Reflection Case

Many countries in the world are particularly different from each other, especially when it comes to their value dimensions. An agreeable example is the United States of America and India. One might think to himself/herself, how can these two countries be different in value dimensions due to their immense population?

When it comes to the United States, we are more individualism country. Americans have more personal rights and privacy. We like to have are own privacy at times to recollect are thoughts and relax.

If it is different from our norm we get tense and at times do not know how to react. In India they are lower, meaning they are more self reliant and willing to take risks. Can adapt to changes faster than Americans. The third classification is Power Distance. India is higher than United States on the scale. Indians love the power in relationships a
