The concept that describes the extent to which people in a society accept status and power inequalities as a normal and functional aspect of life is known as power distance. It is one of the dimensions of Hofstede's cultural framework, which refers to how society deals with the fact that people are unequal in physical and intellectual capabilities, and how people relate to authority. Gender role orientation refers to the cultural expectations of the behaviors and attitudes of men and women. Uncertainty avoidance is a measure of the level of tolerance for uncertainty and ambiguity within a culture, whereas short-term orientation is a dimension of culture that refers to how a society values traditions and the past versus the present and future.
