Describe one way that the United States currently demonstrates high “power distance” and one way the United States demonstrates low “power distance”
Prompt
In a posting of at least 150 words with one properly cited reference (the readings or videos from class are fine), answers the following questions:
- Think about your future career. In your opinion, if you could only have either equality or equity, which would you rather see and why?
- Think about “power distance” and “power dynamics”. Describe one way that the United States currently demonstrates high “power distance” and one way the United States demonstrates low “power distance” (in a historical context). How do these both affect “equality of opportunity” in today’s workplace? How are “power dynamics” evident in today’s workplace and how has “equality of opportunity” changed “power dynamics” from what it once was? Explain the reasoning behind your example.
- How do our ideas about equality and equity affect our ideas of “power distance”? How is this illustrated in your career?
For your citation, you might use articles that show examples of how the United States currently demonstrates high power distance. You can also find articles from experts that suggest how our ideas of equality and equity affect our ideas of power distance.
