Theory of cultural difference Sample Clauses

Theory of cultural difference. There are many other definitions of cultures nowadays, but seldom can we find a tool to compare the difference of culture scientifically. However, in this thesis I would like to use the most famous definition of culture given by professor Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, and to search for difference in this way. According to his definition, culture is “the collectiveprogrammingofthemindwhichdistinguishesthemembersofonegroupor category ofpeoplefromanother”. Culture, after development for so many years, its strategic position has become much more outstanding, and thus Xxxxxxxx’s definition has been widely used in the researches of social sciences. Hofstede divided culture into six dimensions, four of which are the most relevant theory for this research, they are namely power distance (PD), Individualism & Collectivism (IDV), Masculinity & Femininity (MAS) and Uncertainty Avoidance (UAI). These dimensions are applied to curve a framework of the influence of culture on educational cooperation. � Power distance: “The extent to which less powerful members within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally” (Xxxx, 2009). Power distance is the degree to which the members of organizations and institutions (like the family) in lower position accept that power is distributed unequally and have limited access to the higher management or top of the hierarchy. Cultures endorsed low power distance expect and enjoy the power distribution, people inside are much happier and efficiency.
