Describe two of the five Cultural Dimensions proposed by Hofstede. Give an example of one country that you think has pretty extreme scores (in either direction) on both of these dimensions. Note: It is more important that your explanation makes sense and is complete than that the country actually does have extreme scores.
Answer: Something in the direction of:
1. Masculinity versus femininity: The relationship between biological sex and what is considered sex-appropriate behavior.
2. Individualism versus collectivism: Addresses how people define themselves and their relationship with other, does the self values individual uniqueness or is the self more focused on cooperation.
The United States score high on masculinity, because they are seen as a very assertive and decisive country.
