What will be an ideal response?


Power distance refers to the perceived equality or inequality felt between people in certain cultural or social contexts. In a high-power distance society, inequality is accepted as the norm, and there is no opportunity for “have-nots” to gain power or advancement. In contrast, a low level of power distance is characterized by less rigid power structures where inequality is viewed as atypical. A low level of power distance allows for opportunities for all.
