Greet Hofstede's Dimensions

Hofstede's Dimensions are a way to understand how different cultures think and behave. They include factors like Power Distance (how much people accept unequal power), Individualism vs. Collectivism (value on independence versus group harmony), Uncertainty Avoidance (comfort with uncertainty and change), Masculinity vs. Femininity (toughness versus nurturing traits), Long-term vs. Short-term Orientation (focus on future versus present), and Indulgence vs. Restraint (gratification of desires). These dimensions help explain cultural differences that influence communication, decision-making, and social norms across countries.
