Final answer:
The statement that 'People with high power distance expect relatively equal power sharing' is false. High power distance cultures accept and expect inequalities in power distribution and are less likely to challenge hierarchical structures. Option B is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement 'People with high power distance expect relatively equal power sharing' is False. Power distance is a term that originates from the study of cross-cultural communication. It describes the extent to which individuals who are less powerful within a society accept and expect that power is distributed unequally. While those lower in the hierarchy have less say and are expected to follow orders without question. A good example of a country with high power distance is Japan, where respect for authority and hierarchical structures are deeply ingrained in the culture.
In cultures with high power distance, there is an acceptance of a higher level of inequality in power distribution. Such individuals expect clear hierarchical structures, with power concentrated in the hands of a few, and they are less likely to challenge or seek equal power sharing. In contrast, low power distance cultures tend to advocate for more equitable power distribution and flatter organizational structures.
