Which cultural dimension reflects the social inequality between people?

The cultural dimension that reflects social inequality between people is Power Distance. This concept, developed by Geert Hofstede, refers to the extent to which less powerful members of a society defer to and accept the unequal distribution of power. A high power distance indicates a greater acceptance of hierarchical order and an expectation that authority figures and elites will make decisions, while a low power distance reflects a more egalitarian approach where power is distributed more equally.

In cultures with high power distance, social stratification is pronounced, and individuals are more likely to accept and expect inequalities in power and authority. Conversely, cultures with low power distance tend to promote more equal relationships among people, encouraging flatter organizational structures and open communication.

The other dimensions mentioned relate to different aspects of culture, such as whether societies prioritize collective or individual goals (Collectivism and Individualism) or focus on traditionally feminine or masculine traits (Femininity). However, none of these dimensions directly address the aspect of social inequality as Power Distance does.
