Artifact 2 | Hofstede’s Country Comparison

I chose to compare the U.S. to China. When I tutored a young boy from China, the owners of the language institution where also Chinese. There was a language barrier some of the time, but the difference between how I or another American instructor would view things, for example classroom dynamics, was very different from how the director of institution view classroom dynamics. It really piqued my curiosity as I navigated these differences.

Screenshot of the bar graph comparison of China and the U.S. There is a major contrast in most categories and others are about the same

Hierarchies in China seem to be the norm, and that showed with classroom dynamics, and a higher score in Power Distance on the Hofstede’s 6 dimension evaluation. Another difference I noticed was the difference in opinion of how to spend time, which reflects in a low Indulgence score for China. I found this artifact very interesting, and it made it to the 2nd overall top artifact because of a new hindsight I can reflect on my experiences.
