World Values Survey

Provides an interesting map, the Inglehart-Welzel Cultural Map of the World, which divides global culture up into to scales of development.
This approach doesn't seem to to be infused with a understanding of Spiral Dynamics or the like, so seems a little simplistic to me, but interesting none the less. Of interest is the general classifications of African and Eastern European and South East Asian cultures. Probably one of the most important distinctions that we can make about global cultures through systems like Spiral Dynamics and the World Values Survey is that there is huge variation in consciousness and sophistication of cultural development in different regions of the globe.
I think these massive differences in value systems are the greatest challenge we face in the development of a global culture in the 21st century.
