Introduction Bhutan is one of the smallest developing countries located on the Himalayan Mountain. The form of government in Bhutan is a democratic constitutional monarchy. It has not been long since the country instituted democracy in 2008.

Korean Buddhism clarified a unique concept of preparing food in five precepts and forbidding to kill animals is the first one.

In my opinion, China is silently envisioning to become the ‘indisputed’ power in Asia so it can reasonably claim hegemony over most of its Asian counterparts. With respect to Bhutan, Doklam provides a wider boundary for China in the border. Constructing and building roads in Doklam is an easy way to connect with the Chumbi valley, near the Doklam plateau. Chumbi valley and Doklam are strategically important since China’s easy access to these will lead to heavy military deployment near the border which is a matter of great concern for India.
Thailand is a country full of rich history and sacred traditions that have been passed down through generations. Today, it remains one of the only South Asian country’s to have been left uncolonized by Europeans (Encyclopedia Britannica, "Thailand," 2018, para. 3).

Bhutan is comprised of many settlements each bearing its own set of traditions and culture. These rich traditions and cultures were practiced for hundreds of years, and have been passed through the generations to generations. However, with the origin of modernization and globalization, our country is moving towards a modern lifestyle which has made the lives of Bhutanese people more comfortable and easier to do day to day activities.

Introduction Before 1961, Bhutanwith its small population was largely sufficient in their needs and maintained their tradition and culture well. The living standard of an average Bhutanese was relatively low and they had their own life style unique from the rest of the world. The practice of traditional culture and value started detriotriating when Bhutan opened up to the outside world, especially its foreign relation with two immediate neighbours India and Nepal, (Collins, 2012).
