Define and describe the essential differences between large and small power distance cultures.

What will be an ideal response?

Cultures with a smaller power distance emphasize that inequalities among people should be minimized and that there should be interdependence between less powerful and more powerful people. In cultures with small power distance, family members are generally treated as equal and familial decisions are reached democratically.
In cultures with a larger power distance, inequalities among people are both expected and desired. Less powerful people should be dependent on more powerful people. In many larger power distance cultures, there is a strict hierarchy among family members where typically the father rules authoritatively.
