"The Pew Research Center’s 2013 Global Attitudes survey asked 40,117 respondents in 40 countries what they thought about eight topics often discussed as moral issues: extramarital affairs, gambling, homosexuality, abortion, premarital sex, alcohol consumption, divorce, and the use of contraceptives.1 For each issue, respondents were asked whether this is morally acceptable, morally unacceptable, or not a moral issue. The chart below displays the median responses for each question across the 40 countries."

Very interesting. Play with it for a few minutes. View by issue, or by country.

What do you find the most suprising/shocking, or even just funny?

For me, it would be the percentage who find extramarital affairs unacceptable in France, just 47%.

47% sound high.

France not giving a single fuck.

Wow.

It's incredible what the people of Pakistan find "unacceptable" given the things they seem to find acceptable.

"The World Economic Forum ranked Chad, Pakistan and Yemen as the worst in their Global Gender Gap Report.[9] Pakistani women face atrocities like rape, acid throwing, honour killings, forced marriages, forced prostitution and the buying and selling of women.[10] The past few years have been witness to a steep increase in such crimes.[10]"
