The dimension that focuses on how a society deals with the fact that people are unequal in physical and intellectual capabilities is power distance according to Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory. Power distance refers to the extent to which the less powerful members of organizations and institutions (like the family) accept and expect that power is distributed unequally. A high power distance indicates that members of a society accept and expect power to be distributed unequally, while a low power distance means that members of a society strive to equalize the distribution of power.
