The Five Dimensions

 

-  Individualism/Collectivism

This one means that, in society, are people who is completely independent. No matter what, they're just focus on themself. But talking about collectivism, it's like a family or any group which, actually, is more important than anything else.

- Uncertainly avoidance

Exist cultures that are prepared for everything, just for avoid surprises. Also, there are other cultures thar are more relaxed about it. In conclusion some need details about the future, and some don't need it.

- Power distance

This dimension basically tells us that in many societies or cultures there is a person or group of people who have the power of things, they are the ones who decide everything against the economic classes.

- Masculinity


Basically, this dimension shows how in some cultures with low masculinity, both men and women have equal conditions. On the other hand, in a society with a high level of masculinity, the opposite happens, which leaves women with fewer conditions than men.

- Long-term/Short-term orientation


Long-term and short-term orientation talks about how there are people who prefer to think and focus more on the past and the present, just as there are those who think about the future.
