Your analysis should comprise the following: Score on each dimension Significance of the score
and in-depth analysis Your own experience in the Canadian culture highlighting any one of the
given cultural dimensions WHAT ABOUT CANADA? If we explore the Canadian culture through
the lens of the 6-D Model, we can get a good overview of the deep drivers of Canadian culture
relative to other world cultures.
POWER DISTANCE
This dimension deals with the fact that all individuals in societies are not equal it expresses the
attitude of the culture towards these inequalities amongst us. Power Distance is defined as the
extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organisations within a
country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally. It has to do with the fact that a
societys inequality is endorsed by the followers as much as by the leaders.
With a score of 39 on this dimension, Canadian culture is marked by interdependence among its
inhabitants and there is value placed on egalitarianism. This is also reflected by the lack of overt
status and/or class distinctions in society. Typical of other cultures with a low score on this
dimension, hierarchy in Canadian organisations is established for convenience, superiors are
always accessible and managers rely on individual employees and teams for their expertise. It is
customary for managers and staff members to consult one another and to share information freely.
With respect to communication, Canadians value a straightforward exchange of information.
INDIVIDUALISM
The fundamental issue addressed by this dimension is the degree of interdependence a society
maintains among its members. It has to do with whether peoples self-image is defined in terms
of I or We. In Individualist societies people are supposed to look after themselves and their direct
family only. In Collectivist societies people belong to in groups that take care of them in exchange
for loyalty.
Canada scores 80 on this dimension (its highest dimension score) and can be characterized as an
Individualist culture. Similar to its American neighbor to the south, this translates into a loosely-knit
society in which the expectation is that people look after themselves and their immediate families.
Similarly, in the business world, employees are expected to be self-reliant and display initiative.
Also, within the exchange-based world of work, hiring and promotion decisions are based merit or
evidence of what one has done or can do.
MASCULINITY
A high score (Masculine) on this dimension indicates that the society will be driven by competition,
achievement and success, with success being defined by the winner or best-in-the-field. This
value system starts in school and continues throughout ones life both in work and leisure pursuits.
A low score (Feminine) on the dimension means that the dominant values in society are caring for
others and quality of life. A Feminine society is one where quality of life is the sign of success and
standing out from the crowd is not admirable. The fundamental issue here is what motivates
people, wanting to be the best (Masculine) or liking what you do (Feminine).
Canada scores 52 on this dimension and can be characterized as a moderately Masculine society.
While Canadians strive to attain high standards of performance in both work and play (sports), the
overall cultural tone is more subdued with respect to achievement, success and winning, when
compared to the US. Similarly, Canadians also tend to have a work-life balance and are likely to
take time to enjoy personal pursuits, family gatherings and life in general. This is not to say that
Canadians are not hard workers. As a general rule, Canadians strive to attain high standards of
performance in all endeavors.
UNCERTAINTY AVOIDANCE
The dimension Uncertainty Avoidance has to do with the way that a society deals with the fact that
the future can never be known: should we try to control the future or just let it happen? This
ambiguity brings with it anxiety and different cultures have learnt to deal with this anxiety in
different ways. The extent to which the members of a culture feel threatened by ambiguous
or unknown situations and have created beliefs and institutions that try to avoid these is
reflected in the score on Uncertainty Avoidance.
The Canadian score on this dimension is 48 and Canadian culture is more uncertainty accepting.
This is indicative of the easy acceptance of new ideas, innovative products and a willingness to try
something new or different, whether it pertains to technology, business practices, or consumer
products. Canadians are also tolerant of ideas or opinions from anyone and allow the freedom of
expression. At the same time, Canadian culture is not rules-oriented and Canadians tend to be
less emotionally expressive than cultures scoring higher on this dimension.
LONG TERM ORIENTATION
This dimension describes how every society has to maintain some links with its own past
while dealing with the challenges of the present and future, and societies prioritise these two
existential goals differently. Normative societies. which score low on this dimension, for example,
prefer to maintain time-honoured traditions and norms while viewing societal change with
suspicion. Those with a culture which scores high, on the other hand, take a more pragmatic
approach: they encourage thrift and efforts in modern education as a way to prepare for the future.
Canada scores 36 in this dimension, marking it as a normative society. People in such societies
have a strong concern with establishing the absolute Truth; they are normative in their thinking.
They exhibit great respect for traditions, a relatively small propensity to save for the future, and a
focus on achieving quick results.
INDULGENCE
One challenge that confronts humanity, now and in the past, is the degree to which small children
are socialized. Without socialization we do not become human. This dimension is defined as the
extent to which people try to control their desires and impulses, based on the way they were
raised. Relatively weak control is called Indulgence and relatively strong control is called Restraint.
Cultures can, therefore, be described as Indulgent or Restrained.
The high score of 68 in this dimension means that Canadian culture is classified as Indulgent.
People in societies classified by a high score in Indulgence generally exhibit a willingness to
realise their impulses and desires with regard to enjoying life and having fun. They possess a
positive attitude and have a tendency towards optimism. In addition, they place a higher degree of
importance on leisure time, act as they please and spend money as they wish.

Your analysis should comprise the following: Score on each dimension Significance of the score and in-depth analysis Your own experience in the Canadian culture highlighting any one of the given cultural dimensions WHAT ABOUT CANADA? If we explore the Canadian culture through the lens of the 6-D Model, we can get a good overview of the deep drivers of Canadian culture relative to other world cultures. POWER DISTANCE This dimension deals with the fact that all individuals in societies are not equal it expresses the attitude of the culture towards these inequalities amongst us. Power Distance is defined as the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organisations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally. It has to do with the fact that a societys inequality is endorsed by the followers as much as by the leaders. With a score of 39 on this dimension, Canadian culture is marked by interdependence among its inhabitants and there is value placed on egalitarianism. This is also reflected by the lack of overt status and/or class distinctions in society. Typical of other cultures with a low score on this dimension, hierarchy in Canadian organisations is established for convenience, superiors are always accessible and managers rely on individual employees and teams for their expertise. It is customary for managers and staff members to consult one another and to share information freely. With respect to communication, Canadians value a straightforward exchange of information. INDIVIDUALISM The fundamental issue addressed by this dimension is the degree of interdependence a society maintains among its members. It has to do with whether peoples self-image is defined in terms of I or We. In Individualist societies people are supposed to look after themselves and their direct family only. In Collectivist societies people belong to in groups that take care of them in exchange for loyalty. Canada scores 80 on this dimension (its highest dimension score) and can be characterized as an Individualist culture. Similar to its American neighbor to the south, this translates into a loosely-knit society in which the expectation is that people look after themselves and their immediate families. Similarly, in the business world, employees are expected to be self-reliant and display initiative. Also, within the exchange-based world of work, hiring and promotion decisions are based merit or evidence of what one has done or can do. MASCULINITY A high score (Masculine) on this dimension indicates that the society will be driven by competition, achievement and success, with success being defined by the winner or best-in-the-field. This value system starts in school and continues throughout ones life both in work and leisure pursuits. A low score (Feminine) on the dimension means that the dominant values in society are caring for others and quality of life. A Feminine society is one where quality of life is the sign of success and standing out from the crowd is not admirable. The fundamental issue here is what motivates people, wanting to be the best (Masculine) or liking what you do (Feminine). Canada scores 52 on this dimension and can be characterized as a moderately Masculine society. While Canadians strive to attain high standards of performance in both work and play (sports), the overall cultural tone is more subdued with respect to achievement, success and winning, when compared to the US. Similarly, Canadians also tend to have a work-life balance and are likely to

As a general rule, Canadians strive to attain high standards of performance in all endeavors. UNCERTAINTY AVOIDANCE The dimension Uncertainty Avoidance has to do with the way that a society deals with the fact that the future can never be known: should we try to control the future or just let it happen? This ambiguity brings with it anxiety and different cultures have learnt to deal with this anxiety in different ways. The extent to which the members of a culture feel threatened by ambiguous or unknown situations and have created beliefs and institutions that try to avoid these is reflected in the score on Uncertainty Avoidance. The Canadian score on this dimension is 48 and Canadian culture is more uncertainty accepting. This is indicative of the easy acceptance of new ideas, innovative products and a willingness to try something new or different, whether it pertains to technology, business practices, or consumer products. Canadians are also tolerant of ideas or opinions from anyone and allow the freedom of expression. At the same time, Canadian culture is not rules-oriented and Canadians tend to be less emotionally expressive than cultures scoring higher on this dimension. LONG TERM ORIENTATION This dimension describes how every society has to maintain some links with its own past while dealing with the challenges of the present and future, and societies prioritise these two existential goals differently. Normative societies. which score low on this dimension, for example, prefer to maintain time-honoured traditions and norms while viewing societal change with suspicion. Those with a culture which scores high, on the other hand, take a more pragmatic approach: they encourage thrift and efforts in modern education as a way to prepare for the future. Canada scores 36 in this dimension, marking it as a normative society. People in such societies have a strong concern with establishing the absolute Truth; they are normative in their thinking. They exhibit great respect for traditions, a relatively small propensity to save for the future, and a focus on achieving quick results. INDULGENCE One challenge that confronts humanity, now and in the past, is the degree to which small children are socialized. Without socialization we do not become human. This dimension is defined as the extent to which people try to control their desires and impulses, based on the way they were raised. Relatively weak control is called Indulgence and relatively strong control is called Restraint. Cultures can, therefore, be described as Indulgent or Restrained. The high score of 68 in this dimension means that Canadian culture is classified as Indulgent. People in societies classified by a high score in Indulgence generally exhibit a willingness to realise their impulses and desires with regard to enjoying life and having fun. They possess a positive attitude and have a tendency towards optimism. In addition, they place a higher degree of importance on leisure time, act as they please and spend money as they wish.
