I agree that Germans were not direct to the point at least during the Hitler’s era,they gave their allegiance to the Nazi party & Hitler himself,they migrated from individualism & for a while became collectivist just to appease the fuhrer in spite of his atrocities in Europe!!and I think the roots of that kind of behavior still exist underlying the German society today.or Iranians and Russians have had 2 or 3 revolutions each in past 100 years but they still are in the first place,they can’t break away from dictatorship because the whole societies are built on collectivism ideas,they end up replacing one dictator with another one.
thanks for reading

Kommentar zu XI. Power distance von Steve Anson

Very helpful thanks. We have a business in India and confront issues of high and low content and power-distance frequently. It’s one thing to understand these concepts, it’s another to confront it day to day.

Kommentar zu XIII. Individualism versus collectivism von Han Fansen

The article provides quite a lot information on the difference between Individualism and Collectivism. I’d like to add to some more. Take the example of attitides toward executive compensation. The ratio of annual compensation for executives compared to line employees in the manufacturing sectours of highly individualistic tultures such as the United States and South Africa is far more disproportionate than in highly collectivist societies like Japan. Most businesses in Arab societies, where the collectivist culture is dominant, place far grester valer on the loyalty of employees than they do on efficiency.

Me too supports Weihan, as it needs to improve in English. The article will be more helpful if the language is in simple words instead of tuff words. As he says, you should have an editor with better knowledge of English language.
