Inglehart–Welzel Cultural Map

The Inglehart–Welzel Cultural Map is a tool that visualizes how countries differ in their core values and cultural priorities. It plots nations along two axes: one measures traditional versus secular-rational values, focusing on religion, authority, and family, while the other measures survival versus self-expression values, emphasizing economic security, individual rights, and personal fulfillment. This map helps us understand global cultural differences, showing regions that emphasize tradition and survival needs versus those valuing openness and self-expression. It reflects how historical, social, and economic factors shape collective attitudes in different societies.
