent God as women, they lose the good cause to argue that men are superior to women. I think that is the same reason why god is represented as a cocasian male in these days. They also have the power.
