This initial analysis identified systematic differences in national cultures on four primary dimensions: power distance (PDI)‚ individualism (IDV)‚ uncertainty avoidance (UAI) and masculinity (MAS)‚ which are described below. As Hofstede explains on his academic website‚ these dimensions regard “four anthropological problem areas that different national societies

1. What was the idea of ‘balance of power’ as practiced in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries? (Short Answer). The idea behind the balance-of-power was mainly to keep the states with their own independence and avoid universal monarchy. States would often form an alliance with the weaker states if “one state seemed to dictate too much” (Palmer‚ Colton‚ & Kramer 2014). Often times the state that did not like what the other state was doing they would build up alliance with the weaker

Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaics (PV)‚ or indirectly with concentrated solar power (CSP)‚ which normally focuses the sun’s energy to boil water which is then used to provide power. Other technologies also exist‚ such as Stirling engine dishes which use a Stirling cycle engine to power a generator. Photovoltaics were initially‚ and still are‚ used to power small and medium-sized applications‚ from the

Separation of Powers‚ Checks and Balances So how does the U.S. Constitution provide for a system of separation of powers and check and balances? According to our lesson 3 Congress lecture‚ our Founding Fathers foresaw that the Congress would be the most central branch of government‚ even if our U.S. Constitution provides for “separation of powers” and “checks and balances”. In addition‚ James Madison and others who feared that the Congress would have too much power‚ decided to settle on the proposal

The Power of War War has been around since the beginning of time; people would always fight one another for land‚ money‚ or freedom. It has always been around and always will. With war comes meaning‚ sacrifice‚ dedication‚ hope‚ and devastation. War is one thing that is inevitable in the history of mankind; it is what draws people together and pulls them apart. Going into battle can be addicting since it causes adrenaline rushes and excitement for having meaning in someone’s life. While it can

Power is defined as a national strength‚ strength controls over other authority. Power isn’t necessarily a bad thing‚ it is only a bad thing when it is abused‚ and that is when the problem begins‚ abuse of power really reminds me of hitler’s plan to kill all the Jews and in antigone when Creon abuses his power of being king. During the 20th century‚ the Germans faced a terrible economic depression during that time the people had began to lose their trust with the government‚ which resulted into
