Introduction
Move UP is about uncovering the reasons why some cultures move faster
than others
Singapore vs. France – What is it that Singaporeans have done right and
French are doing wrong?
Singapore separated in 1964, had no land, resources, economy or
agriculture but still how did they advance?
Lee Kuan Yew said ,”One word: clean. We are going to start with clean.
Everything is going to be clean, your clothes, home and bodies.”
By focusing on one simple dimension within the culture, the society
changed
Became more organized, disciplined, and helped individuals move up
Movement of people another indicator of culture moving up or down
Some walls are built between nations to keep people in or to keep them out; to
show how competitive the world has become at present
Questions about culture like “Why are most Catholic countries poor and more of the
Protestants ones rich?
GNH (Gross National Happiness) pioneered by the government of Bhutan; though
this might be inconvenient or inaccurate
“A good deal of innovation and drive can arise out of discontent”
Moving up: the degree to which a country enables its people to evolve both
socially and economically to become happier and feel more purposeful
Mobility is increased not only by better educational opportunities, better access to
quality medical care, the rooting out of corruption, open exchange of ideas and
fostering innovation
But whether a country fosters abandoned cultural practices that limit the
opportunities of people
