Abstract:	This research explores how domestic violence is explainedon a culturally specified theoretical basis. Two Confucian societies were identified-Taiwan and Korea. Data were collected from official sources of the two countries of ten years, the length of the time the woman protection laws appeared in the two targeted societies. Findings indicate that domestic violence becomes unexplainable when culture is transformed following the evolution of national wealth and political democratization as is in the case of Taiwan. In contrast, Korea maintained its tradition having gone through the same track of change, and the theory of Confucianism orientation was concluded.
