Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Hofstede identified five dimensions of cultural differences. Power distance is the extent to which individuals expect a hierarchical structure that emphasizes status differences between subordinates and superiors. Individualism is the degree to which a society values personal goals, autonomy, and privacy over group loyalty, commitment to group norms, involvement in collective activities, social cohesiveness, and intense socialization. Uncertainty avoidance is the extent to which a society places a high value on reducing risk and instability. Masculinity/femininity is the degree to which a society views assertive or masculine behavior as important to success and encourages rigidly stereotyped gender roles. Long-term/short-term orientation is the extent to which values are oriented toward the future as opposed to the past or present.
