http://foxhugh.com/multicultural/hofstede-power-distance-exercise/
This worksheet looks at five social spheres. Again, the purpose of the exercise is to make the student think with a sociological perspective. The instructor should pick a country other than the student’s passport country for comparison. The instructor should also pick a country the students are very familiar with, possibly a neighboring country that the students often visit. The instructor should emphasize that the conceptualization is just the first step and the next step would be personal empirical observation or better yet formal research. If the student were to pick “<” for the first social sphere then the student is stating that power distance between boss and employee is less in country A than in country B.
